II OF Gen. Jackson unfitncss for the Presidency,
his friends have furnished the strongest evidence
Of him. Mr. Jefferson said, he would as think
of making "a sailor OF cock, asoder of goose,
President of Andrew Jackson"
u Witness what his consistent friend Mr.. Ritchio
thinks of him. = T. r.
sAsto Gen. Jackson. we would speak with respect:
wc feel for him the sinccrest gratitude. Yet, even
'Crattude must have bounds, hen the happiness of a
whole nation is at stake. Bring his qualifications 30
hc bar Of public opinion and how will they stand'
IIe saved New Orleans; he is warrior; an apt md
can able of energy of public spirit, of in
'tCGrty of genius. But are these oil the gualiiica-
"tions which required in the President Of the u
estates, lie TGcn. JAcKsoN1 10 distinguished sol
der; but Is he Statesman? Where is the evidence OF
sit? Where his political speeches. his dispatches:
his essays? his measures? Where are the evidences

life of study, and Of experience is essentially ne
"cessary? COMPARE HIM WITH ADAMS ana
''1rih Cru,cEord, AND HOW INFERIOR MUST
Gle BI-whnn VIC take into account the series oil

exhibited Richmond Enquirer, Feb. Co. 1924.
1T has long been maintained as u maxim, that the
rnan who cannot obey, ought not command; and the
rule i'll the present Mt least stand upon this
sssound reason that the who makes his vii
and pleasure the sole rule and guide OF oil his actions,
bCt,wsfcd cit the large j1otce,S IF Pre-
"sident of HE L. States. We want for that office
sTnan who will cooy and carefully observe the law
"and the Constitution: for these to be his guides
Gin the administration of his powers. Now, is Gen
sJacson possessed Of That cool and tempered spirit
sE,ojtjch nil TT him far Executive .H1gistyutc? Ha
she exhibited that spirit in past times? What says
ssor instance the history of his measures in 1882
Richmond Enquirer, .Rnrct ~, 1924.
~Gen. Jackson, it eecn0s, always thought Mr.. Ma
edison was sone of the best of men, and great civilian
"-but did not prefer him az President, because ~
alvays believed that the mind of philosopher cout
Snot dwell on blood and carnage with any coTposUe
