JACKSON AND THE SENATE.
The appointment of Gwinn by General
Jackson, iti defiance of two rejections by
the Senate, is iti perfi ct keeping with his
whole conduct towards that body’ from
the commencement of his administration ;
which has been a persovering course of
studied insult and contumely. Ilis con-
duct towards the Senate-if it stood alone
-—ifthero were no other malfeasaitces to
charge him with—ought to bring upon his
head the unqualified indignation of a peo-
ple who chc.-rish any respect or regard for
the Constitution under which they live,-—
llis administraiionwas begun by a gross
and premeditated insult to the Senate.-—
lle kept that body in session from the 3d
confirming such new appointments as are
usually made on the organization ofa new
adtninistration. On the 17th, he inform-
ed the Senate by Message, that he had no
further busines to lay before them l The
Senate adjourned. In three days after-
wards, s long list ofappointments was an-
nounced in the oflicial paper, all t f which
required the sanction of the Senate. A
interposed in selecting, to the bench, men
of the first talents and integrity. , '1'-he ef-
fect of such a constitutional provision is
obvious. By it Congress, in a considera-
ble degree, would be free. from that con-
nection with the executive departinenf,
which at present, gives strong ground of
apprehension andjealou.-y on the pm; (,1

less interrupted by hasty feelings, and pa.-
ty (’XCllEll:elll8. Calculations from Ill-
tiigue or management, would fail; nor
would their deliberations, or their investi-
gation of subjects consume soimuch time.
But ifthis change in the constitution should
not be obtained, and important appoint-
ments con-tinuo to devolve on Representa-
tives in Congress, it requires no depth of
lliouglit to be convinced. that corruption
will become the order of the day,'and that,
under the garb of coiiscieutii.-us sacrifices

the llt‘xl session, James B. Garlftler. Of
Ohio, was nominated to tho.-Seittite as Re-
gister of a Land Office, in that state !—
'l‘he character of this man was proved by
the testimmy of the senator from Ohio,
to be so vile, that he was rejected by
the unanimous vote ofthe Senate. Im-
nicdiately upon the adjournment of the
Senate, Jackson appointed him an Indian
Agent, and before his nomination had
been made to the Senate, made a treaty
with the Ohio Indians, by which lltuy ce-
ded l0 llle Ulllfcd States all their lands in
Ohio, in exchange for a tract west of Mis-
sissippi. It has been ascertained that the
United States had no title to {the lands
thus ceded, having previously ceded them
to other Indians ! When the treaty was
before the Senate, Mr. Ewing the. Sena-
tor from Ohio, dent-unccd it as afivzud.

POLI'l‘iCAL CREEll}S.
As has been already t'llcllll0llC.l, a large
and respectable meeting of tizens was
held at Sliocco Springs, ‘.Vari,n county,
N')l'llI Carolina, on the 25111 Angus’, at
which it was agrotd to coir pond with
Philip P. Barbour and Martin Van Bu-
ren, Esqrs., candidates for thel,Vice Pres-
idr-.nc_v, reqvcsing their opinions on the
protecting system, internal imrlovcments,
the United States Bank, and Pufallificaiioti.
Mr. Barbour promptly l'epl_le(i§-loll the 9th
I September, but the publicatio was defor-
rcd, in expectation of receivit. also that
of Mr. Van Bureu. The Argth ofSatui'-
day contains the latter documcit; which
will reach the South too late ti o
ally circulated before the e.-2

‘North as far as practicable. *7" , ‘«'..‘-""
Judge Barbour is perlectl~j__fi"a,i1l§‘, r'.n:t-

