JACKSON AND INTERVENTION.

The following is an extract from the speech of
Col. SMALL, at the late Kossuth meeting in Phila-
delpha:
. What do you think the immortal Jackson would have
said upon the subject Of non-nteryenton at this time
immense cheering can imagine, gentlemen The old
hero, watching with deep interest the struggle between
Hungary and Austria and the approach Of the Russian
Bear to take part against the gallant Magyar would
have said at to the latter Halt there Mr. Bear
this is none of your business wei just draw ring and
show the parties fair play but you do mix in look out
for yoursef I'll be in, too, by the Eternal The APP
pause and cheering at this remark were of the most
thusiastic character
What JACKSON "would have said" is a matter
of speculation, (says the Providence Journal, in
which other men can calculate as we'll as MIR. Small
What he did sag is on record, and we have already
published his emphatic disavowal of the policy of
intervention. In his fourth annual Message this
passage occurs
" In the view / have given of our connexions with
foreign Powers illusions have been made to their
domestic disturbances foreign wars, to their re-
volutions or dissensions 1t may be proper to OBJ
serve that this is done solely in cases where those
events affect our political relations with them, or
to show their operation on our commerce. Further
than this it is neither policy nor our right to
interfere. Our best wishes on all occasions our
good Offices when required, will be afforded to pro-
mote the domestic tranquility and foreign peace Of
all nations with whom we have any intercourse
Any Intervention a. their affairs further than THIS,
EVEN BY THE EXPRESSION OF AN OFFICIAL oPIN-
ION, as contrary to principles Of national poll
cy, and aoiU Arrays be avoided"

Kossuth's companions not as discreet as he is,
since their arrival in this country. Although Kos
suth himself is not to be blamed for the promulga-
ton of opinions by two of his followers, in New
York. the public will think it strange that foreigners
just landed on shores and to whom an asylum
from oppression has been given, should begin to
talk about our " compromise laws" the extradtion
of our slaves, and reform in our land laws. There
is degree of impertinence in this proceeding which
will most assurcdly be resisted by the intelligent
people of this country Indeed it is hard to treat
the subject with becoming moderation. Humility
would not only be commendabe, in the case of these
Hungarians, but it would enlist sympathy and sup
port. Impudcnce and forwardness will, on the con-
trary, create aversion and disgust. Gazette.

Gov. Jones of Tennessee,

The following caustic reply to some of x-Gov
ernor Jones's slang, we copy from the Pennsy-
vanian. 1t not only takes the buttons from
Jones' apparel, but leaves him in a state pitful to
behold:
'sIaCU tear off his Buttons and his Epaulets."
Such is the digni6ed language of Senator James
G. Jones, of Tennessee, in his late speeches
against Franklin Pierce the democratic candidate
for President of the United States The phrase
is neither so classic as if it had been Written by
Macaulay, elegant as if it had been spoken
by Everett; but it serves as good key to coarse
mind and it is valuable as showing how easy it is
for Senator to draggle his toga in the muddy
pool of SANDER Senator Jones has penchant
for tearing off the buttons of great men; but his
effort has not always been successful. He tried
it upon General Jackson, and was himself nearly
Drained before he got through with the operation
His last effort, against Mr.. Fillmore and Mr..
Webster, was more successful; but we believe
that their friends do not think themselves dsgraced
because they were stabbed by such hands as his.
Senator Jones is one of your robustous politicians
and is nothing if not furious. He came to Wash
ington with the reputation of great orator; but
poor Micaw6er, who made speeches to everybody
and about everything, never made more shame
less failure than Jones in his tempestuous TRADE
against Kossuth He almost roared the ribbons
off the ladies' bonnets in the galleries, and, if he
oeoPSN''
for we do not know, that he tore his linen. The
fact is, he is filter to to maudlin meet
ings than to silent and sober Senates.
And why will our senatorial Cicero tear off the
buttons and epaulets of General Pierce? Simply
because the democrats call their candidate-Gen-
eral He wants that title abandoned, or else the
buttons must go. Now we not much enamor-
ed of any mere title, or of military trappings gen.
orally; but if Senator Jones will agree to our pro
nosal in regard to General Scott, we pledge Gen
eral Pierce to drop his military name, now. hence
forward and forever. Our suggestion is, that IL
consideration of the friends of Franklin Pierce
dropping the title of General, the friends of Gen
eral Scott shall drop their absurd claim that he i
fit to be President of the United States. While
Senator Jones, therefore, takes off the mere but
tons from the democratic candidate, the democrat
will give to General Scott his whole stock in trade
epaulets, buttons, yellow plume and all Frank
lin Pierce could survive without the title of Gen
eral; but how could Winfield Scott get alon!
stripped of his sign of authority? Asplain Frank
lin Pierce, the advocates of the democratic candi
date could appeal to their country on the score
his well-known and widely admitted abilities; hi

services for years in the national councils; his
modest department. his consistent decenson of
all official station; and his elevated, manly, and
generous impulses. Strip General Scott of his
military titles and claim, and what spectacle
would be present !! Without the slightest expert
ence in the science of government: without the
slightest taste or capacity for the duties of the
Presidency; with several opinions on each of the
great questions of the day; surrounded by band
of reckless demagogues, all bent upon their own
interests, at the risk Of their country's welfare;
and the people would appreciate how often the
glare of military renown hides from the public eye
the deficiencies of candidate for national favor,
and how certain stern reality is to expose the dis
qualifications and disabilities always sure to be
made manifest whenever such aspirants are tested.
Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1852-08-07
The reign of Epaulets:

General Scott has been nominated by the whg
party because of his military fame. This is the
second military candidate, within two admnistra-
tions, the wings have put in nomination. 1t is too
apparent to every man of ordinary intelligence to
need any elucidation from us that the whig party
of this country has become most corrupt faction,
seeking promotion solely to dispense the fifty mill
ions of governmental expenses. The warrior has
outstriped the statesman-the sword is mightier
than the PEN The army is hereafter to be the
school in which whig aspirants for the presidency
are to receive their training We regard this spir-
it as one of the sure precusors of the downfall
of this government, if the people do not crush it
at once The election of General Taylor, a good
General and unquestionably clever man, has
been the cause of more evil to this government
than all the msrule and disaster which have at
tended every other presidential administration
since the first. The same elements which were
put in requistion to elect Gen. TAYLOR have been
used to secure the nomination of Scott, and the
same influences will be brought to bear to secure
his election. VIM. II. Seward is to Gen. Scott
precisely what Truman Smith was to Gen. Taylor
his mouth piece and tool-the agent or contrac-
or-general who is expected to do all the dirty
work of the party. With the endorsement of Sc
ward and the eclat of epaulets and martial glory,
General Scott expects to pave his way to the head
of the nation as he is now the head of the army
| The simple fact is, we fear Scott. We would no
for anything have him rule this country four years
Accustomed to command, without any of those
moral restraints which guard the liberties of the
people, Gen. Scott would prove bad heltnsmar
in the storms which threaten the country. Tt
such as desire splendid government and bank
rupt treasury, Gen. Scott. is the man for them
but we believe the American people. by over
whelming majority, viii refuse to place over then
man who had been bred in the army, and who's
fondness for display is the paramount passion il
his bosom. No more military Presidents is tn
common sentiment of the American patriots.
