Il seems that President Polk cannot please
the wings, any way he can fix i. Some time
ago they were much shocked at The dea e his
being the mere instrument Of Gen. Jackson
recent events having shown he asnot the IN
otrument Of Gen'l Jackson, they have found,
in the dismissal Of Major Lewis from office, an
other ca use for sullen anger. Major Lewis has
been well fed from the public crib for more than
uiTtvuears,and the vii igs having shown thathe
is Democrat, and that during the whole 'ime
he was in office he 'senjoyed the friendship ana
Csteem of tho Old Hero," they are trying TO
make il appear that he is much abused ana
prosecuted man. Whigery is driven to the
wall when they resort TO such trititng affair
as this TO use as capital against Mr.. Polk.


We saw in the last Port Gibson Herald,
very abusive article on this subject, IN when
much sympathy is expressed for Mr.. Lewis,
and no little odium is cast upon Mr. Polk for
having turned him out Of Office contrary to the
wishes Of Gen. jackson. After Gen. Jackson
has gone 10 his grave, in order TO gain the con-
sOling influence of the wings, and to injure o
long tried and steemed friend of Gen. Jackson
Mr. Lewis publishes the venerable patrOt's
prirale letter. The Old Hero would have
scorned such an act. This conduct Of Mr.
Lewis shows that Mr. Polk knows him better
than the Old Hero himself did; that being
father-in-law of the French minister, ne might
letout the secrets of Government, which ough'
not TO be told. The President was elected 70
carry out the great principles Of the Democratic
party; and if, in doing so he saw proper to dis
pense with Mr.. Lewis, we can see no good
reason why the lchigs should manifest 50 much
interest in the matter-for it is unusual with
them to cherish sympathy for discarded office
holder, particularly if he be democrat Mr.
Lewis received Government favOrS long enough.
He is now Withdrawn, and what is i to the
country! Lei the administration carry out the
great me asures for which it was brought into
power; and let dismissed officers kick up all
manner Of fuss about their fate, and let the
whigs svmpnthise. James X. Polk was not
elected that they might hold Office; and the
country has no interest in the matter.
