Ohtrude on the public for any office. % nei- theP shOuld he decline serving tho country in any station fO which the people should think proper to elect him. He may now. therefore, be considered as fairly in the heId, as com petitor for the support of the Jackson party, 1 in opposition tO the Vice President.
 The New. York intriguer. as you may sup 1 pose, is very restive st this diversion ID ia.or Of another. \ have not seen him since the last dev eIOpement, hut his friends are alarmed. and do not hesitate to denOuncs the presump- tiOO Of Mr. White and his friends. They lD- sist that the Vice President IS the nfs,n spring of the party. and that without his a'd, Gen' Jackson could neserhave reached the Fres'' dency. Al this Is welt enough, but it mas DO more effect on the Western Jackson men man the whistliDg of the wind. You wll' soon hear more of these movements. and am ln- clined to thiGk that the result will be fatal tO the hores of the New York politicians. It is said, however, that Col JOhnsOn's friends do not relish the nomination of MT. White, lest 1t should exclude the gallant C0'oneI from at' chance in the West either tor President or Vice President. He would like to be Presl- dent. hut if that is impracticahle. he would
 nat turn his back upon the second post. It
 would be too much to expect tO have both President and Vice President from the West or South West. and the Colonel is, therefore, opposed tO the elevation If any Western man -save one--the Colonel himself

 should yet distance the Vice President. More aD0n.-Los. Intei. IT s.tf f{e ,,s s1>n Dn-

 THE NATIONAL DEBT.
 The last pay ment of the debt due by the American people has been made. and the Uni ted Statrs of.America are. free from debt of
 any kind. having redeemed its faith with all
 the nations ofihe earth, paid off the debtcre afed by the revolution of l776, and the war
 ofl8lg; and the credit of the Government is equal to that of any Government in any part of the world. From the thirteen colonies we have increased to twenty four free and sove- reign states. and from three to thirteen mil lions of people. There can be no limits to our power and prosperity if we continue to regard national .f1ith as the brightest star in our national banner. Whcn we look to the appalling amount ofthe national debt of Great Britain, and indeed to the debt due by every mOnarchHl Government, and then to our own powerful. nation free from debt altogether, with unlimited credit. and people untaxed and unshackled. we have a right to feel proud of our name as Americans. This may be call. ed our second independence; for, to he free from debt Is to be free in person and in mind; it is an event worthy of being celebrated as jublee-by ringing ot bells and firing of can non 1; but alas the free citizens 0fthis repub- lie have hern fnresialled in their anxiety to celebrate this event by the sycophants and man ,cOrshiprers. who, anxious ta turn every event into electiOneering objects, are seeking to in vest Andrew Jackson with the glory "f bav- ing paid tho National Debt and by public meeting at Washington, have resolved to con meet this event with the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.
 There appears to he no end to the Gbject serviLify shown tO this man by individuals having personal and speculative objects in view; f,,r all this " man n.worshipping' slayish dev0tion--this fawning. dugIike spirit. is only to speculate upon his patronage and populariiy--to get something out Q fhim. The last payment of the National Debt has been made during the administration of Andrew Jackson, and this accidental event is all the real glory he has right to claim. Was it his friends who assisieCto pay this debt-his host of foreigners and aliens--his band of of Rce holders-or the residents of the lanes and alleys who have contributed tO pay off this debt? Not at all. The debt was paid by those whom he has sought most tO inlure- the merchants and agricult0raiists. Was tt the economy of his administration that led to AAa.A Il nE ahGA NOfhR Nmt
