recent Congressional election in Louisiana
between Gen. Thomas the Nat Repub-
Iican, and Gen. Ripley. the jackson candi
date.
Ii was no part Of our design in making the
correction IN question, TO seek TO make "aa
impression upon The public, thai the Editors
svere lending The aid Of their paper 10 support
Gen Jackson in preference 10 the other cGa,di-
dates before The pubic" We should have re-
garded such an undertaking as quite super
fuous, indeed. as offering an insult to the
lowest grade even Of JackSmiism. after the
more than smpit manner in which the Edi-
tors have superseded all necessity for such an
exposition in order to shew which pocket they
were in. Let any one who has sense enough
to butter biscuit, or distinguish LeetctI
from Lizard, examine the severed numbers
of the Republican since the Editors hoisted
at the head ofits Electoral Ticket column, the
"Jackson Republican nomination.
For President,
Andrew Jackson. Of Tenn.
For Vice President,
Martin Van Buren,, of n Y"
until they get through with the following
Editorial moroccan:
ave have omitted much matter selected
for insertion this week, TO make room for the
Presidents Veto to tie United States Bank
bill, ani Journal OF the proceedings of the
Stanton Convention The message of The
President will open the eyes of the people to
this institution. and we inclined to the
belief, that they viii give IT its death blow,
if it has net received IT already"
And after doing so, if they can have any
difficulty in arriving s, schGt the Editors of
the Virginia Republican are, tier protes
tando to the alledged charge of Jacksonism
notwithstanding. why then we shall be free
to confess, that there may be found degree
of obusety of intellect, below the lowest or
der Of nationality with which we have ever
met But the Editors "wish to please all
parties" They will discover sooner or later,
that to do this, is matter rather above their
hooks: especially by the means they employ.
They will find it rather difficult to serve both
God aud mammon, the cause Of truth and
virtue, and that of Jackso,ism. If they can
do so, satisfactorily. they will at least lave
to become more lelicitous in assigning excu-
ses, both iof acts OF commission and omission,
than they have been in the one they have
coucocted for their failure to correct their
misrepresentation in regard 10 the Louisiana
Eicciion-that "the Editor of the Gazt tie
having made the correction, they then con
cluded that il would be unnecessary for them
TO do It" One way, truly, to ''pease both
parties" State a thing TO be so, which in
point Of fact is not so. and the statement and
PRONUNCIATION Of which, was obviously calcu.
lated, if not designed. to produce false i'm
pressions upon the ignorant worshippers Of
Jacksonism, in favor Of the popularity of the
curse, and after discovering the error leave
the correction Of it., to be effected by a known
political opponent
As to the principles feelings and Raotires,
which admit of yielding support or counte
nance to JacksoniSm AS now developed and
made bare, TO the understanding and vision
of common honesty and commen sense, we
leave them to the exercise and enjoyment of
those who can endure them For ourselves,
we trust, whatever else it may please a wise
Providence, il its sometimes inscrutable dis.
pensations, TO reduce as TO, that the reproach
shall never be cast upon our children, that
ace were instrumental in any degree, in our
day and generation, in inflictIng upon our
country and its best institutions, the most
malignant, blghting curse, that ever degrad
ed, debased and enslaved, once respecta-
bic and free people.
AT public meeting held at the Court
House, Lexington, Ky. OF the Gath ult, Col
Combs in the course Of a very eloquent
speech, said:-~"So far as the Bank OF the
United States is concerned, he was not, and
never had been either a stakeholder or direc-

our forty five rag banks and stop laws, with
the great Commonwealth Bank and State
Bank to boot, Kentucky was never so pros
perous-had SO good a medium, nor so much

time, or rather, as we had at the time the
Presidents veto unpn the renewal of the
