Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1827-09-19

J &c T/0SPecI" ~ Hfe Eit2htreF.-The Enquirer O
yesterday mas undertaken to decide the Presidents
question: with the most oracuar gravity. "The dest
ny OF me present administrations" say these saracou
"' psoouhu interpreters of public opinion, "is ire
Vocaoiy sealed" They give il as their "consc;cn
'ious conviction" that the battle is decided and ais,
what is highly gratifying, they assure us tina, this han
Py result has produced most delightful peace AM
c"mposure in their minds. They have now buried
political prculiocs and personal animositiesn ane
they strongly recommend TO the Repu5 can party mar
example, and reserve their hostilities for measures
winch may hereafter demand their united efforts
Really gentlemen, there much melting patlos and
such bewitching music in this concilatorv language
that we are almost tempted 10 surrender our own po
ica prejudices and offer you the real "fraterna hue
OF a'nity and concord. Your prediction too, of the
hopeless DESPERATION and certain accomplishment of the
cause we advocate, is delivered much in that gifted
spirit of forecast by which all your prophecies hereto
fore have been distinguished that should shudder
1t luckily did not recoect that the event never vet
IN single case, justified your prognostics. All your
prophecies gentlemen in times past utterly failed
You confidently fore,od the election of Mr. Crawford
and thought it presumption in any one TO differ from
you IN opinion When you found the cause Of that
gentleman hopeless, you boldly predicted the defea,
oil hir. Adams Again you foiled and indeed
you we're often doomed to disappointment that we
thought you had forever abured gift of fortune tell
ing.
We wish that the Editors of the Enquirer had deprecu-
ted the existence of much angry ZEAL before they cor
rbutcd sc largely to its excitement We wish they had
seen the evil OF "circuatns fsehoods, they gave
such ready credence to the East Room ae,
covered over that vile SANDER with such bungg apologies
We wish once fo all. that they would more respect
Ur the fairness and canour which they
than to rely upon and acispers instead Of
facts, TO prejudice tie public mind ans Law and Adams
But can we believe these gentlemen sincere when they
say thatas certainly the will o-morrowp Vir
snia will so for jackson. How do they know Has there
been any test of the strength Of parties? Or do these
temen think that the private letters of few heated
partizans can indicate The public voice? We know VIVA,
tile gentlemen mean. They will rely their caucus ma
ch"ery next winter They will bring their management TO
bear, and hope public opinion 1t is this hated
system of fraud against which will lift up our voice to
The people ct Virginia; Will them aiust this obi
Gus and nefarious rcgula ten of their affairs by certain
few.
Can we believe the Enquirer sincere when it talks Of
New Jersey, Maryland Ohio, louisiana a majority of
New York, Sc. sc. ST. against the Administration? We
scarcely deem such wG worthy of serious rer
taton The truth is, this particular crisis it is all inn
poant to the of the Combinations tina thew should
impress that belief generally among people If tie
friends of the Administration be convinced that their
cause is hopeless that very conviction will defeat them
We therefore most soiemny gains, the insidi
Gus efforts of the enemy deceive divide and conquer
we can soennIy the Enquirer, that no, deem
our cause desperate, hut exactly the Those gen
en'en will probably have this illustrated, ere long
TO their hearts
