following remarks an insertion in
his valuable paper they were de
livered by Mr. Jacob .1. Watts, on
his being elected President of the
Board of Trustees at "Bachelor's
Academy," in Martin county:
"Permit-me, gentlemen, to re
turn you my sincere thanks for
the promotion of the office which
you have this day honored me
with. 1 cannot conscientiously
enter upon the duties of the olfice
without first exhibiting some de
gree of satisfaction as respects the
reflection of honor to be derived
from the exalted station which
you have been pleased to confer
on me. It would be ingratitude
in me to be placed at the head of
the Board of Trustees, not to of
fersome gratuitous remarks. Jt
is not with the expectation of re
ceiving benefit from the Institu
tion, or the Trustees thereof, but
being thoroughly convinced of the
great necessity of thus promoting
in the most suitable manner the
education of our children, we can
not consistent with reason pursue
ti more suitable plan than at once
to form a Board of Trustees,
among which must be a President,
Vice-President, Treasurer, and
Recording Secretary. An objec
tion may be clrawn by some of our
learned neighbors relative to the
Institution, because in this school
are not taught the Latin, Greek,
Hebrew and French: but shall this
objection have any weight! Shall
the Trustees of this Institution, or
even the parents and guardians of
children placed at this Academy
be discouraged, because we do
not profess to teach the ancient
zcii3 in the formation of an Anti
Jackson Electoral Ticket for uYu

individuals, who are at present before
the people of the Union for the first of

Riltimorb. the other at Nashville .at
which they gave the following toasts:

memory of the gallant Lauderdale
and Henderson, who gloriously
fell on the plains of New-Orleans,
nobly defending the Emporium of
the West.
The mvstical words of the wise man
of the cast, like the hand-writing on
the wall of Belshazzar's palace, have as
tounded the political astrologers and
soothsayers of the nation, who to this
day have not been able to give a satis
factory interpretation of this oracular
"device," notwithstanding the lights and
shadows with which it was accompanied
in "a short explanation." But the plain,
homespun, patriotic sentiment of the
farmer of the west has passed without
comment or explanation, for he that runs
may read and understand what he Says
on any subject.
But there is another period in our his
tory, which presents a striking contrast
in the language and in the conduct of
these individuals. In the fall and win

I know that every man whose bo
som beats high at the proud title
of freeman, "will promptly obey
her voice, and rally round the ea
gles of his country, resolved to res
cue her from impending danger,
or nobly die in her defence."
The British forces approach, and to
inflame their valor the watch-word,
"booty and beauty", is given but they
are greeted by Jackson with an appal
linshout. which is re-echoed by his

compatriots:
"Victory or death our country

this State have just terminated,

the English language and its ori
gin, will at once show the interest
ed persons that a language which
has been so much indebted to
others, both ancient and modern,
must of course be very copious
and expressive. In these re
spects, perhaps, it may be brought
into competition with any now I
spoken in the world. No En
glishman has had reason to com
plain, since our tongue has reach
ed its present degree of excel
lence, that his ideas could not be
adequately expressed or clothed
in a suitable dress. No author
has been under the necessity of
writing in a foreign lanmiaire on
account of its superiority to out
own. Whether we open the vol
umes of our divine philosophers,
historians, or artists, we shall find
that they abound with all the
terms necessary to communicate
their observations and discover
ies, and give to their readers the
most ample views of their respec
tive subjects: Hence it appears
that our language is sufficient for
all topics, and that it can give pro
per and adequate expressions to
variety of argument, declicacy of
taste, and fervor of genius. That
it has sufficient copiousness to
communicate to mankind every
action, event, invention and obser
vation in a full, clear, and elegant
manner, may be proved bv an ap
peal to the authors who" arc at.

JI am a very old man, fellow-
citizens.- lou have known me
too long to be capable of deceiv- i
me "gigantic power" an opportunity oi
ascertaining the deplorable condition to
which one of our most intelligent stales
men thought wc were red need; and at a
lime loo, when that statesman held the
appointment of Commissioner to nego
ciate a treaty of, peace with ihem. It
appears from official documents, that for
the space of two years, embracing this
period, Mr. Adams claimed and receiv
ed from our "penurious government,"
nearly 670,000, for his services, while
engaged in thc -fashionable ?ml courtly
circles of Europe; embracing charges for
constructive journeys, as his friends
term them that is, journeys which
might have, or ought to have been per
formed, but which Mr. A. never travel
led the items were not disputed, for he
subsequently audited the account him
self as Secretary of State.
At a corresponding period we find
Gen. Jackson at thc head of some of the
yeomanry of thc west, penetrating the
wilderness in pursuit of hostile savages,
and their more savage allies finally
concentrating his forces at New-Orleans,
and pledging his private property to pro
cure supplies for those who with him
self were sent to "resist the mass of force
which thc gigantic power had collected
to crush us at a blow." What was his
affirmed that "one half of the na
tion had been sold." If he meant
the people of the north and east,
he surely does not deserve their
confidence: if he meant thc peo
ple of thc eolith and west, ice
know too well, what is due to
ourselves, to put confidence in one
who will denounce us. Again we
ask, Who were thc Traitors!
