Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1827-12-12

nc people nrc arousing from the ~letharsy under which
hey have long lahored, and are holding meetings in
ar'ous parts OF the statar We deem il. unnecessary
o advert particularly TO these meetings-suNice il to
ay mat the state ~ofpubhc opinion in North Carolina il
'ucii stronger III favor of the administration than had
been admitted; and the citizens are active
'nd Jealous IN their movements. The numbers and
espectaohity exhibited at the administration meetings
rave startled the friends of Gcpera' Jackson, aud hence
nc Efforts OF The Jackson presses 10 explain away their
eject. as was at fret said OF the Anti Jackson meet. !
.ngs IN Tins stale, they are dcuo,nina,ed "a dcmonstra |
ton on North Carolina" &c. &c. The fact is, the
OF n. Carolina are not SO easily deceived by
%intrieuers and managers, os the people OF
those sia;ess where public opinion has always been
under the direction OF party machine ry, and that ma.
ctinery is worked by designing and sk.ifnl aspisan,s.
Neither are they SD blinded by prejudice and par,y
zeal, as to lend their aid in putting down the present,
administration without a just cause. II is known that
Gen. jackson got the vote of 4. Carolina in 1924
ny the aid Of Mr. adams friends; and in the presen,
contest between these two individuals, we think il,
reasonable to calculate on the success of MIR Adams

king against North Carolina" yo should like 70
understand the meaning of ,h's language. Isit meant
'hat there can be no free, u~u5ougit, unbiased sen,;-
meht expressed against General Jackson? Are all who
oare 10 express themselves in favor OF Mr.. Adams
against the Enqrirer's candidate, necessarily the mean

areas OF honorable, high minded men who sincerely
prefer hir. A~dams-mrchm more sincerely we believe
IMAM Tue Inquirer prefers G zen. jackson. What do the
gentlemen mean by the flying squad of the admins.
'ra'ion:"-Wbere are they? We should like 10 see.
teei' touch or hear them. The Enquirer is wonderful.
Is incredu!ous if you talk about a Richmond iun,o. b,,
lis vision is singularly expanded, when i, dreams Of
"Hying squads" marching over the country, .shorse, foo,
ard dragoons," TO make Demonstrations on the people.

drank deep OF the Jackson spirit, TO have palned such
a tale upon the public.
we are gratihed TO state that the report of the death
OF Henry w. Conway from a duel :.ilh Mr.. Cr;t,en.
den' is incorrect. The Arkansas Gazette states that
"the discharge from Mr.. Crittenden,s pistol tool, efsc,

That from Mr.. Cnnway's passed through the left Ian.

The National lntelligenccr has published in con,isuous
columns, extracts from the late messages of governors Giles
an" Shuitz Got Pennsly vania) touching our federal policy;
WIN some very pointed remarks of the editors TO the dis
advantage OF the former g%enhemen. Governor Shullz goes
OF "e iaf'N' ana internal improvements; and in these
VIEWS" were madness to assert that nine tenihs of Penn
syivania are not heartily with him.. Aud re, Virginia and
pennsylvania re tngging together to elect General Jackson.
h'ther The one or the other of US will he 'confoundedlV"
duped in this business. Ifcontrary TO all human c aIcuIa.
ton, it Should be the will of Providence to scourge us by
giving triumph To the military mania, VIC prciicr that in
less Than twelve months the whole fabric Of opposition
VIII c'umbIe to pieces. 1t is impossible that a party, held
together Only by the single cement Of personal hatred to
Adams u Clay, can last long. III can, the most extra
ordinary pheronena in the moral and political history of
man. will have become bu, ordinary and common place
occurrences.
