 prns;I..nt and asked what sort of document

 s,,cb . noner should be-comparlng It as u IS

 w;ti, what it ought to have been. In dolng this. he presented Jackson as man Of num-

 bIe but honest percentage, born m the very

 tro vail of his country for independence, with

 . nrecocious spirit and mind influenced by the times in which his infant lot was cast: he

 carried him through those trying times, and

 through the various chequered scenes of the

 revolution, until freedom was secured: and at last to the camp in which he was an officer of the Republic. Then he represented him as an ambitious man, and as being easily ln- duced by the applause he received as suc- cessful General, to ovcrstep the limits of strict

 justice and right in the performance ot hls

 military duties, and to be overbearlng to- wards those over whom he was placed. AS

 the hero of New Orleans, Mir. w. described

 him as having gained victory which subse-

 Quent events, springing out ofthat battle, nave

 rendered dear-bought one, indeed, to the

 country. Then he reviewed his civil career

 as Senator, in the times when seat m the

 til the time when the overflow ot popular at- tachment and devotion preferred him to ci- williams and statesmen of proudest names and stations, as "The Peoples Candidate" for the Presidency. He described his defeat when first nominated, and the consequent increase of his popularity, until, the champion of pop

 ular rights, he at length came into power.-

 His pledges and promises against office-hol-

 ders, official abuses, bribery, and all evil-do-

 CTS, and in favor of retrenchment and reform,

 the independence of Congress, of Executive

 patronage, were then enumerated, and then his final success portrayed. Next he took a view of the fidelity of the people to him, from first to last, and then contemplated his situa- tion as being surrounded by expectant friends, claiming the rewards of their services in el- evating him; and as not possessing the quail ities of mind or character to enable him to resist such appeals. The subtle influences of such friends were then admirably describ- ed, as was the manner in which the Presi- dent, buoyed up by success, and by the con- stant seeming approval of fthe people of every thing he did, lent an ear to his advisers until he became gradually and completely under their direction and guidance. "Has he done wrong?" asked the speaker: |" he was popu- lar, and SO no matter. Has he ruthlessly

We are told that the President needed his friends, and that it is the people who have sanctioned the maxim that to the victors belong the spells. Have the highest and richest offices been be- slowed as rewards of party subserviency ?- Has corruption become the order of the day? We are told that the President is the best judge of the selection of his own servants, and that the people, by making him President, have sanctioned all he does." After these preg- nsnt queries, MT. Wise drew parallel be- tween our times and those of Severus, when there were not wanting selfsceking lawyers ready to uphold "the powers that be" in the most gross assumptions and usurpations of power. by sophistrY and jesuitical reasoning. Among the assumptions alluded to in this parallel. that of expunging the journal of the Senate was very felicitously touched upon and after that, MT. Wise continued his uue- ries, in the same eloquent and impressive style, as to the destruction of the Independ- ence of Congress, the seizing the public trea- sure by the Executive, and placing them in the hands of ga perjured traitor and knave," his assumption of judicial powers, and the prerogative of administering the laws as he thinks best, &c. to all which the speaker re- marked, the same answer is still given, It is the people who have willed it."

 MT. Wise then reviewed the enormous in. crease in the expenditures of the administra. ton over the last-the thousands lavished on the Presidents residence-the great increase of patronage-the ruin of the currency-the introduction of monarchial doctrines, of the infallibility of popular administration-an the disposition of the succession to the empire, by the President. as if it were his private pat rimony: all of which he added again, we are still told the people have sanctioned by their election of, and adherence to Andrew Jackson, the author of them all He then ulSCAdAIlCU GuC 1utCutlOu tO CoSt tuO UASlSiAC OA all this upon the President, while he wished to free the people of it entirely-he held "The Party" responsible for it all. ,..-.

 On this part of his subject, MT. Wise was very eloquent. He drew another vivid par allel between the Kendalls, the Blairs, the Taneys, the Bentons, the Cambrelengs, and the Van Burens of our days, and the Peren- nises and Cleanders of the times of the En- peror Commodus, which was apt, forcible and telling. wish could find room for it here {; but you will see it soon at length in print
