 We copy the following excellent article from the New.Have" PaIIadum-merely promising that we know of good many Jackson men in d,Aeren, parts Of this county who pretty much in the orcible manner oflhe one here spoken of They are slipping of the collar, and declare that they feel infinitely bet. than they have been to do for some time past with such an ugly appe"dage abou. their .hroats.
 STREET DIALOGUE.
 Jackson Man. Eve got about sick of our party, for a good many reasons, and have made up my mind to quit Il. can stand quite so much corruption as have lately.
 Van Buren Man. hope you aint going 10 desert the democrats and join lle lrdt ralsts.
 Jackson Man. That is all lhe satisfaction I get when tell our folks that cant approve of all their doings. have always been republican and always mean 10 be know there lederaIists and repub. cans on both sides. Al one me thought there were more republicans among '"r folks, and $" kept along with 'rm But lately l have thought differently. l see tha our folks always support lederaiss for office when they get ,hem. They are now supporting Whn,Iesey, frderaIist, for Congress- and opposing Booth, an old republican. Besides, l always voted for TomIinson, Foot, Young an' Barber as republi- cans, and don't like to oppose them now.
 Va" Buren Man. Why, man, they have juned the federasls.
 Jackson Man. don't believe it; and I'll tell you why. The republicans were for economy n their government maliers-ihey were opposed Q the great influence of the Federal Government in State aff,rs and they the friends of our State Constitution. Now you know ta, the expenses of the Federal Gov ernment have increased enormously within few years and that the money of the people has been ab- solu'ely thrown away. See what aLominatons have beeD committed in the Post Office Department. The Post Master Genesa al was taken out oflhis Departmen. and sent as Minister to Spain, although be was in d consumption and 1t was not supposed he would ever live to reiurn-and he did not; yet he drew eighteen n salary. Another eighteen thousand dollars thrown away tn the same mapner npOO the late John Ran d"Iph. The Washington GIobe. which is the orga" Of our party, received eight thousand dollars for a single advertisement that was published OnIy six weeks. This is no, the kind of economy that Jei- fers"n used practice. We gave the iederaiss their name because they were in favor oi giving coDsiera- bIe power and influence to the Federal Government; but they never gave mach [" their President as we have given Go ouys. When Jefferson came n, he pub lisned circular to all the federal post masters and "-lce.o"s under him, aud warned them Mot 10 inter- ere ID the State elections, but told them to put in their votes and go about their business. Our President has never given such orders.
 Fan Bu,en Man. SnnGe Whg has been talking 10 you. These stories about corruption, 6Gc are all pack of federal lies-not word oftr"ih j" them.
 JnckSon Man. So thought sometime ago, ill l began 10 read and hnk the subject. U know when fnks admit there corruption that there nus. be considerable. No whig has talk ed with me lately. I have thought more oIshese eh"gs since our party was in power last Spring; and have thought still more o
 
 MT. Wise's speech!
 Va" Bu,en Man. No-but know shat i, is only string of fedesak iies.
 Jackson Man. That can't be. He made his charg- es before the whole House nf Representatives, and dared any of the members of our party 10 deny their truth, aud they have not even attempted il. He's one of our party, he unlil he began {" feel do He voted for Jackson both Iimes and he voted to give the President the three million of dollars which his friends asked for, just you or would have done; but he is now sorry that he did il, because he has E, sl,o poses.
 Ean Bssren Man. Well don't know any thing about Wses speech, as l never read il. and never mean to. if he's left our party. You saying just now il,a the republicans the friends ofour State Consli'HIi"n Do you mean 10 say that our party mO it's friends
 Jncksfn Man. I am afraid they are not, and this has worried me more than any thing else. The Re. publican party gave State Constitution jus, Il IS. They worked upon it night and day for d long time 10 make n suit the people. They have always p"i"ied to it as their work. Now any party attacks that Constitution, should you not call them it's enemies, and the enemies of the Republican party?
 vnm Bursn Man. To be sure should but you w. not say that our party have attacked Il! little more, and watch llte closer, you w"ul! see that all IS not right According io that constitution, the Superior Court Judges hold their oihces dur'"s good behavior, that they shall not be dependent upon any party for their places. IL was intended hy this to make them fearless and independent m ihe administration of justice. But our party, n ihe last Legislature, voted to alter that constitution SO that the Judges should hold ihe er places bat hve years at time. U this alteration should be made and you or sh1nid nave a lawsuit with any ot our leaders, the oudse "ei"re whom the case was tried. It he were 'ke many other office hoIders, might favor the leader, and hep him get his case and the leader would then use ms influence 'o have the Judge elected for anOth- CT term oi hve years while you and would be turned ndf"t 10 get justice where we coWid lf we should men 'eII our leaders that would vote against them They would laugh The republicans saw all these things and they gave us our constitution for protec- as well their lreDdsior the minority as well as the majority. Do you then call party the fire nds oi the State Constitution, when they have attacked n m pubcans paused the longest and worked the hardest II they are not, how then can they be republicans
 Van Buren Mnn. didn't know about thus, will go and see Mir. Ellis tBeers) dare say ne can set n is true, don't believe shall vote for Van Buren men. =
 Jackson Man. Why do you pin your faith on Mir. Ellis (Reers) sleeve, when you have mind of your ing by using in behalf of the party ha, gives him his salary. l is for his interest pacy you. You have seen what use he has made Of the temperance ques- ton iO obtain votes, and you know that that single forever. never had any confidence in his political opinions, although have often voted with him. He and Charles A. Ingersoll the wire pulers in all the petty manouverng of the pary-boih of them | were federalists, not because they cared any thing about federalism hut because that was the strongest side-they afterwards proiessed to be republicans but they cared nothing aou, the cause-ihey changed for the strongest side. Barber was republican from
 principle, but as soon ne his prime jules hegan to grow proftnbIe, he began twisting them 10 make bem T;ela more, until finally they shared the fate of inc goose that laid the golden eggs.
 Van B"ren MGH. Are you serious iu all that you l have been sayiRgS
