SENATOR PorNDExrER. This ge ntleman
was formerly one of the warmest frieotIs Of
Gen. Jackson he defended him in the Sem
mole affair with great power, and was a
strenuous advocate for his election to the
Presidency was elected to the Sen ate last
year rs Jackson man by the Leg Islatnre
of Mississippi. In the Senate he Fl 1T it his
duty to oppose some of the Preside nt's ap-
pointments. This has brought the denun-
citation of the Globe upon him, and the of
fee holders IN Mississippi, under instluc-
tlons from Washington, have held meetings
to disapprove his conduct in votin 2 against
Van Buren,, &c. This has made it necessary
for Mr.. PoindeXter to address his constitu-
ents in defence of his conduct, which he has
done in The Mississippi Patriot. We have
room for only few sentences
1T is evident that Gen. Jackson is fast
declining both in body and mind and am
persuaded that his own fame, if not the
good of the country, ought to admonish
him to retire at the end Of his present term
of service.
"This course am inclined to believe he
would have adopted, hut for his known So
licitude to introduce Martin Van Buren, in.
20 the Presidential chair as his successor
To this end, all his efforts for some time
past have been directed and he now suffers
lis name TO he placed before the American
People for reelection, under the belief that
before the expiration of another term, the
public mind can he prepared to sanction
the pretensons of this .Ntio York intriguer,
to the first office in the gift of the peonle.
Strong exertions will he made 10 place him
OH the jackson ticket as Vice President ::
calculating on the known popularity of Gen.
ackson to sustain him, and in the event of
his success, on his becoming President, by
some casualty which may create IL vacancy
in That ofii'e, and ,levolve the trust on the
Vice President under the constitutions! pro-
visions on that subject. This is the plan :;
and il remains to be seen whether the peo-
pie of the South will fasten this curse on
to crafty the within of man,
whom they have heretofore delighted to
honor, hut whose mind is enfeebIed by age
and debility, and who lends himself to
combination of the most unprincipled men,
who have ever aspired to control the desti-
MES of the nation. These are my candid
opinions Of The present state of things, and
| offer them to the serious consideration Of
my fellow citizens"
YET ANOTHER. AND ANOTHER. The
Globe Government paper has denounced
Mr.. Senator Moore from Alabama, ever since
he voted against Van Buren,. 1t now has
come out against Mr. Senator Bibb of Ken
lucky, for admitting that had he been pres
ent he should have voted for the rejection
of Van Buren,. II was understood ,bat Mr..
Blbb "pared" Off with Mr.. Prentiss of VT,
who was sick, and that had both been pres
ent their votes would have balanced each
other. 1t now appears that if they had been
present, there would have been two MAORI
" against Van. The Globe says matters
were arranged so as to mike Mr.. Calhoun
give the casting vote. The Jackson party
WIN dwndle rapidly in the South and West
" the keepers Of the President permit the
Official paper to denonnce oil who do not
adopt Van Buren, rs the "beir apparent
augusta Journal.
