" JACKSON AND CLAY.
While the papers are teeming with accounts
Of explosions at Washington, and with details
of the disgr0ceful causes of these disgracefui
effects-while the people see and confess the
weakness of the President, and that change
of cabinet 10 but placing the leading strings in
other hands-while these matters are before
the people, how stands the chance Of a, change?
What are the hopes that the visitation thus
signaIly manifested and painfully felt, will be
withdrawn, and our citizens allowed to con-
template their country, as in the vgOr oil youth.
prosperous, happy, respectable, and respected?
The hope lies 10 the belief, that the errors Of
the present administration, are manifest, and
the means Of correcting them are obvious to
alt. Pennsylvania was early and loud in the
cause of General Jackson--her citizens ac-
knowledge the democratic doctrine, that Off
ces oftrust and profit are not instituted to re-
ward active, noisy partizsDs, and 10 secure the
means of perpstuating the rule Ofthe dispOser

sity of committing the destiny Of the country

independence-he citizens are advocates for
that policy that protects the manufactures Of
the state, and secures market to her agricul-
tural ?roduce-her citizens have professed an
attachment to the Bank ofthe United States.
But the attachments Of such a state as this
cannot be to persons in Opposition to princi.
pie and while General Jackson has made use
of his power Of appointments to reward noisy
partizans, even when the Senate Of the Unit
ed States have unanimously declared those
persons undeserving public confidence, it il
. known that HENRY CLAY, while Secretary OIL
State, forbade the customary changes, and LEFT
. public patronage in the hands Of political OPP
pOnents, whenever a fulfilment Of contract
was evident.
General Jackson has manifested weak
: ness. to say the least, in the arrangement o.
business, and the selection Of confdants, thai
