FROM the yNufcNeSl .arie5. '-->.s.'
. Qualifications IF the Presidsnt.-During the Pre-
siental contcrt when Elr Crawford was candidate.
MIR. Ritchie the Editor % the Richmond Enquirer
was violently opposed to Gen. Jackson. Anon. the
many severe things he said of him. he declared 'fhat
nc srns too lille @ statcsmun-io0 prone to make his
oun will the rlc Of his conduct" in short he was H.
liscfa.e ignorant and obstinate, and entirely unite
for the Presidency. Speaking now of the General
President, he says''he reads nHthe letters address
Sod to him. & firms has opinions Of their contents"
Whether it be fact that President jackson does
actually read the letters addressed him. and niedi
tate On their contents or not, have means of
usccrtaniug; or whether Mr. Richie bearing in mind
his previous opinions, Id willing to obteratc from tho
rnenory of the President aud from the recollection of
the public his former dcnunciatons agaii,st him. would
be difficult to say; it is not improbable however, that
hns present sycophancy is only sham. cloak from
under which he may with security discharge his
casm against the man he still dcspises in his heart.
What wonderful circumstance that the President
of the u. States, the chief magistrate of free,
vereisn, independent and intelligent people should
read ALL the letters addressed to him that he Should
be capable to- do so, and Mt the time iorN his
own opinions Of them. Mr.. Richie certainly can
not DC IN earnest.
