He is formed fur action. and for ar. bitrary command; qualities which are the opposite of those which fit him even for the exercise of civil authority, under our mild and peaceful institutions.
 In this country, the President is but the prime minister of the naton--not a pageant, not King, who can do no wrong and he should therefore be the first statesman in it. But would it not excite smile for any prior administration to have called upon General Jackson to perform the duties of Secretary Of State, 10 draw up dcspatches, conduct di- plomatic correspondence. and to make learn ed reports on various subjects!
