The Arkansas advocate., 1833-12-25

lioN IS Us Elalter;; and 0ffe who understands
 matters-but hot as pepper in the cause of
 the opposition. We always take hold of
 hls sheet with pleasure-bnt he should have
 better workmen in his office. Just now,
 he Is chafing at the removal of the depos-
 ites--but, to our mind, he goes too far.
 Under that book IS another Republican,
 the Nashville one. IL Is amusing, how par ty names are new applied. Here are two
 papers, diametrically opposed in politics
 ln every point. One is for the Bank, and
 the other against it--one for the Tariff, and
 the other against it-and, in word, one
 makes Jackson demigod, and the other, profound villain and despot-and both are
 Repu6tscans. The old landmarks of party have been swept away, and in every direc-
 ton among the wild waters of political strife, you see men drifting about, uncertain whith-
 CT to turn themselves, or where to look for the true beacon. I Parties that had long ex-
 lsted, have been broken up, as 1t were with an earthquake, and the discordant materials
 are fefmenting, and resolving themselves into new combinations. Political opinion IS unsettled, and men, formerly the most op- posite, arc staaulgamatlng into new and sln-
 gular parties. jacksonism has ceased to
 be name for any particular set of opinions,
 because the President has been upheld, at
 one time by the Nuliders, and at another by the Consolidationists of the North. It
 Is impossible to say to what all this will lead-but we may venture to predict, that
 the whole land will ere long be divided into
 two parties-Union and Dlsunlon--and in
 these two great divisions all petty grades of distinction must and will be merged. W
 are afraid that Disunion is making many
 converts. It is bad sign, when we begln
 to contemplate separation and the disorgan-
 ization of our Government, as an event to
 be coolly talked about. Twenty years ago, , the same thing would have been received
 with a smile. of plying incredibly, or
 laugh of derison. We hope that we can
 answer for Arkansas, that when she shall
 become State, she will 20 for the UNION,
 with stern and uncompromising decision.
 But we were speaking of the Nashville Republican The Editor of it is 6 keen and clever man--and has improved im-
 mensely. His brother Editor, of the Ban-
 Iler, is one of our best Editors, and, which is rarity in these days, he uses his strength
 of intellect in moderate, gentle and honor-
 able way The mantle of poor Hunt has
 fallen on no unworthy shoulders-and that ] is a high compliment. No Editor in the
 United States was more able, unpfejadieed, mild and gontlemanly than Hunt.
 There are some Nullies close by you. Hot fellows, and highminded-bu under , terrible delusion. They Will find, some , time, that they are piling up eoals to scorch
 away their own hearts--they are nursing a tempest which they will be unable to man. age-they are taking the letters from the chained earthquake. Violence and denun- l ciation against them IS out of place. They
 are traitors, but deceived and deluded ones. Gentler means should be used to wake them from the strange dream in which they l are wandering, and out of which, If 1t con
 tinue long, they will awake to danger and death. Dark, dark and horrible will be our condition, if they prevail. We shall have pursued Liberty so many years, and find that we have been rewarded, as was Ixion,
 by thin and vain cloud. The shapeless
 echo of our name will die awfy in oblivion, l and we shall e--nothng-nothlng.
 5 What will be done in the present Con- gress'--do you ask! Much. The ques-
 tionof re-chartering the United States Bank will come up; and we doubt if the Presi- dents veto be not overcome by two thirds { of Congress. fit be re-chartered, we hope
 1t will be with some alterations ill the char
 ter---ifit be not, we hope that some Bank will be established, of which the notes shall 3 be good over the whole country. We can- 3 not but augur bad results from the creation
 of an immensity of new Banks. We are
 certain that no man will deny the superiority of the notes of such a Bank as that of the !, United States, over those ot any local Bank; but at the same time, we wish for such re-
 strictions as shall hinder general Bank
 from becoming political engine; for such 5 we conceive the United States Bank to be.
 Neither do we approve of the removal of
 the deposites, because they were guaran- ) teed to the Bank by its charter, and we f think that great Government should hold
 to it's promises, even tho it be injured there by. In this matter, however, we are con- tent to set both sides of the question before you, and let you judge for yourself. There is the Globe, and here Is the inieliigencer both from head quarters, and both leaders.
 By the way, they accuse us i'll Arkansas,
 of immense sin as an editor-of personall- el ty. abuse, and thousand other crimes be- side. Now. gentle Reader, we do defy you to show any thing which has ever been l published in Arkansas, more reprehensible
 than the editorial articles Of the Globe.- T We say this in self defence. We have been pointed at by the slow, iissaisaniisg
