| He has insoently told the Gov ofGeorgia, you
sir as governor of the state, have right to give
IA military order, whilst am in the field''--thns
showing his contempt for the most important right
g reserved to the states.''
He has issued general order, directing the offl-
GERS in his military division, to disregard amy order
of the government which did not come through him.
He has, when the representatives OF the people
instituted an inquiry into his conduct manifested the
utmost indignation and endeavored to intimidate
| them by threats of violence.
| He has meditaed personal assault upon mems
| Der in his place in the Senate Chamber: and
prevented from executing it, only by the threat Of
the noble Decatur take his life if he made the att
tempt.
| He has, whilst governor of territory cited be-
fore him judge, whose sole offence was the issu-
ing, Gas his duty when applied to) the writ Of
habeas corpus.
i He has in the same capacity, promulgated DEGREES,
4 illegal and oppressive-declaring at the time, that
as governor of Florida, he invested with all the
powers exercised by the captain general of the ISL
and of Cuba, powers foreign to our constitutions and
unacknowedged by our laws.
He has gravely stated, that had he been comtnarls
der of that military district he would have hung the
members of the Hartford Convention, under the
second seotion of the rules and regulations for the
government of the army--a latitude OF construction
! highly unwarrantabe and dangerous.
; Madisons reelection that as philosopher he
could not look with composure on blood and car
mage"
He has when a commissioner, negotiating with the
Indians stipulated for grant of land to himself,
which article of the treaty was not ratified by the
Senate of the United States.
He has whilst general in the army Of the United
|States ntruded into the legislature OF his own state,
and harrangued the members on an important ques-
ton then pending.
He has written numerous electioneering leers---s
in spite of the sentiment of the lamened Lowndess
which he has affected TO adopt.
o He has whilst in the Senate of the United States,
contented himself with giving negative vote, on
IS Nomination brought about (he being according to his
own story conuzani Of the tac by bribery and corA
is ruption-thus abandoning his solemn duty and be-
l. tray ing his constituents.
d He has at his own iresde'' circulated a bass
). slander against the second officer in the cabinet nnd
e lis not supported in his statement by the witness
whom he summons.
: He has to promote his own views taken 10 his
bosom man, long his deadliest enemy, and whose
l. life he once attempted.
), In every one of these outrages he has been jisti,
c fed by his adherents repeated remonstrance3
l. have been answered only by repeated injury. y
man, whose character is thus marked, by every act;
which may define tryran, is unfit to be the rules
l. of free people.
II Nor have been wanting in attentions 10 our
l. fellow ireemen. We have warned them from time
to timc OF the attempt Of combination, to extend
,e military despotism over us. We have reminded
, them of Caesar, Cromwell and Napoleon. We
have appealed to their native good and love Of
Of liberty and we have conured them, by the ties of
,e our common country, to lrown upon man, whose
A. elevation will inevitably give death blow to the
of republic. They will not be deaf to the voice Of
to reason and experience but acquesce in our denns
re citation of his pretensions to civil office, and hold
r. him. as we hold the rest of military chietains-
he useful in war--ln peace dangerous
ch We, therefore, the friends OF the present admblss
traton of the general government, appealing to the
tie supreme law of the land for the protection OF Off
o. persons do in the and by virtue OF those prn@
M ciples which we have inherited, soemnly publish
10 and declare that ANDREW JACKSON is, and al.
d. ways will be, rash, incompetent and dangerous-thae
e. he destitute of all pretenson to the chair OF state,
ina and that all political cennexion between him and our
ourishing Republic, is and ought to be totally de-
,r. nounced and that in free and republican sates
h. civil virtues talents and political experiences are,
and of right ought to be, preferred to fame, exclus
la sively military And for the support of this declas
in ration, with firm reliance the good sense OF the
community, we mutually pledge to each other Ucr
,b- votes, our influence and ceaseless efforts.

The Tice Presidencu-In different parts Of the
OF Union, nominations begin to be made for the Vice
ed Presidency. Soon after the termination Of the last
nd Session of Congress, the reader will recoect we
mentioned the rumor, then very prevalent that Mr..
CALHOUN to be supported for the Vice Pres.
he idency by the Combination we might have added
as but do not remember that ditD that this de-
rs, termination was made sine qua by an hOnoraA
BILE Senator, without whose accession to the party it
r. would even in the Senate, have been in decided
ty minority. Recent Indications induce US to suppose.
