and, as becomes one of my professionally hut
little on the subject of politics. I am by no
means inattentive, howeyer.to the movements
| of our government for the welfare of every
social and religious institution of the land Is
connected with its prosperity. The grow
! ing intrigues and strife of party- the last few
years, have given me- soiicitude and pain,
and particularly so, as public sentiment seems
less and less inclined to correct these national
evils. w
On the subject OF choosing our next Chief
Magistrate, have hitherto heen silent, for
have never believed that our people
would, with their eyes open, elect General
jackson; and If they do not, was willing
that they shonld appoint whom else they
thought proper. @
OF late there have appeared to me some
strange and alarming indications that the indi-
viduaI mentioned may be elevated to that high

Do you ask what object to in Gen. Jack
fon as the President Of this nation Not his
military character so much, not his want Of
talent and experience in sdiplomacy-these
are points which politicians may discuss. My
great objection is, that he is duellist, a mar
derer. Yes, Sir, on the banks Of the Cum.
berland there lie the bones of one whom
this man deliberately shot, and sents'unpre-
pared to the tribunal of his Maker. And
are we to put such yiolator of the laws of
God and man at the head Of our Govern
ment Are we to elevate to the Presidential
Chair, man whom every principle Of JUS

scaffold?
! Possibly such an event may take place.
God grant it may not. But rest assured, that
If such an event does transpre, if deliberate
murderer becomes our national guide, our
doom is fxed-you may dig spacious grave
for our liberties, and with them entomb our
social and religious blessings. Heaven viii
never smile propitiously on people guilty of
such madness.
I do not expect, sir, that my remarks will
be regarded by men who are not governed by
religious principles. But those who profess
to be Christians, in every part of the land.