decidedly opposed to the priiu:l';a_l‘e of pro-
teciion, and the whole system ; :5 as being
a violation ofthe spirit of the Constitu-
tion. As to Internal Improveineuts, he
considers “ that whole svstem,,\vlteit at-
tempted to bcexecutccl by Coi)gi{ss,\i*lietlt-
er in the form of'coitstructicn oroppropri-
atimz by way of szibsci-ipticri tale/tat is to
be t:0Il..stl‘tl(.‘tt!tf by others, as unconstitution-
id, as highly inexpedient, and ps calcula-
ted to undermine the iudependonce ofthe
States and the virtue ofthegpcoplt-, in a
struggle for the spoils of tlio_:"i‘rcasury.”——
lleconsidors the Bank ofthe United States
as “being altogether beyoti-l the constitu-
tional competency of Coiigrei-s." OfNul-
litication,he says :——“I utidcrstand this
term as meant to import the right of the
several States, by iiitprposing their sove-
reign power, to declare void, within their
respective borders, any law which they
may think unconstitutional. Thus tinder-
standing it, I am opposed to it." But the
learned Judge maintains the “right of Se-
ce.ssz'an,” in cases where It State chooses
to consider its “ reserved riglitsi’ invaded
by the General" -‘Gioveiiiniciit. .' It is but
l'lobson’s choice between Secession and
Nullitication; andofthe two doctrines the
latter is most subtle and ingenious. So
much for the .Iudge’s sentiments. Mr.
Van Buren's are such as he might be ex-
pected to express at present,upouc0nsiraint.
Ile stretches and adapts his creed as far
as possible to the Southern. He refers
paricularly to the topics oftho Tariff,
Internal lmproveincnts, the United States
Bank and Nullificatiou. llis sclteme for
the protection of domestic manufactures is
pinched and qualified to atluxioti. He
acknowledges that he " believes the es-
tablishment of commercial regtflations,
wirh a view to the encourageinent of dc-
meslic products, to be within the constitu-
tional power of Congies-,”-but then “ the
power imist not be exercised with an op-
pressive inequality upon any portion of
WT Citizens, or for the advantage of one
st ction ofour Union in })ruferenéb§l0 an-
other.” He would havc—-“ a "preference

we find, that before his adttiillls-‘-'3ll0“
was three weeks old, Geri. Jackson‘ ll'*d
begun to usurp the powers of the Sen.1‘l0
and to trample down the barriers of the
constitution. Acting upon the principle,
that he had ob:aiuod tho governmt-at by
conquest, and not by election, he at once
assumed the light of a cui\'Qunai«;n, to take
all powers into his own hands and distri-

operation of the Maysville Veto Message,
and, in fact, would withliold all aid from

