majority OF the nation TO demand Of the king con-
vocation ofthis assembly according to the states &

the States General of France in 1883 and il per-
haps by this concession of the monarch, who is
said not to be adverse TO it, that our political rere-
ncration may commence. This would even be the
shortest way TO prevent both the people and sove-
reign from exclaiming against usurpation. This
starting point, altho' apparently retrograde one,
would be better than that Of lSI2-we speak OF tic
Cadz constitution; but il seems that the magistra-

chamber of Alcades of the Court, having been
seized nj the time of the commencement Of tho

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION NE&'S4,

almost certainly gone for Jackson; aud we acknow-

similar, and Of consequence, that Jackson must mr.
ccearily be President of the United States-nn event
almost incredible, when it is culmy ceneidcred in
reference to the qualities Of the man, and which We
believe to be the commencement OF unknown disas-
tiers to the United States
