OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The notorious Goblet, whose pen seems ~
ACQUIRE asperity with practice, and vigour WIFI
aoe has addressed a long letter to PresldentJacK-
son, conplimenting him for his hostllty against
the Bank of the United States. 1t is a slheu
lar and extraordinary document, ana one 'il"'
will scarcely prove fattering to the person ~
whom it is addressed, however 1t may nave
been intended. Goblet thanks the President,
first for himself and secondly for his country

system and speaks Of those who conduct the
affairs of the National Bank " as gang OF
traitors"
The most amusing part of the letter-ano
the whole, without doubt, is absurdlty ltsell-ls
the following paragraph, in which Copoett disa-

more than am in law and allegiance l hold,
that this. which we have here, is the best sort
Of Government in the world; that is to say, that
this sort of government is the best, provided
that we have it; hold that the government Of
king. lords and commons, the last Of which

session of the legislature, in the winter of 1885,
and. upon my honor and soul, believe that
there was more personal corruption more hrl-
berry of persons in the legislature, and in ofilce
than has ever taken place; more OF this during
that one session Of the Legislature, than has ev-

during any ten or twenty years that have ever
