Iohn Petit.

The Newcastle Courier, edited by a snapPish little
fellow named Grubbs, who always seems ambitious to
enact in petticoats the political Mrs. Caudle, improves
upon a late paragraph IN the State Journal as follows:
eTThe ~locofocos OF the Lafayette Congressional
District have re-disgrace3 themselves by nominating
john Petit as a candidate for Congress. IL the char
acter of the people is to be judged by the character of
the Representative, there must be a great restitution
Of honesty, religion and morality in the 9Th district
This is the essence Of the personal assaults now
being made by the wig papers generally, against
Mr. Petit. Not n word is said against his political
integrity as a democrat not an intimation that he
did not faithfully fulGl the functions of Q representa-
tive in the last Congress. But, he is not pions
enough to suit these base assailants Not pious
enough, simply because he thinks the c~haplains ought
TO be paid out of the s. per day of the members, Just
as every body else pay FOR such services, instead Of
appropriating the public treasure. Right or wrong.
il is not likely that Petit can accomplish the purpose
he aimed at there is too much hypocrisy and hum
bug in Congress, for that and the greatest hypo-
critics would clamor loudeSt against it; that's the way
Of the world. And at any rate, it is a very trifing
matter. Who cares how the ~chaplains are paid, so
that they get the money ! Certainly not these clam
orous and slanderous Wing editors. Why then should
they so bitterly assail a man for a mere difference of
opinion on such a matterl Simply because as a de-
mocrat, he is a thorn in the sides of VIII ggery, and
its devOtees can discharge their gall in no other way.
We are glad to see that there is one whig editor,
who, from motives of policy, or som more generous
sentiment, does not JON in these personal assaults,
and even ventures to re5uke them. We mean the
Tippecanoe Journal, which IS published at Lafayette,
the place of Mr. Pettit's residence, and whose editor
knows Mr.. P. much better than those who assailhim.
The Journal Of May 22d contains tie following
"The democracy-some of them at least-seem to
be in ecstacies because we don't choose to villfy
abuse and BLACKBOARD their candida tie for Congress,
Mr.. Petit. The thing is unaccountaJle to them.
They can't see into it. Well-it's no great matter,
whether they understand it or not. It's a wdy ICE
hare, however. Nj. Petit is known to the people OF
the district. He has served them in Congress, aud,
as we honestly believe, has done quite well, in a mere
political point of view, as would any other man the
Democracy could have selected. He is bold and fear
less-(in some things rather reckless)-and not with
out talents. Whatever his faults may be-and he has
enough, In all conscience-he seeks not to conceal
them. John Petit is no lypocrite. What he is, be
iS-and ne don't care who knows 1t. What he thinks,
lie is not afraid to avow, and that, too, upon the
house tops. For this, we could not help respecting
him, if we would"

General jackson.

The mortal career Of Andrew Jackson seems to be
rapidly approaching its close. We copy the follow
ing extract of a letter from the General to Mr.. Blair,
dated May I'd, and published in the Washington IN
ion. The first paragraph relates to the Generals pa
pers.

many private papers that ought to go into no other
hands but a confidential friends.
..Our friend Col. Polk will now =

up the American traitors. My dear friend, | am ex-
hausted, and must close. l am a blubber of water
from the toes to the crown of my head, aud every line
| write must pause, for breath. May the choicest
blessings of Heaven be bestowed on you and every
branch Of your family, is the united prayer OF The IN
mates of the Hermitage"
The letter occupies a little more than two pages OF
letter paper. The handwriting is as good as the Gen.
eral ever wrote-no sign of tremor, and not a word
scratched out, or interlined.
The following Is an extract of a letter to the Presi-
dent, dated May 9th:
~ must close. am greatly afflicted. | am swol-

PietY and Prostitution.

The following paragraph is extracted from the
Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Journal OF
Commerce, which is, as the phrase goes, one of the
'most religious papers in the country. We are
puzzled TO understand the drift of the writer exactly,
unless be means that the prescription of ~whiggery
is q religious virtue. If the writer Is correct in his
statements, there can be no other conclusion than the
above, unless it be that the more pious a man becomes
the less generous he is and of course the Journal Of
Commerce will not agree to that. Here is the ex-
tract:
SIT Is a curious fact that the most proscriptive adj
ministrations have been the most church-going, if you
except Van Buren,, who was not very devout while
here. Jackson was as regular as a clock in his at.
tendance at the First Presbyterian in the morning.
Not in vain did his poor mother teach him the cate
chism, of whom and of which teachings | have heard
him speak with lively interest. Mr.. Adams has al
ways been exemplary in these matters. But Dir. Mon.
roe and Mr. Madison before him, did not often darker
the doors of the church. They were not, however,
like Jefferson, unobtrusive in the opposite direction. -
