The following extracts Of letter, from an emn.
ent politician in Ohio, Of the Opposition side, TO the
Editor of the Albany Chronicle, will be gratifying
10 many of our readers. 1t is candid avowal ot
political motives aud facts, from one emnently
QUALIFIED, by his services and standing in the opposl-
ton party, to give exposition of both. The wri-
ter was an ardent friend of the late amented Gin
ton and at his death he felt no long 7 the same in
tlucement to support candidate, who if elected,
will now be completely under the management OF
Southern poIiticians. The writer. like many others
If the personal friends of Clinton, supported Gen.
Jackson for the Presidency. under reasonable IN
preston that if elected. Clinton would be at the
head of tile Cabinet and have indirectly the COM
rlete control of his administration. The writer,
likewise was one Of the oldest and most consistent
supporters of General Jackson in this state. The
neutral position he assumes now, and his expressions
of confidence in the Administration 0f MIR, Adams,
to which at one time he was So warmly opposed, rs
an evidence Of the triumph OF principle over per
sonal feeling the more creditabe as 1t is rare. The
extracts of this letter are well worthy OF perusai;
no man has had an opportunity OF being more CON
versant than this writer with the SUBJECT upon "hich
he writes.
81 am taking, at present, no part in the pending
election Governor Cnton's death took me entire
ly out of the political eld-knowng or at least be-
leving, that, since his departure, we had no Jack
sonan in the north who, in the event of Jackson:
election would find seat in the cabinet, who wouic
have the inclination the talent to foster or cher
ISL northern interests and counteract the wiit
schemes of the southern Hotspurs.
ssHayng been one of the first to bring forward
F, Gen. Jackson, and one of his warmest supporters
aud having done much and suffered much, on tina
account found myself, at length connected wit
party essentially, in all respects, the very reyers
OF all their original professions, and made up, il
tins state at least mostly Of oM Hartford Conner
1ionists, having for their leaders mere scrambler
for !Dics.
u did not believe, either that Elijah Mix and c.
we're the proper persons to correct any wasteu e!
3ravagance of this Administration; decidedly tn
most economical we ever had.
ssAnother consideration weighed much with m
IN producing my present neutrality. 1t was cas-
for to discover that the constant abuse OF tho
who administer the government, tends to bring IN
contempt the very form of government itself,
teach the abandoned villain to set the law at de
ance, and to trampie the vlrtuous and the goo
find 10 be cGield. Mr.. adams has administered
government fairly, honestly, nad correctly. and
done more for the state Of Ohio. than oil former pr
Sdeas, put together His appointment of the re-
dents Of other states to Offices in this state, and
Rufus King, gave us, it is true, great offence
he represents Us and our interests fairly in his fl
cign and domestic, policy, and for the life Of me
cannot oppose him any longer.
