nef"'cdt--To a calm and Indifferent spectator, WHO
eoes not suler his feelings be enlisted his Judgment
warped nor his preJudiccs To be excited, by tho
po'tica! parisans of the day. it NAV sometimes afford
'oicrace the course of parties and to mark
The gross Inconsistencies and contradictions which al.
most uniformly attend them. 1t is wonderful JUDGED
that these facts little poticed or REGARDED Tho
op'hohs expressed and course of Iolicy pursued with
The utmost apparent sincerity and zeal at one time
are most vehemenly denounced and their very oppo,
sites resorted fn at another, by the individuals.
fhat they have said and done heretofore 10 dsreyar-
oeu ana forgotten, and their opponents condemned
as their opponents had previously condemned them,
and Tor The very thugs.
Perhaps there could be more forchle and an.
posite Illustration of these truths, than is furnished by
comparison OF the last electioneerng campaign for
The presidency of the United States, with Tic state
things since the last election The time ,cgs when
so CORDIAL were the feelings OF the friends of Gen. Jack
son towards John Quincy Adams, that they ecri>
ously and pausibly accused of urging the prccnsons
q! The former with view to promote the interests of
.Ie iat'er IAc4' Mr. Adams and MIR. lay II
walls and opponents. The friends of Mr. Clay could soc.
no good qualities in Mr. Adams. He was pronounced
by them Disguised fcderast apostae from in
'eres'cd views determined enemy TO The interests OF
nc west, and most dan.cros politician. The slight
est suspicion of attachment TO Mr. Adams, respect

Yocaes and supporters ESSAYS were written and pam
phc'S published, and diligently circulated by them, in
oc$ TO nure the prospects and lower the standing of
nir' Adams; and IT was not among the least of the
that he had ably successfully
"a eNoed The military conduct of General jackson.
These things all iorgotten-forgoten by both
sites. General Jactisons supporters longer
suspected or accused of design promote the
interests OF Mr.. Adams, viii the friends of hIr
