With many of our sturdy republicans, it has
long been subject of reproach to the British
Government, that the King has laureate, reg
ularly appointed, to sing his praises, for which
a salary is paid Many and many severe arti-
Gle has this custom elected from our press.
Little did those who psnned them suppose that
we should, thus soon, so far exceed the British
in this respect, as we have already done. The
King of England, I" good easy man," is satisfied
with single laureate, who, if he writes once or
twice year, birth day, or new years ode, or
something of the kind, in praise of his master,
thinks he has done his duty, and is entitled to his
pay Notso, our worthy President, zen. Jackson.
tie has more than fifty in his service, paid from
the public treasury, who feel themselves obliged
not twice year, merely, but contInualIy-to
chaunt his praises, on pain of his oispleasure,
and the loss of their offices and emoluments
This duty is performed with all the faithfulness
and servility which know ledge of their entire
dependence on his will, is calculated TO pro-
duce Though their appointments are nomin-
ally for other purposes, they evnce by their
conduct an acquaintance with the actual objects
OF their promotion, and of their intention to full

any corruption here, or not
CABINET LITERATURE. A manufacturer of
Edge Tools at Chambersburg, (Penn.) has re-
Gently presented Gen. Jackson with an axe and
Ratchet of his own make. The General, in
letter acknowledging the receipt of the present,
says :" These samples fully illustrate the ca
pacIty of our citizens TO contend successfully
with the ingenuity aud enterprise of other ma
tons They, in fact, refute the idea, too prev
alent in several portions of the Union, that the
policy of protection is, in every view of its eff
fects, unequal to the anticipation of its friends"
An idea refuted by an axe and Ratchet !!
This should be incorporated into "the second
section" If, however, the idea is SO entirely
refuted by said ave and Ratchet, we would ad-
wise the General to have one Of them suspended
in each House of Congress, as it might save our
Southern friends many long winded speech
on that point But, perhaps he intends "to
lay them up as mirror to stimulate him." as
he told the boot-maker on former occasion.
No stronger evidence could possibly be given
that the allegations of Gen. Jacksons oppo-
nents, of his unftness for the office he holds,
were true, than is afforded by his own friends
Of this, let facts speak for themselves. In both
Houses of Congress there is decided majority
OF his partizans, yet, during single session, more
important nominationsto office made by HIM have
been rejected, than had been during the twenty
years preceding, although, for two years, his i'm
mediate predecessor had Senate politically op.
posed to him! Another fact is equally striking:
OF the various subjects treated of in his first
message, Congress has either come to decs-
ion directly opposed to his recommendations in
almost every case, or has passed them over as
unworthy of notice. Yet Gen. jackson is an
nounced as candidate for reelection!

of the Enquirer, Van Buren's Jackson paper at
New York, went all the way from that city to

pokerish looking pistol with percussion lock,

CULTURE OF HEMP. It will be seen by an
article in this paper, that the Trustees of the
Agricultural Society Of this County have Of
fered liberal premiums for the most successful
experiments in the cultivation of Hemp the
present year A very decided belief is enter
tanned BY some of our most intelligent practical
farmers, that this may become an important and
profitable branch of agriculture, more so, in
deed, than almost any other in this section Of
tine country. 1t is, therefore, desirable that the
experiment be fairly tried, and we hope that
Tany may be induced to engage in making it,
that comparison may be instituted between
our various kinds of soil, in order TO ascertain
which is best adapted to the purpose An i'm
perfect experiment may be worse than none,
because it may lead to conclusion the reverse
