Gentlemen-Some Wing writer, over The sig
nature of "Brutus," in The Wing othe 18Th inst,
has, in glowing terms, Introduced r. Nj. t. Hun

parsonage of our party, 10 supply the vacaneyoc
casioned by the expiration OF VIM. Z. kivesS
term of service. Whilst he has placed Hunter
al The pinnacle OF fame, he has attempted 10 DIS
para.e the prrtensions of our distinguished lei
low. citizens, Pennybacker and Smith. have no
wish myself TO detract from the merits OF iunIer
or 10 say aughl against The humblest member
of our parly but, al the same time, would thank
the Wings not 10 be loo olicious in prescribing 10
us the line Of our duty; we shall no doubt make
wise selection unaded BY the gratuitous advice 81
our political enemies oi whom We ask no Dool
in the premises.
We are obliged 10 "Bruus," however, for his
high-wrought eulogy of Hunter. II is really
finished piece OF composition manitesting equal
" an ability 10 Stay, 10 build and 10 polish. The
whitening stroke inflicted on their own man Will
loughby, is quite unique, and against which We
shall not enter our protest. Hunter is certainly
promising and meritorious politician; other
wise "Brntus" could not so admirably deineate
him. Could he furnish drapery SO rich Tor
member OF his own party? | wot not. "Brntus"
has reared a superb and truly magnificent super
sruclurc-a superstructure both brilliant and i'm
posing, an very adroilly selects foundation not
his own; he lrespasses upon the grounds OF his
adyersares, and uses their implements! He
saws, he can succeed as well, under other clrcum-
stances, with foundation and materials OF his
own but those other circumstances, like the con-
venent season when Felix was TO attend TO Paul,
will never occur admire, however, the candor
OF BrulS;' such enemies willnever hurt us much,
but think he would be better employed in prorping
his own fallen fortunes, than in grauitously EN-
bellishing cause that he has used his best ef-
forls TO destroy. He falls out with his brother
"Willoushby," for not beating Hunter, and this
same Hunter he makes The theme OF a compost
tion that ! am willing 10 admit, is really chasle
and finished. Well, he who is not against US, is
Tor lis, and if "Brutus" be member OF the As
scmbly, he cannot injure the cause of truth and
the fundamental principles OF Democracy BY CIV
ing his suffrage 10 HUNTER, who is calculated,
l am proud 10 admit, 10 fill mighty space in po-
li,ical fame, and prove an ornament not inferior
in lustre 10 any OF his predecessors who have so
richly adorned the mother of States and of States

The CoMEr.-The second great comet of 1845
has been observed at the Philadelphia High School
Observatory Its nucleus is said 10 be as bright as
Jupiter. Its tail is broader than that Of 1913 |,
|are glad to learn that the Washington Observatory
lis now in active operation, and that this comet has
received the attention of Professor Hubbard, whom
Jour readers will recolect the talented assistant
|at the High School Observatory last year.
This is the fifth comet that has been seen since
|New-year. We learn from our friends of the High
School Observatory, that two more are predicted
making comets, in ALL in the year l845--a num-
ber unexampled in history. We must not forget
among the wonders ofthe year, to remember the re.
markable conjunction Of two comets in February
last, at distance of only degree and half apart.
This near approach was predicted and verified by
Jour astronomers. We expect to hear from the
Cincinnati Observatory on the subject of this splen-
did comet now visible.

The death of this eminent and distinguished man
Twill produce deep and widespread sensation

land will be with many bitter remembrances the gen.
leral feeling will be Of respectful for the
departure of gallant soldier and true lover Of the
land that had heaped upon him its highest honors
las a soldier, he had served his country well and
faithfully; and if his merits as military man were
Rsed as they certainly were, by great errors as q
Pcivan, this IS not the time, nor ours the DISPOSE
|tion, to dwell upon them. While the freshly bro
ken sod is resting his remains, there can be nc
IotheI feeling permitted to obtrude itself upon the
|mind, than a grateful remembrance Of his good
deeds-and at least, temporary forgetuness of his
|errors.
GAS soon as the news of the death of General
jackson was received In this city, the colora on the
|Cty Hall, and at many Of the public houses, were
hoisted at halfmast."
From the New York Unprecedented in mourning.
awe can fully appreciate those expressions Of
lsympathy from the friends OF Gen. Jackson; and
differing though we do from those who thought
1wei of his political services to the country, we de-
!sre to say nothing but good OF the man. lie has
filled large space in the public mind, and has been
1eminently honored by the country. We may hope
that whatever was well done by him for the coun-
TRY may be blessed and that whatever has been
|evilly done may be forgotten and forgiven. As a
|soldier, he was undoubtedly brave man and true
patriot; but as civil officer, our judgment and our
|experence teach us that bis elevation was most UNI
fortunate for the country, while it added nothing to
ibis own renown These are, however, opinions in
which, Of course none Of bis political friends will
concur. No man has excited more personal admi-
ration or been followed by such troops of friends,
since the days of Washington. With the feelings
of such men, on an occasion like the present, we
can sincerely sympathse, at the same time that we
differ from them in their estimates Of many of the
services Of the man. The death Of the ex-President
was event long expected and il must be the source
of great Joy to his friends that he died calmly, in
the circle of his friends at peace with the world, and
in the full belief that he should enjoy oil that was
bright and beautiful beyond the grave.
General Andrew Jackson was born March Is,
1867, and died June 8, l645, in his 18th year.

city authorities are about making arrangements for