Nullilication he says-"-
“ lam unreservedly opposed to a re-

ident to sign the bill, passed for that pur-
pzn-‘e,at the last session of Congress, as-
wcll on account of the constitutionality,
as the impolicy otiiis provisions.
“ I amcqually opposed to the principle
of Nulliftcaiiou, as it is called. With
whatever sincerity that doctrine may be
enter-taiiietl by others, I believe that it is
t.-tltliely destitute of unconstitutional au-
thority, and that it could not be adopted,
uitliout drawing after it ilie ultimate, but
certain destruction of the confederacy.”
This is Mr. Van Baron's creed now. ’[‘o
show what his opinion of the Maysvillc Veto
was in 1830, 7‘/temaa IV. Gilmer, Esq. has
published in the Charlottesville Advocate,
the following communication from Col. Sam.-
utl P. Carson, a member of Congress from
North Carolina. Mr. Carson's statement
was "furnished to the Editor oftlie Globe in
August last, but that print has thought fit to
withhold it from the public.
I called to see Mr. Van Baron, and, a-
mong other subjects, we held a conversa-
tion relative to the 1‘-‘laysville road bill,
which hadjmt been sent to the President
for his sanction. The conversation, as
nearly as I can recollect, was as follows :
I r9‘tna:kcd that I hoped the President
would veto that bill. Mr. Van Buren an-
swered that E‘ that was impossible," I
asked how impossible? “ Because the
principle (be said) in some way or other,
had been sanctioned by every administra-
tion since the comrnenceineat of the Gov-
ernment.” .
I answered, admitting the principle had
been sanctioned by his predecessors, that
formed no obligation on General Jackson
to sign the bill if he believed it unconstitu-
flfrfllll. ' J
He remarked that “ the obligation was
the maiiy precedents for such works,” and
further be said, “ it would lose its the
States of Kciitiiclty and Ohio, and proba-
bly Iudiana and Piennsylvania." I then
rose from my seat and with seine warmth
said, “ is it possible, Mr. Van Buren, that
you place popular considerations in the
scale against high and elevated principle,
&c.” Ilothcn remail-zed sornething a-
bout the warmth of my feelings, rashncss,
&e. unnecessary to be repeated.
This ended the conversation with Mr.
Van Buren, and is the substance, although
it may not be verbatim ct litcratim. I
left him with the decided belief, as the
conversation warranted, that he was op-
posed to the veto. I have heard it sug-
gested, howevcr,(I don’t know upon what
authority,) that he was not opp0sed_tn it in
cabinet council ; and this makes it proper
for me to state a conversation held subse-
quently to the veto message. I A
I happened to be at the President's
seine few evenings after the Veto Message,
and found Mr. Van Buren in conversation
with Colonel J. K. Polk, of Tennessee,
upon that subjec‘. Among other things,
he teinarked that he believed it would be
(the Veto) one of the most popular acts of
the adiniiiistration--to which Col. P. as-
sented. I then said to Mr. Van Buren
that I was gratified to perceive his cliangc
of opinion.
He said, “ Ilow change 1” Why, sir,
when I held a conversation with you some
days since, you then expressed it as your
opinion that it would lose the General sev-
eral states, Rzc. He answered laughingly,
“ that he was only trying to find out my 0-
pinion”--io which I replied, “ our efforts
were mutual, for I had visited hint for the
same purpose.” SAM. P. CARSON.
From the New York Courier and Enquirer.
In the Globe of Saturday, we find the fol-
lowing attack upoti Mr. Gouvernour :
“ IV e angry levers mcrin not haywe say.’’—
Mr. Gouvcrneur says, “ the editor of the Tel-
egraph makes a most unmerited and unwor-
thy nttack upon me, fall ofinsinuations of the
most degrading character.”
This impertment and contemptuous treat-
ment of a very grave subject, has drawn from
Mr. Gouveriieur the following severe but
merited reply.
FRANCIS I’. BLAIR, Esq.
Editor of the Globe, Washington.
Sir : Driven as you seem to acknowl-
edge, from the defence of an injurous as-
sertion, which you have not the magna-
nimity to withdraw, in your paper of the
6th you have commenced an attempt to
be personal with me. How far you may
be disposed to advance in that position,
I am unable to predict : but lost you may
be mistaken in the result, I wish you to
distiac ly understand, that I defy your ina-
lignity in any shape.‘-
Iu what has passed, I have experienced
one great cause of embzirrassinent, which,
ifit has not occurred to yourself, has not
been unnoticed by others. The real
friends ofGeiieral Jackson have long ', te-
gardcd you with suspicion. They are at
a loss, wlietlier to consider you as a rash &.
unprinciplod advocate enlistod for pay, or
a base dcserter from their enemies, disgui-
sed as a spy in their camp. They learnt
at school that an ungrateful viper once
stung the bosom which warmed it into
life. They draw from it the moral, that
the car who bites one master, ought to be
muzzled when he follows another. —
’l'he generous and coiitiding Acteon,
was destroyed by his own hungry, but
most ungreatful hounds. Fables are as
often facts, as the striking lessons they in-
culcate come too late. Even Arnold,
proti:ing by the privileges which his trea-,
sou conferred,» has been seen to show his
face before the British court. Ila stood
like a blasted monument of peiftdy and
It is a fair priiiciple oljustice,_tliat they
who keep a dangerous animal, must pre-
scribe limits to his propensities, or be held
responsible fit the damages which may en-
sue, if he be permitted to trespass on oth-
ers. If a few individuals even should
choose to keep a mischievous donkey in
their precincts, to amuse themselves with
the size of his ears, they would have no
:igbt to disturb the peace of a neighbor-
hood with his discordant notes, nor per-
mit him to mar the beauty of every pleas-
ant scene, by the continual obtrusioii of
his unsightly frame. Contpaiisons are
admitted to be odious: they are sometimes
good illustrations, and sigiially striking.
A foolish and impetuous you-h once
burnt down a temqleto establish a claim
to im:i.ottality. Infamous as the act may
have been, he would hear the test of a
comparison in any age with that wrech,
who places all his hope to live hereafter
in the successful perpetration of one trea-
son, aided by the strong suspicion of being
deeply engaged in another.
You have succeeded in establishing
strong claims to fame. Your epitaph is"
written by the present age—it will belong
to posterity to find it a place. lts emblem
shall be the rivcn oak upon a blasted heath,

