We were led to spaak OF the Political charac
Ter and career Of Mr.. Alexander +. Everett. By
the appearance in his name OF a labored argu-
ment for the Annexation Of Texqs in 2 late Dem.
ocratic Review. In that article, he was not cor
tent with exer,ing all his dialectic skill in com-
mending the Texas niquty 10 Northern support,
assuming and arguing that it woald tend to
hasten the extinction OF Slavery bat he say fit
to 90 farther and assert that in al! cur sectional
controversies, the South chat is, the P:edon'-
nant, controlling influence at the South had
been on the side of Liberty while the North
tmeaning that portion OF Northern santimen,
which sso1d opposed 10 The Aforesaid South ;,
had maintained me cause Of Powcr. Heins.anced
the Bank and Tariff questions as illustrating and
sustaining this position; and, upon our Iep'oba-
ting this paltry ec,vity, in subsequent article
ne stated that he had made the same observation
to Mr. Macaulay tnoenfy years ago! How could
we avoid turning over the quilted leaves Of this
mans history fox az exposure at once of The
proagacy of the original inculpaion of his Own
section of the Union and OF this unfortunate
effort to paate it! Aud now TO the record:
Mr. Everett admits in his apology for his ter
givcrsation that he ardantly supported j. Q. i'd
ans for reelection TO tie Presidency, but he did
this as a Democrat, and maintained the same
principles in supporting Mr.. Van Buren, in 1886.
He umps entirely over the contest OF 1882, in
which we fist made his acquaintance as writer.
In the opening Of that conicst-Decembar, 1881
"a National Convention, not ofprolessing Demo,
Gratis, but OF National Republicans, assembled at
Baltimore, and Mr.. Aler II, Eperctt presented
credentials and took a seat therein as delegate
from massachusetts,. That Convention appoint
ed Committee to report an Adams Address, of
wach Mr.. Il. II. Eueret; was Chairman. and BY
him an Address was accordingly reported. From
that Adde'S, VIZ viii make bpt single quotation:

Mr.. Everett proceeds 10 say that ior General
Jackson's hostility 10 the U. S. Bank mo pre-
tert Of any adequate mOtiue is assigned'-that
"the Bank IS in most efficient aud prosperous

do and asks Are the People prepared u

he is evidently unGcquaipted Z" &c. &c. lie
Justly and :ofcibly rep,cbaies Gen. jackson's at
tacks on the Federal Judiciary, and states that
"the recent ishumaa and unconstitutional Out.
RACES committed under the authority of Georgia
upon the persons OF several unoffending ciuzsns
heretofore residing as missionaries within the ter
ritorY OF Georgia, have received the countenaucc
and appreciation of the Executive" He remarks
that Gen. Jacksons "ayowal Of appreciation OF a
judieiogs Tariff, and at the same time .ecom-
mending to Congress precisely the same policy
which had been adopted by the opponents Of that
measure" sc. has shown that he is either
secret ensmy Of the system, or that he is wiug
to sacrifice The most important National Oljects
in a vain attempt to conciliate the conflicting il
terests, or rather the adverse party feelings and
opjnions, of different sections OF the county,
In the same paragraph, Gen. jackson is assailad
for his Voices on the most important bills for
