Brooklyn, June 27, 1831. SIR--It is amusing to see with what tenacity the crestfallen Jacksonians cling to life, and talk of the great and increasing prospects of the Hero," as if they really believed there was some probability of his again being elected as if the disgusting semi-farce-semi-tragedy, which has been played off at minds Washington, the during honest the last ten of this days, had no as effect if the upon incapacity of the President had not been discoverthe of voters country ed; as if the inconsistency of his whole conduct, his entire inability to discharge the duties of his office, his want of that dignity which should be found in the Executive, had passed from the minds of the people like the mists of the morning. These men are to be pitied They grasp to the few pillars that remain of the falling house, as if they could support it against the storm of public indignation, which is about to burst over it. It is in vain that you point out to them the dissentions and troubles that have been created amongst their own party--it is in vain that you tell them a house divided against itself cannot stand they have pinned their hopes to the popularity of the "greatest and are blinded through ignorance, and cannot see that the whole fabric is trembling to the ground. There is another feature in the party which is calculated to excite the surprise of such as are not acquainted with the materials of which this party is composed.

Perhaps there is not a press in the country that has taken part in the cause of this broken dynasty, nay, I will undertake to say that there is scarce a man in the country who voted for Jackson, that has not praised the talents, the virtue, the integrity of Mr. Ingham; but no sooner has he thought proper to expose the misconduct of those officers who are basking in the smiles of the simple old man" no sooner has he dared to sav to the President that the members of your cabinet. have conspired to take my life, or to inflict severe punishment upon me, whilst on the way to my department," than the whole party raise a shout against him! Fie is called coward, knave, and every harsh name, that so well suits the party that use them; and by whom By the party that but just now have called him virtuous, generous, brave. And for what 1 because he dare tell the truth, and that to the people. Oh, happy president, thou hast indeed the blessedness of smiling upon a most inconsistent party.

It may be true that Mr. Ingham is all, that his party are now calling him, but it comes with but a poor grace from those who were his dear flatterers but three weeks since. But if the mismanagement of the Post Office Department -the treatment of the Senate- the breaking of most sacred promises the waste of public monies- -the appointment of the abandoned, to lucrative offices- the dismissal of honest men from office, for opinion's sake--the wish to control the Fiews of private society -the utter inability of the whole Ecads of the party, can sweep away the mist that has I is a a a circus, of 2. in are of Mags 3. 6, into On No.

Foreign journals have frequently expressed surprise, in noticing the Mirror, that it could be issued at so cheap a rate. The simple truth is, that, at its commencement, the proprietor was prepared to labor many years without profit, and to trust that the spirit and good taste of the community would in time offer facilities for improving it, and insure to it an extensive and continued circulation, as his ultimate reward. They must be fully aware that a mere reprint, got up with cast off pistes, and mutilated music, while it would form no specimen of American literature and the arts, but create a sickly taste, and rather retard than advance their real interests, could have been conducted, without talent or tabor, and furnished at loss than half the expense.
