Because personal differences existed among some of the late members of the Cabinet, at Washington, and which, since they have retired from office, has broken out into an open rupture, not very creditable, we admit, to the individuals concerned, many of the opposition editors take the opportunity to slander and abuse President Jackson and his administration on that account. The Editors of the American and the Journal belong to the same political party, but they quarrel—like tom-cats, and call each other hard names. Now if there was any soundness or correctness in the principles or political conduct of these editors, would they be in the least impaired because a violent quarrel has arisen between them? The same reasoning holds as to the late officers of the government at Washington. Their private contentions cannot affect political principles—and so long as the President continues to conduct the affairs of the nation in a prosperous manner, and upon constitutional principles, he will continue to receive, as he richly deserves, the approbation and support of every true friend to his country's prosperity and happiness.
