"The Union: It must be Preserved.'' Of late, especially during the few ! months past, since plotting politicians ! thought that wliigs and democrats j are about to unite, and that the base | amalgamation would be a safe refuge j lor mediocrity and dereliction, and , cover up, in the confusion, a mnlii-' tude of sins, and even the want of brains anil of principles?of late, we i say, many persons have been aping, i and imitating, and patterning after | this celebrated toast. But there! is a mighty chasm between them and Andrew Jackson?a gap which, tho' they had had the winjp of Mercury, oiiu uiu uuvfwieHguo doois ot Jack the Giant killer, they ran never leap. We do not like to hear any one as* tempt a parallel between Washington?unapproachable and peerless in his moral ^fRiKiuer?and auy body else- And if is quite as disgusting lo see fifth-rate personages aping Andrew Jackson, and aping hup too in < one of the loftiest and most memora- i ble sentiments that man ever uttered;! a sentiment that has become an h< r loom of the tuition, and will live until the? Republic dies. We observe, hy the way, that Governor Joseph W alker, of this State, has been giving a toast recently.?' Here it is: By Gcvemor Walker?The Union: j We know no North, no South, no] East, no West, nothing but the U/i-\ ion. We do not pretend to say that this i is an imitation of Gen. Jackson, or i that .Governor Walker supposes a j crisis lias arrived, when he should in- | terposg his name,.and his influence, j ami his firmness, and his inflexible and incorruptible partriotism, to pre-1 serve llie Union.', If it bo so, however, the excellence of the motive will excuse the vanity of display. Patriotism is a sufficient offset for egotism, and in so holy a cause even our Governor may imagine himself a Jackson, and tower up to the skies, (he shadow of a Colossus, without giv-1 iog offence. But wn r?hii?rt In l?i?a vn??ll' tir.tr'c I point to but this toast, given, it would seem,expressly to contradict and neutralize and obliterate' nil that lie solemnly, and deliberately and elaborately/said, in his inaugural address, after having sworn faithfully to support the Constitution and the laws. The world reHfemb&rs Jefferson as the greatest staiesman of any age? as (he author of the most mew orable paper and the wisest enactments on record?and whose sagacity and corn -1 age preserved the Republic, when it j was rapidly sweeping towards a he-! reditary aristocracy, founded upon ! family jnfliienre and wealth?c! all governments the most tyiannical and exacting. Clay, by an eloquence . that electrified the country, in Ihej darkest hours of a disastrous war, nerved the palsied arm of the nation, and provided the mean's for it to fight the battles cf freedom. Webster's is the career of a giant. Every page of our history, for t lie last thirty year?, bears thb impress of his intellect, arid j we forget his errors in admiration of a genius so brilliant and so exalted. Jackson will live in the world s memlonger than either of them, because he combined the great qualities of each,.with none of their infirmities. He had the moral courage of Jefler son, without Ilia personal t'imi<i':?*>v.{tfe ! impetuosity, and intrepidity and'lofty spirit of Clay, with a sounder and more discriminating judgment and a > better regulated ambition; the the sagacity of Webster, without those infirmities whi<b in a man less iiitellectualand folly, would degenerate into degrading vices. With all these he possessed an individuality of phnrac-1 tor thai filled him for tlie epoch in which lie tiverl, and enabled him iiot 1 only to (-omniahd men, but events*?
