From the American Sntincl, if March 2d, THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

Credence is now generally given to the anpun- . iation of Mr. Van Uuke?; as Secretary of State, Mr. Ingham as Secretary of the Treasury, gen

eral Eatox as Secretary of War, Mr. Branch

is Secretary of the Navy, and Mr. Dlrriln as

Attorney General cf the UuUcd States, in the new administration of eneral Jackson, whose

term of ollice will commence on Wednesday

next. It is perhaps equally true that the ViceI'lWident of the United States, if not the Post

master General, will be called into the new cabi

net. These appointments and arrangements do

not meet the approbation ot Uie tederai prints

They not only express their own objections to

the cabinet, but modestly undertake to declare, that many of the h lends of gen. Jackson arc dis- - m r

Hut we resnectfullv reuuest them to suffer the

friends of the President elect to speak tor them

selves. Thev are, it is presumed, competent to

disclose, in intelligible language, their own views

mion ail political topics. Assuming this to be the

fact, we venture to affirm, at least so tar as we

have been enabled to ascertain, that the new ca

binet meets the decided approbation of the demo

cratic reoublican party ivcnerally. It is certain

ly composed of gentlemen of the most enlarged minds, and of tiie most distinguished abilities ; of statesmen w ho with the illustrious chief himseii, will not descend to a recognition of the sinister & contemptible iews of little local factions, but -who will seek merit and talents among the steadfast members of the republican party, c bestow upon them the public olfices and honors, because to them only can be safely confided the public interests. It consists cf gentlemen of long tried intigrity and patriotism, who will administer the government solely with a view to promote the interests and ensure the welfare of the people. Who are the statesmen that are to constitute the new administration of the general government ? First upon the list is Andrew Jackson, the patriot and hero ; the firm and faithful friend of his country ; who risked life, reputation, all that is dear to man on this side of the grave, to defend his native land, and to protect and perpetuate its invaluable republican institutions. Of sterling probity ; with a vigorous and powerful mind, exalted principle, and lofty independence; never swerving from the path of rectitude, nor li urn the republican feelings and doctrines which Le imbibed in the school of the revolution, the nw President is admirably fitted to guide the helm of state ; to retain the confidence of the p ople ot the Union ; to guard their honour with cstal vigilance, and to advance their interests, and, if occasion require it, the national renown, heretofore so gloriously illustrated by his skill and valor. Near the President, at the council board John C. Calhoun, the Vice President, will occupy the second chair. Friends 6c enemies all concede to him talents of the highest order ; a grasping mind and towering intellect ; profound sagacity ; quickness to discern, and promptitude to adopt all measures required by the public interest ; skill, eloquence and power in debate. His expeiiencc in centres, and in the cabinet of Mr.

Monroe, renders his procure in the councils of

the now Piesident peculiarly desirable. None can doubt his love ot country ; none can question his uniform devotion to republican principles. fearless real in the late war with Great iiritain ; the manv able state papers which emanated from !N pen in indication of that war ; the solid and brilliant speeches which were delivered by him on the tloor of congress during that trying period, and his subsequent and varied services to his country, attest the peculiar fitness rf Mr. CalA ::.:; to be associated in council with the President and his ministers. Owing his station cf Vice President directly to the people, his opinions in cabinet council must necessarily be perfectly independent. Next we find Mr. Van Butu.N', of New York, as the Secretary of State. While in the Senate of the United States, he was confessed on all

won " golden opinions trom his iellow citizens. If the freemen of this great republican State could be individually consulted, a large majority would render thanks to genl. Jackson for so far

Fro?n the Philadelphia Gazettt. A SHORT HISTORY OF JACK.SONISM. Dr. McIIenry in his brief review ot the incidents of the late contest, inserted in the Jackson Wreath has the following passage. 14 No organized body of partizans, no faction, no caucus, no convention, no committee first nominated him to them. i. e. nominated gen. Jackson to the people A simple mechanic in a western village of Pennsylvania, in the summer of 1822, amidst a group of his fell uv villagers, who were discoursing on the services he had performed, and the persecutions he endured, exclaimed Let us havo him for our next President, and shew his slanderers that we dont believe them." Tho proposal was caught with enthusiasm, and assented to with acclamation. It was soon in active circulation," he. he. It is ol little moment who was the first to nominate gen. Jackson fonthe Presidency, or who was the orcasion of his having been nominated. He is now elected. An immense multitude of incidents have cot currtd to produce the result. Hut it is of great importance that the motives and viciv which indu .ed his original and sincere friends in Pcnnvylvania to ield him iheir support, should be generally known These can be gathered only liom the publications of that day. One of the cditois ol this Gazette v os, during part of 1 821, -'22, h '23, asMst?nt conductor (but in no way proprietor) of arther journal which had a very extensive circulation in the country parts of Pennsylvania On referring to the files, he finds that ti c first time on which he had occasion to speak of gen. Jackson, was on the 2d of Nov'r 1821, when he was assailed on account of his conduct a governor of Florida. In our attempt to defend him, we occupied the ditorial dcpaitmcnt of the paper lor two days, making, among others, the following rcmaiks : 11 It has been said, that this affair proves a tyrannical disposition in the general, which he had previously evinced on different occasions. Wc deny it. When t mplo ed in the United States' service, i: has always been his

j lot to be placed in circumstances, in which

extraordinary powets were granted to him, and in which extraordinary powers were necessary. The judicious way in which he exercised those powers in the British and Seminole wais, is generally acknowledged, and wc trust that the same sentiments will prevail in relation to his late conduct, when it is better understood. We hear nothing of arbitraiy conduct on his part when officiating as a Judrjc in Tennessee. In ordinary circumstances, he acts in the ordinary manner, though not withotdinary imbecility. Inettaoidinary circumstances he conforms totho exigencies of his situation He has energies which rue called forth in pxrry emergency ; promptitude, which immediately seize? hold of the l.'avoi able moment His is not that after Kind ot wisdom, which can Jcvire when it is too late to execute. He is not, like the majoiity of our public characters, incapableof exny thing but talking.1'
