Is this man fit to rule over us! Reflect on
the sHbject, and do not after that reflection
hesitate to give your vote according to the
honest dictates of your own cOnsciences. A
year must elapse before the period arrives
when we are to use the most inestimable
privilege, purchased by our fathers, at the ex-
pense of much blood, and treasure---a privi-

in the ancient dominion; The Western Vir-

24th inst. now before u.s. Says 1t has long

glnla are in opposition to JackSon's election

salary of Governor of Florida
So much by way of commentary on that part of
Gen. Jacksons letter which says-"I retired to my
jarm to priuate hfe"-nor haze been scing to hold
any post longer than could be useful TO my country
not myself" So much by way of comment on the as