JACKSON OFFICE Ho1.nr«:1is.—Wo cannot,
just at the present time, conceive of a char-
acter more deserving of pity than a Jack-
son orlice holder. In the’ first place, we
may be certain, that any man, who is per-
mitted to hold oflire under the General,
has not been rewarded for nothing. He
has labored .._hard for his raftitze ; and wear
and tear of concience not included- 'II's
place has generally cost as ninth as it
comes to. Three or four years of hard
political service; three or four years of
mean subserviency to party leaders; three
or four years ofanxious watching and ex-
pectation ;——all this would hardly be paid
for, by his being sure of a pension out of
the public funds for life.
But far different from this is the fault: of
:1 Jackson cflico ltolcler. He is suffered to
enjoy his place but three or f-.ur years,
its emoluments all the wile sadly ¢litninish-
ed by the contribution to the party fund he
has been called on to pay ; he has butju-st
come into his oflice—just beginning to feel
the pleasure and enjoy the comfort of liv-
ing upon the public—and just flattering
himself, that he is sure of anntlior four
years,-—when, lo! presto ! suddenly the
scene changes ; Jackson is pushed out at
one door ; he is kicked out the other : his
robes of oflico change, as ifby inaigic, in-
to rags. He shrinks suddenly into his na-
tive insiguificance, and is obliged to corti-
mence anew his career of political adven-
ture, with nothing to set upop, except his
original stock ofV'.'nipu'tleuc.o atnd iiypocri-
s_v.—-Boston Atlass. '
The last number oftho American Quar-
terly lieview contains among other artic-
les, :1 review of Col. -Stone’s Letters on
Masonry and Anti-Masonry, in the course
of which the reviewer expresses these o-
pinions:
“ For ourselves, we areneitlior Masons
nor Anti-masons. We lfavo nothing in
common with either, sgvc that we share
with both-—t_he boast of citizenship, anti
the lot of humanity. We have no pride
ofopinion, no prejudice of association, to
uteke us take part with the Masons ; nor
have we shared the feverish excitement,
which has attended the growth of Anti-ina-
sonry. We feel ourselves therefore able
to dccideimpartially in this matter. On
a calm review oftlie work before us,taken
in connexion with the history of secret as-
sociations in other times and countries at
which we have glanced in tho commence-
ment of this ‘article, we see no reason to
exempt Freemasonry from the general
condemnation which experience has pas-
sed on such institutions. In passingjudg-
ment on masonry, we do not condemn m:i-
sons, we cannot do that, while we see up-
on the rolls oftheir lo-‘gas many of the
brightest and purest names our country
can boast. But not even the light oftheir
virtues can blind as to the spots that dar-
ken the escutcheon of the society, which
ranks them often with a very dubious ti-
tle,’among her sons. It is our solemn
andjtlelibei-ate opinion, that Freemasonry
as it now stands before the American pub-
lic invested with high sounding names and
petty muinmery, a buneful political_influ-
eace, and some ineffaccable crimes, is not
merely a puoiile and useless institution,
far behind the spirit and intelligence ofthe
age, but that it is also opposed by public
sentiment, and is entirely inconsistent with
our republic an institutions ; worst of all,
its character is tainted by perjury and trea-
sen, its garments are stained with blood.
It istherefore, we desire that the institu-
tionmay be abolished. lftho revelations
lately made of its character are full, there
is surely nothing in the institution to mak'o
us wish to prolong its existence for a sin-
gle day. If these revelations have not
been full, then that which is still behind is
either good or bad ; if good, every citi-
zen of the republic has a right to share it;
if bad let the institution be suppressed.”

The Editor ofthe Albany A;-gui,._u«,o au.
tocrat of the Jacltsbn corps editorial in New
York-—-has recently been prosecuted fir an
atrocious libel. He charged one of the pup.
est citizens of New York with "having, been
bought up by the l}anl:._ of the United States,
and with travelling the country in the distri-
SINGULAR DISCLOSURE.
Thcgcod citizens ofAlbany were tlirotvri
into a titter on Thursday last, by the publica-
tion of the following document in the Evening
Journal ofthat city. Nor, according to thé
Albany Daily Advertiser, had the laughter
subsided in the last advices-but, on the con-
trary, the more the subject was discutsed, the
more numerous and broader were the grins.
VV e have hesitated about publishing the mat-'
ter referred to, becatise We supposed there_
must be some mistake in the case. Under-
stamling, however, beyond doubt, that th
account is in sober eaincst an extract fro
the records of the Comptt‘oll_er’s oflice—tbat:
such an account has actually been rendered
by the -' Spoils” candidate for Governor-
and that it has been audited by the “ sp‘o.v._'*__
Comptroller, and paid by the " Spoils” Treas-
urer ofthe State, we comply with the request;
of our Albany friends in giving it: publicity
here. it is a small matter. But the rnot'e'§

