mcncement of General yackson's ad.
ministra;ion, and supporter of that
administration, until he was driven
from its support by disgust at the cor
ruption manifested by the administra-
ton and the party which supported it..
He declared that he would no longer
wear the collar of any man, and for
his independence was proscribed by the
party and the administration. Two
years ago he was defeated in the Con.
gressional election by Mr.. Fitzgerald,
the administration candidate. The ia
bles are now turned, and Colonel Crock.
EFT has received the reward of his indie.
pendence and firmness in the approving
suffrages OF his fellow citizens. The
election of Mr.. Chiffon, in Kentucky
presents a similar case to that of Colo.
mel Crockett. Four years ago Mr..
Chiffon was member of Congress,
and supporter Of Jackson, whom he
abandoned for the same causes which
operated with Col. Crockett. He was
prescribed also, and two years ago lost
his election. Times are changing.
