The monstrositics of Jacksonism beyond the
conceptions of any man, who does not closely fol-
low and observe the course of events. For our
selves, we are astonshcd at nothing which is con
ccived in a brain compounded of passion and fatui.
~. we learnt but few days ago, by letter
written by Mr. Troup, that the decision of the SUI
prcmc Court of the United States in the case of
the Missionaries against Georgia, was understood
by the President of the United States TO be n poL
neal blow aimed at him personally. This is seized
upon with avidity as the cue and the changes will
probably be rung upon it from end of the Uni
on TO the other. Already have the bloo,l-hounds
Of party opened on the scent, and the Supreme
Court ofthc United Statcs-a tribunal as august
us free from the imputaton of party bias or impro
per motive of any description, as any tribunal
which ever had existence under the sun,--is TO he
hunted down, and inundated on the all.proscribnu
altar OF Jacksonism. We do not mean to speak
mere OF the correctness of, or error in, the opinion
OF the Court: on that subject men may differ, and
honestly diiier-wc shall not be guilty of the pre-
sumption of thinking that our opinion on this
point, could by possibility, add the slightest weight
to the reasoning of such a man as Chief Justice
Marshall, upon Il subject which has been the study
of his lifc-but we do not belicvc-wc cannot
that there exists one man in this country, possess
ed of ordinary underst standing, and ordinary inform
alton, so utterly destitute of all honesty himself
as to suspect the uprghtncss of the Judges of the
Supreme Court in their judicial dccisions:-yet
there are men venal enough-slaves enough to
party, ready and willing TO lend their aid in delu-
ding the ignorant and weak -minded--though the
consequence may, and most likely will be, the de-
struction of public confidence in that tribunal
and as that is the only support it has, the consc-
quent destruction of the tribunal itself. And for
what? With the great mass, the sole object will be
to secure the reelection of the President of the
United States, which it is supposed may be endan-
gered, by the decision he will be compelled to
makc--and tho choice of evils this decision NAV
entail upon him; but with the designing few there
is an Interior and far deeper design Put down
the Supreme Court, and State Rights, to the
extent of the glorious Old Confcderation-whcn
each State did that which right in its own eyes
become triumphant--wc escape yankee misrule,
and the minority, in which the South most unfor
tunatey is, and is destined be, for some time to
come, will no longer be subject to the odious and
unjust control of a majority. The doctrine of
Notification will be practised upon by every State
in the Union in turn, and then comes civil war
and blood.shed ad nfntum

From the Baltimore Chronicle Of Tucsday.

The United States Telegraph Of yesterday con
tains the promised exposition of 'sthe most stupcn
dous pecunary fraud that was ever attempted TO bo
practsed on the American people" We cannot
publish the exposition entire, but shall give such
portions of it tomorrow will possess our readers
of the whole facts of the case. In the mean time
we will state, that it appears, that Major Eaton
and General Houston, with the saction of the
President, had combined to make a contract for
furnishing rations to the Indians, who were to he
removed under what is known by the name of the
Indian bill, at a rate per ration that would have
enabled the contractors to detraud the country of
nearly million of dollars. Major Eaton commu
nicatcd the terms of the contract to General Green
who Immediately demonstrated against the pro-
ceedng, and promptly informed the President of
the intended speculation. But General Jackson
became highly excited at his interference, and said
that the proposed contract would be sanctioned l,
further appears, that other bidders were ,iscounte
nanced, or attempted to be brbed from their pur
pose, and that although proposals were offered at
one half of the amount fixed on by Messrs Eaton
and Houston, they were not accepted
We think that this, and other matters contained
IN General Green's exposition, deserve the attention
of Congress.

WAsH1SeroN, April 8, 1882.
I am authorized to say that Pennsylvania is
almost repudiated by the Powers at Washing
ton. Her perverseness in relation to the Vice
Presidency has called down upon her the high
dispIeasure of LIE Wis. Kendall, &c. and the Exc
cutive Bull of accommodation IS shortly to be
issued from the vatican of "the party" This
is but rumor yet, therefore cannot vouch Tor the
Presidents determination in the matter; but
this | know, there is much dissatisfaction mani
tested BY his hick.aad-thin friends. to the mea.
sures adopted by the Harrisburg Convention of the
9TH ut. and in free expression on the subject,
the retainers of the White House extend their de-
ANNEXATION to the whole state, including her re-
presentation in Congress. They complain that
the administration has received but feeble sup
port from Pennsylvania since the accession OF
Gen. Jackson, and that even that has been with
drawn since the disruption OF the cabinet. The
Globe has not been patronlzed by the German
farmers, it is said, and the delegation Of the
State have opposed the favorte measures Of the
President.
The nomination of Mr. Van Buren, as Vice
President is at present his favorite measure, and
the Key.State has presumed to disregard It;
hence the open denunciatlOn OF all her d'stin-
guished citizens, who NAV be suspected Of urg-
Ing nomination at Harrisburg,-hence too the
insduous abuse Of Sutherland, Mexican, &C.
By the bye, if Mr.. Sutherland have the influence
ascribed to him by the ''Enquirers' and ether
papers of the same stamp, he is emphatically
man Of the people in his own State, and is destin-
ed for the highest honors in the gift Of that peo-
pIe The party, Of which he is now the accre.
dited head, Is confessedIy the great republican
party of Pennsylvania, and it holds in its hands
the fate of the administration at Washington
Let VIM B. Lewis and his associates beware
how they rouse the slumbering indignation Of the
friends of SutherIand;- let them be wary in their
movements against Coulter, MuhIenburg, Nc
Kinnan. and others of the lower House, or they
NAV find occasion to exclaim-" Save us from
our iriends.''

He raised his face to mine the ex-

The fear and certainty of immediate
death had changed the whole man.
That abject look Of deep despair can
never be forgotten, though it may not
be described. His gaze fell upon the
bodies of my wife and child.

to amuse me by the most moDstrous and
absurd statementes. One of his tales
