The editors of the New York Evening Journal, have received a letter from New Orleans, the writer of which apprehends that the arrangements made by the national executive for the territorial government of the Floridas, will induce General Jackson to resign his office.
Having promised to abstain from party politics, the editors feel that they cannot give publicity to the important facts their correspondent communicates without passing the boundary they have prescribed for themselves: but if the individuals appointed to office in Florida, are so very exceptionable both in regard to talents and character as the letter writer intimates, the truth ought to be known to the people. The office holders must be of a very singular description, indeed, if a man of General Jackson's decision of character cannot keep them in order.
