not do. Major Barry had taken up a hopeless
cause, and was defeated.
Gen. Me:calfe, on the contrary, commenced
the contest under manifest disadvantages. He
was bui partially known throughout the State,
and his personal acquaintance extended but
little beyond the district he represented In Con-
gress. He was unable to leave Congress until
late in May, and, when he arrived, Major Barry
had already taken the field and visited large
portion Of the State. He was marked out by
the Jackson MEL as corrupt man, who had
sold the vote Of his State, and disobeyed the
instruction Of her Legislature. Every act Of
the General Government, about which there
could be a cavl, was laid at his feet, and he was
held responsible for the same. He was charg-
ed with being Mr.. Cla, man. "Mr Adams S

as the candidate upon whom they might place
TIE frmest reliance for success. His active
zeal, his imprisoned eloquence, his untiring
Industry, his large acquaintance with The ci,i-
zens of our State, the unbounded admiration
with which he was regarded by the Relief party
in Kentucky, marked. him Out, a, once, as the
most formidable leader they could procure, and
as one who was possessed of every advantage
and qualification they could desire. When he
manifested some reluctance 10 take the field, he
was pressed with solicitation from every quar-

boosted, was particularly and urgently pressed
into The contest by the Old Court Jackson men,

1HE CABINET.-lh he opposition editors are
continually crying out against the "Travellinc
Cabinet" and talking about the "eeclioneering
trips" Of the President and his Secretaries. Il
they could point out single instance Of the ne
glect Of public business or lay their fingers up.
on the omission Of single duty, there would
be some reason in their complaints. But they
know, as well as we do, that our national affairs
were never better conducted than they are a,
present, and that no one suffers by delay or ne.
glect. Besides this, there is something IN,
manly and ungenerous in these sorts of attacks.
Mr.. Adams, il is well known, is at Quincy on
business connected with his deceased fathers
estate, and his journey there was prosecuted il
the most private ard retired manner How
can this be tortured into any thing like an est,
pioneering trip? They would prevent, it seems,
even the appearance Of fila! affection, or the
performance of private aad sacred duties. As
to their charge against Mr.. Clay, il is too much
of piece with those which have been made
iOI 'lilSS " al W ShIibA
But, in his case, their maigniry is Of a stronger
cast. They iuhuman'y add their SCOTS and III
dicule to the pains and misery ola distressing
sickness. Dfen we should think, would hardy
dream Of accusing him with tina, as crime
which is the only means preserving his e1is.
enee. A political warfare, when thus conduct
ed, becomes brutal and ferocious. 1t DESTROYS
every thing like kind and honorable feelings
Gen. Porter, too, they know, is engaged in ar
ranging his private business previous 10 ID:
removal of his family TO Washington.
But how easily can the tables be turned.
They are accusing the Administration Of TIA.
Yelling through the country on eIecIioneering
trips, when the leaders Of their own party are
engaged in the very same thing. Without max
ing any direct charges, suppose we were to ask
few questions. Why did General Jackson
both this and last year, remove from the Her
mltage, and take up his head quarters near III:
Kentucky line, during the Kentucky elections
Why did General Jackson travel from Nash
vile to New Orleans, in public and pom2og'
manner, 10 hear his own praises, and snuful
adulation on The "lsined gale" Why is Var
Buren, and Cambreleng coursiDg it through
New York, attending political meetings ard
organizing the Hero's party Why is Mal'i
Lee, in the character of subaIern, dispatched
from the hermitage, with "news from ,he (irrt'
raj numbering at his back? Why are Eal0''
and host OF other minor but kn'
dred spirits, travelling up and down, Spying
out the nakedness" OF their cause? When they
return satisfae tory answers 10 these queries,
will be time enough to charge others vita
"electioneering trips" "Pluck the beam IRON
thine own eye, before thou akesi the moai from
thy brothers,"

success. However, "the party" claim it as
their right to nominate him, and insist that he
shall yield to their request. Mr.. " B. will
have hard struggle to determine whether he
shall submit to the policy which will prove his
ruin, or whether he shall reject the entreaties
