TuE. CONSTrCuIInN

In words which we have already quoted, Mr..
O'tS'es Br"ionSpn. one OF the great and heretofore
acknowledged lights Of locolUcuism thus speaks
OF Gen AcKsoN's leading idea of what The Con-
Stltuion is:
:" The grand maxim Of Gen. JACKSON, in his
administrations us collect from the history of
That administration, was, The people are sove-
reign; II l gain their sanction it is enough.
lie appears III his administration to have re
gaf"ed The people as above The Constitution and
laws, and To have held that he secured the hinl-
est possible sanction for his acts when he Sc
cured the popular appreciation, formally or III
formally expressed"
An admirable descriptions We could almost
SIT al The ieet oil this democratic philosopher for
The undauned love Of truth which urges him on
to speak such unwelcome things OF the Great
Idol in It's very temple. The Democratic Re-
vIew''-instead of crying forever :" Great is Diana
OF the Ephesans."
But he might have added, that, as the great n,u-
stefan loves his instrument, so Gen. JACKSON
loved The people only because he could play upon
them what tune he liked. lie set the prople's
pleasure above the law, and it was Constitution
enough Tor him, because tchai lee ,ciLled the peo-
pie were ready 30 sanction; and, where hey
might have differed from him, the terror of his
popularity held most men mute. So that his ,v,H
seeming 10 be the peoples, became so, and stood
the sole authoriiy-ihe only law. the only Con.
siIIuiion, and (if he had chosen) almost The only
Gospel.-Nat. Int.

The particular paragraphs which have excited
III" ir" OF the Globe, although inserted on a for
iher day, are too good TO be ouitted-rhey are
The best and most iiulhiui commentaries upon the
motives which influenced Jackson and which
stamp him as the most inischev0us Deinagogue
ol Tie age. Coming from who idOlized him,
ihty carry the greater weight:
- hr grand moXim Of General Jackson, in his
administration. as | collect from the history Of
HAT administration, was, the people are s0ve-
er'gn--ii gain their sanction, it is enough"
Again:
:" Vie appears in lis administration to have re-
garded tine people as above the Constitution and
laws. and 10 have held that he secured the hiobest
possible sanction for his acts hen he had secured
the ropnlar. expectation, formally or informally
expressed"
None but the Globe will deny the business Of
these conclusions. 1t is but an anticipation of
the verdict of bstory-modiied by the sentiment
OF admIrlng friendship. For History, while il
VIII speak to the same effect, will deal in terms
more harsh, and better suited 20 excite in the
breasts OF mankind, the deiestation which such
conduct deserves.

WHO OPPOSES THE TARIFF.

In the Tariff controversy in this country, says
the Philadelphia Independent, on what side does
the British Government, British nobility, and
BRUSH manufacturers range themselves Why,
truly, on the side with Locofocos. Like
them, they are in favor of destroying our manu-
'actures-like them, they are disposed 10 transfer
all our workshops and onr mechanics to England,
to build np arisiocracy, nobility and monopoly /;
and to crush the rising greatness of this republic
Every word uttered by our Locolocos in favor
OF destroying our manufactures, and building up
the manufactures Of England on their ruins, is
merely an echo of the arguments of The British
arstocracy, the British manufacturers, and the
BRUSH Government, on the same subject.

AN EVERY inch WING.

Willis Hall. a true and noble Wing, who was
recently stricken down by paralysis, has received
a very touching letter of coincidence from the
Wing General Committee Of New York City.
In his reply, Mr.. Hall observes:
My heart is in the great cause to which we are
mutually pledged: and III its glorious success,
look anXlously for demonstration To the world
that Republics are not always unjust nor ungrate
full.
Go on vigorously, beseech you, in the great
work which you have commenced in the hope of
whose accomplishment, millions Of hearts beat in
unison with yours. The good old cause again
calls you into the held--ihe cause which has
been once betrayed, but has never yet been stain
ed with disbonor. With candidate who enbo-
dies your principles, and who will be false In
forty years Of public service, if he is not true to
them and you, | believe that, with the blessing
OF thai overriding Providence in whose hands are
the destinies of nations, well as The issues Of
life, you will achieve more brilliant victory in
the name OF Clay, than you won under The BAN
ner of HARRISON.

FISHER ANEs.-'rhe following passage from the
Biography Of Fisher Ames, by the late President
kirkland, is worthy of being printed in letters of
gold. Would that it could be read and regarded,
as Its Importance demands, by erery young man
an our country:
When vice approaches the youthful mind i'm
the seductive form of beloved companion, the
ordeal becomes threatening and dangerous in the
extreme. Few possess the prudence and unyield-
ing hrmness, requisite TO pass in safety. Those
who have been accurately observant to the depen-
dence OF one part of life on another, will readily
concur WIN us, that Ames' future character de-
rived much of its luslre, and his fortunes much of
their eevaiion from the untainted purity and ire
proachableness Of his youth Masculine virtue
Is as necessary 10 real eminence, as a powerful
Intellect. He that is deficient in either will ne
yer, unless from the influence of fortu,ous cir
cnms'ances, be able 20 place and maintain himself
at the head of society. He may rise and flourish
for time but his fall is as certain as his descent
to the grave. He who holds parley with vice
and diShonor is sure TO become their slave and
victim. That heart is more than half-corrupted,
that does not burn with Indignation at the slight
est attempt 10 srduce it.''

TnE LATE FREsn.-'fhe jefferson Free Press

so as in April-and that the old Forge dam above
Waynesborough, was carried away, besides a
good deal of fencing along the river.

however, the food has been the most disastrous
Both rivers were up on Saturday morning three
feet above the highest point OF the food las, pr,
and more than foot over the memorable food OF

and the water was in the first story of almost eve

ises of both so filled that their cooking for hum
dreds o. travellers had to be performed i'm the up.

The Emperor, overcome by his forcible represen-
