Some ultra Republican papers. when com
menting on the course of Mr.. BUCHANAN, durinl
the interval between the Presidential election
and the 4th Of March 1861, with reference t.
the rebellion in the Cotton States, were in the
constant habit of deploring that we had not a
JACKSON In the Chair Of State. 40 that JAcE
SON we're now President" quoth these Repnbli-
can oracles. IL was very true that Gen. JACK
SON was not President; and in our opinion
equally true that Mr.. BUcHASAS did not fill the
full measure of President, if we take Old
Hickory as the standard. From the days Of
JEFEEHsoE TO the present time, we have had
but one AEDRRw Jackson ia the White House,
and 1t Is not probable we shall have another
very soon. Such men do not often appear.
While denouncing BUCHANAN, (Which we think
was quite ungraseful on the part of the Repub,
licans) the most ardent irrspressibles told MS
that they had just elected o second JACKSON, and
that honest Old ABE LINCOLN, the Rail Splitter,
would, very soon after his Inauguration, rebuke
treason by hanging the traitors. He would
teach South Carolina a lesson, they said, and, by
bis bold and courageous policy, crush out rebel
lion in the South in double quick time. He
would do as JACKSON did on former occasion,
when South Carolina rebelled against the laws
Of Congress, and with equal success. He would
overthrow secession with the same promptitrde
that JACKSON did, Modification. Thus did our
Republican oracles bluster, brag and bloviate--'
but they have ceased to do so any longer.
The Illinois Rail Splitter has been in the
White House nearly four weeks, surrounded by
the CHAsEs, SEwARps, CAMEaoNs, and all the
chief menof tho Republican school, and in that
time, he and bis advisers have demonstrated TO
the world that they are all destitute of capacity;
that they have no reverence for the Union or
veueration for the Constitution; that the laws
may, for all they care, be trampled under foot
withimpunity. Iufact, instead Of checking the
rebellion in the South, they have encouraged
and promoted IL; and, to ell appearance, the Ad
ministration Is, now pursuing a, policy which
will result In the permanent dissolution Of the
Union, and the formation Of two or more con-
fsderacies Instead of LINCOLN being second
JACKSON, he turns out to bel most Transparent
hunbug, wholly destitute OF any Of the Execu
tive qualities OF the Administrative talent 90
necessary iu the character of President.
Gen. Jackson was man whose soul was flled
with burning love for his country. He met
all the assauIts upon the integrity Of the Union
with spaziotic, energetic line Of policy, and in
that line hsnever;wsvered. Whether on The field
Of battle, ina territory full Of traitors, or in
the Executive Chair he was prompt to resist
any demonstrations againss the Union Of the
States. and ready at all times to lay . heavy
hand upon traitors.
With such characteristics, he was nevertheless
alwaysteady 10 hear the complaints Of eyery
psrson Or section. and 70 treat them With due
sonsIderetIon. Thus, while 10 promptly put
the Army and Navy both 10 motion 10 resist
