Nine Lives.—The Chronicle says Jacksonism is like the cat with nine lives. Judging from the statements of the opposition prints, one would naturally be led to think so. According to those statements, Jacksonism has been regularly killed off every year since Jackson became a candidate for the Presidency, just before the elections; but when the elections are over, it is always found to be still alive. Nay, more; it seems to gather additional strength with every defeat. We suspect the friends of the Bank would be pleased if Bankism were to be killed in the same way.—Balt. Repub.
