OF vulgarisms and barbarsms, the man must
be almost as great a Ounce as the best of
them, who should expect to establish a COM
mlttee on education.
Considerable debate took place this morn
ing IN the House upon a resolution going
TO distribute the nett revenue of the Pub
lie Lands among the several states. This
seems to be the only subject remaining upon
which the North and South can be united
and here their unison being necessary, to
prevent the West from helping herself too
bountifully, it is one of sel6shness, not pat
rlotIsm. The majority of members have
been disposed to avoid this momentous ques-
ton for some years past, but the gradual en-
croachments fthe West-to use no harsher
eplthet-have driven them to the contested
point, and unless the present congress set
ties the whole question and upon terms very
favorable to the new states, it never will be
settled at all for another Congress will
place the Western star far in the ascendant,
and make the Western phalanx impregna-
ble.-Boston Courier.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.
You would like to know who will be the
next President. 1t is easy enough to see
even with the glass eye of the scurviest
politician, that New England will have nei-
Their part nor lot in the matter, unless she
chooses to behold her sUns bending their
necks to form a stair whereby the lordy
demagogue of the south or the west NAV
mount the throne. As to Gen. Jackson, lei
thy heart rest in quiet, on that topic the
wind does not sit in that quarter; there is
as much probability that you or | shall be
the man; perhaps his thinking Branch or
his profound Eaton may wish his term of
Office to be doubled, that they NAV rest Sc
cure in the cabinet, but when these and
a few personal relatives and friends are
counted, the whole host of the real Jackson
party will have been numbered. Three or
four Richmonds are in the field, and though
neither may be able to seat himself in the
chair, yet it is morally certain that neither
will wag finger to keep it filed with its
present incumbent.
The great orator of the west, doubtless
looks expectingly to the Presidency but it
is evident, that, without a powerful and al
most universal demonstl alton in his favor
from the western states, he can never reach
1t. Then the great magician of the great
est state in the union, greatest in point of
numbers) never slumbers nor sleeps. His
instruments are numberless; they are dis
posed of in every section; they are SPELL
bound to do his will and he can use them
for his purpose with skill, dexterity, and
prudence, which are entirely unknown to
Southern passion or Yankee sagacity. At
the expiration of the presidential term, the
Vice President will have served eight years
in subordinate station,-a station which
might be as well filed by man with
1.-THE of his talent,-and think YOU he will
De content To Plooo his talent in a napkin
and bury it in the earth for anothor neriod
of four or eight years? No-the genius
which could place the youth it inspired in
the foremost rank in the House of Repre-
sentatives some sixteen years ago; the light
which shone SO brilliantly in the war de-
partment at a subsequent period and the
ambition which aspired to the highest Office
in the government, in 1924, are not to be
thus extinguished. Other candidates NAV
take the field, which yet men wot not of;
but these are enough to create a ferment.
such as we have not seen. Rely upon it,
the elements are at work that will produce
an explosion to shake this political system
to It's centre. But sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof-BOston Counter.
COINCIDENCE. At the very time that
President Jackson was finishing off his
message tor Congress, in which he snrren-
dered the Indians within the State of Geor.
gla to the tender mercies of that State. a
nlll was reported in the Legislature of
Georgia, annulling the Indian governments,
uiViding tnelr territory among five counties,
ana imposing poll tar upon every male
indian IN the State. And at the same time

which are the following words =" The

ANOTHER COINCIDENCE. Just as Presi-
dent jackson had got ready to propose his
various amendments to the constitution of
the United States, Mr.. Randolph, in the
Virginia Convention, spoke thus :-"Of all
workmen, those who make or mend consti-
tntions, know the least of thois trade. we
have proved ourselves unable to make a
new constitution, or even to tinker the old
one."-BrattlebOrO' Messenger.
II has been remarked, that the Reports of the
present Secretaries abound in inuendoes and
charges against the last Administration. WIN
do not the Cabinet rely upon their own acts 10
proclaim their merits, instead of insidiousIv
bringing charges against their predecessors,
