they say OF :" the Editors OF the Richmond e..
quirer." IL is utterly untrue that the - design
alluded TO, any thing like il, has been &" comm
nicated TO u.s. i'll black y white, or orally, or H
any terms direct - cabalstic,' or in any MOI
or manner whatsoever. 1t is false that we

coniide in the Intelligence OF the citizens OF Ne
York. Ii is for them also to assist in saving the,
country from the inisrule OF the present Admin

steady and honorable perseverance in the
which they have adopet--ifthey value the primer
pies OF the constitution u the purity OF elections
il they would acquire lasting claim to the graft
tube of America-New York will support the
cause of Andrew jackson. We have the strong
est aud conviction that she will do so.
We have the best .lvices from that state. We
assured by intelligent Observers that she will
give 26 votes TO Gen. Jackson-2i votes in Dis
,rcts-that she would give that number in sepa-
rate attachments. or that she would give the whole
by General Ticket-but we have not understood.
we have not heard IL whispered, we have
the slightest belief the least SUSPICION that the
Legislature will take the election into their own
hands change the mode OF election Should any
such design, "a the lnteliisencer alludes to- he
pcradventure entertined by any OF her politicians
we would most earnestly dissuade them from the
attempt. w e DO not believe that MIR. Van Buren,
entertains any such idea. All that we know is
that in December last when such thing was casu-
ally thrown out III New York paper, he did then
express the strongest indignation at such PROPOSE
tion We that - in black and white''-and
not another word on that subject since, from him
or from any other politician iii New lork.-But,
Pssaw, "a the Inelligencer most clasSically ex
claims, enough OF this! We are firmly of the be-
lief, that the story is all a calunny-and we can
not persuade ourselves, that these repeated attacks
upon n. York. are better calculated to conciliate
or secure her vote to the PRESENT desperate Adj
ministraton.
The friends OF Andrew Jackson want nothing
but Perseverance 10 the most complete tri-
umph that was ever obtaned.-We are not i'm the
habit OF following the sentiments of Z" our friends"
at w ashington-but, OH the present occasion, we
most cheerfully adopt their expressions:
with this bright prospect before them, let the
trends oil righteous cause press with fresh
vigor, and they will ensure y still more glorious
success. Let them be hut united, firm, and con-
sentaneous in their movements, as they are intheir
principles, and victory will be theirs
The Intellgencer is so blind as not TO perceive.
that even admitting its pr0ofS, they do not come
up TO its proposition W hat is the 1,ropositi0n?-
that Mr.. " b. wishes to take the election out of
the hands of the PEG pie, and transfer to the lie.
gislature What is the proof? Why, that Mr.. "
Il. tcrOte, that jackson shall have the whole if
necessary"
HOWE BY giving it to the Legislature? Might
he not rather have meant, that the Legislature
would do away the District system, and adopt
General Iicket-in which case jackson would
get every vote-the very course which the friends
OF the Coalition took iu Kentucky Where the IL is
the great sin in all this !:
But we do not believe in such n letter at all. We
saw illusions to it floating i'll the Western papers.
We disbelieved its existence Them S. now too W hen
it has got in the NJ lntelligencer, and in the Gin
cinnatti Gazette.-We have not the least idea of
any change at all being under consideration.
