"BORN TO COMMAND"

Such is the descriptive language applied by the
vassals of the Paace-tho Globe, the Presidents
mouth iccc-to Cen Jackson. "Born to Com
mand" Legitimacy never assumed for Princes u
more unearthly basis for their authority, nnr Di-
vine right insuted the rights and dignity OF hu-
man nature. by the annunciation of more slavsh
doctrine. 1t is barely possible that tho Doors of
Russia and the aposiolicas of Spain and Portugal,
might subscribe to il; but there is not another ma
ton in Europe, from the Pillars of Hercules to the
White Sea, Which would moi reject it with scorn!
During tho era of passive obedience and nou-rc-
sistance, which ceased i'll England i'll 1912 and in
France in 1899, it the belief Of mankind, that,
in the language of Rumbold, was ''born
to commando" booted and spurred, and the rest of
the world ''born" with saddles their backs for
him to ride. The "Kitchen" Cabinet have opened
the graves of Charles L. and Lewis XVI.
"Born to command" sayest thou! Now, tho CO.
Rotary that is, that We the PeOpLr, were born to
obey! Tho deduction follows the premise, in most
strict ana logical severity. 1t cannot be denied,
evaded. If the Hero was "born" to command, the
American People were ''horn" TO be commanded.
1t is far from being perfect extenuation of the
ndignity, that it was, very possibly, slip of the
pen; that the slave who wrote the sentence, though
himself most aptly fitted by the sentiment, did not
mean to predicate that Jackson "born" to be
master OF this People. 1t is not perfect extcnua-
lion because the insult has goue forth, gone forth
10 Europe md the world, in the Court Gazette,
the official organ OF the Presidents private feelings
well as his public acts.
Such slips, If slip it was, are neither to be excused
on the score of ignorance negligence. sla.
yshness There is but way of answering and
rcpelling it.

We believe the letter referred to in the following
extract from the Globe was republishcd by us, and
rs an act of duty, publish the declaration Of its
being forgery. 1t is much to be depOred that
any man of any political party, should be base
enough to resort to such cxpcdients. Political en-
nifty is sufficiently cnvcnonied without the use of
poisoned weapons. We hope the knavc who
would be guilty of such crime, may he detected
and held up to the scorn of the nation.
From the Globe of yesterday.
THE FORGED LETTER.
Wehave received several letters making enquiries
with regard to the authenticity of the letter the
sions, imputed to the President. We have not
had it in our power to speak upon this subject I'M
TIL now that the President has returned, upon any
other authority iian the reported disavowal of the
I':atd OF Commissioners, with regard to having
ceivcd such letter. We authorised to de-
clare, in the most positive manner, that the Presi
dent did not write the letter in question; and VIC
also assert, that the disparaging sentiment with re-
gard to Missionaries generally is unjusty i'm
puted to him as the writing of the letter itself.
The President never believed that Mission RIGS
were "apt to make themselves obnoxious TO those
among ,ohom they pere iocated"-on the contrary,
we have heard him often express the opinion tina
for the most part, they have obtanad a great in
sent to enlghtcn, which has always proved salu-
tary when confined to the objects Of their religious
calling, as the ambas sailors of Christ.

OHIO ELECTION.


Our latest dates from Cincinnati aud Chilicothe
the 18th instant Tue returns of the late elect
ion are very incomplete, and utterly at u
loss fiom them to come to any conclusion to the
result. The Globe is. however, very specific in its
declarations Of the election Of the jackson candi.
d.to for Governor and eleven members of Congress,
of nineteen to which the State is entitled The
opposition papers receive, either silent upon
the matter or surrender the election. From all
which it is fair to infer that the Jackson party has
prevailed. We have, however, gained something
IN the elections for members of Congress, by
the statement Of the Globe. In tho last cleo ton
the Jackson party had all but four of the members
returned. In the present election the National Re-
publican party has carried eight of it's candidates.
rs it would seem from present appearances. The
whole election is, however, yet undecided. We
shall lay before readers the earliest authentic
information.

From the National InfelLirencer.

Mr.. Wickffe, of Kentucky, for several years a
leading supporter of Jacksonism in ongrcss. has.
as an honest man a. 4 patriot, renounccd the cause
of Gen. Jackson, rather than abandon the best in
teres,s of his country which he put in jco-
pardy by the reckless of the Administration.
MIR Wickitfe is of course assaicd with the great
est vrulence by all the stipendiary press y, from
Kentucky TO Washington, and, as the readicst way
ofaccountng for his change, 81 blackening his mo-
tivcs he is openly accused OF having been bribed by
the Bank This is the cuckoo allegation against
ry prominent citizen who feels himself constrained,
by love of country, renounce the Of Gen
Jackson. 1t is summary mode, certainly, & if the
cases were confined to few individuals, it would he
supported, by shadow of proof But setting aside
the infamy of the supposition, the assigned
IL inadequate to the effect The means of the
Bank insufficient. Will the venal crew pre-
tend that the Bank has bribed fifty Thousand yeo-
men in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jer-
sey? Has il bribcd Gov. Wolf (for lie is with

William Russell, of Ohio-or General Ashley,
of Missouri-or Gen. Duncan, of Illinois? Has
1T bribed all these vrtuOus citizens, and hundred
others equally pure? 1t has been we'll observed by
talented contemporary that James Madison signed
the charter of the Bank, and the question asked,
he bought? Louis M'Lane, General Jack

renewal of the charter. Was he bought? Gener-
