We egsrd with contempt the insinuat,ons %
those who would iupugn motives They b.v"i
said sometine of hunger for Office: 1t is no pre-
sumsbe that those with whom desire for office
the motive 10 actiot, have 80 far mistaken th-i
az, a. 10 be fou0l among tho-e who have no
Office 10 confer Office can ony be ob'aine from
the administration, who have Offices and money
too, for their friends. Therefore, we presume
that IL il among the adherents and parasites of IA
al" lnisraon, that hose. who hunger for Office
TO be found.
The Anti Jackson, or properly speaking. the
Adams meeting, in the city of Richmond, with
The brother Ia law of a mamber OF the Cabinet a,
their head, (Judge Cabel say, "They canno'
apr owe oil the personal aud >indctive spirit IN
which the opposition has been conducted;'' ami
this sentence was written by committee of which
John Hawbhen Peasants was member. What
think hey Of the spirit with which The a, ack on
Gen. ckson and his lady he been conducted?
They say that ''they disirnst the soundness of
cause hich relies Tor success upon dissracing he
character Of its prominent adver<sries - And yet
their partzans seem hitherto to have placed their
chief relisnce ON dsgracIng &c Jack-on. Bai
h vey question between us Is Ought this ad-
mini-tration to he dsgraced for having perc hased
he 90 erumeni by corrupt promises, or ugh the
sale to be ratified and confirmed, and the .dmin
is,ra'ion applauded, by people who deesn them
selves betrayed, and their republican institutions
dishonored,
The, furthe' say that the charges against Hen
ry Clay and John Quincy Adams reflect upon the
character of the county, much upon Indi-
viduals II is true B,I the frie, ds OF the
country be silent when the people are hetra Ell
and their rulers corrupt, because the country j.
di-honored? No. The way o restore the honor
# the conntry is to expose the corruption and de-
rade the perfidious offenders. To sanction peril
dy and continue corrupt men in power world in
deliby disgrace he country. II is from couup-
lion and from force that we apprehend The
chief danger to our institution
They further say OF Gen Jsck-on, that . hey
indulge fear 'hai he will wag war on the lib
critics f his country" Aud vet the object a.
ganst him his military gu 'litica'ions. Do they
geek TO establish rule, hat he ma 81 ho shall
command he armie- of the United S'afes in wEr
and acqsre Il ry, shall therefore be excluded from
the office of President? Such rule would ex
cluds from the arms ever high minded, honorable
man, Of supe ior talents We will say that we
have no fear that John Quincy Adam will make
war against The liberties of his country, But we
spprebend that he has assaed and will sssai
those liberties b. corruption.
The' furthet ask, "what benefit will the people
of Virginia derive from the eertion Of Gen. Jack
'onF We reply, tina, the great question which
aow divide, The people of this nation is not con
corning the construction of the constitution lie
policy OF the government, ar local interests The
question is Shall he people elect their President
shall The Office Of President be qu.drenuiay
sold for promises of Office disposed of by bar
gain among factions it, Congress! BY he election
of Andrew jackson the people of Virginia and
other stale will derive the benef of esab
fishing rule, that their President shall go into off
fee untrGnl1IelIed b. engagement or bargain;
that he shall b. their President, and not the
'uTe Of influential individual or OF fac ion
john q. Adams il the President of II. Clay o
re-elect him oud be TO confirc & ap rove of the
barg in, and TO sanction the precedent which has
destroyed he purity nf the government and tar
nished the national honor. we therefore express
onr wish and pre- eTence that General Andrew
Jackson may be the next President Of the United
States
