fight under the banners Of Gen. Jackson
Some time ago, a meeting was held at fhIla'
delphia, at which resolutions were passed IN
favor of Gen. Jackson; circulars were issued
directed to distinguished men in Pennsylva-
nia, and among others, TO the Hon. Jonathan
Roberts, late of the United States Senate, and
now leading member Of the Legislature of
that State. To this circular, Mr.. Roberts has
made dignifed ard manly reply, which we
will hereafter lay before our readers, as 1t will
well reward them for the time they mayspend
in reading II; Lastly the people Of Boston have
had a Jackson meeting, and il is said Jack
son paper is 10 be established in the Metropo
hs of New England. Whether such paper
will ever be ushercd into existence, is very
problematical; but fit be not brought into ex-
istcnce, under more favorable auspices, than
those which presided over, and directed the
late meeting, we should say the conductors
of the paper, will be poorly requiled for their
labors. Let faction do its worst New Eng
land is safe No impression can be made in
favor of the Military Chieftain." 1t seems
thc good people Of Charleston, s c. haye Civ.
ell some little indication Of Il disposition, not
TO swallow every thing that Calhoun, NJ Duff
fie, and Hamilton have promulgated as orac.
uar truths At the peoples dinner, on the
4th of July, the people dared to speak their
own sentiments, and accordingly toasted the
administration, Mr.. Clay, and others To do
away the effect of this expression, Jackson
meeting is called, and recruits are TO be drum
med together for n three years campaign.
Surely, if General Jackson were the peoples
candidate, would all this parade bc necessary
Ii we were allowed 10 hazard conjecture, we
should imagine, that all that has been said,
in favor of Jackson's popularity in S. Caroli-
ma, was not true and that Judge Smith, an
honest man, and a man of sterling integrity,
would be elected to fll the place in the Sc.
nate of the United States, made vacant by the
death of Mr.. Gailard. 1t is gratifying to us,
amid all this Fictitious opposition--for VIC do
not believe it real, or called for by the people,
who are honest, virtuous and intelligent, and
who will not be duped-to observe tho course
OF the Executive of the u. States, tl,o public
good his object, and his wish the happiness of
the people. We are further gratifed, in learn
ing that the people of this State, arc deter
mined to support those who have, and who
will support the Executive in this course.

raj course of things The Government being
conducted by the Joint councils of their re-
spcctive chiefs, their union produced that Of
their friends; and the friends of each became
the cordial supporters Of both, the rommon
friends of the country. A very few OF the
porti2ans of other chiefs, havr joined these
friends, and are cordial with them, but the
most of such partizans have embodied them
selves in opposition to the administration, and
have labored to bring it into discrcdit with the
Nation. They have wnged an unholy and a
deadly war against the Government, and
will therefore perscvere in the same course,
IN order if possible, TO make the Nation itself

Chief for the next Presidency, in whose sup
port they will llunite at the coming election
The whole weight Of talents possessed by this
opposition, is constantly and untiringly em-
ployed 20 mislcad the public Judgment, TO pro-
duce public dscontcnts; and thus to bring a

Presidency their iavoritc candidates. The
friends Of the Government, have TO meet these
talents in the field of debate, 10 give them
baltic, to expose and coniound their subtle ant
