The reereants who would join in traducing the |
Characters of such men, and who would excite |
and foster prejudces against them, against their
own State, and against their own section of the |
country and its peculiar interests are unsafe and
unfit to be trusted in any public station. With
such men, politics is a trade and they would up
hold any cause which should promise them the
greatest reward
The dolorous wailings of the Jackson papers
over the defeat of Isaac Hill, is perfectly in
character with the spirit of New England Jack
sonlsm. He has been their file leader. He
mas done more than any other man to degrade
the public press, and with it the tone of public
morals He has been publicly pronounced an
"infamous liar" under the hands of the Select.
men of his own town, an6 was so conscious of
the truth of the charge, that he dared not give
them an opportunity to prove it in court of JUS
tics. Well, then, may his partizans grievs over
the prostration of so worthy leader But, it
is said that Hill has been sacrificed BY the
enemies of the Administration, and those aoho
haze been led aaoGy By them" What com.
ment is this upon the intelligence of the Jack
son majority in the United States Senate. AT.
ter Hill has held the Office whole year, after
his nomination has been before the Senate
near five months, and every opportunity afford
ed for investigation after the most unwearied
efforts have been made to procure the eonfirma-
ton of his nomination, on party grounds espe.
ciay, it is still said that the wise Jackson Sen.
ators have been " misled" by their adversaries !
Here is another evidence Of the profound wis
dom and logical acumen displayed by some of
the Jackson oracles. Only let them alone, and
they will soon stultify the whole party, as they
already have done themselves and their leading
Senators.
AS suitable conclusion of this article. and
to shew the respect which Isaac Hill entertains
for the Holy Scriptures and for the religion
which they teach, we publish the following toast
given by him at public dinner in Washington
few days after his nomination was rejected:
By Mr.. Isaac Hill. Democracy: "Where.
fore do take my flesh in my teeth, and put nv
life in my hand Though he STAY me, yet will
trust in him."
In relation to this toast, the Washington
Spectator justly remarks, that "to quote the
most solemn passages of the sacred scripture.
over the hllarities of the festive glass, and to
substitute the mere spirit of a political party
for the Eternal Jehovah, is an act of impietv
that can find no apology even in the rawlings of
drunken delirium." fthe Senators were not
before entirely satisfied of the propriety of their
course, they must have been made so by this
disgusting exhibition.
