Mr.. Snopden:-A writer eek. Y. Z.n) in Sa.
turday's Gazette publishes letter from General
Jackson to Mr.. Calhoun, dated in June $780, and
proceeds to compare its style with that of public
| documents issued by certain celebrated states
men.
Without disputing the genuineness of the let
ter, or noticing the mfairneSs Of a comparison
instituted between the careless style Of private
letter, written to an individual, and the exact
form of state papers carefully prepared and
published to the world, we were amused by the
parallels run between the public services of An
drew Jackson, and the exploits OF ancient and
modern heroes.
Has he,-enquires "X. Y. Z."-like Alexan-
der, led his millions to battle2*-We answer, no.
Has he wept for another world to conquer?-No.
Has he, like Bonaparte, led victorious army
over the Alps2-No. Has he, like Washington,
conducted skilfu retreat through the Jerseys?
NO, he has never retreated. Has he written
a Declaration of lndependence?-No: Jefferson
only could have produced such document.
Has he written State papers, like Madison?-
No: neither will "X. Y. ~, We may venture
to predict, ever attain the pure style of that We
nerable Patriot
What, then, has Andrew Jackson done2 He
has won the hearts, and he still possesses the
confidence, of the free and enlightened Repub-
licans Of North America. Had he been an
Alexander, Caesar, or Bonaparte, those Re-
publicans would have quickly hurled him from
the exalted seat on which they have placed him.

happy Republic, *. Y. T." proceeds 10 en-
quire Where now is Greece? Where now is
Rome? Where is France?-Why, she is. TX.

she may be blotted ont Of existence toreper."-
And this response may, perhaps, be cited as an
instance Of what the Rhetoricians call the "sub-
lime of nonsense"
But" Where is American Aye, indeed,
"Gentle Shepherd, tell me whereof
And" Where are Alexander, and Caesar,

WASHINGTON, April 18th, 1884.

WAsuINGToN, April 18th, 1884.
We have in the Globe of this morning,
what President Jackson calls his "Pro-
test.n He should have called it "chain
of Royal Prerogaiives"-or else an as
se,iioa oj unlimited and uncontrolled Err
ecuiire po,cer. II is paper OF monstrous
and alarming preiensions. 1t asserts,
ard attempts to maintain, and appeals to
the people to assist him in maintaining,
these lwo proposi!ions-lst. That Inc Sc
nate OF The United States has no right 10
cypress any opinions disappearing his Of
fetal acis on conduct, except on the di-
rect question Of impeachment; and, Cd
That The money, as meH as all other pub
lie property Of the Nation, is under has
control, and That Congress cannot take ii
amay. The last of these positions is
plain and direct assumption of arbitrary
power, in violation and contempt OF the
Constitution and the Law-and the first
is clear and palpable breach Of the
privileges Of the Senate. If the people
sustain these grasps for power, the Fed
eral Government ~ at an cnd-the Con-
Slilullol tS ROhc. iuo ooJ'St 10 "PP"-
rent. Every body here sees it-ieelsit.
1t is an assault on the Senate. The Sc
nate stands in the breach-it arrests the
progress Of Executive power-it will not
bow to tho mandate of Executive will
1t must therefore be put down-and the
people are TO be mace the instruments to
put it down-yes, the people, themselves!
But the Senate will not submit. There
are men in it-spirits in it, who will not
blink the danger, nor shame the sons of
Liberty. They will stand by their rights
and freedom, as their fathers did. The
advocates of arbitrary power have shown
their heads too soon. Too soon for their
own purposes-but not for the country.
Their rash "Experiment," OF which this
is the second act in the Tragedy, has al
ready brought distress enough upon the
people; but thank GoD, it has not been
long or severe enough yet to make them
slaves. The people will understand and
appreciate this daring attempt to deceive
and lead them to become their own exc
cutioners. Tories love power-as Wings
do Liberty. And who will not be
Wing now?

of the Senate until near the adjournment
Scarcely ever before did such throng
of auditors press upon the Senate; and,
during part Of the day, nearly half the
Members ofthe other House were among
them. At one time, upon some applause
being heard from the galleries, they
were ordered to be cleared, and the Of
ficers of the Senate contrved to execute
the almost Herculean labor. One or
two persons were arrested, but released
on the adjournment. These Interrupt
tons of applause or censure from the
galleries are generally inconsiderate
merely; but it is proper that they should
be represscd, and decidedly, whenever
the indecorum occurs.
The House Of Representatives, have
had their attention also called to the
subject which for the two days past has
engrossed the attention Of the Senate
Resolutions, pointedly rebuking the Ex-
ecutive doctrines, have been offered by
n Repres entative from Nirginia; and, al
though not decisive, the vote in favor Of
suspending the rules to receive them,
may be considered as a strong indication
Of the feeling of the House on the sub
jcct Of the claim ofun!imitcd d power over
the purse of the n alton, which is set up
in the Message.

