to seek men of undoubted personal and political

leading motive, when making appointments to of.
Gee. This is their duty; and they owe it to the
tax payers of Pennsylvania to perform it faithfully,
regardless of all other considerations. Regard for
personal and political friends is right and 'proper,
but it should never be permitted to override the

never inducethe.. appointment of any man, of.
doubtful character or,qualifications, to a position
of high responsibility and important diaties...

strict integrity and undoubted capacity. Let them
do this, and we shall have a decided improvement

Blair, who •saW the iirigirialleperdias frequently
told his friends that he thought itbetter than 'the
finished production, and not liable totbe objections
to some of the principles advanced:M.om latter.
I t was Geu. Jackson's invariable practice.. to tiot
down in writing every official paper which he sub
mitted to the public. He was, however, always .
willing to admit suggestions, and permit alte.m
lions where he thought them improvements. •
"I will relate an anecdote, ortheideaf, which
will lead toa"correct conehision as to who wrote
Gen. Jackson's messages; and else, who attended
to, them after they were written.
When l.went after the annual message- which
demanded of the French King, (Louis Philippe,);
the indemnity due th e citizens of the U. States by I
'the French Government, I found Major A. J. Don-'
stem, then Gen. Jackson's private secretary, and a
clerk belonging to the State Department,. (Mr.
Derrick,) comparing*the copies to be sent to both
branches of Congress with the rough draught.—
Gen. Jackson was walking the floor - some twenty
or thirty - feet from them smoking his pipe, pay
ing no attention to the reading, as I thought.—
When they read that part of the message which
pressed the demaud in the strongest terms, Gener
al Jackson said, Donelson, stop.there, that je not
as I wrote it.' Major Donelson replied as fol
lows, General, the Cabinet had a meeting and
agreed to soften this a little,' and he then attemp
ted to read on, evidently very Much agitated.—
gien. Jackson 'again said to him :' Donelson stop
'there . ; that ie not as .I wrote it' Major Donelson
Made a- stammering reply, saying,' General, the
Cabinet had-a meeting and agreed to soften this a
little. Icannot alter it in time for Congress, and
Mr. Rives is here waiting for the message, and if
he does not get it shortly, he cannot have it pith ,
44 in time, and _continued to stammer on, read..
it s *o
"Gen. - Jackson then stamped his foot on the
floor and - 'said in a loud voice, '1 say stop, and
put that as I wrote it. J. don't care for the Cabi
net, nor for Mr: Rives, and Congress. waiting. at
shalt be as I wrote it.' Major Donelson then
opened hie table drawer, and took from it the
slip which he had cut from the message, and in
serted it in place of the -alteration made by..the
Cabinet. I have both the original tiiid the alters.
tion, I believe, filed away, bat.with soinany lath.
er papers that I cannot find them conveniently...
Many predicted at the time that the'supposed al
'front contained in the message would cause France
to declare' ar against the United States, So far
from it, it caused the money to be paid, and-Louis
Philippe, then King of France,thotght so highs
ly of Gen. Jackson, that he sent an eminent ar
tist, (Mr. Healy,) to ,the Hermitage to take his
likeness for him ; the likeneismas completed Only
a few days before the General's death; and is said
to be the best ever taken. . .
