theIf opinions clash rPeconciieably. As a can.
dda'e for the first office within the gift of the
people composing these two parties, they have
a right to know what his real opinions are at
present. 1t is important to know what is the
true colour of his creed, whether black, white
or grey. He cannot be on both sides: but 1t IS
worthy OF remark, that whilst he is feFceI
claimed BY both, he maintains a profound and
polite silence. Even the "Whitewashing Com
mittee' at Nashville. though respectfully and
earnestly Intercepted on that sut iect, have not
word to reply. We think the inference is
Irresistible, that the General has resolved to
secure the support of both sides, If possible
BY not committing himseltat all on he subject.
The last Lynchburg Virginisn (of the 25th
ult.) contains the following paragraph:
Mr.. .WodSon.-We have received a second
communication from this gentleman, from
which we learn, that, in Disappearing of the
proceedings OF the General Assembly Of the
State, which would iimi; the power of Con
gress over t.ade TO regulations having revenue

as his opinion, that Congress has a right to lm-
pose a tariff Of duties "having tor its object tie
protection and encouragement Of domestic
nsnufsctures.' -
Gen, Jackson. The last r cbmond Enquirer
has the following paragraph:
'As to constitutional questions, we know f ON
o letter We saw many months since, under Gen
Jackson s ozvn hand, never intended TO be used,
thai he was aston shed and startled by the ex-
travagaut encroachments, supported in Mr.. a

Here then, We have. at length, some insight
into the creed OF Gen. Jackson Tie can no
longer be set up as the advocate Of Internal I'm

Pennsylvania 10 the above exposition She can
no longer be ignorant of the course which Gen.
Ja;kson will pursue, nor of the means adopted
by hin. to secure the votes of the South. She
can no longer suffer herself to be duped by his
pre- ended attachment to her policy and her in
~terests, when the fact is thus explicitly stated,
on the authority of nne OF his Jealous adherents,
that he too with Governor Giles and Judge
Cooper. is "sartled and alarmed" by the course
pursued by Mr.. Adams. That course Penn.

II is attempted to be impressed on the
public mind by the advocates of General
jackson, that when Mr.. Clay came to
Washington in the winter of the presi.
Dental election, he was undetermined
whether to give his vote to Mr.. Adams
or General jackson, being desirous to
ascertain, in the first instance, whether
General jackson. ifelected, would make
him secretary of state. How does this
square with the following entance from
Gen. Jackson's letter to Samuel Swari-
won't, of the 23d February, 1875
