THE GARNET.
| The Boston Courier, ana the Boston Centinei,
| are most perfectly mistaken in the sentiment,
which they gratuiiously ascribe 10 Virginia. Mr..
Iazewell ia not disappointed, at not being np-
pointed TO tie Cabinet (tor, we have the most
elusive evidence as far back as the lst Dec. that
he did not wish it)-no1 is Virginia dis satisfied,
= "safected," because neither of her own sol s
Is in Gen. Jackson's Cabinet. Many Of her at :
zens certainly did wish MIR. TaZ well tier :;
mo-, because Air. T. was one OF her sons, but be
cause they knew him well; they knew his lofty
spirit, and his splendid qualifications. They be-
eveti, that he could promote the interests of his
| country and the glory of the Administration; but
not because In OF she was ambitious of any such
distinction. We speak confidently upon this point.
We speak not from our own feelings alone, but
IRON the declarations Of every person who has
| spoken in our presence upon this subject.
Gen, Jackson has seen int to make up his Cabi-
net from other States: and we are most conscien-
tiously convinced, that this circumstance has not
produced the slightest alienation in the bosom of
single Virginian. They have no such miserable
contemplate pride about them. NJ. Adams idly
thought to make Judgment in their affections, by
giving department to one Of our Citizens. The.
event proved his utter Ignorance OF our character.
Nor, in the late struggle, did go for Office
We went against a set of men, who had obtained
| their power by improper means, and who abused
the power which they had thus obtained. We con-
| tended Tor principle, and not for power.
And therefore it is. that when these Boston Eli
tors pretended to spy out " early symptoms of dis
affection" and "germs of opposition, in Virgil
mia, we repeat that they most grossly mistak-
| en-. Even though the Cabinet may not he in
cry respect moulded to our taste, yet if the
President will discharge his duties, and pro-
mote the prosperity of rs Coln'ry, we shall
be content-Whoever are his agents, we look to
the results. Whaiever be the men, we shall judge
them by their measures. And let those measures
be what they ought 10 be, trust there will be
no State, which Will support him with more sin
certify and pleasure, than will Virginia. We make
this declaration in the most perfect gaod faith
We are assured by gentlemen, who have had the
| best opportunities of seeing Gen. Jackson, that
they have received the most favorable impress
sions Of the integrity of his purposes, of the
quaninity Of his temper. They say he is
who likes to hear the truth. Such man deserves
TO have it spoken fairly, and fully. by those whose
opinions ought to have weight with him. Truth
il one OF the last things which reaches the of
the great-at the time that il ought 10 he the
most precious to them. The Sycophant who only
iatters the great, because he wishes to please
them, is the greatest enemy they have, even
while he wears the garb of friend
We repeat, that whatever be his cabinet, we
shall estimate them at last by their measures Let
the President and his Secretaries but do their du
ty, and he will have not only the firm support, but
the most affe ctonate and lasting gratitude Of Vir-
ginia. She dSdains all selfish views--her warm
est aspirations for the happiness of the conn
try, the stability Of the constitution, and the glory
of his administration. On every account, he has |
her kindest wishes; her most f:rYent prayers fox
his success.
&c Never Despoir ofibe Repn5tc"
We have new version OF this saying. The |
Proceedings at Washington and Mr.. CIay's iasti
dinner Speech (of which we are 20 have a series |
from Washington TO Kentucky,) manifest the mot !
TO which he has adopted
Mr.. Clay, like the retreaing Parthian, could not
leave the City without discharging an arrow be-
hind him. But il will not reach its mark, unless the
President should lay himself open TO its point.
Faulty itself could not mistake the object of
Mr. Clay or his friends. He has raised his ban
ner, and will strike for the Presidency. Whilst one
OF his toastng frienls would d" cheer us with the
mild radiance" of the setting sun. another predicts
that" his parting raw will cheer us with the hope
