dice or worse motives wiilfuy shut their eyes
against reason and truth, and those who, though
honest in their intentions, are mislead by the
crafty and overreaching. 1t is not little ingeni.
Gus then 70 ask what man, because this has for
It's object, to make the people believe that this
matter IS not national concern, when in fact the
rights OF the whole have been invaded, and prin-
clples laid down, which if permitted to take root
and grow up into precedent, will not onl y jeopar-
dize' but absolutely destroy all our republican in
st'tutions, and build upon their ruins most obi
Gus aristocracy.
~ stated that he never made request for any
one OF the various stations he has filed. That he
never was elected to any station by the people
is true That he could not be elected to office By
the votes OF ireemen, is also true; and aware of
this tact, he has never attempted to come before
them for their suffrages, knowing that to do So,
would be to encounter certain defeat. in this
sense he has never requested office, but that he
has always been an office holder, or an office hun.
ter, the history of his life plainly evinces. What
office did he ever refuse when offered to him not
one. Did he ever resign one yes he resigned
senator ship to make way for a mission to Rus
sia. Since then every body knows what he has
been about, and the country feels the iniquity of
his acts He has been in the pay of government
almost ever since he was 81 years old, and has re-
ceived about twenty dollars per diem since that
period from the pockets of the people,
But to the question. what man is so free from
stain as MIR. Adams, the reply is brief. Every
man in this country is Ireer from stain, who has
not given Webster pledge or made a Clay con-
tract; who has not called our government weak
and penurous" when he was fching from its
treasury double salaries; who has not said that
representative must not be palsied by The will
OF his consttuents;' who, has not wasted the pub
lie money parasites for electioneerng purposes;
who has not hired presses to invade the domestic
circle, and lacerate woman's bosom; who does not
keep in the first office in his Gift man, who at
tempted to take the life Of senator; and who
does not use the patronage of government, and the
influence of office, to the enjoyment of u
surpet power; and who is not guilty of thou
sand other things that we have not time to name.
| Gen. Jackson has done nothing public officer to
change his character or to give any other opinion of bis
public life than that entertained Of him the 9Th day
Apii, 1922 At that time Mr.. Adams in his "deinitive
answer to the Spanish Minister respecting his conuc
as Governor of Florida thus speaks of him.
"Ir passing unnoticed this and other mere inpectice
AGAINST AN OFFICER WHOSE SERVICES TO THIS MA
TION ENTiTLE HIM TO THEIR HIGHEST RE
WARDS. AND WHOSE WHOLE CAREER HAS BEEN
SIGNALlZEU BY THE PUREST INTENTIONS ANI
THE MOS ELEVATED PURPOSES, / wish to be IN
derstcot abstainng from observations which, how
justified the OCCASION could but add the unpleasant
ness Of the discussion"
We recommend an attentive peusal of this sentence
the Adams viiers of this ilusrous patriot. How car
they longer remain in the pay Of man, who has thus
written Of the individual, that they called upon
efame for other than that he called blythe
people take the regns of government, of the hands
Of one WIN his sycophans cannot esteem, and whd
only receives the support Of the presses his y because
they paid Their support of him heartless and
Vile and he shall longer be able to reward
their drudgery will be the loudes to cry against him.
To those of the Adams party who have been led astray
by Misrepresentation, and who desrous Of doing right
who are honest their intentions need only say that
this is the same Gen. Jackson, of whom Mr.. Adams thus
spoke ,ha, is the candidate of the people and that
he has not changed whit since this high encomum
passed upon him. Compare this with the sanders that
are now propagaed against him, by the power and in-
ence Of Mr. Adams and then say which of the shall
rule over you.
