These remarks have not been elected by any pre-
medltated opposition To the Administration OF Gen.
Jackson. On Inns accession To office we laid down
the same rule that we should have duue had his oppo

from THIS rule we determined not TO depart, let
who may be at the head of affairs As the couduc-

cause Tor alarm from the future consequences Of the
operation OF system, which We consider to be
enti- rcpubcanopposed to the best interests OF tho
country-and tending to overthrow all independence

AMOS KENDAII"--Among the new men
which tho elevation of Gen. jackson has brought
into public life, the of Amos Kendall stands not
the least conspicuous. lie was native, we believe,
OF the ncighbourmg borders of New Hampshire, and
received ls education at DartmoJth College. Af
ter receiving his degree he left his native State and
bent his course To the westward the saying Is 40

20 his hosPitabe mansion, and administered rs
necessities. Daring long fit of sickness which fol-
lowed, he received every attention which his situa-
ton required, and was nursed with ali the kindness
he could have received, in lis fathers house.
After his recovery, Sir. Cay gave him employment
IN his emily tutor To his children, with liberal
salary. Through his influence and agency he was
brought into notice, and became editor of the Ar

tial papers ofthe Western States. In this situation
pending the contest for President to succeed Col

of MIR. Clay, and the violent opposcr of Gen. Jack.

principle. let his subsequent conduct determine.
When the contest was over, he became the sup.

had existed to the election of Gen. Jackson all at
once vanished, and a. Kendall from Jealous oppo-
