JACKSON DEMOCRACY. We heard it dis
tlnctly asserted last week by supporter OF
Jackson of high standing in the purity, that
be fully agreed with the doctrine of the
Veto message, that The President of the
United States is entirely aJoue and inde-
pendent orMe Supreme Court of The United
STATES and Of Congress! Another full
FLOODED Jacksonian declared he "icould hoid
up both handS 10 hare Jackson crotcned
King" We have no doillt that more than
balf Of his supporters would do the same.
Jacksonism may fairly be considered ne sy.
nonymous with deSpoiiSm. What greater
despot can We have than Andrew jackson /?
O. Gen. Jackson in his veto messa pe
declares himself indspsadent boih of Con.
gress and The Supreme Court the Globe
published at Washington declares that
Jackesn was "BORN TO COMMAND !"
and thousands Of his sycophantic worship
pers in all parts Of the country shout aloud
AMEN! This is Jackson democracy.

would stay with her who were worth having.
