n NEssRs. EDIroRs The vain-gorlous Editor
I'M the Gazette has presumed to notice our last
observations published in your paper. lie has Ell
#hcr misunderstood or msrcpresentcl Us, much to
Mhe lisnaragcment either Of his head his heart
TNvhcn we are told that man employs others " to
.krapy his ocn Deficiencies" surely il does not
Enean that he possessed Of transcendcnt abilities.
kliut Mr. Iiarker, without giving his readers our
Enotto literally, unjustly and untruy intimates the
Following as the sense of our observations: ="
#certa,n writer in this ncighborhood who has very
.Amnch dxrkt ned counsel with words without know
#ledgc, SAYS that the declaration made by Jack
ronian, that the Gen. would collect around him, to
III nmpnse his Cabinet, the best talents OF the cOun-
#rv, amounts to confession that he is incOmpc-
lent to administer the government himself" These
are the misrepresentation Of the Jacksonian cham
Aion. Our text was before him, and the spirit Of
Eur communication could not be misunderstood -
1.-The following contains that which nothing but the
hulacity Of an elprenth -hour Jackson man could
Say was favorable to the character Of the General.
n. He (Jackson) is an indifferent writer and an
EQUALLY Indifferent speaker but such is his natural
Akagaci.y that he will Surround himself by persons
who will supply all his own deficiencies. Phil
Miaz. Now we would ask our readers Is person
- completely deficient in the essential Iuafca-
#,ions Of a President, of whom the above is a true
&portrat, deserving Of the suRrases OF people
#wha are jealous Of their national reputation and
|Esaety? If such man is fit for the Presi dental
6kchair. how many thousands can discover who are
E3cqual,y capable OF filling this high and responsible
Notice. Even MIR. Harker himself might lay claim
Ito the honor and profit if lie had the natural saga
|8city TO surround himself with persons who would
Supply all his innumerable Deficiencies. But when
linen will consider what is due to their own under
|$standnss and their country, Gen. Jackson's cleo
@tlon will be as improbable as Mr. llarker's.
| But the people have been long time gulled by
tile false reports of Gen. Jackson's wisdom, intel.
Eligence and mental requirements At one sweep
lot the pen the whole truth comes out In two
and speaking) of the most necessary pow
#ers Of a President he is deficient. and the third
(penetratng natural sagacityl extends just so tar
as to give him intelligence to know that his deti-
rencies must be supplied BY talented men.
4 Heretofore the people knew who was going to
administer the government, but this is not the TACT
in Gen. Jackson's case. lie is to have the whole
tonor and the profit rncss he compromises with has
#Mppprs for share Of the ,atter) OF being Presl-
dent Of the United States, while every movement
OF the government is dictated and guided by agents
unknown, and irresponsible, to the people.
But why should the appointing OF the acting
President, lie given to Gen. jackson : Does his
8iatara sasacity, or his Knowledge OF worthy cii-
zens surpass that of his fellow citzens that their
iaesmabe rights should concentre in him! 1t he
+ lis not to he the President why should we vote Tor
#2LIm! And that he Is not, the above sentence quo
#'ed from The Philadelphia Gazette, jackson pa
per, Is an open acknowledgment. RODNEY.
