STATE OF pARTIEs.-It was the boast OF an
writer the other day, that his
party had begun to think for themselves"
Doubtless this has beenthe cause of that par
US splitting up. Where any thing like pri-
Vate Judgment has been exercised, it was i'm
possible that any unity of purpose or COM
bined action could long exist among the he
erngeneous and discOl dant materials which
have composed that political centaur, the
Jackson party. They were united at the
outset by a common appetite for public plum
der. The object Of their crusade was nc
they scrambled for the spo'is;
and now that the scramble is over, and no
hope OF any more plumber remains, they have
nothing to do but to sit down and "think 1or
themselves" and ask what all this is likely
to lead 10 in the end. The more honest and
sensible portion answered at oncc-"Destruc-
tion"--and they seeded. The course was
natural. The jackson policy was policy
of destrtctin,?, ard no man who had pro-
perty or character, or reputation, to lose'
could long justify it to his conscience or MS
interest. to rcnaina supporter I'll that policy.

Administr ;tion ranks, till all Respectable IN
dviduals arc taken out of it. The needy al
venturer, the unprincipled intriguer, the
crackbr;;in charlatans-;.li the dregs OF the
party will remain, for such contamination
as it pcaseth Heaven. May the coming
thereof be speedy.
The policy ofthe Jackson Van Buren, par.
ty, we say, is destruction; it is destructive to
trade and industry by ignorant and presump-
tuous tampering with the currency. 1t IS
destructive to the fame and character OF the
nation abroad, by embarrassing our COM
MERGE, and unscttling all those fiscal rela-
tons, upon whose stability so much OF the
reputation of mercantile community de-
ponds. 1t is destructive to the constitution
and laws, by the arbitrary violence and ille-
gality that has marked its course; and it is
destructive to the morals of the community,
by the patronage and encouragement which
it has always shown towards desperate, un-
principled, profigate characters. We ask
any intelligent and impartial man, if the
time was ever known when the land was
flooded with such swarm of official swind-
lers, defaulters, specializing bankrupts, and
runaway sote-keepers of the public money, as
during the administration of Jackson and his
successor
Whence this lawless ruffian spirit, in our
once orderly population! Whence our
niobs, our inccndiarisns, our lynching The
answer is plain. 1t is the spirit of Jackson
ism: a spirit that was born and bred with
that man spirit that has stirred up all the
elements of mischiefand corruption through
out the land-a spirit that has set the poor
man against the rich-encouraged the shar-
per and adventurer against the honest and
industrious man-that has melted the disor-
derby, the coarse, the brutal and the knavish,
that aims at levelling every thing exalted,
spirit animated Jackson, and his followers
could but copy their master. 1t reigned tri-
umphant under the Jackson sceptre; was
left by him as legacy to his successor, and
it will continue till Jacksonism is extinct, and
the present Administration walks out of Of
flee TO make way for honest men. The con-
nexion of moral causes may escape the eye
of superficial observer, but the principles
of human conduct are plain to him who looks
beneath the surface. Certain it is, that the
dav which first heard the air ring with the
slogan of "Hurrah for jackson J" was
black day for the moral, no less than for the
political destiny Of the people Of the United
States .'" S4'>
The policy ofthe Wings, on the other hand,
must be conservative. They have no selfish
purpose to accomplish in elevating any one
man to office. Their main study and endea-
vor is 10 counteract the ruinous proceedings
of Jackson and his protege; 10 resist all po-
litical " experiments" where the country has
every thing to lose and nothing to gain; and
to preserve the Constitution-not "Consti-
tuition asI understand it''-but emphatically
the CONSTITUTION, inviolate.
The Tories are fighting for power, office,
and whatever gain may be de-
rived from disturbing the country, and unset
thing every social institution. The Wings
are contending for law, order and stability.
They have no love for that" equity of rights"
that snatches the bread from their mouths at
the arbitrary bidding of despotic chieftain,
for his sports and experiments" They
have no opinion of that +" liberty" which is
enjoyed by the disorderly; and they have
too much selfrespect to worship that " blaze
of glory" which has only lighted the nation
a downward road to ruin and disgrace.
