hear, but made the rule absolute. The people were much excited in favor of thetr heroic leader, and crowded the hall or justice. How did General Jackson be have ? Did he go to the court at the head of his victorious army menacing the judicial authorities of his country ? Did he go at the head of his ofiicers, in the pride and pomp of war ? Did he go with his sword and epaulctts,in the proud gait of an exulting conqueror ? No; every thing military is laid aside ; he comes unattended, in the garb of a plain citizen Sc has almost penetrated the crowd and reached the bar of the court before he is discovered. At once, the hall rings with the acclamations of a thousand voices. Does the General avail himself of this enthusiasm, to drag the Judge fiom his bench and trample on the ermine of jus ticc ? Docs he even smile on the asscm bled multitude, or give them the least encouragement to insult the Judge or arrest him in the discharge of his functions ? Far from it. He mounts a bench and with earnest entreaty begs them to desist, and for his sake, for u cir own and their country's sake, not to interrupt the ad ministration and execution of those laws, and that constitution for which they toiled and bled. The Judge, alarmed at the popular fervor, tells the marshal it is not safe to proceed, and directs him to ad journ the court. Jackson turns to him $c bids him proceed. u There is no danger here" said he, "there shall be none the the samt armxvhich protected this city cjjgainst the inzaders of our country, shield tS protect this court or perish in the attempt" Is there anything more sublime in history i See a military chieftain, at the head of his victorious army, surrounded by a devoted people, shielding from insult and outrage, the very judge who is pas

sing sentence of condemnation on his acts and punishing him for saving his country ! Was this man regardless of the constitution and laws, when, after having saved his country from a luthless invasion, he otTcrcd himself as the victim of their violated majesty ? The Judge being thus enabled to proceed under the shield of Jackson's arm, imposed on him by whose sufferance alone he could act, a line of one thousand dollars for contempt of his authority ! A burst of popular enthusiasm again rings through the hall of justice. Jack son is sci?.ed by the people, hurried out of the hall, placed in a carriage and drawn to the coffee house. Doc he direct tho fury ot the assembled multitude against the Judge, for a sentence so extraordinary and under circumstances so peculiar ? No: he again addresses tlicm ; again begs them to repress their enthusiasm, to submit to the laws, to respect the person of tho Judge, to shew by their conduct, that they are worthy of the free institutions, for which they have fought. He tells them, he suspended the laws only to save them and the country ; that he glories in seeing their supremacy restored through his instrumentality, although he is made their first victim. Thus by his entreaties and his submission to the blow which was aimed at him by the judicial arm, which he could have arrested in a moment, the people arc induced to return peaceably to their homes and the reigu of the law is again restored ! Yet we are told this man acts in utter disregard of the laws of his country ! Jackson paid the fine. Hut the citizens of New Orleans immediately subscribed the sum, and placing it to his credit in one of the banks, gave him notice that it was at his disposal. Did he accept it, and then turn anil taunt the judicial power of his countrv with its impetency ?

No; he refuses to accept the proffered

MASONIC MIRROR, and Mechanics'1 Intelligencer. I1V MOORE SKVEY. THIS work has been tw o years before the public. Its sticT.s has been such as to place it, in point o! numbers, on an cquality with the fust pctioriical publications in the country : and the publishers, sensible of the many obligations due their Masonic Brethren for the cxeicise of their influence in piling it this extensile circulation, arc cncouragul to a icnewai of their best cffoits Free Masonry is a subject that has en grossed tht attention of man, from the piimitivc ages to the present: and its mvstic beauties, like its elder sister, Ice ligion have commanded the respect and adoration of the wise and good. The fust object of the Institution, is to preserve its members from the immoral infection by which they arc surrounded in the various walks of life -unite them in the bonds of Charity S Peace sublimate their minds with the noblest principles of nature,and render them fit for the service of a purer bcintj that, when the Grand Master of the Universe appeals in the splendid robes of his majesty and glory, to inspect the Universal Lodge, he may say to them Well done good and faithful," enter the glorious Temple of the living (tod, and encitclc his throne forever.

THE CASKET Oi Flowers of Literature, Jilt, and Sentimennt, for 1827. OjJUc of the Saturday livening Pott,? Philadelphia Dec, 2, 1826. J THE Casket, or Flowers of Literature, Wit, and Sci.timent, which has had an unprcccdcnt increase of patrons during the last six months, will after rhc present volume is finished, contain each number, 40 octavo pages, pi inted well, on small handsome type, upon the finest paper, stitched and covered, and furnished at the low price of Two Dollars and fifty cents per annum. The Casket is a collection from the choicest pieces of the Saturday Evening Post, made with a reference to the difference which should exist in the materials of a weekly paper, and those of a monthly publication, the former of course enriched with cssas, poetry, anecdotes, and those set off by a recital of the occurrences of the week The latter can receive little value from a mere detail of cxents, many of which would cease to be interesting before they were recorded. The vast quantity of matter crowded, by small type, and careful arrangement into the columns of cvciy number of the Saturday Evening Post, will, in the course of a month, furnish the most ample materials from which to form an interesting periodical work such as the Casket has been considered by its partial friends, and such as we intend, it shall he. Notwithstanding the fact, that the Casket is but a collection from the columns of the Saturday Evening Post, we confidently predict, and indeed we arc sanctioned, in the experience we already have, that its most numerous patrons will be found among the subscribers to our weekly paper. A large number of those who take the 44 Post,' depend upon that paper for the news of the week it is therefore read with avidity by almost every member of the family where it is received, and this general use frequently injures its appearance 30 much, as almost to render it unfit for the file, and lor binding. The numbers too, by this general use, arc not unfrcquently lost, mutilated, or entirely destroyed, and the file thus broken. The Casket is calculated to prevent this inconvenience, and to furnish, at a very cheap price, all the useful matter for which the weekly paper would be desirable when bound. In thus giving a permanent form and select association to the choice pieces of our weekly contributions, it is confidently anticipated, that new and successlul inducements will be held out for the exercise of supciior talent, arid unusual care in our literal y deput intent. In addition tothe recommenda'ion of neatness

in the general appeal ancc and particular attention to the typographical execution, it is cur intention to embelish each number of the " Casket" with thre e hansome Engravings, fiom the hands of some of the most distinguished artists of the country. With these claims to patronage, the " Cavkct" will, ns has been previously mentioned, be afforded to those w ho subscribe for that paper exclusively, at the low pi ice ol two dollars and fifty cents per year, subscristion which, it is confidently believed, is much lower than that for any publication of , a similar character in this country but to the subscribers of 44 The Saturday Evening Post," 4 The Casket1' will be furnished for two dollars.' The January No for 1 827, will be embellished with a portrait ol the venerable John Adams, formerly President of the United States, one of Lonacre's best engravings: Also, a correct and beautiful view of Pair Mount Water Works, in the vicinity of Philadelphia: besides the first number of the School of Flora, being the commencement of a regular series of Treatises on Botany, illustrated with numerous cuts.

Postmasters and publishers of papers who will interest themselves in obtaining subscribers, and be responsible for the subscription, shall be entitled to every kixth copy gratig. Address Atkinson Sc Alexander, Philadelphia, ICPPersons wishing to subscribe, will please to send in their names by the first of the year, as there is no doubt the demand for the work will be greatly increased, and, therefore, the possibility of being furnished with the numbers from the beginning, will be rendered more doubtful Editors inserting the above two or three times, shall receive a copy of the work.
