called on TO condemn him on such garbled states

opportunity of informing themselves personally Of
the character OF General Jackson and that many
are labourins under delusion respecting it; but

gstded by the state in which he resides, and the es
teen and admiration in which he is held by those
who know him best; when we see the distinguish
ed men who have had an opportunity Of being &C
quaint ed with his public character, and who are
as remarkable for their patriotism, as for their
sound discriminating judgment, whose exalted
worth and fame, has added iustre to the character
oil our 'countIy-when we see such men advoca
ing the election of General jackson 10 the P,esi-
dency, IT must necessarily fouify our opinion OF
his fitness for the office.
Therefore, be it resolved, That we will support
General Andrew Jackson for the next Presidency

the use OF al! fair and honorable means within our
power.
