ELIAS PRIMROSE, Chairman.
The democratic committee correspondence, al.
so having taken the alarm at the conduct Of certain
jackson men, processing before that to be democrats,
Instantly discharged the trust Of faithful cennels,
and issued An advertisement inviting all such as
were hostile to the views of those who had broken

and excellent government cannot lose by reflection,
and must and vii! gather fresh strength from fresh
opposition.
We have no time to descend to enumeration
OF the many instances of Inconsistency ana manes
,prgiyersat.on from formerly ayowed principles
,scoverable among the ranks OF the opposition in
this state. While some of those who now boldly
advocate the election of General Jackson, former
" denounced him as a military despot,' 'cu
throat, and blood thirsty tNrant' their deelara
stions and essays did not escape our attentions and
we will not now consent to be shifted about in
the hands of any political gamblers however highly
they may estimate their pretended rights to direct
others, or however much their pride may be NOR
tilted by finding themselves deserted and despiset
Tor their inconsistency.
We pass without notice the malignant Islander.
which have been causelcssly heaped upon the
Executive and Judiciary oftlis State. Those pol
itical blood-hounds which have been set upon the
Administl alton of ire General Government an,
taught to yep corruption! corruption!' have
been made TO rush with savage ferocity npon every
man who has had sufficient honesty and courage
to dospse their yells and spurn their brutality
The Government Of Delaware requires no defence
from us and the confidence Of the people in tina
Government will never be diminished by the how
iings of the pack which can be let loose from it
Kennel, at any time, upon any vrluous and heloura
Bile man who may attempt to preserve his persona

tain the highest confidence in the patriotism, til
ability. and the integrity, Of JOHN QUlNC7
ADAMS, and all the other members OF the cablne
which he has called to his assistance.
Resolved, That our regard for llENRy Clay, III
distinguished Statesman, the accomplished orato,
and the ardent patriot, has not been diminished b
the calumnies Of Andrew Jackson and his partisan
Experience has always shewn that those are mos
suspicious who themselves most obnoxious
suspicion, and while we view, in such Of the d
cpes OF Andrew Jackson as rely on the truth ofth
charges against Mr. Clay an Illustration Of the ma,
i'm that excessive credu|ity is excessive weakness
we consider Andrew Jackson as much more Just
liable to condemnation on his own charges than IL
faithful servant of his country whom he has markt
out as the victim of his ferocious resentment.
