We do not know of a single txetptional act of General Jackson or Mr. Van Buren, which was not a mere carrying out in practice what Mr. Jeftersoo justi Bed in theory, and would bate performed, if he bad been bold enough to meet the public indignation, which he foresaw such an attempt would provoke. 4. u. We should have been better pleased with the Add reus if toe President had omitted all yea, all that he his introduced about Greece, and Rome, and Switzerland, and all other ancient or modern Governments and countries, except our own. There are two columns of this superfluous matter not of a character to arouse oppoirtiin, or to en courage prejudice, or to provoke ridicule ; but, to use a common phrase, lugged in by the bead and shoulders, in excessively b.ul taste enforcing noth- mg illuxiratin? oolliinir. proving notnuig. as a I . .. r .11..

These the Whig ! party have inscribed on their oannera, sou uuue.. ! Ihem they have achieved ibe victory of their ca'i jdidete. Tney have reference, 11, to the resiora lion of the currency, and Ihe sale-keeping of the : nublic motiev bv other institutions than ihe Suti Treasuries ;' 2d, lo ihe crealiwu of a National Bank ; Oil, the distribution of Ihe public lauds or iheir proceeds among the Slates 4th.. ll assump tion of the Slate debts by the General Government on certain terms. Of course it was to be expected, that in an ad dress intended to explain the principles and future policy of his administration, we should find the President giving his views on each of these topics. But we are diapioiiited ; to the Ihrue last he makes not the slightest allusion, und cottttntt him ttlfui to the firtt with a simple repetition of the harshest and weakest trUuuins on the system oj hit predecessors. We are not ourselves partisans of the opinions, announced first by General Jackson, and adopted in part by Mr. Van Buren, that ihe currency of the United States should be exclusively metallic. We retard this notion as not less extravagant than that which wuuld sustain the present system of banking. It is true, that credit has been ihe ruin of this country ; but it was credit misunderstood and pushed to extremity. A thouiand good things may be said in reply lo the preachers of a purely me. tellic circulation, if indeed there are any such re maining. But lo combat llns system, as Generai Harrison does, on the grouud lhat it would lavor great inequalities of fortune, ikcililate usury, and destroy generosity und nobility of sentiment mitotic Ibe peeple, is to demon-Irate more ingenuity of argumentation than correctness, of judgment. Wuh ids exception of a lew unfortunate expres aion.4. thrown out in psainj7, upon lliU vitally im j j orlsnt subject, the new President keeps aleutx on j alt the great topics of ntuwmitpolici.- He says not a word about the contested Iruniier between Maine and the British possessions not a word about the McLnod hW. He alludes, it is true lo hi want of knowledge as to (he slate of penning negotiations; but certainly there are principles obviously involved in ihem, winch are permanent and inviolable, and upon these, wiiaiever may l , lb facts, his opinions would be full of mleresl.
