Inc great pnint Of teScuinS Tue nation from Tue
tyranny az caucus nominations, and all The
corrupt influence they epgendeI, there is be
lieved to be perfect concurrence of sentiment
between the friends Of Gen. Jackson, and those
respectable and patriotic citizens whose pre-
elections lead them to support the preten-
sions of Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Clay. That
both these gentlemen are supported by
numerous and enlightened friends we are
ready to acknowledge, but the strength
Of their friends in this state is not equal to their
responsibility, nor is their organization IN such
adegree of forwardness asto justify hope that
under their auspices the cause of the people
Can make head against the art aud experience
ofthe caucus party. Under these circumsian-
ccs it does seem that a due regard to the i'm
pOrtant object of just and enlightened admin
istration Of the government, and to the great
principle of fee election in its application ~
the impending and TO succeeding cases, may
induce the friends of Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Clay
in Virginia to continue in opposition to the
caucus ticket with the friends of Gen. Jack
son. But, fellow ci,izeus, our great reliance is
ON your love of liberty, your attachment to
your country, ON that pride of Independence
and sense of citizenship which frcemen can
only enjoy and cannot long possess without
free elections. All these you sacrifice the mo-
ment you submit 10 The dictaton of a caucus.
Can you love liberty and acguiesce in the u
surpai0n of your own servants /? Can you love
your country and surrender it Ia the tyranny
Of faction ? Can you value the Independence
Of men or cherish the privileges OF citizens and
yield them both IL the exploded arts and
trembling arrogance of The caucus party ? No,
you cannot! AT the coming election you will
support with free voices the peoples ticket and
the elevation Of jackson and Calhoun-and
prove your personal Independence, your sense
of relationship, your love OF liberty and sincere
devotion to the interest and the homo of your
country.
