zoned before the world, to rouse popular fsal;n

Of honor and profit. All the noise, tumult sa,

above extract and show that the deficiencies Of hs
General are such AS to completely disquary H.,
for the Presidential duties. There is DECEIT IN
all the assumed patriotism OF the opposition, which
it the people would consider, would be plainly ds
CoyerabIe. There is a horde Of ambitious asn;
rants whose restless spirits cannot wait until their
talents and services gain for them unsolicited al.
mlration and the reward OF public appointment.
who have entNined their interests with The Gene
RAILS elevation, and are using NIL means to attain
their object; which is their rNn ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
they we'll know that if jackson be elected he will
need assistance in every official act; therefore
they have warmly attached themselves to Ii,
cause. and given themselves prominence in die
contest, that cannot fail tn attract the notice and
demand the gratitude Of the General, if lie be fm
tunate.
The people may fancy they are electins, in Gen
Jackson, man VINO will execute the Government,
But they are deceived. Even his own friend,
acknow ledge his deficiencies and tell us that o,hc,,
must supply his want of abilities Now, we con.
slider il proper to know, for whom we give on,
surrages. But in voting for the General we crly
appoint an agent to perform duty which, in risli
and expedlency, we should exercise ourselves

discover the proprety of asking the assistance
OF others to DO what lie is himself unable to &C.
complish If we choose President, let us have
one, who is able to perform the duties attached to
the Office; and not General Jackson, who must
have persons to represent, and perform the Iunc
ions Of. each faculty of his mind. others must
reason for him, speak for him, and ufile for him ;
while he, the " man Of our choice,' must remain
dumb and dormant, with no excuse but the desra.

People Can the good people Ct the Union BE-

Think, fellow citizens, into whose hands you tiu.
