pROsCRIPTIyE REFORM.

PROsCRIPTIvE REFORM.
| On the Sd Of November, 1923, as soon as the
election of General Jackson was known here, the
United States Telegraph, the organ of the party in
this city, said We know not what line of policy
General Jackson will adopt take it for granted,
however, that he will reward his friends and punish
his enemies" "The people have set him
an example, which we trust he will follow up.n
He has been selected by them as the agent of
reformation" This is, no doubt, the place where
the Union gets its idea of 60 Friends to reward and
enemies 10 punish
The victory Of New Orleans was celebrated here
on the 9Th of January, 1929 The following is
from the Telegraph of the 18th January, giving
