ranks of the people.

If it has not, how soon will the secre

taries claim, by usage and preset iption,

the exclusive tight of nomination, and.

Irotn the powerful patronage in their gift, may be but two likely to obtain it. '1 his

attilicial s stein of cabinet succession to

the presidency, is little less dangerous

and anti-repuolican than the hereditary

monarchies ot Europe. It a link in this chain of successive secretary dynasties be not broken now, then mav we be fettered by it for ever. Andrew Jackson comes pure, untrammelled and unpledged, from the bosom of the people. The limits of an address will not permit us to sketch hi biiliiant civil and miiitay cateer. His two elder brothers fell in the revolution, and Andrew Jackson, tlie last surv ivor of his race, at the eat iy age of fourteen, was worn did and taken prisoner. His subsequent mi liary services it is unnecessary to delineate They are well known and du y appreciated, by a grateful people. Nor is tie less distinguished in civil 'nan in miiParv stations. At a vcrv earlv

age, he was appointed attorney-general of the Soutlmcs! Penitorx ; when that territory was admitted into the Uniou, as the State of Tennessee, he bore an ib e and distinguished part in the convention, which framed for her the most democratic constitution of the Union. In 1797, he was elected the first representative of Tcniv-see in t'ongress. and in 1798, to the Senate of the United ;tatf s. Asa member of that body during the trying peri d, emphatically calh d he reign of tcurnr, vyhich preceded the olitic al revo'ution o-1 800, he was a z ah'iis and efficient, opiv nt of the federal administration of J. ""AiTams On i c -signii-g his scat in the Senate of the U.

tates, he was chosen judge of the supreme court of Tennessee, and at the Hose of his military services. Governor of Florida, and is now re-elected to the Senate of the Union. He has dischatcred til these important ofnecs with great a bility, with unsulled integrity; and, reckless of hardships of danger, or even of reputation, has, in evcrv station, whether civil or military, acted wrh feailess deot'mn to his country's service. The character of no man hrs been so much misunderstood as that of Andrev Jackson. He has been represented as a rash and desperate military chiiftian, regardless of the laws and constitution of his country. No statement is more unfounded in fact. Andrew Jackson is firm and decisive in exreuting his pUm?, but cautious, prudent rmd deliberate in forming them; ard cool arid collected in the hour of d .ngcr. If success be any rriteiion o sUil and prudence, the immortal Washington was not so invariably successful as the Hero of Orleans! Vic'orv h.s alwavs nerched iinn'hJiK

standard. If he has ever seemed to be lash or precipitate, it was when his de sperate situation icquireda resort to energetic measures. He has always born sent on desperate enterprises, with means a'most inadequate to success; compelled to relv on his own energy of chaiactcr and the resources of Lis own mind. If he has ever appeared to violate the laas, it was, that he might shield his country from the most awful calamity.

Had he stopped a day, perhaps an hour. ' to weigh the constitutional sctupies of j his enemies in the scale oflegal technicality, Orleans had been a pile of ruins and its streets had flown vvUh American blord Andrew Jarksnn, when his cour.'ry is in darurc, and An 'rew J.irkson, when his coutrv is victorious and serine, r.re very dissimilar. One f .ct speaks a volume upon this subject, that cannot be misti ken. On the eve of the battle of Ofcay?, when alarm and disaffection pervade the citv, Gen TarUson arrested a person diycovp'd ev.citin r n u'ir.v in hi canp, rod refused him to the rivil anhot ity till Orlea"S was secure.

The decree ol the king of Spain, ard the comments of the Pari papt : s t!;erccn, have caused a great panic en the London Exchange. They say the Britidi government must now declare whether the south Ameiican States ere or ure not indep ndent. SPANISH DECREE. The following is a copy of the king cf Spain's decree, of the 9th oi Feb. relative to the Ameiican C olonies: By n.y preceding decrees, I abolished, in my ultra-marine states the soi-dissant Ct nstituticnal regime, and re-established my government there upon the fooling that it existed previr us to .March 7, 182(3, as it took place in the Peninsula. The provision concerned only the internal regime As to the commercial relations, I signified to the authorities, by my ordinance of January 4th. that they were to maintain these relations as thev existed, with the consent of the local chief. Having, sinre that peird, heard my council of the Indies, and my council of ministers, I have resoixed to ordain as follow : I . The direct commerce shall be maintained in mv American States, vvi'h foreigners, subjects cf powers in uliiurce and amity uitti Spain; and the trading vessels of the said powers, will be allowed to traffic in those ports of my European Sta'cs. 2 A decree shall be issued, or a law enacted, to regulate this commerce, ant' determine the ports in vvh'ch it shall be carried on, as well in the North St a and the Islands, as in the Pacific Ocean.
