the times: There is one circumstance which has
struck us as remarkable and strongly indicative of
tJackson's success aud that is, the difference in the
temper, SPIRIT and character OF jackson and Ad-
ans meetings. Every thing seems to 20 heavily

THE TEST.
81 scarcely ever bet. have hazar,,ed nothing
as yet In this way on the present contest II de-
part from my usual course in this respect at this
time, my object is not much TO win money as 10
expose the receptions procsed by the friends of
Mr.. Adams, and 10 dissIpate any deusiun which
may result from them. The friends of the admin
istraton really expect nothing in this state and
they are conscious that the game IS ,,p with them
n the Union. But they have not the cantor or
the iirnness, to acknowledge it. Their multiplied
and constant efforts TO disguise these facts and to
disseminate contrary belief make il an incu,n-
oent duty To compel them 10 show the extent TO
which they believe their own tales. 1 shall! pro.
pose to them a course that will leave them no al
tentative, but to accept the Offers or by silence or
refusal admit not only their certain defeat but the
10 conclusion from which they cannot escape
snaii test the sincerity of their claims ! shall
snow 10 our friends throughout this state and in
other states what the actual VS. entertained
here OF the condition of oar cause; and shall
snow also that the pretensions set up in the admin
!stration journals, mean nothing, and are intended
Tor effect abroad for here, we repeat thew really
entertain no hope oil success. l offer therefore
the following bets. If the partizans of Mr.. Adams
nave the slightest expectation OF success-if thew
have not abandoned all hope-they will take some
} OF these hazards: III they really think, us they
pretend to Think they will promptly close with all
OF them. At any rate, 1 ask OF them one of three
things,-eithcr that they take the BETS or hone ST.
~ confess that they dare not, aud thus Weld the
result; or avow that they have conscientious OH
Jections. II they make The latter ayowaI then of
course we shall have done with tire matter: But
TINS they can scarcely do c0nscientiouslg; Tor the
system Of betting Is peculiarly their own; they
nave offered and accepted these tests al every
previous election; they have pretended to offer
them at the present; and they have now. az
know, several bets pending. Their only al,crna
tive IS to accept the following offers, or admit ta-
cIiy oy 'heir silence, or openly ard flirly, tina,
