Bucks COUNTY, July 9.
Gentlemen: The partizans of Andrew Jackson
have assumed terms and titles to their followers
and assoc iations which at times have somewhat
puzzled me, and which you or your correspondent
can perhaps explain. For example, They desig-
nate themselves jackson Democrats" Now,
please inform the world, whether there is a new
species of Democracy recently discovered of a
quality superior to all other democracy hitherto
known or heard of. However, perhaps it may be
that this species of democracy is of more refined
KIND than all former common democracy. 1t
may be that, like the progress in chemistry, the
essences only of substances are now BEGINNING to
be adopted and used in politics; citing the gross
or parts. This, extract of morphea, and quinine
the spirit and only useful parts of two leading
articles of the materia medica may be in phvsic
what "Jacksonism" or jackson Democracy is in
politics ] had, reflection, almost come to this
conclusion, but the large dose recently intended to
have been administered at Washington of "Jack,
son Democracy" thro' tho instrumentality of Ea-
toms pills and Dr. Randolphs drops, caused me to
suppose had made misrepresentation of the terms
and the subject, or perhaps their operations were
only the caPut mogtnUm of the real jackson De-
mocracy," while the essence or only virtue and
goodness Of the thing, may nave been hcrmetioal-
~ corRd up and carried off by Mr. Van Buren, for
cafe keeping. Please if you can, saw how this

AS far as the toasts given at the celebrations of
che 4th of July by the original friends of Gen.
jackson have reached us, they indicate any thing
rather than result of the next election auspicoas
TO MS views 1t is true the language of the
does not prescribe him. in round set terms: it does
not go so far as to make explicit declaration of
ms entire uDfitness carry the affairs of the
Government; but it does by inference, implication
cor strong inuendo, express all these sentiments.
we hear his favorites prescribed toast after toast;
we ha1f of bumper after bumper being discharged
TO the damnation of w. B. Lewis, Amos Kendall
&c who are understood to possess the ear of Gen
Jackson and to regulate all his sayings and dongs;
and 1T cannot be de 1ied that this mode of striking
at the President himself is as much as could be ex.
pected from the party which elected him. The fact
lis that the symptoms of the decline of Jacksonism
are increasing around us every hour, and assuming
a more desperate character, at every observation
we make His prospects OF reelection are forev-
er Brighter in theState of Pennsylvania & his parti-
sans in New York begin despair success in ano-
aher attempt to impose him the people. The citi-
zens ofthese States have determined to take the work
of reform in to their hands and begin by ban
fishing the pretended rsformers who promised SO
loudly, and have weakly performed; who, in
stead of finding out and correcting enormous a.
buses have, for the first time introduced them in
to the Administration; and who, instead of sustain
ing the honor and interests of the country, have
compromised the one, and brought the other into
contemplated Journal

The intelligence from every part Of the State in
relation to the approaching election is most cheer

Portance Of concert and action; and with the same
energy activity, and zeal which characterized tho
canvass of 1926, tho battle will be triumphant and
the victory glorious. BY the following extract from

ceived that Jacksonism there is not only on the
wane, but at its last grasp;

The following correspondence has afforded
much amusement hereabouts, and may be equally
enjoyed at a distance. 1t is the general opinion
that he ofthe Telegraph has the Sub Governor on
the hip; and we incline to suspect that our Virgil
mia readers will not think that their acting Exc
|cutlve cuts very gratifying figure. The Rich
mond Enquirer puts in suggestion, that Cover
ner FLOYD has pcrpetrated infraction of the
Constifution, in ordering the obnoxious paper for
the Executive Department, without vote of the
Council; but the Governor iS n great stickler for
limited powers, and is not likely to be convicted
of such fauE pas. 1t is very grave affair, how
ever, aud our eraculsr friend OF Richmond says
