AS we anticipated the N. Y. Courier g. ENQUIRER
is in great tribuation at the rejection of M NJ
Noah and falls foul of the Richmond Enquirer for
expressing its dislike Of editorial appointments
This is highly complimentary to the latter, and it
ought to make the most of it-so seldom can il be
abused for consistency.
We give the following extract as somewhat onoi
nous
us there at the bottom of all this something deep
e. than the mere occupation pursuit of citizens in
the minds Of some Senator'S Yes! and the time
may come when it will be imperious upon us to
tear away the veil and expose the whole machinery
TO the eyes of the people.
We have nothing 10 say to our opponents. We
had nothing to expect from then-we had no right TO
ask tavonrs from then-they have been consistent
and true to each other, while General Jackson has
had ulse. or protesting friends to inure his cause.
1t the South VIII sacrifice his friends in this manner
without cause, other sections of the union will be
more true to him He will soon have every State in
New England, with the exception probably, of Mas
sachusetts. Sixteen Senators are 10 be elected du-
ring the course OF the current year 1t is useless for
him TO make sacrifices retain such friends as Messrs
Tazewell, Tyler, of Virginia and Mr. Smith, of
South Carolina, who can alternately be with him or
against him as their secret views private purposes
direct We have done with this subiect-for the
present only We shall take it up hereafter at
length. Our letters from Washington, in express.
ing great regret and modification at the result of
Mr. NoAH's nomination, indicate hope that as only
one vote was against him, that it may be reconsider
/ ed"
We only fear that the discretion of the Editors,
VIII get the better of their passion. IF it do not
o anti, mate rich treat, fer doubt not on this
subject. there are secrets worth knowing, and these
Editors are in possession o. some OF them
a. The city of Troy, NJ Y. has followed the ex-
ample of Albany and the Regency" has been ut
terly defeated, and the Working Mem triumphant.
The New York Jackson papers say that this new
party is only the old Adams & Clay party, reorgan-
lied under namr. Should it be equally
successful elsewhere, we shall expect to hear diff,
tcrent tune from them.
u AS we have heard doubts expressed whether
Mrs Barney wrote the letter addressed to the Pre-
sident' we publish the following from Niles Weekly
Register lie would hardly speak thus positively
were he rot well assured of what he says.
We have remarks TO make on this lady's letter
land give it faithful cbronclers of the events
OF the times But it may be observed whatever diff
ieTent persons and of different parties may think of
it--tbat the whole idea ofsucb proceeding and eve
ry thought and word used, is undoubtedly her own
one acquainted with the energy and power of her
mind, VIII, for o moment, hesitate on this subject
The Few Constttution--We have returns If tb,
April vote the Constitution from all the to,,.r
and counties, except Accomack, Henry. Scot, and
Westmoreland by which it appears % .2a4 votes
were given ID its favor and l4o97 against it. To
which add the May vote Of five counties heard from
40 for' 81 against and the vote present stands
