men contrary to the usual and general course a.
dopted by them in other states. Although we
are willing to admit that the influence of the dis
tingushed gentleman to whom we have alluded.
has been great and particularly SO in that part of
the state where he is best known, and powerfully
so with the members of his own profession, yet
we incline to think, that the people, however
much they may be devoted to high minded and
prominent citizen, are convinced that they oughe
not to sacrifice principle the altar of individual
affection.
Without intending in the least degree TO detracs
from the high qualifications and standing of this
gentleman, we may safely say that the friends OF
Mr. Crawford in New Jersey, with the great body
of the Democrats see this question now in a diff
fecnt point of light. from that in which it was be-
fore reviewd The scenes of '96 are fresh IN the
memories of many OF them and the rapid approach
to those disappointing and prosecuting times. has
awakened the whig spirit of 76. This spirit it is,
operating so powerfully in every part of the coun.
try, that has made Jackson the candidate of the
people, and this is the spirit that will make him
President of the United States.
There are other circumstances, that have opera
ted in Jersey to induce belief that the votes OF
that state would be given contrary to our present
prediction, but they are OF minor Importance Of
a local character, and now to exist, while on
the other hand there are new questions arising
that tend directly to influence the people, favor
ably toward their candidate.
TO these thnss may be added fact worth them
all The merits OF Jackson have become much
more known than they were. owing to the perses
cutons, which have been got up against him, and
the ISLANDERS that have been strewed abroad with
such unsparing hand. His virtues have enabled
HIM to advance above the prosecutions in brighter
array. and to refute the ISLANDERS with the magic Of
truth. The citizens of that patriotic state from
native chva!ry of disposition, will always take
the side Of prosecuted merit and III this instances
where rancour and malice have been conspicu.
ously displayed, they will rally to the defence Of
innocence and virtue, and give an overwhelming
majority for Jackson.