pha liiib-a-Jiib and his brceches, bade fair to
floiirisli in the annals ufthis great nation, “ till
the last i*)'ll.ti)lt3 of r- corded time.”
Upon what princ'ples, or rather upon what
coostructioii of the ccustitutioii the Coinpti'ol-
It-r nil.»-.ve.l some of these items we are at :1 -
2os- to conceive. We incline to the opinion,-
that the Jppl‘0pl‘ltlll0lt for .s~/utving shonl.l have
been vetoed, as it is clearly in the wrong b'ill;'-
IIIP if Mr. t\'larcy shaves himself, and on this
occasio I had left his razors at home, the [ll-
cltcs was cle_at'ly his, and the public treasury
ought. not to stiffer in cunseqiteiice. ii on the
contrary a barber shaves him habitually, he
oiiviou.-ly incurred an unusual expense whicit
he woul-.1 not have citcountered at hoine.—
'l‘hr.-re is It rcdceiniizg feature about this “ fair
bitsiiie-.s transaction," hotvevcr, and the Sen-
ator shall have the full benefit of it. It. is
clear from the amount paid for shaving, euinx
pared with the outlay for washing, &c. that
the judge was at great pains to get his sllzaving
done at the cheapest possible role, in order to
protect’. the state treasury as far as he could.
It is a fair iiiferenoe, that thejudge was s'iia- ,
red as seldotn as iossible, and at three cents
a time.
As for the “ work done" on the pantaloous,
the Comptroller was bound to require selli-
ClClll.VUut.‘llCl'1-‘, that the abrasloti, fissure, rent,
or whatever damage it was for which this
appropriation was asked, was bonit/idc, and in
the service ofthe people. The matter should
be looked into next session, for this wantor
expo-iiditure of the public money in the pre-
sent rctluce-.l state oftho treasury, ‘o-aglit not
to be tolerated.
The Panlnloons Canr!idatc.— A great many
persons have declared that ifit. :5 true that
M r. Marcy has made the peop‘c of this state
pay for his shaving, boot blacking. mending
his pantaloons, and the wine which he drank,
they will not support him for Governor. The
Jacksonians in this city deny that he did so,
but the proof is to be found 1.‘? the Journals of
the last House of Assembly, and the items are
sworn to by Mr. Marcy himself! XYZ.

R.EFlNEMEN'I‘ IN CRUELTY. .
From the following article, which we copy
from the Savannah Georgian ofthe 4th unit.
it will be seen that the imprisoncrl missiona-'
ries have been compcllczl to aid in (:9nslrucling'
'ru:«; LOTTERY \Vl]EEL which. is to distributi. -
mung the people of Georgia the lands and go ,
which they have plimdcrctlfrom the Charo/cee
that the editor ofthe Savaimali Georgian con-
siders this circumstance a fit subject. for lex-
ultution ! t _ -
L.-tin) Lo"r'rsr.rr.s.-—'We have mentioned
that the lotteries are to be commenced on the _
‘2~2d inst. The following, as we learn fr_"To_
Milledgevillc, are the numberofdraws plac
in the wheels, and the prizes to be awar
to them. viz. '
In the Land Lottery, in‘ which the pri
are square lots of 150 acres each ; names gi «
en in 85,000; prizes, t8.300; or about f
and a half blanks to a prize.
In the Gold Lottery, in which the prize
are square lots of'40 acres each : names giv-
en in, 133,000 ; prizes, 35,000, or nearly four
blanks to a prize. '
.The commissioners have been industrious
to prepare such a mass of tickets (which are‘.
not printed,) together with the ‘numerical
hooks necessary, in so short a period. The
wheels containing the names are ofgrcat c‘Et4
cuinference, and so weighty with the tickets
‘that a strong man can hardly turn them. They 1
were manufactured in the ‘penitentiary, and
these important aids towards a speedy distri- I 4
billion of Cherokee territory, were const_rue- '
ted with the united help of two persons, whose‘ - ,
stubborn zeal in asserting its in.lepeodeti”eef,’;
has thus made them remote agents in its dis-,
rnemborment—we mean the missionaries.-—"‘
Great accuracy being requisite in the registry,. ‘
it; will hardly be possible to draw mqrothaa
250 or 300 names per day, so that with .t_li'ei4
latter number it will occupy seven months,-.
before the prizes are exhausted and the lotte-g
ry finished. It is proposed to draw a day ‘al-
ternately from the wheels of each.
' The Jlfissionaries.-—'I‘he Globe now pro’-..
tends that Gcn. Jackson never has refused to‘ .-
execute the laws, or to enforce the decisiorr
of the Supreme Court. it the case of the mis-
sionaries. It is as notorious as is that: deck:
ion itself‘, that Gen. Jackson, from the peri-
od when it was made. has been unequivocal
in his denunciations of -he Court, on account
of that opinion ; which one of‘ his cabinet re-
viewed at large in the Globe, and which re-
vicw has been the text of those who condemn
the Court, and support Georgia. Why does
the Globe now attempt to produce a belief
thas "Gen. Jackson will attempt. ‘to coerce
Georgia, and release the Missionaries ? _ The
answer is : The elections are over in Geoiiia-in",
and the Kitchen Cabinet are alarmed forotho
bution oflargesses or bribe to others, from
