will show that there is nothing connected with it
to which the gentleman who is the subject OF these
remarks can look back hereafter with pleasure
We pretend not to attribute improper motives,
or hint at Interior considerations, to which the
uncharitabe might be disposed to allude. We
are not the enemies of Judge Barbour in any
sense, and though we never professed to support
him politically. we have never hesita,ed to do
him justice IN every Particular. Our remarks
must not therefore be taken 10 spirit of unkind-
ness. We consider that he has acted most i'm
properly, and We do not hesitate to say so. We
believe that he has politically ruined himself, and
We think il right to tell him SO. We look upon
his course as unjust in the highest degree to.
wards his friends; and the press, in such case,
ought to declare the fact.

F., From the Utica Sentinel Extra, we learn
that an Anti-Jackson meeting, most numerous
and respectable, was held at the Court House in

Gent supported Of Jackson, presided. General

The Editor Of the Washington Telegraph says:
"We have contracted for press, capable of
prn,in. sheet twice the size Of our daily paper,
| and have engaged a sufficient number of COmpe-
tent reporters to enable to give the entire de-
bates in each House. The reporters will relieve
each other at short intervals-the speeches will
be written out as delivered, and Immediately
handed over to the compostor; so that each
speech will be in type in a few minutes after it
shall be delivered"
Preparations are making already at the Capt.
tol for the meeting Of Congress next month
The Mac Adamizins Of the Avenue goes on ra-
pidy, and the workmeu are busy at the Potomac
Bridge. -
In times Of high party excitement, unjustitia'
bic means to produce certain ends are resorted to
BY interested par.zans Of all sides. The motto
that "all is fair in politics" comes, then. into
daily use, and is often appealed to. Good c''l-
Gems shouId reprobate such doctrine whenever
used. We would rather fail in a good cause.
fairly and honorably supported, than succeed i"
bad one with wicked appliances and means
TO boot" The tricks. jugglery. corruption and
over-reaching Of party are disgusting in the high
est degree. Political baseness and knavery are
so common. that they do not meet with that uni
yersal execration which they deserve.
We find a note upon our table. requesting in
formation as to the - Hickory Club' in Wash.
ington. and asking US to GaeeHe the assoc iaton.
We have no inclination, we can assure ouc cor
respondent, to .'meddle or make" with any such
concern. From all we can hear, however. we
can inform him that the a. Club" appears to be
the rickety bantling of the Kitchen Cabinet. Its
President is an office holder, as are the most o.
the members, among whom we see the names OF
the Req. Strother Evans and the Rev. Jno. Robb
par mobile )ratrum. Amos Kendall Is the wrl
ter of the Addresses, &C., and no doubt the d'
facio Chief Of the Club. Many OF the clerks IN
the public Offices are attached to the affair, WHIT
ought to be ashamed of themselves, and who de-
serve, if we should be so lucky as to get rid o.
Old Hickory, to lose their Offices tor their med
ding interference. The object of the Club Is t.
circulate Extra Globes, and do "ther such inter
esting business in furthcrance Of General Jack
sons election.
The Cincinnati Journal gives list of l96 per

IN New-York, at its worst stage.
