nunciation of their party Agreeaby to this notice
a few dissatisfied men Of both the old parties. mo,
upon their own responsibility, formed caucus tick.

tive to Congress. Was this course ever before
pursued, that caucus in the corner of the State
should attempt to impose Representative upon tho
people This was called the straight forward Fed.
eral Ticke--and Democrats were boldly asked 10
vote it. Some indeed there were, who, lost to their
former pride and feelings, did vote It. 1t ought r.
be generally knswn--it should not be forgotten
that the same prominent leaders of the jackson n,r

that " if they-the jackson tederalsts could have
succeeded, in electng that Federal ticket last fail
they would not have amalgamated this year! thai
they would have been fools. to have done so that
the Democratic Jackson men would not have ash

one portion OF the jackson party repose in their
Colleagues in this unworthy opposition-and The +;
the sellshness which they all exhibit!
FELLOW CITIZENS, we have tried Mr. AL

man that is proposed as his successor--to whom ara
we asked 10 give our sufrages General Andrew

who could bring back our government to IFS ORR

Let MS not suffer ourselves to be carried a,vav b
this military parade, these pompous, and unmean.
ing titles. If need be that we must put Mr.. Adams
out Office let us be correctly informed of the char
acter. fitness and qualifications of his successor r.
we are TO lorego the advantages which we have ex
perIenced under the present Administration it is but
justice that we should be informed of the benefits
promised by that which is to be built upon its ruins
We should calmly enquire " Who as has Andrew
Jackson ~ And endeavor, ifpossibe to learn. for
ourselves, the evidences of his capacity to guide the
destlnes Of this great and ilourishing Republic.
In speaking OF Gen. jackson we do not wish TO
offend against the spirit and principles of charity
but Il his friends will push hlm forward upon our
notice, 1t is Il duty which owe ourselves and orr
take leap into the dark. five should be mista.
ken IN his character, and consent to elect him. il s
impossible TO depict the calaniies which would be-.
ta this misguided people.
Where are we to look for the qualifications of Gen.
Jackson DO his early habits and his education
furnish them The prime OF his life was devoted ia
the horse race, to gambling and loose society the
consequence OF which is that he is wretchedly def
cien IN those branches Of education essential TO the

position We would remind you with the deepest
Humiliation for the weakness of nature) of his
outrage against the peace of society in his attack
upon the Bentons-We would beg you to remem.
Der his threatened violence upon Mr.. Eppes. U
States Senator: We would refer you TO his killing
Samuel jackson with a sword cane IN the streets o.
Nashville, Tor which he was afterwards tried, bu,
escaped by the subtcrfuges Of the law.
Do his friends plead his love of mercy suffer

acter OF Gen. jackson, by your instructive love, ant
respect for this darling attribute of the Deily--bnt
You can, coolly reflect upon his cruelty and blood

Gus execution OF six unfortunate American mt

Woods--aId then ask yourselves if IN the conpOunt
of his nature, mercy is to be found
, VIII his friends contend for his respect for th,
Laws and Constitution Of his country for his de
votion to the happiness and peace of the Union?
When we take up his letter TO the Hon. Georg

reminded of his violence in turning the Legislature
of Louisiana out of doors of his contempt of thu
