GEN. Jackson NO LONGER JACKSON
MAN.-Mr. Crockett remarked in the
House of Representatives, in debate
on the Gath ult. that 'he was a Jackson
man still but General Jackson was not,
for that the General had left the princi-

he is off from his principles, am Of from
him This, we have no doubt, is the
feeling of vast body ofhonest Jackson

A Jackson paper in South Carolina,
the Camden Journal says: "The u. S.
Post Office Department. as at present
conducted, is an abomination, and there
is no use in mincing the matter. We
don't know but MIR. Barry is the best
Post Master General to be found any
where in the civilized world. We do not
ndertake to say that he is not one of the
most attentive and business-likc men up
on the face of the globe; but this we do
know, & this we 40 say the u. S. Mails
may as well be given up, and the whole
establishment abandoned as bad bar
gam, unless some Improvement takes
place"
The n. Y. Post says "thc tone Of our
newspapers is growing more decent in
some respects. Editors begin to per-
ceiyc that attacks on each others pri-
vate character do not affect the questions
they espouse, and are not cared for by
the public" Still, gross personalities
arc INDUCED in too often.
