If an article which appeared in the Demo
cratic Press in Philadelphia is 10 be relied up
on, the Jackson party at Washington must be
sadly apprchensive with regard to the eventual
success of their candidate for the Presidency.
1t is certainly a new mode in such case OF
feeling the public pulse, to attempt to try his
popularity by the State legislatures. IL the
Gene.al had performed any recent public SER
,ice-f he had within few months past made
any new war for The country, violated any nen-
trail territory, killed any Indians, or set at nought
the constitution, and established martial law IN
any portion Of the country, there might be some
apology for bringing his case before the State
Legislatures, for the purpose OF obtaining an
expression Of their feelings and opinions But,
situated asthings now are, it will be rather an
awkward affair 20 lug him and his object into
view in this public manner, for the mere purpo-
SEES Of electioneerlLg and intrigue. however,
his partizans who meet in caucus at Washing-
ton are the best judges Of the ways and means
TO secure his election. We think, II we may
be permitted TO volunteer little advice on that
subject, that il might not be amiss 10 get COL
Benton, General Jackson old friend and eompa-
MON in arms to write such letter for him, as
he has lately published for Mr.. Randolph, 10
induce the Virginia Legislature TO re-aPpomt
the Roanoke Senator.
To which the Editor of the Democratic Press
reples:-
If the editor oi the Daily Advertiser had
| any doubts as to the accuracy OF our iniorma-
ton as 10 the proceedings OF the Jackson eau
Gus at Washington, we presume they must ne
dissipated by the proceedings OF the Jackson
members Of the Legislatures OF Georgia and
South Carolina. They have both had caucus
&c h, ee,le az Ger, Lack sau. and
been taken, 10 gel together a Caucus OF the
Jackson members of the Legislature. 1t is pro-
posed that they shall pursue a different course
from that adopted in Georgia and South Caro-
INA.
The Harrisburg Caucus on Monday evening
las, in the N. Z. Committee room, convened by
private notices, was not however conducted
with SO muca secrecy but the proceedings are
now on our desk; nor was il conducted with so
much harmony as the Master Spirit could
have wished. The Committee of Arrange
ment however, was appointed, and the contract
will be made with the Tavern keeper and the
Dinner will BE- had on the EIGHTH OF IA
NUARi, and Infinite pains will be taken, and
divers Misrepresentation resorted to, in order
to impress The Country with the opinion that all
the Legislature Of Pennsylvania, are in favor of
General Jackson's ELEVATION to the Presidency,
although many Of tie Members expressly de-
clare their opposition to him as President, but
| will go to the OinneS TO evnce their gratitude
for his conduct at NJ W Orleans. Between the
desire 10 get up large dinner and the fear that
the health Of the President Of the U. S. will be
insisted upon, the Committee of Arrangements
and the Toast Comnitee are sadly perDlexed
We hope our friend will keep us well advised
Of all that's done, ding, or intended 10 be done
by those who wouh barter away the vote of
Pennsylvania, for tlfir own personal Interest,"
These "men Of Principles in proportion to their
interest" are sad kAves and always laboring to
do evil.
