TO thom this perfect right, the spirit of the
stitution DO preserved. But we now contend that
Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Indisna and Missouri, all
preferred Mr. Adams to Cen jackson, because in al
o those States. the united friends of Mr. Clay and Mr.
Adams, outnumbered those of Gen. jackson, and be-
cause MIR. Adams preferred before Gen. jackson
by Mr. Clays friends, who thus held the balance in
their hands, and turned the scale in favour of NJ,
Adams as they had right 10 do. Had Mr. Crawford,
friends found il necessary TO exclude Cen Jackson
by acting upon their second choice, we affirm upon
undoubted authority, that Virginia. n. Carolina and
Deia~are. would have voted in the House of Repre-
sen'a'ivea for MIR Adams, that the probability ;s
NAT Georgia would have voted in like manucr* This
would have swee MFR Adams ma ioritv 70 s,x.een or
seventeen; and though the circumstance would not
have made the second choice Of those States more in
oisputahie than II now IS, should have heard none
o!these p'ainuve strains abouthe Injustice and violence
done to Cen jackson & the will people No nius
ice was done to Gen jackson. Had the people elected
hr, he would have been President in spite of Mr.
Clay and his friends. twas because tho people did
hos elect him. that the House of Representatives made
The election and devolved their choice upon John G
Adams. Every circumstance favored the success of
Gen. jackson before. In N. Carolina, where Mr..
Crawford had plurality, Gen. Jackson receve1slhe
vote by the union of %tr. Adams friends with his. In
New jersey where Mr. Adams had the plurality, Gen.
Jackson received the vote by the union of his and Mr.
C.awford's friends. Wherever there vancouver
ing and combination, that nanGuverng and COM
hination in his favor and he by this means
obtained twenty three electoral votes that Mr. Crar7
fore, and DIR Adams entitled to- had ticket been
for each Yet under al these advantages he did not
receive votes enough hy trty-two to elect him Prcsi
dent. IT is nonsense therefore we'll as downright
hypocrcy to pretend that he the choice of the
people, and to hcwail his defeat in Congress- as inus-
tce done to him, and violence offered TO the constitu
ton. II is bait thrown for gul!s, and which can
deceive none but guls If the people can be dcluaed

would have been driven second choice and that

the difference this would have made following events
Adams would have had IS II States iory to ooA

have been OF this number, and at this day Virginia, instead!

degradation of being ruled by military chief,ain and
