DIALOGUES OF TIE LIVING. No. /.
SENATOR and GovERHoR.

t'ehm0r. Wen, Governor, the machinery IS all
10 motion. All is fair in politics - and on the 4th
OF March, 1929, youwll be the veritabc Uncle San,
Of this nation.
Gopernor. But would it not be polite to let
jackson come in for one term with an engagement
not to be Il candidate for reelection.
Sen. have tried that game and if had push
ed II one inch further, he would have hung me, us,-
der Tic second article. He stamped, and swore, and
denounced you and me, and all the Yankees and
the Ohio men; and declared that the victory of N.
Orleans entitled him to the Presidency for e. an,
to the naming of his successor
GoD. If that is his game, we must let him down
easy. Would the New-Yo orl Enquirer, and the
Evening Post, and the Richmond Enquirer, and the
Argus, aid us in this business
Sen Every man of them will do as | say. You
recollect, that when the Editor of the New-Y ork
Enquirer saw the letter of Buchanan he declared,
IN the face OF day, that it strong confirmation of
Jacksons charge OF corrupt coalition This editoris
prime hand. If he and his partner at whist did not
happen to hold trump he would roar out,
four by honors, and three by cards and would
mark them up; and wo to the man who should ques
ton or disturb his counters. lie must lead out against
Jackson, and the others will follow suit.
Gov. But when and how?
Sen. Not now and in fact, not till May next !;
and then to begin by moderate concessions of Jack
sons unness for the presidency, and to suggest the
necessity OF adopting another name, to be supported
by the States and the men, pledged to break down
the present administration. You will be the obyi-
Gus candidate
Coz. And your place in the Cabinet is equally
obvious. We make no bargains but the voice Of
the nation will require it ofme; and as, in my nau
gural speech should declare my resolution to serve
but one term, your rank and title on the 4th OF
March, 1885, may be easily calculated But am
not without my fears, that you have already given
jackson too strong lead.
Sen Jackson is more disqualified for the Presi-
| dency than any other man, whose name has been
| ever thought of for the office. He has many pos
tive dsqualiticaons, arising principally from an
| ungoVernable temper and most irritable habits. He
has no talents civilian and has knowledge OF
our foreign relations s-Every state in the union can
offer more suitable candidate, and several Of
fer more than dozen better entitled to the office
The brllliancy of his success at New-Oreans made
him rallying point for dsafection and opposition
OF every sort, and he gained plurality of electoral
votes, not one ofwhich was given him under an I'M
presslon that he had the high civl qualifications
cessary for the Office. He is exactly such man as
we want for this occasion He will serve as your
shield will stand the fire of the Adams men till their
ammunition is exhausted and then the real election
ball will be opened
Gov. But how are you to drop Jackson from the
lcompeton
Sen. Have you observed, Governor how seldom
and how moderately the papers under my direction
have asserted the competency Of the General ? 1t
Twill be easy in due time, to agree. that his quail
fcatons and pretentions merely military, and
we can agree, that Buchanan and Markley did not
support the Carter Beverly story; and as to the
Bailey letter, seen sometimes by three members o
Congress, sometimes by greater or lesser number
we can agree, with great truth, that it was never
\ n n lar amen
of the habeas corpus at New Orleans. his agency il
the execution of some men, his conduct in the Sc
minole war, and his gubernatorial career in Florida
have made such an impression on the public mind
that majority for him cannot be obtained. Th
predictions of New York for Jackson, if no
questionable, can at any rate be withdrawn by
breath from you and me, and without New York
the friends of Jackson dare not risk his election
They will support the hero of the Grand Canal.
Gov. Have not the editors of the Richmond In
quirer Evening Post, New York Enquirer, and Al
gus, committed themselves and their papers e
ectuay in favour of Jackson, that there is Oper
e ing for retreat?
e. Sen. In 1924 all these editors committed then
" selves ehectualy against Jackson, that their e
L. forts in his favor of no avail He of the Ne
York Enquirer, then told his readers, that Jackson
,e "avowal that he would have bent the laws to su
v his purpose. and hanged Cabot Otis and Lyman
at the Hartford Convention, probably including the
!" respectable secretary: all exhibited ierocious di
OF position rammelled by constitutional or leg;
re barriers, checked by no human or just considers
ct TONS" And he adds, 1t is out of the question
d, out of all reason to think of him eue1 for one'
for President
In the Albany Argus of May ss4 we read, th'
1t is an idle thing in this State, however it may

I'd Mr.. Jackson He is wholly out of the question,
