Jackson greater thor WASHINGTON.

Jackson greater than WASHINGTON.
Start not reader. raise not your hand
and utter imprecations on our head
This sentiment has, indeed, been utter
ed but not by us. II proceeded from a
representative of Virginia, a genuine
heroite The Hall of our National lie
gislature where are assembled the Re
personalities Of the people, TO obtain a
name for whom among the nations OF
the earth, George Washington had per
illed fortune and life and traitors
name--tirst echoed to the ungenerous,
nay, (for picked terms are unsuitable
to the occasionl false and co,oardly de
claration, that "Gen. Jackson IS ten
times superior to General Washington %
Washington, II is true, has left us but
bis memory is still revered, and this
gross calumna,or oftbe dead met with
prompt reprimand How infatuated,
if sincere-how desperate, If deceiving
must those men be who kali Andrew
jackson not only to an equality but
make him ten told superior to Wash
ington . he poor Indian that offers his
body. a sacrifice, to be crushed under
the car of Juggernsut, displays nothing
more of fanatacism than these idolatrohs
worshipers of the military chieftain."
The intelligent, the rejecting, and the
patriotic were startled as they read the
bold declaration jackson second
Washington" il was justly considered
proclamation. Every nation has its par
ticular great man to whom from age
to age it points as an example, but a
counterpart OF Washington is no where
to be met America produced the great
man of the WORLD, and then cast away
the mould, his equal may not be expec
ted And least of all, in him who re
corded his name among those who re
fused TO give vote of thanks to the
man, who, after filling with honor, the
highest office of h, country, laid down
his authority and retired TO the privacy
of his farm and family.

ADMINISTRATION RESOLVES

ne toloWinS resolutions nave pass
ed the House of Representatives of Mas.
sachusetts, after discussion, by vote
of 2g5 TO 25:
Resotved, As the sense of the House
of Representatives, tha' we approve
the official conduct of JOHN QUINCY A
DAMS, President of the United States,
and that we feel deep and increasing
interest in his re election to that high
Office, which his talents and patriotism
pre- emineptly qualify him to fill, with
honor to himself, and usefulness to his
country.
Rcsoired, That we approve the judi
cious, honorable, and patriotic course.
pursued by Henry CLAY, in reference
to the last Presidential election, and
that we highly appreciate the fidelity
and ability with which be performs the
duties of his present elevated station
Resolued, That we approve the en-
lightened policy which has chsracteriz
ed the measures of the present National
Administration, and that, for The sup
port of such measures, we rely with
confidence upon the generous co .oper
alton of the other States of the Union
The Administration. -Letters from
Washington assure us that the prospects
of the Administration were never more
favorable than at the present time.
Great exertions are making in " orth
Carolina, to secure the reelection of
Mr.. Adams and not without ilattering
prospects of success. Pennsylvania is
considered Safe; the Harrisburg Argus
speaks in the most confident manner on
the subject; i. seems toplace it beyond
doubt, that the vote OF this State will
be given to Mr. Adams The character
of the Argus entities it to great credit,
and that journal calculates that at least
two-thirds of the state are in favor of
the Administration. The calculation
is not predicated on a guess, but il is
said to be the result of much labor and
inquiry. OF Virginia, we have increas
ed hopes. he Columbian Csnt,nei states
that letter from Wash ngion says,
I'VE have advices from Virgina, that
Messrs. MADISON and MONROE, in an
swer to the letter received from the
Committee of the Anti jackson Con-
vention, informing them of their nom
nation as Electors state, that their a
ges and the retirement they have impo
.ed on themselves, will not admit of
their taking an active part in the politi
cal affairs Of the times; but as they have
been nominated as Electors by the Con-
ventioD, and the duties of Electors not
being burthensome, they submit it to
the discretion of the Committee either
to continue them on the ticket, or to
substitute such other names as they may
think proper. This is the substance of
the advices received here; and the au-
thority although not official, is consider.
ed to be authentic in substance"