BY the returns for Governor, &c. in
this days paper, it would seem that the
Tory ticket has succeeded by a small
majority, but we are strongly inclined to
believe that the Senators in the Uhlg
ticket-a majority of them at lcast-are
elected. When it is considered that
last year Gov. Francis and his Senate
got into power by nearly 800 majority,
and that this year he has been elected
by little more than hundred majority
the Whigs have achieved victory which
VIC hold to be a suro presage of total
overthrow of Jacksonism in Rhode-Is-
land. There are reasons which we
might assign, why our success has not
been as complete as we had right to
expect, but it is unnec essary now to emu
merate them. We would say to our po-
Iitical friends, the Wing party, through
out the State, let your motto be CON
ward"-"Liberty and Uniom-Now and
FoREvER-one and inseparabie."

sF" The Report of Mr.. Poindexter,
which was promised in our last number,
is unavoidably deferred until next week.
TIE VOICE OF RuODE-ISLAND.

The election which has Just termina-
ted, is a severe rebake upon the conduct
of the Chief Magistrate of the United
States. The people have expressed their
disapprobation of the measures of the
President in a manner that will not be
misunderstood. The majority of our op-
ponents has been reduced, since the last
election, from seren hundred and forty
nine, to but little more than ONE HUN
DRED, thereby exhibiting net gain to
the Wing cause of upwards of SIX
HUNDRED AND FIFTY VOTES!
In the House of Representatives too,
we have gained certainly six members,
and probably eight; so that we may have
in that body, an equal number with our
opponents The election Of Senate
we still think doubtful. Let it not be
thought that Rhode Island is Jackson
State, merely because our election has
resulted as it has. A vast majority of
the Antimasons voted for Gov. Francis,
on the assurance from him that he was
unquailiedly opposed to the recent
measures of the President of the United
States. Had no such assurance been
given them, Gov. Francis could not have
been reelected, and we confidently a.
yer, that had he openly and unequvo.
cally avowed himself in favor of the
usurpations Of the President, he would
have been defeated by great majority.
AS an evidence of this, take for instance
the large town of Warwick, Gov. Fran
cis' own TowN--there he had 90 major
ity given him from personal considcra-
tions, and because they prefer him for
the Chief Magistrate of the State, TO
MIR. Knight. Yet, in Mis Uery torn, SO
entirely opposed are the voters to the
reckless course Of the "Old Arab" that
they unanimously instructed their Repre-
sentativcs in the General Assembly to
vote petition To Congress, not only to
RESTORE THE DEPoslTEs, but to RE
CHARTER THE PRESENT u. STATES

SEASONABLE REFLECTIONS.

Every day hastens the approach of
that pleasant season, when we can in
hale the balmy breeze, and walk forth
into the fields, where all nature shall be
rejoicing! This sweet expectation is one
of the few which does not deceive us,
because it is founded on the invariable
laws Of Nature. The charms of this
fond hope are alike diflused through ev-
cry fond heart. 1t is not the splendor
oi the purplc,. nor the glittering of the
dIadem; it is not Office, nor wealth,
which alone procure these delights, that
often cheer the peaceful breasts of the
cottager, who is not allowed to enter tho
abode Of royalty, nor permitted ciihom
frozen TO offer his humble petition to
republican chiejiam.
The arrival Of Spring is attended with
thousand new delights; the beauty and
fragrance o! the opening blossoms, the
warbllng of the birds, and the widely
dliiused JOY and gaiety that smile around.
In general our terrestrial hopes are
damped by anxiety, and reprcssed by
hope: the hope of Spring is no less cor-
tam and satisfactory, than il is pure and
innocent. But hope comes not now as
heretofore to cheer the man of business,
the merchant, the farmer and the manu-
iacturer. The will Of one man wraps
whole country in gloom, that of late was
rejoicing in the merry round of business
aud industry.
Hope is one oftbo choicest gifis which
Heaven mcrcilully deigns to mortality;
when the storms roar and the tempest
howls, hope still supports our dropping
spirits, and the rays Of consolation glad
den our hearts. Without this pleasing
emotion, how sad and dreary would have
