What, then, becomes Of Mr.. Jackson's
declarations for equal representation They
vanish into thin air; they are me, on every
hand by acts which contradict them--acts
in which he took part, or suffered to he
enacted before him, without raising fin
ger in opposition.
The Preaching and Practice Of Mr..
Jackson, when closely compared, and taken
in connection with the standing he has al
ways maintained with his political friends
leads, inevitably, to one of two unpleasant
conclusions, and at this point we leave our
readers to make up their own minds.
DFWe publish on the first page of to.
days paper, letter from John p. Van
Ness, addressed to the President, remon-
stra,ng against the removal of c. P. Van
Ness from the office of Collector of the
port Of New York. There has been des-
perate struggle going on for some time be-
tween the old Hunkers of New York, and
the Calhounites, in reference to this office.
The old Hunkers demanded the removal
and the Calhounites opposed it. The old
Hunkers have triumphed in this instance.
and Judging from the signs of the times,
Polk, is fast getting himself into trouble.
AT meeting recently held in Washington
City, Mr.. Rives, of the "Globe," made
speech, in which he brought some new
and interesting facts to light. A copy Of
Mr.. RS speech was requested for publica.
ton, and furnished; after it had been set uE
in type, at the "Union" office, it was sup
pressed-at the instance of the President
it is said. In this speech we learn from the
New York Courier
"Mr. Rives called in question the propriety o
certain acts on the part OF the President, and
embodied certain letters from Gen. Jackson cen
surfing The President for those acts in very EN-
phac and explicit language. The assertion wa:
distinctly made by Gen. Jackson that in dis
cardng Mr.. Blair Mr.. Polk had done foolish
and senseless act-that he had done it at the die
tation of Calhoun and Tyler clques, and tina
his object was TO divide and distract the demo
cratic party. These accusations carry force ant
weight, inasmuch as they come from the mar
: whose favor had given Mr.. Polk his high posi-
ton; whose will has always been 10 him impera

friendship and effective services, to Judge OF tn
motives and proprety Of such an act. The,

Gen. Jackson from the suspicion, entertained BY
many OF his political friends, that he had some
share in the singular dismissal OF Mr. Blair -

his friends, and Selling upon the occasion Of hi!

This speech will be looked for with in
terest, and a determination on the part O
the Union" TO suppress it, will make TIT
"Globe" faction more anxious 10 place
before the public-we shall be disappointed
therefore, if it is not soon before the pub
lie.
