au article upon the poiucs q the state, we lind tnc
following plain aHo"a!. Of the purpose OF the party
which il fifty represents.
After stating that the district law adopted in
th, state, in the persuasion that the constitution OF
the United States would be amended to make
that system untorn throughout--the Enquirer
says:
The consideration which duced the people of
this State 10 change their iar, has not been fulfilled,
and Of ri4h, il Should revert 20 tire Legislature. If
the opinion oi the good people OF tins state, con-
tinue thrY are at present, friendly to Gen. Jack
SON then there can be no occasion to modify the
law. for Mr. Albums will not be able 10 obtain more
than six electoral votes Should canmny, ntrigne,
deiGcton III onr ranks or any uuhoiy and dishonest
means be used TO turn the people against the men
they support, It is folly to suppose Tor moment
that The great democratic party, bound to support
It's principles, and perpeiute il power, will ;eopar-
dZc tile electoral vote OF TINS Gate tney Wlll re-
comment a repeal Of tie law anl give the whole
thirty SIX votes to Cen Jackson.
=
Ii is obvious, therefore, that the doctrine of chan
ces is il our favour. Should chance, or sonnder
motives keep tbs State for Jackson, the law may
not be altered. Should trick and management eo-
pardize his success, il undoubtedly will be changed,
and We say so at this time, particularly to prevent
the Adams men specuatlng on the State and It's mt
liabilities for whole year TO come.
IL here distinctly admitted that the only conside
ration to which any weight is to be allowed in the
question, whether the people in their sovereign ca
; pacity, or their representatives selected withou
any vie;o 70 such an Of poser, shall choos
electors of President and Vice President is, that
i, the success Of Gen Jackson. No original and m
