 1 Mr. EDTToR- Every one knows what

 9 pore and disinterested set of politicians,

 offlee- holders and nHice-snekers. we have

 us ii 4 iiis5;iiissi aff not 50 bbigot-

 ed as 10 revile every man who differs from

 me in opinion, and is honest in his opposi-

 ton to the Administration; but, notwith-

 standing, in choosing my friends I prefer

 taking them from among the real Simon l Pufes, the stanch old democratic Republic

 ans, the true friends and lovers of the old

 General. Well, sir, made niy choice found set of men, either holders or ex- l pedants of office, all clamerous friends of those in power, disinterested and virtuous

 patriots, whose whole soul was their coun- try's, and who next after their Creator re- yered the President; who loved Andrew Jackson only for Andrew Jackson's sake; and who, at the late election in this Terri tory, held themselves up to the people as the apple of General Jackson's eye, and brawfed loud and long of their love for the President and their unalloyed devotion to him, till they fairly fioored Crittenden and set his opponent up in high places under the shadow of good Jacksonisn. Well, sir, l am not very old in the world, and l took all this for gospel. congratulated myself that was m so orthodox country. Now and then, was told of old predilec- lions, of speeches against the war, of Craw- fofdism; l was pointed to Long Island, and asked, .'eoud any good come out of Naza- reth2" but l simply concluded that they had seen the error of their ways and repeated.

 And now, sir, would you know how griev- -ously have been disappointed? Do you remember the story Milton tells Of his fal- len angels, that they pluel>ed the apples, beautiful and rare to the view. but when they chewed them they became dust and ashesl Well, sir. in some such manner was served. In the latter part of last ssxvei7s ,spvrO sustrrco report rRar CoI.. R. M. JOHNSON and eleven other mem bers of the House of Representatives. had deserted Jackson and gone over to the op- position. Sad news, thought, if true and 1 hurried into town to see what truth there might be in the rumor. What did I behold there? Why, sir, these same pure and true hearted Jackson men, these patriots from principle and not for profit, the whole party rank and file, excep: the grey fox and the editor, were running hither and thither, ut- tering new opinions. Jackson, in anticipa- tion, was at the Hermitage, and visions of new honors and new offices at the hands of Johnson, were riding in riot through their brains. The image of Johnson was LID. and they had fallen down and worshipped. Poor Jackson got little else than kicks and curses, and Jacksonism was tossed aside like anunfashionable garment The whole party, with only two exceptions, 1 repeat, cast off the mask. There were gatherings at the corners, indscreet exultation and loud graduation among the great ones.- Mark, Mir Editor, say the achole party.- The very men that sounded the trumpet of | orthodoxy all over the Territory, last sum- ner, and made 's God and Jackson l', their rallylng ery-the very men who < shelped to put the old General into ofiice"-iudges and other officers, down to the lowest whipper- Tn of ths pack. all kicked the cast off gar ment as 1t lay, all talked very extensively of "thenprivatei opinions, their true senti- ments," md all concurred in one thing-the Administration was falling, and none of the true bnewould hold to wheel when 1t be- gan to rm down hill.

 We'll, ST, was perfectly at loss, was ( was mortified. Men that nev- $ CT passedine before without paan or two f to the Gaeral. seemed to have forgotten [ lllat he WIS Tn existence, and " the gallant | CoioneP' vas all the cry. A day or two n passed awy. One mail came, and then il another, ad not a word of the report--not

 word oflhis desertion. Faces began to q engthen, iouths were closed or the tongues il them bean to wag with good Jacksonism ic gam. inshort, they are all hobbline back n thelr oldquarters, to eat of the crumbs Fir rom the Residents table, until somethipo Q 'f'a ftfnlp. Such woe-begone, ruefal n n ct of mel you never say TTIhiey are pick

 E up thepid garment again, and eettinp SC 1eir old sciences and the praises of the th general one more by rote. The Govern as F. with hiswonted facility, says that he is so ot frient to Colonel Johnson: but tbe he lhers, notso well gifted with that excel
