American watchman and Delaware advertiser. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1822-1828, 1827-04-24
FOR THE WATcHMhF,
ELECTROMAGNETIC.

Il is az this time the policy of the "Conbina.
tom or Jackson politicians to represent Mr..
Adams as fcdcralist in democratic districts, and
democrat in federal districts, as may be best
calculated to insure them success in different pla-
ces. This is Of the unfair and underhanded
means made use of by the Combination to
promote their views.
In the State Of Delaware. Mr.. Harker, the
editor of the " Delaware Gazette" federal paper,
knowing that Kent and Sussex counties, 1.-THE for
MGR of which has been nearly equally divided
between the federal and democratic parties, and
the latter very federal,) are in favor of the ad-
ministration, has great DESIRE with the aid of
the "Junto" that governs and directs the polite
al matter Of his paper, to set the federalists Of
Delaware against Adams, by calling him an apos-
tate federalist and representing him as the great
est enemy of federalism IN the land. This is a
trick truly characteristic Of Mr.. Harker, and for
which he may have the credit-but he will find
the people very unwilling to permit him or any
other man to fill their eyes with snuff, that they
may willingly be led into the pit Of political
and destruction. The people know full we'll, as
do Mr.. Harker and his Jinto that the approach
ing Presidential election stands on very different
grounds from the old parties of federalists and
democrats-they know that in national point Of
view the old party landmarks are nearly if not
entirely, done away. and that new ones are form
ing, which are or will be based differently. All
the candidates at the late presidential election
belonged to the democratic party. Mr.. Adams
and Gen. Jackson, who probably will be the only
candidates at the approaching election, of course
have belonged to that party-the one a great
Statesman and the other a great General. MIR.
Adams and his friends in favor of domestic
manufactures. internal improvement and a liberal
and advantageous American System, that will
make US truly independent and powerful. Gen.
Jackson and his friends are opposed to domestic
manufactures, internal improvement, and in favor
Of curtailing the powers Of the General Govern
ment, and increasing that of the States, which
were so nicely balanced by the wise trainers of
our Constitution, and which have promoted our
prosperity and happiness thus far, in an unexam-
pied manner. Now, the people of Delaware and
the United States are not called on to vote for a
federast or democrat, but for those measures,
or men that will support them, that will be of
lasting benefit to millions yet unborn, and contin-
ue US in our prosperous march to wealth, power
and happiness. Such men are Mr.. Adams and his
supporters, and the opposite are the partisans of
Gen. Jackson. The people of Delaware and of
the United States are capable OF judging and they
will no doubt judge wisely-and in a wise judg-
ment and action, previous to the next Presidential
election, will depend, in great measure, our tu-
ture prosperity as nation. Let not the Watch
men Sleep, for the storm cometh, and blessed are
they who are prepared to encounter it.
