the duty OF the President to order on, the Mi.
iitia to support him. We shall deeply de-
plore such collision between State AMI the
Cnited States; but if Georgia cannot be
checked IN her mad career in any other way.
the President must not shrink rem the dis
charge Of his duty. The voice OF the people

In almost all the reputable journals which
have noticed the asthcrisea declaration Of Sse-
neral Jackson that ne is candidate fer re-
election, the statement has been aceompapi-
ell by expressions, participating equally in
surprise aud Indignation. Even among the
pohticaI friends OF the Executive, such as felt
csnidence IN the purity of his ambition. and
TIE lofty character Of bis independence, have
isand II impossible 10 justify SO fragrant de-
parture IN practice froa all the excellent the.
nes which may be eulled frsm his written s.
oral declarations. Ii, in bis opinion, il be
wroag IN prlciple to re-elect Presidsnt, in
consequence OF The strong indueement which
is thus offered to the incumbent 10 apply the
public patronage to the Strengthening Of his
personal aad political interests, instead of
directing 1t SO as to produce benefit 10 the
people; how can 1t be right 10 practice for

running into every species of immortality. ~
coantenance such iBcoRsistcGcy on the part
OF General Jackson, by re electing him, would
be an act Of national degradation, of which
we cannot believe the people will be guilty
Ii he will not respect his own character, the
people ought at least to respect theirs; and
they can only exhibit proper respect for
themselves by sustaining the consistency OF
General Jackson, in eppo.iton TO bis wishes,
by refusing to re.elect him In the calm
hour of reflection, in the solitary evening OF
life, when the influence of ambition shallhayc
abated within him, and he say begin 10 ba
lance the account between his inlirmities and
bis virtues, he viii thank the people for 40
act Which will lessen the Number Of lnisdeeds
fits of his life coming up to an equality with
the mischiefs which his example may have
induced. - MAJ, Journal, Feb. I.
II is worthy Of notice, that a deputy Shsr-
iT while collecting taxes, 10 the lower part Of
the County, during the last week, called at
more than $50 houses, and the betlle was
set out al only to,y. At t,eo others, he was
asked if he would have something TO drink
without sitting it out; one of tie persons re-
marking, that there was SO little drlaklng
now days, that he seldom though, it worth
while TO offer it. During such ride, three
years ago, We may safely say, the bottle
would have been set eut at great ma jority
Of the houses - Idrth Light.
