II is admitted that many friends Of Gov. Clinton
supported Gen. Jackson, mt because they supposed
Jackson ,ad,the requisite qualifications Tor the pre-
sidency, but because Mr.. Clinton was to have been
Secretary Of State, and in fact president in reality.
They knew that there was no just comparison be-
tween Adams and Jackson, but they could consent
to aid in the election of the General, when their votes
were, indirectly, to benefit their favoure Clinton
Under him, though Jackson might nominally be
president they hoped the country would be safes and
they considered that Mr.. Clinton would, OF course,
be his immediate successor in form.
It would be wrong view of this matter to sup
pose that all the friends of Mr.. Clinton, living in
New York, were thus actuated. The contrary is
we'll known. The question with many frienIs OF
Clinton was not upon the merits OF Adams and jack
son-the country and Combnation-but what course
would most certainly and speedily make De Witt
Clinton not only president in reality. but president
in FORM There was no love or respect for Jackson
in this matter-it being purely political course,
deemed most expedient, and perhaps the only expe'
dent, to advance Mr. Clinton.
| It's on this ground, and others connected with it.
that we may ,asily believe in very considerable
change in the political affairs of the State Of New
York.
