Suppose man Of Gen. Jackson's character
had been proposed as candidate for the Pre-
sidency twenty or thirty years ago, what would
have been the result? We need moi reply. His
most enthusiastic admirers must admit that The
leading men OF those days would have laughed
at the idea, and tn. people would hardly have
thought upon the subject.
1t certainly speaks nothing in our favor, that
one who has violated the laws OF his Country
with impunify, should now receive honor for his
crimes, and BE- called upon to administer these
very laws.
To what causes then must we attribute this
change Of sentiment? Where shall we look for
the reasons that have operated 10 enlist large
body of the American people on the side of a
man, whose principles and conduc, they would
formerly have despised, and whose elevation 10
any office they would have deprecated as curse
upon the country.
The fact is, instead Of those, upright, honor
able. and patriotic men, who formerly directed
public sentiment, we have now set Of ambi.
tious. intriguing politicians, anxious 20 obtain
place and power themselves, and careless by
VIVA, means they arrive at their ends; who de-
ude and deceive their followers, and raise up
party solely and exclusively for their own be-
ne6t.
Let the people bu, look back a few years, and
they will see that this is The fact. They will
find in the hercest political struggles that have
taken place, no such men as now ead the oppo-
sition; they will see no such rancorous hostili y
displayed, and no such desperate exertions made
TO get foisted into Office.
Looking back upon these things, the people
will know bow to exercise a remedy; they will
discover that the farther they stray from The
principles which governed their fathers, the
farther will they be removed from the genuine
principles of law and liberty.

America, at the last dates.
The government troops under the C ON
mand of Cerda, defeated the rebel troops
under Ordonez, in Leon, and took posses.
sion of the city. Ordonez fled by way OF
the Pacific, and arrived at st. Salvador.
Subsequently, a severe action took place
between the government army under Gen.
Cascara, and the insurgents Of st. Saliva
dor, in st. Ana.-After this event, the CON-
mander Of the insurgents demanded a sus.
pension of hostilities, and surrendered his
sword Gen. Cascara, who hUmanely agreed
TO an srmistlce. Onthe following day, tho
Salvadorians received reinforcement,
broke the armistice recommended hostill.
ties, by assl sslnatiDg the people Of St. Ana,
without sparing the women or children.
Caseara hereup9n retired with his army,
by order of the government, to avoid sur
prise. He had, however, been reinforced,

tinue Co hold, in regard to the coming cleo ton in this State. For ourselves, we are de- termined not to give our countenancc or sun port to any man who either " siraddles the fence." or avOws his preference for the "Mil- itary Chieftain."
 It is we'll known that there are some mer in this state, who are endeavOring to pr0mOt the election of Gen. Jackson to the Presiden cy.s It is we'll known that they will attempt to. return to both branches of the Legislature as many Jackson men as pOssible-and it be- comes the Republicans of the State-it be- comes the friends of good order, and of our free and happy institutions, to be on the alert to defeat their plans. Support no man for Senator or Representative who is not known to be on the side of the AdministratiOn--for should our opponents succeed in obtaining a respectable minority in either branch of the Legislature, it would be matter of exultatiOn, and the cry of ''Jackson in Connecticut" would be resOunded through the country.- Let the elections in this State, as they are in all the other States 0fthe union, be held with particular reference to the Presidential cleo ton, and our word for it. there will not be found solitary Jacksonite in the councils of the State.
 Presidential Etect0rS.-The time has come when it is necessary that the Electors of Connecticut prepare themselves to act in3ref- erence to the Presidential Election. The next Legislature will be called upon to make a law regulating the choice ofelectors or they must hold an adjourned session, and make the choice themselves. The opposers of the Administration will make violent effort to obtain majority in one or the other branch of our Legislature. It becomes important, therefore, to draw the lines between the friends and opposers ofthe General Administration between the friends and opposers of the im- portant interests of our own state. The ma lority of the Electors of this state are the friends of our manufactures, and our internal improvements and will never vote for man untrlendly to that administration which fos- ters and protects them. But unless the E. lectOrs of Connecticut are shortly on their guard, they will be divided and defeated at the approaching election in securing these inn portant objects. The enemies of the Ad- minstration, like all mlnorities, will act in con cert, and with Van Buren policy, wlII call their friends enemies, and their enemies friends, till the whole scene is covered with the mist of confusion, and then will endeavor to carry such men as are opposed or indifftr- ent to the present administration. It is time to take sides, and let no man be back ward in expressing his opinion, or in giving confidence to others by the boldness of his efforts.
