SUBSTITUTE,
We. the citizens of Lynchburg who are oppo-
Sod TO the election OF Gen. Jackson to the PreSi-
dencv of the United states, deem II proper to
make public expression Of our sentiments up
on this most important snbjec aud TO take snch
steps as may produce concc aud unity oiac
ton between ourselves and those of our fellow
citizens whose opin 'ons may coincide with ours
in relation TO the ensuing Presidential election.
We are oppos d Ito the election of Gen Jack
son TO the Presidency; because we believe that
! he has not the talent and information requisite
! for the proper discharge OF the duties pfthat Of
| fee aud that his temper and former habits of
! life have rendered him totally unfit fOr that c'c-
! waited aud responsible station ;-becauSe we do
| not conceive that military proves atone conSt
! tuteS any claim OF fitness for civil offices be
| cause in the many instances in which he has
! been entrusted with power. he has abused II so
| the opprcs sion of individuals, the violation oithc
! laws and the subser,ion OF the constltution-aud
because we verify believe The election of such a
man would ne dangerous To the liberties Of our
/ country.
! independently of the above strong objections.
we cannot discover any benefits that would be
/ likely 10 result from the exchange of the pre-
snut Chief Magistrate tor ten. Jackson, mas
much as we are fully persuaded that III relation
! % the subjects which have formed the ground
work o. the opposition TO the present admins
tration he course of Gen. jackson, if he were
10 be-, rcrcd, would be the same as that OF the
7tr.rn administration.
