Dragooning. A more audacious attempt to control public opinion, and destroy the freedom of election, has never been exhibited under the most despotic government, than is now in operation among the adherents of General Jackson in the city of New York. Their nominating committee, on Friday last, passed a resolution, declaring that no person should be considered a candidate for any county office who did not say, previous to his being ballotted for, that he would accept the nomination, if a majority of the committee united in him, and who did not in writing pledge himself to support any man that the committee should nominate, without regard to the qualifications or character of the candidate so nominated.
