It is said upon good authority, that the celebrated Geo. Kremer, has renounced the errors of Jacksonism, and rejoined himself to the old mother church of republicans. He left Washington in consternation and with uplifted hands, at the tremendous rush for the loaves and fishes, exclaiming that "the corruption of Adams and Clay, was nothing to that." We begin to think Mr. Kremer has a claim to the appellation bestowed upon him by Mr. Randolph—"Honest George." He is a very singular man in appearance, and to our ears one of the most engaging speakers we ever heard—His language is homely, abounding with such stable phrases, as "putting the saddle on the right horse," "looking a gift horse in the mouth," "locking the door after the steed is stolen," &c. &c.—phrases which when aptly employed, always tell—but however homely his speech, his sense is straight forward and masculine.
