Sdly. Gen. Jackson in 1917, at a tim.
when the great party distinctions were recog-
Missed in all their force, told Mr.. Monroe, he
must make himself President Of the nation,
and not Of a party land recommended the ap-
pOintment to the Cabinet of men Of both par

Of an exclusive party. founded on no other ba.
sis than attachment to himself!
4thiy. One Of the greatest charges, (al-
though whDlly nnfDunded,) against Mr.. Aa-
ans, is, that he has employed his own pat
roRage to, promote his own cause. Can Gen.
Jackson, or any of his friends, who regard
public opinion, now initiate the conduct false
" ascribed TO the present Administrations and
SO sehemently condemned by the present OPP
position!
5thly. Gen. Jackson on the score Of con-
venience will make as few removals as
possible, because every appointment will dis
oblige more of his friends than it Obliges.-
Take for instance the Government Offices IN
this, tom. Suppose Gen. jackson willing
to remove tried and acceptable servants to
the publics men called to office by Jeffer-
son, Madison, and Monroe. for no crime but
that of thinking and acting with nine tenths
of their fellow citizens-we say suppose him
willing to- do thls-he could not appoint one
Of his partisans in this town, without disobli.

When the time comes, we shall explain this
to the General more at large. We commence
sending our paper regularly to him, this day,
resolved he shall know scho is ,cho.

Ma. CLAY.-The editor Of the Washing,
ton Telegraph evidently wishes to create an
alarm at the prospect of an opposition to
Gen. JacksOn's Administration. and as mat
ter Of course places Mr.. Clay foremost in
the ranks Of the anticipated party. That
Mr.. Clay will oppose the Administration Of
the General Government, right or wrong. M
one can, be made to believe she is too hon
Orable and high minded to descend to the po-
litical intr,gues and receptions which have
his enemies. MIR. Clay is Just
ly the pride and admiration Of the friends of
the American System--he has been their
friend in the hour ofneed-his talents. and the
whole energies of his mind, have been direc-
ted to one point: to render this country indie
pendent offOreign nations, and for this he is
entitled to the gratitude Of the nation. That
Mr.. Clay will be the candidate the friends
to this system at the neat election for the
Presidency, we think more than probable
we hope it may be GO, but still we do not wisf,
to see an organized opposition to Gen. Jack
son. He is cOnstitutiOnally elected, and he
is eo'sstitntionalty entitled to our respect. We
wish to give him as easy time as possible.
for the period for which he is elected, and
then let him retire to that obscurity from
which he ought never to have emerged, and
to see his place filed by person who will re-
feet honor upon the country, instead Of dis
