LTTCHFIELD, OCTOBER is, I8l7.

The Jackson prints Of late have been 20 very con-
fden' Of the success ofihe Military Chieain" in the
uext Presidential race, that Of the Iihorous
friends OF good order and able and admin
stration, have been led to express doubts upon the
subject, whether violence, intrigue and corruption
will not gain the ascendancy after the expiration Of
Mr.. Adams four years Of public service. II is
favourte plan with the leaders of the "opposition
discourage candid and moderate politicians with
boiserous assurances that all their abours support
the administration will be in van-hat Jackson must,
and most assuredIy WILL be elected at the next trial
that such is the will OF the sovereign people, publicly
expressed in almost every part Of the country Such
the sentiments tine Hartford combination paper,
the editor of which expresses whining sorrow that
the majority Of the freemen Of this state blind
to their duty and interest to unite their support to
a sinking cause-an act for which they will sorey re-
pent in few yeaH;-and even prophecies, with the
utmost assurance that the time will come when we
shall even deny having opposed the jackson par
ty Perhaps the time will come when the Independent
electors of Connecticut will be ashamed of their pres
ent political prediIectons-and when we shall deny
having advocated the of patriotism and truth,
and opposed fasehood and corruption; but yet we
see no evidence that such will ever be the case.
Maryland at the last election gave seven votes for
Jackson, and three for Adams. The late election in
that state turned upon the presidential question entire
Iy, and the result is so OF the members of Assembly
are warm friends of the administration, and 30 are
jackson men. The former number might have been
swelled to g., had the administration party been
much united as their opponens but in several coun-
ties they run sets Of candidates, and thus
by dividing their strength the opposition run in IL
candidates by plurality of votes.
Delaware has by common consent been yielded to
the Jackson party: yet Mr. Johns, the administration
candidate for Congress, has received an election by
majority of hundred over James A. Bayard Esq.
the opposition candidate and in the state Legislature,
the returns give in favor Of the adminstra
ton Just previous to the election, Maj. Noah OF the
N. Y Enquirer, in anticipation that this state would
be strong for Jackson, said "Deaware is little
state, but she has soul big enough for continent"
After the result of the election was known, he added,
1.-THE Adams men boast of their success in Della
ware---we could put the whole into breeches
pocket"

son must be elected, we prefer he should receive his
appointmentt,o Houston, Dcsha q Co. rather thaa
from more virtuous and worthy citizens.
The c;ty OF Philadeph supposed to be the head
quarters Jacksonsm has just elected the Hon. John
Sergeant an able and decided friend Of the admins
tr;on, member of Congress, after close contest,
over the Hon Joseph Hemphil the Jackson candid
ate. Even alderman Bnns, the able editor of the
Democratic Press, and Matthew Carey the powerful
writer upon Domestic Economy, could hardly have
hoped for such result in place where, but few
days since, committee OF more than one hundred
persons raised for the express purpose of public
" insulting Mr. Clay. should he pass through their
city, as expected.
Virginia |: also showing strong indications that she
will not long be governed by the Richmond Junto -
and that Gov Giles threat of separation of the union
will not be backed up by majority of her sons Asa
minor evidence of the state ofeeng there, Niles Re-
gster states that Is administration papers support
ed in that state and but Ii Jackson prints. conven-
.cn of the friends Of the administration is to be held
at Richmond in January next to form an electoral
ticket and delegates to this convention soon to be
appointed by the different counties. large meeting
was lately held at Fredericksburgh, AT which T. I.
Brooks, late Gov. of Va presided; delegates were APP
pointed, and the following Resolution passed.
"Be it Resolped, That we would regard the eleva-
ton of Gen. Andrew Jackson the Office of Presi-
dent Of these United States, departure from the
principles which have hitherto guided the people in
making choice of their Magistrate land as endan-
gering the peace and permanency of happy union,
and that we will unite with fellow citizens, in all
lawful and proper measures calculated TO defeat the
attempt to elect him.
"Judge Brooke, and Hugh Mercer, Esq. were APP
pointed as Delegates to the Richmond Convention"
This will suffice for the present in proof that there is
as yet no danger that Gen. jackson will be elected
the next presidency.
Mr.. EDITOR,
In our town the folks are all real old republicans&
strong for Adams. Now tother day happened to
the Times, and the editor said, Jacksonli be elected
next time and the republicans will all repent because
they opposed him. Now thinks is the time for me
to make speck-Tve been wanting to 60 deputy this
good whilea when Jackson gifts elected, and the
publcans repent they'll sarn prove their repentance
by their works and send an old tried Jacksonte rep
resentative. Now little while ago Squire CIinkum,
Of somewhere east, .old me that Adams and Clay
was riding all the time, day and night buying up and
tn oil
