on no efficient steps, to show TO the world, that
she is firm in her purposes. and unaltcrable in
her political views. Her apparent lethargy,
does not however, nrise from any failing off on
her part, but has its origin, in her firm assur-
ance Of success. Whilst We admit that she
has nothing TO fear, as to the result OF the ap-
proa ching election, We cannot concede, that
there is ne necessity for her coming forward,
to convince the world, that she is the undivid-
ed frieaa Of the Administration. 1t is neces-
sary that shs should do this, that the few Jack
sonians who are now among us, should be
taught, that IL is idlo for thom to struggle for
the attainment Of strength among us, and being
thus taught, learn to relax from their silly la
bors. At the last election, We stood foremost
among those who supported the claims Of Mr..
Adams-wo were succsssful--and we hope,
that when tho time shall have arrived for us
to assemble at the polls, wc shall give renew-
ed evidence Of our consistency, frmness and
sagacity-and give our undivided sufrages to
those men, who have supported the best meas
ures, and given rise to that policy, which has
established nations greatness, and proved the
wisdom and core ctness Of what has been ap-
propriately deneminnted tho :AMERIcAN
SYsrEM."
