Delaware patriot & American watchman. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1828-1828, 1828-09-02

# !, inmaterai how they s.uHled the cards, Oh
,yhat means they resorted to, after the election
hv constitutional authority devolvet upon the
house of Congress, the amount is ths--.9dams Was
oIpctsd in opp0sition to the erpress desire of ma
;ority of the freemen Of our country. This pos
lively assert to be an undeniabe iact--one thing
however the coalition well knew, that Jackson
had good hand, and likewise had the Lead and
they to save their Jack, pretended there was a
mis.aeal, but fortunately it has been discovered,
that they secrctcd the card, and by so dong, ne
cessary played the hnavs.
Now let the preceding remarks suffice, for a
display of the atistocratica nature Of the politics
of the present administration And their moral
character! good ficavens!! Where is the person,
in whose heart resides the least spark Of virtue,
honor, or patriotism, that does net slcsen with
disgust and adherence upon reading the tcmoral
izing and traducng publications which teen from
their venal presses3 Where is even the ATHEIST
who, upon witnessing such scenes OF isnominions
and degrading conduct in his fellow mortals, would
not be induced to think that there must necessarily
be 6 Supreme Bein.'' to dispense retributiyc
Justice hereafter, to such debascd and malevoIcDt
creatures Yes let them reflect, that althongl
Discrimination may screen the duplicity and turpi-
tude of their conduct from the scrutnes of finite
beings, yet there is Being who takes cognzance
Of mankind's every act. And even the society of
Friends, who, although torn ana distracted by in
ternal divisions and intestine commotions, have
joined heart and hand Enthusiastically in the work
Ot falsehOod and defamation. Gladly would |
have avoided this expression Of my sentiments,
had not the glaring Inconsistency between Friends
profession and coaaAct seemed inperiously to de-
nand such a disclosure; my attachment to the
society Of Friends has been Strong, produced both
from parental tradition and and an entire appro
baton of their principles, and (unt!i recently
their conduct. Consequently 1 would not won
tonly injure The feelings Of all individual in that
society. Friends discipline strongly recommends
ancutrality in all political turmolis, from whate
YER source they may originate; and certainly
much more II would recommend a non-participa-
ton Of course of conduct that would disgrace
the character of Iotte1tot; such as ravasing
female character, invading the peaceful and quiet
scenes OF domestic repose, and ruthlessly entering
the quiet sanctuary OF the dead, for the sole pur
pose Of blasting the happiness of an illustrions
patriot, anh bringing down his gray hairs with
sorrow to the grave"-one whose heart overilows
with bencYolence ard love for his country, and
whose life has been devoted 10 its service. Now
let every Adamsite whc possesses human
feelings come publicly forward and disclaim his
appreciation of such base lies, SANDER and traduc
ton. And to those who SO do, the preceding char
acter, Of course, will not be applicable. Let them
abandon an unhOly cause, renounce its advocrtes,
and then their consoienccs will whisper peace.
