THE JACKSON MEETINGS election OF
members of Congress TO represent the State of New
jersey in the National Councils, takes place on the
tenth and eleventh days OF this month and the ap-
preaching contest to excite unusual interest
The event will be decided on political considera-
tions, and there will be strong effort made by the
partizans Of the Administration, and the friends of
General Jackson, to elect their favori,e candidates
Already have the several parties held meetings and
caucuses to accelerate their designs but from what
we can gather from the papers, it most likely
that the Administration ticket will triumph. Al
one Of these meetings. Circular Letter was got up
by the Jacksonltes which, usual, is intended to
lead the public into belief that the present Ad-
ministraton was got up by fraud, and is sustained
by corruption. The letter is an nfammatory pro-
duction, and that our readers may see how far the
Opposition will go, and TO what violent methods
they resort, and how regardless they are of
truth, we copy the following extracts which are
given as reasons why the gentlemen Of New Jersey
oppose the reelection Of Mr.. ADAMS:
ave oppose the recollection Of Mr.. Adams, be-
cause, by comforting upon Mr.. Clay the Office of
Secretary OF State under circumstances which rem
dered manifest prior bargain between them--a
bargain all the details Of which were known and
promulgated before this consummaton-he has
brought odium and contempt our institutions
opened the door for future bargain and Intrigue
and manifested an alarming Indifference to public
opinion.
ave oppose the reelection Of Mr.. Adams, be-
cause he has attempted to assume to himself sncon-
Stitutional pocers-the power of creating an embas-
sy in the recess Of the Senate, and comm ssioning
Ambassadors to fill it, without the advice or consent
OF that body. power dangerous to the liberties,
the peace and security of the country.
"We oppose his reelection, because he has by
his friends, endeauored 10 retain the election Of Pres-

ave oppose his re- election, because he has mani

ofthe public money. He has increased dipiO.
matic expenses, until they amount to more than
one thousand dollars per diem. He has appointed
old and inefficient men to public missions, who had
retired from public life in consequence Of infrmi-
ty, and who were soon obliged to resign, thereby
multiplying outfits, and wasting thousands of dol
lars. He has avished large sums on his iavorites,
for which no adequate compensation in services
were ever expected. And he has expended enor-
nous sums in furnishing his own house with all the
trappngs of royalty, and all the conveniencies for
DISSIPATION and GAMBLING! Setting an i'm
moral example before the People, dlsgracetul to
our national character, and utterly at with the
plain unostentaGous virtue which is at once the
pride and the safety ofthe republic.'
A greater confederation of faisehoojs could rot
we'll have been produced by the Jackson faction.
II is really amusing TO behold how hard Gen. JACK
SON and his friends labor, to ruin the prospects OF
the Administration. By preferring such charges
are contained in the above extract, they plainly
discover that their cause is hopeless one; for one
that requires the aid Of falsehvod to sustain it, can
not but prove absolutely baseless and abortive in
the end. We have nothing to fear from such op-
pouents, and 1t will be long time before the pub
lie, who are well acquainted with all the public
acts of the Executive, will be made to believe that
he has been guilty Of the crimes charged upon him
by the Jackson faction These meetings and crcu-
lars thicken upon us, but they need be dreaded
whilst intelligent public satisfied Of the
purity Of MIR. ADAMS, and the wisdom Of his al
ministratiou.
