occasion to speak of the immoral character of
the Jackson press and ofthe corrupting and de.
grading influence it was calculated to have on
the state of society. Among the Editors of
that party, Isaac Hill has stood conspicuous for
mingilng the most solemn illusions, drawn from
the scriptures, with his bitterest political arti
cles, in such manner as to shock the sensibil
tiles of every person of correct taste and feel
ings. His toast at Washington is already be-
fore our readers. Another Instance of a SINH
lar character occurred at the close of the late
election in New Hampshire. By resorting to
the basest forgery, and publishing the grossest
libels on the character of the opposing candi-
date-libels for which actions are now pending
the Jackson party succeeded in carrying the
election In announcing this result, the Con-
cord Patriot, Hills paper, broke out into this
exclamation:
JEHOVAH has triumphed the people are Free"
Such an exclamation, made on the occa sion
of a victory achieved by such means. can hard
ly find parallel in the annals of profanity.
The FeiO York Enquirer, Noahs paper is char
acterised by goodly portion of the same low vul-
garity,yet without those daringly impious allu-
sons for which Hill and his paper il is TO be hop
ed, deserve the sole credit. The staff with which
the readers of the Enquirer are treated may be
judged of by the following extract from their
Washington correspondents letter dated March
81:

These specimens are from the two leading
papers of the party in New England and New
York. Their conductors and imitators from
them down to the Boston Statesman, and from
that down to those feeble things whose names
are lost in their own insignifcance, generally
partake of the same spirit, with this difference
only, that, while the minor publications display
the same want of principle as their superiors,
they lack the talent and spirit which often en-
bellishes their productions and renders them
less odious and offensive. Like the bungling
attempts Of young tyro in proAigacy, to imi-
tate the vices of his seniors, their uncouthness
would be cause of ridicule and merrimcnt,
were not those feelings overcome by the strong
or one of disgust at the vulgar exhibition n.
Strong efforts are to be made, to induce the !
Senate to reverse the decisions by which they
have stamped disgrace on the names of Hill and !
Noah. Although the former was rejected by I
SO strong majority, and the Senate afterwards
refused to reconsider the vote, still, he is kept
in the office by the President, and is to be re-
nominated by him, provided that, by bargain
ing, management, aud intrigue, a sufficient
number Of Senators can be induced to abandon
the ground they have once taken. The politi-
caliy proAigate Noah has gone on, post haste,
to Washington, to obtain reconsideration of !
his case. Although, heretofore, decided par
titan of Van Buren's, yet finding, now, that
Calhoun has the ascendancy in the Senate, and
that his vote saved Amos Kendall he has been
proclaimed, through the columns of Duff
Green's Telegraph, Calhoun man. We shall !
soon see whether the Senate still retain any
portion of character for consistency or not II !
is said that Noah's principal argument for re. (
consideration of his case u.s. that having con-
frsned infamous a nomination that of
Amos Kendall, there is no apology for rejecting
him. His argument has much force in it.
APPOINTMENTS AND DIsAPPoINrMENTs. A I
few more of the appointments made by Gen.
Jackson during the recess of the Senate, have
been acted upon, and two Of them, being the
only Objectionable cases called up, were re-
jected. The first was the case of Samuel Nc
Roberts, to be District Attorney for Illinois. in
place Of a valuable and meritorious officer who
was removed. The other rejected nomination,
was that Of Wharton Rector, as Indian Agent
There are many more, whom, it is supposed,
will share the same fate. More proofs these,

IMPOSITION. Pedlers are now swarming
abroad with silver ware and jewelry finished to
appear equal to the best kind and yet of SO base
quality as to be Of little value. Many are i'm
posed upon with such articles, particularly
spoons and spcctacles, which are alleged so
much that they can be afforded at less price
than the bare unwrought silver of the same
weight would cost if made pure A pedler sold
large quantity of such spoons in this place a.
short time since, both to traders and private
families. But the fraud was soon detected, and
the peder was glad to escape prosecution by
refunding the money and receiving his articles
back again: This he was allowed to do on sat-
isfying those concerned, Of his innocence, and
that he bought the articles ofthe manufacturer
supPosng them to be good They contained
third part or moro of copper. The jewelry
carried ov the pedlers is of copper, covered with
thin plate of gold, and is Of no value. We
understand that many country Traders have hann
