THE CHARM BROKEN.

We cannot but congratulate our fellow
citizens on the cheering Prospect before
u.s." 1t would seem almost morally sure,
from the intelligence which will be found
in another part Of this paper in relation 10
the Elections in the States, that the un.
wearied efforts to transfer the popularity
of"Od Hickory" to the little New York
Aristocrat, has proved abortive, and otally
unavaling. The thing won't take. The
old hobby of hurrahing for Jackson don't
sound we'll with "the party" when they
come to apply it to the little Mrgician who
never merited any civil or military renown.
Heace, it will be seen That nothing now is
wanting but union and concert Of action on
the part of the opposition to bring back
and restore the country to its primitive
purity and wipe away the blots and stains
which have been cast upon it by ruthless
and prof1igate faction. The "spoils' men

that we have just carried the state by a

Mr.. Robbins, the Rhode-Island Senator,
in the course of his remarks at the meet
ing, at Newport on the Goth inst, made
the following charge:-
Van Buren, and his personal partizans,
were the bitter and uncompromlsing oppo
nents of the distribution policy, and they
still mean to destroy it if possible. The
Globe, the official paper and organ, has de.
nounced it as another monster, and one to
be destroyed. Many OF the affiliated pres
SEES have echoed the denuncialion, par,cu
larly the Albany Argus; and both are en-
deavoring to reunite the party for its des-
tructon. The Globe is calling upon the
States to refuse to accept the distribution
under the act, and thus to Illustrate its
operation. The Globe has intimatcd that
the act will be officially de nounced, and its
repeal recommended in the opening message
to Congress-, at the next session and we
are to presume that it has official authority
for the intimation. 1t is then to be, (who
can doubt it?) the great issue Of the coming
Presidential contest. The issue then to
be put to the people, is to be this-Tan
