TIE JACKSON PRESS.


| The following correct delineation of the subser
vicncy and sycophamcy of the newspapers devoted
to Jackson, throughout the country, Is copied from
! the Lou:svIli3 journal. Livery impartial citizen
/ who has gwen tie least attention 10 the cours,
pursued by The ''subsdzcd presses since the Gle
vation of Jackson, VIII at once pronounce this q
'Lruc bl'
1.-The practical effects of this universal system
OF bribery and constrant, are fully Illustrated in Tx
conduct OF the administration presses, every weeA
and every day. Their conductors dare not tn nix df
ierentIy from the President i'll the slightest purt
cular. To think for themselves is the unpardona.
BILE SIN, Tor which they would BIO cast into outer
darkness. Their greqt leader, the head and front
the beginning and end of their party, the. cditor
OF the government press, has called upon all his
subscribers to leave him and invoke all political
evils upon his head, if ever he should desert the
PRESIDENT. No matter what the old dignitary NAV
DO no matter If he seek to keep power for ii t.,
transform his Presidential Chair into throne a nd
appoint Mrs Eaton bis successor, the Editor of the
Giobc Is still pledged to him, pain of being ac-
cursed. "A Tennessee Editor who is governed by a
similar principle, says, et General Jackson do what
lie may, we shall be satisfied that he intends it for
the good OF the country, and shall not therefore
complain The same spirit pcrvades the whole
faction. Docs the president dcnouncc the priuci
PIE OF appointing members. Of Congress to Office?
n huge tribe OF expenditures instantly proclaim
that 1t is. the source OF all corruption Does he
afterwards give more appointments to members of
congress Than were ever known during all ure
cedIng Administrations He is RESTORING the 90
vcrh'n@nt to all its original purity. Does he as
scrt that president should be kegt In office t,or
Than four years, and give pledges that he him,
sell, ii elected, VIII set the example for his suc
cessors OF voluntarily retiring at the end of that
pcriod!-ile is the model OF d:sintcrcsfed pairint
tisn' Docs he, after getting fairly established in
ofco, announce himself candidate for election
and oppose every effort TO limit the prcsidcu
tIai tenure TO u single tenn lie is tue, great
est patriot since the days of Washington.
Does lie make solemn promise In tho
legislature of state that he will. in
the capacity of chief magistrate sustain internal
improvements according to the system established
by his predecessors! Ills notions are those of q
most enlightened statesman. Does lie chanre his
notions, and earnestly recommend the abolition Of
internal improvements by the general government
altogether! Surely such wisdom was never heard
of before. Do Of his friends propapate y
belief, that his influence has procured frcm Con
grcss an appropriation for constructing particu-
lar turnpikcI Tic is advancing the prosperity of
the country with unparalleled rapidity Does no
put his veto upon the appropriation the moment
the bill Is presented to blml He is sayiur tho
country from swift destruction. Does he saw. in
d public message, that the patronage of the govern
mcht ought not 10 be brought into conflict with the
freedom of clCcsiO1l A-Daniel has come TO iudr
mont. Does he subsequently seek 10 control ali
the elections ~ the Union by the distribution of
Tho peoples money! n greater than the pro-
Phct IS here. Does no say, shat Whenever pub
lie officers shall be removed to create vaca1.
cies for Partlzans, tho republic will be near its
iaiR TrutlT--overy word truth. Does he TO orat. |
iy his followers, prescribe every officer that IS
opposed to BIN, from the highest TO the lowest? |
IL v oud be the grosScst folly and madness to do
otherwise. Docs he, to day, raise an individual
10 a situation of high trustl That individual is |
a democrat, worthy the confidence of every honest
citizen. Does be, tomorrow, kick him on! t.
