Delaware patriot & American watchman., 1828-06-03

limo and evidently alaborious article, appeared
IN the last DeIaware Journal, which ifnot noticed,
,vould scarcely pay the editor for the attention he
has bestowed to the Subjective will remark in
,be first place, that this as we'll as other articles
that we have seen recentiy in many Of the admin
;,trston papers, show that, the prolific inventions
If the coalitionists have nearly failed them, and
that tbey are at last reduced to the necessity OF
abandoning the practice of sandering Jackson,
and are compelled to turn all their industry and
talents to the defence Of their idol against the de-
yelouments of truth, that arise from the nycstiga
tious Of the representatives Of the people, and from
facts displayed by the cabinet, and hangers on.
This we are glad to see, for two reasons. First,
because it shows even to them, how entirely invui-
rerableis the candidate Of the people, how complete
" all the SANDERS that have been invented, and
circulated with so much cunning and zeal, have
failed Of the intended effect, how harmlessly they
have fallen at the feet of the great and good man
| they we're levelled at, with such malicious aim ~
Second, it proves that they are convinced, the de
yeopment Of the principles Of the coalition has
had an effect on the public mind, that now needs
a. the talent, all the cunning, and all the zeal, Of
/ the pensioners to defend the shattered and falling
fabric against the assaiments Of truth. These are
healthy signs, and show that the public body re-
tains that natural stamina Of muscular action, which
enables it to triumph the poisonous doses that
have been prescribed and administered for the last
three years.
1t is at least gratuitous assertion, that Gen.
Jackson "has not sufficient merit of his own to
rely on for success" and that it is " necessary to
impress the people with belief, that something
really wrong took place, when Mr.. Clay voted for
. Mr. Adams.''
Since the days Of Thomas Jefferson there has
not been a man SO much traduced as the pre-
sent candidate of the people, and we hope for the
honor of our country, that another repetition
Of such yirulence will not occur. In both
these instances the great men so unsparingly viii
lied, have rested their cases with the people, rely
ing solely on their own merits and patriotism, for
that just award, which we'll informed and virtu-
ous public, never fails to give, against malicious
and ruthless persecution. 1t is owing to the su
peror merit of Gen. Jackson, and to his great and
patriotic services, that the unhounded sanders that
have been strewed over the world against him. have
not utterly destroyed him. A man of less merit,
would have been swept away. would have been an
initiated by half the vtuperative abuse and false
hood, which he has endured, unmoved amidst the
ragngs OF the prosecuting storm The pillows of
faction have fallen harmless at his feet although
they have burst their bitterest force upon him. Di
rect such storm against Mr.. Adams, with but
tythe of the force that has swept the hurricane
against Jackson, and he would be swallowed up,
enguphed in oblivion. He has no merit to oppose
10 such violence, no patriotism to shield him from
such an attack.
1t IS not necessary to impress the public, with
belief that something was wrong in Mr.. Clay's vo-
ung tor Mr.. Adams. 1t is an impression, natural
y made on the minds Of all men, who desire to
preserve the principles Of repubicanism in their
purity, that something is glaringly wrong, when
representative violates the known will Of his con-
sutuents, and not only does it himself, but uses
me influence of station and TALENT to seduce
DINERS to commit the same crime. 1t was as wrong
Tor Mr.. Adams to buy Clay's vote as it was to
purchase Webster by pledge, and these are things
'aat sharp sighted republicans can see without the
ad OF glasses, and when seen, they sink deep into
'elr minds, make an ndelible impression, and
n0'nng short of placing it out of the power Of
such man, again to tamper with their liberties for
MS own aggrandzement, will appease the just
wrath, which these enormities have excited.
What man Of all his accusers has character
" Tree from stain, so upright" &c.
ims question is designed to lead the attention
" the people from the real object, by inducing an
inference that Mr.. Adams has individual " accu-
'ess,', that some man has made charges against
nm IN his individual capacity.
