We concur entirely with the views taken by the Spirit of the Age in the appointment of MT JACKSON to the Presidency of the Senate. That his election to that station should have given offence to any por- ton of our citizens is matter of surprise considering the long lime he has been in the Senate, an the vi- ganoe with which he has so uniformly guarded their interests and their rights in council as well as out of it. MT JACKSON has violated no law expressed or im- piled, fthe State othe United Statesln allowing himself to be placed in the Senatorial chair by the unanimous vote of that body. It is f,.i.of .:- that he was born in the Island which for half tury past has drank freely the blood ofher martyred Emmets, Orrs, OConners and Fitzgeralds. It is no fault of his that he sided with the republican party in Ireland, and was compelled by tine events of revo- iutionary struggle to quit tho land ofhis nativity .where government displays its power over man as over the beast of the forest and which lifts its hand wrath against the life of its fellow man, who happens

 to believe little little lsss than government standard" Nor did Mir JACKSON violate any law in coming to the United States, at that time the only refuge persecuted man which the whole earth af forded. He came like many of the exes from the intolerance of the Old World to settle among us to redeem the name dignify the nature of man, and to enjoy whatever protection our government profers to all who choose to comply with its ordinances. And what are the terms' Congress has prescribed them and they are familiar to al An emigraut wishing to exercise the rights ofctzenship in the U

 States, must have his name registered for naturaza

 ton at ofce and at the expiration of five years he becomes citizen. Mir JACKSON has done this more than thirty years ago, and to all ntents and purposes much citizen of the U. States as wife,

 children and friends can make man. He settled among us in the morning of life, and long before Alabama had any existence on the map of these States. He exercised the rights of citizenship for more than quarter of century and it is the choice of his adopted country that he should do so But after Alabama is admitted into the confederacy, he

 is chosen to her Senate by the citizens of Lauderdae county, and in that capacity he serves them with a6ity, diligence and discretion, for period of ter years. Where then can be the reasonable objection to his acting President of the sonate if s-ei. Du the pleasure of that body, even Governor of the State, Eff it should please God to take Judge Gayle from us?" As neither the laws the voice of the people, as expressed through their agents, require that Mir JACKSON should accede to the unrea sonabe proposition contained in the last Huntsville Demo- crat (merey to guard against contingency not con tempated by the Constitution,) trust he will not resign any appointment which he has ftrly obtain ed and which would be calculated to diminish his usefulness
