MEETING ar CLiRkES CORNEf.
On Thursday last the e wa, meeting Of the Friends Of
me Administration at Clrkea Cofner Of such respect ab
y IN every respect cicero friends throughout the
State and u astoish the leaders OF the Opposition When
we COW der that the call ,r that meetlng was not unver-
sy known every part OF the county, and that m many
o, where i, was known it was only knowna few hours
prevous to the meetings &c &C. It was matter OF sur
nz that SO many men embed OIL that OCCASION
nasdes-l.e old and the young all testified that they had
never Witnessed such mtel, the score of character,
,,ec,ub,ly virtues and intelligence. Tie number pre-
,ent wa, between three ail four hlMrei.
1e friends of Mr.. Jackson had er county meeting on
maay the II H. at Chrsana They had longer time
ia circulate notice their mectns the leaders made ev
ery exero to number us they mad hos N 'helr 'ahNs
such vast body ofpeople, nNacclsiomed ana hhwms 10
attend on such occasions there is on the ADMINISTRATOR
side and they saw clearly that nothing but show OF num-
hers-yoters or not-codd prevent the most dishearmg
effects The number assenhed according TO their own
authori,v was about five hundred. Several were not or
aye more had not arrived at the years OF discfeuon anu
considerable number were not voters.
We were much surprised to learn that the prcentons
of several original Uniform, and consistent Jacksonns
we're neglected. and that many Of the eleventh hour men
were among the most prominent on that occasion ihey
o had horn the heat and burden OF the day are to make
r,, nr new cues in the Jackson cause, and have the
,onr Of working for those who abused Jackson While
they were his advocates This, however, is but the DC
pnnn Of these things and we coul point OUT three Pio
mineGt individuals late members OF our Legislature, a''e
uniform original Jacksonias, who Will be allowed 10 HAVE
only labour toll and trouble for the especial beneh
Jacksonas by necessity and policy and VINO denounced
the General in the decided language white they @eF
his firm and unwavering supporters This we DO not con
sder fair play and think it but right that they shou
occupy the places to which they are entitled
II ;s ,rt.,ed nv the Managers that the nomination
Mr. Johns was rejected at Chrsana, because--ths ths
and the other thing--a of which is mere trash.
When the Conferees of Kent and Sussex were know
to be friendly to the Administration, there cannot be
doubt but that decision made to DO every thng
defeat their intentions The vote was taken to IN II
YOUR of Mr. Johns, and he therefore regularly nomn
ted. -
WHY did the three lawyers SO to Sussex! VIII any ma
dare affirm that it not with the express view OF excl
ing an opposition MIR. Johns VIII any man say ia
they submitted to the decision Of the Conterees, as ha
always been DONE that the George Town meeting won
have taken place. and another man nominated Inc Lay
yers themselves know it ne yer would have happened
r,ev come home and go into the woods at the Spring
in union with their Democratic brethren Having prepa
ed every thing at George Town for nomination, TN
even desired that the woods meeting should agree to si
port the Sussex nomination, whatcverit might be.
that did take altogether; and at least one gent
man did not fancy any such gull trap.
Now all these matters and things taok place before
2l Of August, and yet told that in consequence
what really must have happened 10 or Is daysaft
wards, the Christiana meeting did not approve OF
Johns nomination.
And thus-,he long and the short of this business is
that the appointment of Conerees from Sussex, fien
the Administration, totally unexpected to the
that they saw having no hope Of Kent, that edera
preerring Mr.. Adams to Gen. jackson, would be no
nated and from that moment they determined to re
lis nomination Hence their jaun to Sussex he
their meeting IN the woods and hence their consutat!
