From the National Journal.
Among the individuals TO whom the famous Circular
OF the jackson Committee of Philadelphia was trans
United, find in a recent number of the Natchez Ai-
ell that the Editor of that respectable journal nclu-
ded The violent and persevering zeal of this committee
could not be satisfied, it would appear until the
cocon which its hatred TO the present Administrations
and the personal feelings of its members had prepared
should be disseminated through eYeTy section of the
Union. The effects which have been produced By this
document have been somewhat different from what was
anticipated by its authors. Although it was ndustr
ousy circulated in Pennsylvania, for the atmosphere
OF which State 1t especially adapted and intended
the jackson inajOrities appear, by the Of the
late election, TO have diminished, average, nor e
than one-half from their numbers in 1924 In New
jersey, where this circular nsnnated into every
corner the Administration has received most rium-
phant evidence of IFS popularity. So far therefore,
the crcularhas made enemies than friends 10 the
cause whichit advocated. The Editor of the Natchez
Ariel considers this letter, the offspring of the Joint
nellects of the leaders of opposition in Philadelphia
as cot rather loose, disointed charactern and the
effect 1t has produced upon him appears to conform
pretty exactly to that which it has produced elsewhere
IN reference TO ITS contents the Ariel has the following
apt observations:
"Aftera long aud serious conflict among the People
after dreadful struggle among the chiefs of the
nation, among the assembled representatives of the Pen
ple-amid all the learning talents and skiIl-amonost
all that could be collected that was good and great OF
the Iand-at the very capitol of the republic was the
question dlscussedday after day. night after night and
week after week. and there it decided BY The chief
men and the rulers Of the land, that JoHN Quincy
ADAMS was elected Chief Magistrate of the United
Sales.--future the question decided by the consti.
iutional authorities Of the country according 10 the
form and spirit of the constitution.
After all these discussions and Investigations what
