we extract the following from the Address OF
Chester County Administration Meeting held Dec.
~. Of which David Townsend, Esq. was chairman
On Zoe rejecting portion of that State these consid-
erations will have their just influence, and power
fully aid in support ofthe Government
.The question now presented for our consider
alton is whethert would be better to continue the
present administration of the general government fof
another constitutional erm,or, to dismiss IL from
our service, and bring in General Andrew jackson
with such new aids IN the cabinet as he may think II
expedient to appoint This is IA question which pro-
nerly refers itself to our calm and sober Judgment.
We have no possible induccment ei'hrr 10 deceive
ourselves, or attempt to deceive others. " e shali

zens- of the GOOD or evil destiny OF our counlty-
Thosa who are adverse 10 the treasures t.id pollcs
of the present administration, are doubtiess satshec
with the course they have pursued III labnnrihg !,
thwartits progress, well as with their unTArale
cd efforts to accomplish It's overthrow But mas
much as we have always heen in favor OF the mair
features of the system, ayomedy sust-ned by siost
now in office, we feel that we should be grossly IN
consistent, and worthless to our principles, II we
were to aid in prostratng the ascettMncd friends %
our tayore policy, TO crafty any individual how
ever distinguished. Ii isa maxim with MS. to 20 lo'
men only SO far they arc. identified with Ir'Nc'
piles and measures.
Having laborcd for number Of years in supper
of a system Of national policy, row enphatlcali'
called " the american System and hhdlng ina
system in " the full tide oi successful experiment
under the present admnistratlon--we ask, as Penn
sylyanians-as American repuhlicans-what have
we to gain by an abrupt and ignomnons disinssior

in support of our svstemo This is SO notoronsy I'M
probable, that il is not even pretended. We know
that very large portion OF the opponents OF the ad
mnistratlon, III OTHER parts OF the union, are TIN
most determined enemies OF our iavorlie policy
We have the best reason to believe, that their cine
motive for supporting General Jackson, is-aot tn
love they bear him--but the hope Of breaking dow
the administration, and thereby arresttnS, Jora seas

We profess to admire the active patriotism. an

Of Tie Statesman by calling on the General to lea
our armies to victory With these views and fee

Gen. Jackson nor shall! webc preyaIedupon TO ol
