chige the duty assigned Ihtm, and bsg leave TO
submit the following REPORT:
There are at this time, and win be, in all hui
man probability, but Two persoas presented 10 The
people of the United States a. candidates for the
high and responsible Office OF President. A choice
must be made of one or the other and the cues
ton TO be decided on is, which of The two shall
be chosen9 In order to determine his in,eres-
ting question: question upon the correct deci-
sion of which depends, perhaps, the permanent
existince OF the only free COVE Ament upon earth,
IL will be necessary to examine into the political
principles, the characters and the conduct of the
individuals fIom whom this selection is to be
made. As TO the two great questions which
have divided the politicians OF this country,
tor many years psst, your Committee assert.
without the fear OF refuaton, thai the opinions of
Mr.. Adams and Gen. Jacsson the same and
they firmly persuaded that Gen Jackson in the
event of his election, will adop; be same course
of policy which has been recommended by the
present administration. As the grounds of this as
eeIiion in relation the tariff, your committee
fer to the votes of Gen. Jackson in the Senate of
the u S. 10 the year 1924; to his celebrated letter
TO DIR. Coleman, in which he avows himself not
only in favor of such tariff will protect s en-
courage the manufacture of such articles as are
necessary for defence in time OF war, but al-o
OF such one as will, by drawing from sgrcul-
lure portion of labor employed in H. g and. en-
ployihg it in mechanism and manufactures theirs -
by create home market for your bread stuff 80
and also to the ciTcumstance of his being supported
by Pennsylvania (if he be supported by that stae)
as . tariff man. He will. therefore, if elect.
ed President of the United States, 90 into
Office bound by every lie Of honor, and influenced
by every consideration Of interest, 10 support The
tariff.
In relsiionto the other question, az to the pew
ef Of the general government to carry the sys-
TEN OF internal Improvement, your committee
have as little doubt as TO the sentiments OF Gen
Jackson.
When they take a review of the conduct of
Gsn. Jackson in those instances in which he has
been entrusted with power, they cannot for a
ment believe that he, if invested with the power
and patronage belonging TO the Presidency Of the
u. 3. would, be restrained by any regard to the
sights of the states from pushing tha' power and
patronage TO the utmost extent, in order TO the
strengthening of the arm of that goyTnmsnt over
which he was pI esidIng. When, your committee
would asks has Gen. jackson ever been restrained
from doing sby act 10 which his temper and feel
ipgs prompted him. by any doubts as to the pow
with which he invested? by any regard to
the rights of the states? ty any respect TO
the laws aud constitution of the UnIon? Shall be
who inSulted the governor of state, and pro
ClSined that he had right TO issue any order to
the militia Of The state which he presided, as
long as he Gen. j. with bis army was encauped
within the limits OF that state, be considered the
advocate of state rights? Shall he, who suspend
