The National Journal is at a loss TO reconcile
our confidence in the strength of Jacks. :, with our
! repeated expressions of that confidence. Why
''assIre and re-assure our readers that Virginia is
sale Tor Gen.J. why write columns after columns
to make Virginia believe the statement if he
were as strong as we pretend: The answer is
we DO not write TO satisfy Virginia herself, but the
citizens of other states. We repeat the truth only
when we have TO contradict the error When we
see the parasites of the Administration boldly at
tempting to Impose upon their readers, we think il
necessary TO expose their Misrepresentation
We're we 10 permit them 10 circulate without no
ice, they would equally hold silence as they
now do our 'oiiiciousness, as UeJy suspicious %
his Is the age OF misrepresentation. An article is
now going the rounds OF the newspapers (irom the
Salem Register) which has the inodesty TO claim
TO add oracuarly, that sYrginia will not vote for
General Jackson" When such iInpudent asser-
tons arc repeated, il is easy 10 remain silent
| Diriae ct in,perd is the policy of the Admins
tation men at w ashington-but they are co,,side-
faoty at loss how to apply it. They wish if pos
sble, TO start third cGlididdfe-but thew are en-
barrasSed in their choice of the man. and the man
ner OF getting him up. Sometimes MIR. Dewitt
Clinton is to be the Decoy duck; and lately even
Mr.. Craw ford-as if that distinguished man would
lend himself to their insidious purposes Their
calculation Is, II they can in any way break the e
iectoral votes, and carry the election into the H.
OF H., every thing s.to be done by management
and they count upon majority OF votes by claim
ing Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts Yer
mont, Connecticut, Rhode Island New Jersey
Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and
Louisiana. But this expcdient will fail them
and as the Convention of n Carolina has already
taken up the administration ticket;'' so also
| IN all probability will the Conventions in Virginia
a;ld the other States This string to their bow will
| therefore snap.
! Another card which they design to play, is the
running OF strong Vice President in one of the
strong States, upon the Administration ticket. The
tSaiSm Register repeats the cue-"fhe Vice
President will alphabetically be taken from one of
the great States, Pennsylvania or Virginia. Gov
ernor Shuttle would Undoubtedly be nominated
If it were not understood that he did not desire it.
The selection will therefore probably fall on Gov
ernor tLEAsATrs, or CHAPMAN JOHNSON, ESQ.
oil Virginia. But the manduvre will fail The
reception which this intelligence has already met
with tom fellow citizens, satisfies us uDon the
subject. Suppose Mr.. Peasants TO be the man.
anu suppose, moreover, he permits this use TO be
made OF his naiue-thc superscription of his name
will stamp very little new value on the coin which
Is to be thrown into circulation. II win not proba-
bly, add lO0 voters TO the Administration ticket
Exclusive of this card, it seems That they have a.
| mother one 10 play. In their fayorite scheme OF
enlisting great names IN their cause and making
up for the want OF popularity in tle Drawers of
their note by that Of the Endorsers, ii is said that
they mean TO put Messrs. MADISON and MoNRoE
on their Electoral ticket. Even Mr. Binns who
circulated the Harris Letter, and the Decatur Cor
| respondence, proposes flames Madison an! James
Monroe, as Adams Electors from Virginia" This
wiiibe new expcdient in their capital demonstra-
tt0n.upon Nirginia.--I3ut we understand that both
these gentlemen keep, fasiidiously, aloof from the
present contest; and it is scarcely probable that
they win at this time of day, and in this manner
depart ifom :.ie resolution they have laid down 10
themselves. They viii certainly understand the
motive OF the nomination, and they viii hardly fall
Into it,
