conferred upon me by this mark of respect
from portion of my fellow-citizens. long

the grounds Of your confidence, you could
not have selected one more grateful to my
feelings than the support you are pleased
to attribute to me of the administration OF
President Jackson 1t has been, as You
truly say prosperous one: and our coun-

To the President it has been field of hon

his constituents :. The 6rmness with which
they have sustained his administration a.
Tgainst an opposition of Unprecedented vio-
lence, and the constantly aecumulating tes-

JACKSON CRY.
FROM THE wAsH1NaroN cry GLOBE.
To ANbREw JACKSON,

To ANbREw JACKSON,
President af the Daited States s.
SiR: A number Of gentlemen Of en-
|terprise and capital, looking to the. great
increase of the commerce Of the District
of Columbia by the opening Of the Ghes-
apeake and Ohio Canal, have directed
their inquiries as to the proper and pro-
bable point where this trade will concen-
;rate; and they have been led to the con-
clusion, that Masons Tract, at the South
abutment of the Potomac bridge, is the
place which uncomfortable natural causes
obviously designate. They have, there.
fore. wrha viewto the erection Of a per.
manent City at this point, formed an as
|sociation, of which we are made the or.
gans to address you on the subject. Con
sidering your name as the property of the
nation, and of posterity, they have appro:
priated 1t to the contemplated city, and
have called it JACKSON CITY. -
They are we'll aware that the enterprise
as presented, does not exhibit a grandeur
corresponding with the splendor of the
name, but they equally knows that great
results are from small beginnings, and they
cannot but feel sanguine that at no distant
day JACKSON CITY will not be un-
worthy of its name.
1t has appeared to us also as peculiarly
proper that the second man of the Union
should have his name placed by the side
'of that of the first; and we trust that. by
the efforts of ourselves and successors,
aided by the strength of this great coun-
try, Jackson City will grow In happy union
with Washington City.
1t might be proper, sir that We offer you
ai1 apology for this use of your name
without your consent, but we hope to find
our forgiveness in the uniform kindness
of your character; and relying upon this,
we are emboldened 10 ask of you fur
ther favor that you would honor us
and give dignity to our enterprise BY as
sisting with us to lay the corner stone OF
the contemplated city on the day Of !.
With every sentiment of respect and adj
miration for your private and public ser
vices, we have the honor to be your obe-
dient servants.

an appropriate day for the occasion, 8,h
of Januury nezt, at such an hour as shall
be most convenient to you.
In selecting day SO distinguished in

embryo city ray of reflected glory, by
identifying its birth with a great national
anniversary that he who brought into
existence an era so momentous, should, on
its anniversary, give helping hand in
laying the foundation of city honored
by his name, are circumstances peculiar

of associations which cannot fail to fill
with just pride the minds of those who
shall inhabit this gifted city.

THE GENERAL POsT OFFICE.

From the moment when we first learn
ed that Mr.. Kendall had been selected to
preside ovef and control the rnultifarious
and complicated concerns of this depart
+ment, we cherished the fullest assurance
that characteristic diligence, energy and
Fvigilant personal supervision of its affairs
would at once banish whatever temporary
embarrassment might have cramped its
operations or momentarily checked the ex.
tension of It's faciiities But great as were
our anticipations, they are more+han realiz-
ed. From the annual Post Office Report,
to which we alluded in our last, it appears
that this important and emincntly useful
branch OF the government was never in a
more vigorous and effective condition, or
more abundantly capable of faffording to all
sections of our country the means of a safe,
punctual and expeditions inter-communica
ton among its citizens. The whole ,docu-
ment, Notwithstanding It's voluminousness,
possesses uncommon interest-being alike
distinguished for the ability of its COMPOSE
ton, the elearness and pertinenry Of its de-
tails, the business Of its reasonings, and the
manly independent tone ofits sentiments.
