trary, by those who harbor prejudice, or
have taken partial view of the subject, has
never yet been justly appreciated by the COM
munIty. They have themselves, however,
been partially instrumental in producing an
impression adverse TO their proper influence
IN society, by neglecting to avail themselves
OF the benefits Of education, or suPinely sub
nittirg to the DEGREES of demagogues, and
parties, who deluded them for their own spe-
cial benefit; into the vassals Of their power,
and the slaves Of their pleasure. Conssitu-
| ting, as they do, the bone and sinew of the
land-the fountain of our wealth, and the
springs Of our industry-abd forming IN them
selves a majority of the whole population:
they present formidable claims 10 a prompt
consideration of their rights. If they ever
rally in solid body under their own banners,
j they ensure the election of their candidates,
and in time, the success of their principles.
The chief object of their CO operation is Ed
Ucdiioa for their children-the means of ma
/ king themselves wiser and better-and re-
moving from the face Of society the blotches
of intemperance and pauperism. Surely
more laudabie ends could not animate a PEG
[ pie TO ask for the aid and CO operation Of
general society. In their other aims, they
wish not to disturb any Of the settled princi
pies that effect the possession OF property; but
merely to regulate, on the basis OF equity, the
principles which govern its acquisition. A
more equal distribution oil fortune, if obtain.
ed without a violent CONFUSION, would Ger
tainly be desirable. as a means Of greater
virtue, and more diffusiye happiness.-Penn

! A writer in the Richmond Wing, who signs
himself a Resident Of Cupeper,n speaking
OF the late contest between Mr. J. ). Bar
bour and Mr.. Wallace, mas the following sig
niiicant inquiry:
HAS the Globe any knowledge of the in
reference of the President in the Culpeper
election? Does its editor know OF request
made by the President to certain individu
al, TO use all his influence, and spare no ex-
ertions to put down Barbour? | do not ex-
pect that ''the official organ" will "conde
scendn 10 notice these queries, put by an a
nonymous writer;-b but learn that evidence
to sustain the charge is in being; = and per
haps ere long he may find it necessary to
, pay them passing notice"
WHAT IS REAL JACKSONISMe
1t is certain creed proiessed by General
Jackson when a candidate for office, which
torbids him 10 be candidate for re election
to office
Ii forbids him to appoint members Of con
greSs to office. 1t forbids him to use the pat
| roaoge Of his office TO promote his re election
1t torbids him to nominate his successors, or
misuse the power of his office, to force the
| views OF any aspirent, contrary TO the free
| dom Of elections, and in violation OF the pU
rity # suffrage.
1t torbids him to continue men in Office
who had a lie service in them-aad enjoins
| rotation in c0iee.
1t en- ons him to promote internal Improve
meats, and all those healthiul prospects
| which add to the prosperity of the country.
Ii en- Joins lin to protect the domestic nl
dasi'y Of the country, by an adequate tariff.
1t epjoins him to preserve the maion from
treason, notification, and other complots dan
gerous to its peace and fatal to its integrity.
IL enjoins him to speedy retirement TO
the shades OF private life, and thus set an
example Of that rotation in office, which has
preached to others, and which he is bound 10
apply 10 himself.
Real Jacksonism. then, means principles
and is opposed 10 the mere man, who bears
the name OF gdrew jackson.
WHAT Is MOCK JACkSONISM
1t is tue canting creed oil office holders,
who cry 'Give-oh! King!--and live forever!'
Ii means wearing the liuery Of a great man,
and cries-'The King can do no WRONG
"whatever ISIS rigM"
1t quenches ip,es-disregards pledges
violates laws land prostrates the coustitu
ton. 1t is satisfied with the empty name of
a man. 1t loses sight Of its county of Ii
berty-laws-and equal rights and contents
itself with phantom-a name. IL substi
tutes the fralty of human nature for the i'm
mutabty of truth-and the eternal DEGREES
Of justice
Ii deals in coalitions-the purchase Of men
the prostitution Of the press-and the system
of prescribing all who dare remain faithful to
their principles, and abide by their rights.
1t pours SANDER and calumny upon all who
maintain the freedom OF elections, and the
purity OF the ballot box
1t opens the treasury TO all who will dispose
of their rights for ''Diess Of pottage"
