LOuisian0.-The election for Members of Congress,
&c was held in this state the first Monday of this
month. No returns are yet received. There was no
opposition expected to the Wing Representatives in
districts but in the other district now represented
by Gen. Ripley, the contest would be close, and it
was hoped the wing candidate would succeed.
Jackson Creed.-We have been quite amused, re-
marks the editor of the New-York d. Advertiser, in
looking article from the Frankfort, Kentucky,
Commonwealth, which is too long for our columns
We extract the following capital specimen of the
Jackson creed, SO just that presume many fol-
lower although mortified that such things are will ac-
knowledge its truth:
Zone of the fundamental principles of the British
Government is, that the King can do arrong. Is
there any now in that attitude in country p
The King can do no OrOng! The Internal Improve
ment men praise the veto on the Maysvile rood. The
King can do torOng. The Internal Improvement
men approve the signature of the President to the ap
IcrOng. The President thinks that bank might be
chartered by Congress to all national purposes
and be constitutional We think so too exclaim his
admirers; The President thinks that no bank can be
faithful The President thinks that to appoint men,
bers of Congress to Office will corrupt the government
We think so too, is the answer of the party. The
resident thinks that appointing more members to Of
ce than all OF his predecessors together, will not cor
rupt the government That s opinion too say the
Office holders. The President says that all 'the Off
ces are my Offices Certainly they are, says the par
to say SO. Most assuredy You did not, rs echoed ny

nent man from office who will not support mr.. Van
Buren,. He does exactly right, is the drilled echo's an
swer. The President says that the Constitution ought
to be So altered as to prevent any man from being
twice elected to that office. You are right, say the
true men, for the first term would be spent in election
eerng for the second. The President says my first
reelection. Right right General-we thank you for
your as long as you please and
will stick fast to you. The President thinks that
reprisalS upon French commerce would not lead to
war. They will not lead to war, is the opinion of the
party, The President thinks that reprisals upon
French commerce would lead to war. To be sure
they would, say the Jackson men. The President
thinks that the safe disposition of the public
ney would be to distribute it among the States, accor

that very opinion ALSO reioned the Baltimore Humbug

aN1L DEsPERANDUM."
Some excellent persons whom we occasionally have
met, and with whom we have conversed on the sub
ject of the ching Presidential Election seem not
to- have recovered their firmness confidence since
the accession Of Gen. jackson. They fear that the
ures are SO corrupting and its efforts will be so great,
to make the resistance of the people inefficient and
unavaiing. With all due respect to these persons,
we must say. that they are Just in that miserable state
OF doubt and rresouhon, which makes them the easy
prey of artful and designing men. These doubters,
without knowing it perhaps, ready to fall prey to
designing enemy. If foreign force should land on
our shores, we fear they would with their usual apa-
strong for as !"
But is this the spirit of freemen, Of republicans, of
Seb to s the feeling
generate sons OF worthy sres Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty and in no other way be pre-
served than by combating manfully against our en-
slavers.
We say therefore to these persons WAKE UP; "you
are behind the intelligence of the age" Look around
you and you will the evidences of grand move
ment going on which must be successful. Where is
Mr. Van Buren, ssrength? He has possibly four states
in New England, and hard struggle before him for
New York. This is all he can expect to obtain. The
South and West are irreyoeaby opposed 70 him
Meetings OF the people, state conventions new presses,
old Jacksonians are in array against him..
No enthusiasm no energy attends his support. His
advocates are confined TO class OF weather beaten
and often bought up editors to Office holders, and the
men who wish to speculate with the Government mo-
ney or make their profits out of the necessities Of the
poor We challenge the production of the least evil

where. He never was friend Of the people, never had
their confidence, and never can have it.
His partizans know this, and they do not calculate
any thing on his personal popularity. It is party drill
alone on which they rely. But this will not continue
forever; Even the best disciplined and organised
and the people are tired Of them We say once
to our brethren who despond, il you can despond any
longer, dismiss your doubts. Come up to the work be-
fore you, and THE DAYS OUR OWN Albany Ado.
