PUBLIC SENTIMENT

on IN public sentiment in all parts of the
Union, but, more especially, in the States of
New York and Pennsylvania, accumulate
so fast on our hands that the attempt to lay
them all before our readers would be vain
one. We shall therefore content ourselves
with selecting, from time to time, such ac-
counts of the desertions from Jacksonism,
as will be most interesting, and as will best
indicate the progressive change. The COM
ing over of several leading aud influential
jackson papers has already been announc-
ed. We now put on record the following

more salt sugar. and molasses than the man who

pay other peoples debts fthey furnish him with the
funds, and we are not so ignorant as not to know
that the means were appropriated to pay off the
national debt long before the Lion and his lack

ascertain how much money stuck by the way how
much has been lavished upon iavorites how much
has been spent for patronage, and how stands
the account current of the administration of re-
form, in comparison with that of corruption and
intrigue
" If the President has erred in the distribution
of cffce,' we have never found fault with him on
that account, because he could not know the per-
sona character of every man. and necessarily Ieli-
ed upon the information of his constitutional adj

dupe or instrument Of the cunning AID artful men
who surrounded him, and that, with seeming in
dependence, he exhibited only aturgid stubborn.

abandoned the great principles upon which he was
originally sustained. We therefore feel justified
in abandoning him."

Gen. Duncan, the member Of Congress from H.
