speaks Of the President as saying shat he
should leave no child behind to wear bis hon.
ors, or suffer his ignominy: that he buried at
the Hermitage, the last worldly object that
was dear TO him; that henceiorth, he had
nothing to live for but God and country, aud
his abiliiy.n
How molincollyl Truly we have not seen
better cantng. Are Eaton and Lewis, Ken
aali and Houston then, so indifferent TO the
Hero' Did he bury all on Mount Pisgah?
ffas rewarding his tools, and pnnishiDg his
enemies, ceased to be dear?-Ukig.

G-The Pennsylvania Inquirer saws that a
paper IS IN circulation in that State, for the
signatures OF those who tcere jackson men,
Out are SO no longer, ayowing the resolution
oil abandoning jackson and his adminissra-
uon; that this paper is to be published on the
4th OF july, and that from Report (discredit.
ed by the Enquirer, which is Jackson Van
Buren,) IT already contains 400 names.
Ihis we hail as the most encouraging petit
cal maniiests ton which has for a long time
reached US. That the deepest Dissatisfaction
prevails in Pennsylvania; that sixteen of her
Representatives are NAL content; that the
leaders are ripe for change, and anxious 10
escape from, the false position in which
Jacksonism has SO long retained Pennsylva.
MIA, Is unquestionable. Both there and in
New York, it is not perhaps going too far TO
say, that a union OF the dissatisfied is only
wanting to produce a great Revolution ia
the Government. -
More Jachsonism,- Ga Friday last another
outrage was committed at the capitol. A
member OF Congress named PLUMMER, a
Jacksonman from Mississippi. attended by a
body guard OF whole hos men, after laying
IN wait Tor sometime, stopped Mr.. SLApE, a
member OF Congress from Vermont. IN the
entrance of the Hall ofRcpresentativ IS. and
sptt ~ ms jdce, at the same time grasping his
dirk in his hand, and having a pair OF pistols
IN his pockcts!i MIR. SLApE being a Quaker,
and of course a non combatant, turned upon
his heel and walked off. We make no com
menis. These things are the necessary re-
suit OF the course Of the President of the u.
States, aided and abetted by Congress, in
the Houston aiiair.-Ierch Light.

We understand that MIR. Arnold, the 9th
er day, entered the Hall Of the House of Re
representatives., and on approaching his desk,
took out a pair of large pistols aud delibe
rately laid them upon his desk. We admire
the resolute character of Mr.. a. He seems
determined to fight the Presidents %ruffians
in their own way and with their own wea
pons-Uid. -
Judge breckenridge &. Ritchic.-We have
been appealed 10 by Judge Breckenridge OF
Florida, 20 admit his reply to a personal at
tack made upon him edilorially, in the I'm
quirer. As the Judge was the assailed, as
his defence is excluded from the paper in
which the assault was made upon bun, and
as this paper gives his reply the opportunity
OF being seen by those who saw the attack,
no apology is due for publishing ii. on the
contrary, The pnblicati is due TO the liberty
OF the Press.-Uhi
From the Constitutional Whig.
10 Thomas Richie, Editor Of the Richmond
Enquirer.
You have Lately inserted a paragraph in
your paper, no doubt, with a view OF seeing
1t transferred to the columns Of the .sGiobe,'
Rejecting upon me for calling the President
of the United States to account, for a fragrant
abuse of his power, and for a disregard Of
his word Of honor. Few persons of ANY par
ty, have been found to excuse, or %justiiy his
conduct on that transactions; but | was aware
that II one could be found so base, it would
be the Editor Of the Richmond Enquirer. II
General Jackson were TO do an act of out
rage and injustice, Of so glazing a character,
as 10 cause the whole American people 10 OK
claim with horror, the consistent. independent
and honest Editor of the Enquirer, would
step forth to defend him with his single 0oice
And yet is il not true, Mr.. Richie, that you
denounced General jackson, and declared
that his election scouid be q curse to the coun
try? As you will not deny this, | will give
you a piece of information, which will no
doubt be acceptable, as it will show, that
General jackson, at that time, more than re
cirrocated your sentiments. l have often
heard him use these emphatic words, for he
was fond OF giving emphasis to bis expires
sions-"Ritchie is the greatest scoundrel in
America" and in one of his letters, he uses
the following language, which deserves to be
engrayen on brass-'i see that I ar attack
''ed in Congress by Cooke, Whitman, and
civilians, AIDED BY TIA INFAMOUS pREss,
"THE RIcHMoHD EEaUIRER. Ii such a cor
s'rupt press, as the Richmond Enquirer, we're
''to appreciate my conduct, | should think, in
"some unguarded moment, | had committed
"'some great moral improperly"
AT that time, you and Gen. Jackson ap-
pear to lave known each other perfectly; and
| fear il will be said with too much truth, that
what you have since mutually gained in po-
likeness, you have lost in Jrankness and sin
certify You Mr.. Richie, in particular, de
serve a STATUE for the memorable saying I
have quoted, and TO increase the honor, il
should have ttco faces, so that it might equal
in dignifying Que Of the most celebrated of
the heather deitles.
