stated IN a former letter, that The En,tor ~.
Enquirer was entitled to rank with certain p, IT,,
piers OF Gulliverian celebrity, AS was cyiden .
all who saw him. Upon reflection [ doubt If mia
mere personal appearance would he sufficient TO
justify that conclusion, although his aspect i, emf.
nently philosophical But " hen the structure of
his mind is considered, and the analogy OF bis pur-
suits is recognized, his claim to thar d!s,iHc ior
can be no longer doubted. For surely thors is as
much merit in rendering the stcrcorlceous pcrtion
OF human attributes useful to mankind, as in M
king the Same loaf of bread noursl the human
body twenty times If the cheap and rl",it
full qualities stupidity and villainy can hc sObs:'n.

Office has done his utmost to make Ia. * g.
fair one, and from his long and intimate .quAn-
lance with the qualities in question: HIS been sup.

You remember doubtless, the Baboon we had so
much di.hcuity in placing on horseback, when we
were boys,and who was so unwilling to dsmount,
after he NADIA taste Of riding When i ftsr saw
the President (the resemblance is ostrong,) was
almost tempted to believe syn our old aequainf-
ance translated by accident to Where is
great similarity too, in their characters, Both un-
willing at first TO ride-Jackson asked if they
deiieued him such damned fool as ~ think
himself fG Yet both once seated, to be disnount-
cd only by force. Both too, emnently initiative.
Jackson has lately shewn that quality in a high de-
gree in his Veto Message. 1t is all the rage here,
you must know, to treat subjects conslitutoualiy,
and glorious is the man WHO can make thing APP
pear unconstitutional, that dreamed
before. He resolved to follow the fashion,
without understanding the meaning of tho word,
for he says in his Message, he rejects the Bank
Bill unconstitutional, but would cheeriully have
furnished the proiet of one, had Congress applied
to him. Now, if the Constitution has not granted
power to establish Bank, surely any scheme s
unconstitutional, come from what it may.
Some people think he regards unconstitutional and
disrespectful synonymous terms, and that he We.
| toed tho Bank Bill, because he thought there was
not proper respect paid to him, by asking him to
frame the scheme. The idea is plausible, but i
think there is too much refinement in it for him;
and that 1T was more probable he was fascinated
with the sound and fashion of the word. AS George
the 3d. i'll of his mad fits, swore he would havo
the word Pedcocks in his Message to Parliament 10
the great CONSERVATION Of the Minister whose Su.

take no part i'll the controversies Of this
try out merely state facts as thoy are and Indeed
am half inclined to think with Byron,

"This world doubt if doubt itself be doubling"
BY the way, should not be at all surprised to sec
in the Enquirer, a long essny from able pen.
to prove there is such thing doubt in doub
ing.-Oh! such essays as they write in this land
They can make half an idea five dense

read one of them through For my own part,
when take up the Enquirer, and find one of It's
vast pages closely printed with production f-~.
