fall those, who pretend to be, were as SIM
..relv the friends Of General Jackson, as the
Editor Of the Georgia Courier, much anxiety,
,,oubls and disappointment, might be saved
,be veteran Warrior in his old age, and our
country might still manifest her gratitude to
,bs defender Of New Orleans, without endanger
mo her liberties. The following extract from
he paper alluded to, is highly creditable to its
,uthor, and meets our appreciation with the
single exception, that we think no American
oupht TO take pride in seeing General Jackson in
,be Presidential Chair independent Of his to-
"a, want of political nformation-denied, we
believe, by none--the elevation of a Military
Chiefain TO the Chief Magistracy of Repub-
liz. is dangerous, as well as not "saie prece-
dent"
sWith respect to those, who will probably be
candidates for the high Office Of President ofthe
United States, we believe, the election will lie
entirely between Gen. Jackson and Mr.. Adams.
With respec, to Gen. Jackson's public conduct,
We have been his uniform admirers, and the
mastery manner in which Mr. Adams defended
il, when attacked, forms not the least cause of
our admiration of the latter. AT Gen. Jackson's
advanced age, and OUT high responsible office
as he is at present, there is but little probability
of any change in the course of bis opinions and
conduct; and ii the Old Hero should still con-
tinue to be the man we have always believed
him to be, and any thing should occur to alter
our opinions Of Mr.. Adams, we would certainly
take more pride in seeing general Jackson in
the presidential chair, than any man living
But If Mr. Adams still continues to pursue the
good policy which has distinguished his two
predecessors, and 10 promote the honor and in
ferest Of the country with the ability which has
SO far manifested itself in his administration,
we can see no reason why he should be dis
placed, with all his experience and knowledge
Of our interests, to make way for any other per-
son whatever.
We have seen it stated on respectable autho-
rity, and we believe il to be true, that Mr.. Adj
ans has not warmer friend in the United
States, or one, who more cordially approves of
his administration of the general government,
shan General Jackson, notwithstanding the at
tempts OF the opposition to enlist his popularity
lii Favor Of their pretensions. 1t is not neces-
sary to Gen. JackSon's fame, that he should be
President Of the United States; nor is it neces-
sary to complete the evidences of our gratitude,
that zoe should make him President. His fame
IS full; iii beyond the control Of accident--It
IS already consecrated by history, And what
evidences are wanting to demonstrate our gra-
sllude! Where is the heart that does not do no
mage to his merils?''
