and John Randolph comes into congress by
the ensuing election for the same purpose.
'.The persecution OF gen. Jackson or'gl-
mated with this faction-and his ruin and
disgrace was supposed practicable under
treasury influence, for to destroy Jackson's
influence in Tennessee and Louisiana, and
the Mississippi States, was deemed neces-
sarv 10 the views of this new faction, whose
views can never be mistaken by paying
strict regard to their organ, the Richmond
ENQUIRER Crawford's efforts on Pennsyl-
vania, tho preposterous, cannot be mlsta-
ken by any one cenversant with the protli-
gate characters which the influence OF the
general government pushes upon the peo-
pie of this state; and this may be specially
perceived in the stupid attack through the
senate, and the vulgar malignity of the
chairman, Lacock-who before long will
be found rewarded by some treasury JOB
either to himself or his son, or son-in-law,
for his use and benefit, in consequence OF
this degradation OF public character and
decency.
Mr.. Clay is the eye of his friends {; it was
one of the causes OF determining the poll
tics of the cabinet, against the South Anne
ricans. and the shameless war of arms and
calumny made on the patriots, under exc
eutive authority that Mr.. Clay might de-
rive dangerous popularity by carrying a.
ny measure favorable to independence in
congress; this was leading cause of the
cabinet policy in that case. TO prevent
this, a number Of clerks were employed in
the department of state, in transcribing IN
strucsions from the secretary Of state 70h'ch
acere distributed by messengers from that de-
partnent to the members Of congress, the
night previous to the vote upon the South
American question on which occasion, the
executive instruction was implicitly obey
cd by all but about 25 members. This
act, however, was that also of preslden-
tial rival.
Mr.. Adams entered the department OF
state on compromise, which reserved to
him his opinions Oh government, his royal
predictions, and his omnipotence of the
legislature and his contempt for written
constitutions; bu, bound him to maintain
general policy calculated 10 preserve the
system of Madison, the English ascendant
cy in matters of trade and policy, the Sac
ri6ce and obstruction of the manufacturing
system, and the consolidation of the New
England interest with the system OF VIZ
sipia. In this consideration he was to be
the heir apparent of 1925. Thus he be-
came the friend of Mr.. Monroe and the ri
val Of Mr.. Clay both as secretary OF state
and future president. He became also the
rival of Mr.. Crawford, as future president.
And the spirit Of these riyalships are une-
ouiyocally indicated in measures that are
recent. The rivaiship of Mr.. Adams was
associated with that OF Mr.. Pope OF Ken
lucky, by their marriage to two sisters; Mr..
Pore has been for some time Mr.. Clay's ri
val in Kentucky. It's generally believed
amongthe knowing ones at Nacsycophants-
burg, that the hostility of Mr.. Clay to Gen.
Jackson has grown out OF the circumstance
ofMr Adams yindicalion of him; and that
Mr.. Crawior cnmily 10 Gen. Jackson has
been invigorated by the riralship between
the secretary Of stale and treasury who each
aspire to the GiGdem. We do not vouch
fer the fact, but ii isreportcd that MIR. Clay
and Mr. Crawford hare political under
standing while others seeing how MIR. Clay
| strenuously supports the president, while
he attacks the secretary of state; thi"k that
an arrangement may take place after the
9TH March, 1921, contingent on events be-
fore that period which may be as surprising
as the coalition of James Monroe and }.
@, Adams.
Ofthe other candidates little is said on
the affirmative side. Ii would not be known
| in the United States, that any pretensons
were set up by the friends of Mr.. Clinton,
were it not for the fears betrayed, in the
food of SANDER let loose on him under the
official patronage Of the United States ere
cutie, in paper established for the pur-
pose, and obtaining The reward which is
commonly used by the department of state
as the testimony of appreciation and disap-
probation.
