 7he Enc of conduct phich Connecticut should pursue 'oith respect to the odminis- tratiOn of Gen. Jackson.
 MR EDITOR:
 1t IS well known that great majority of the ci.i 'zens oi this state utterly opposed the eleva- ton of Andrew Jackson to the Chiet Magistracy of the United States. If any alarm had been felt with respect to the result of the vote on late occas on at least nine out of ten of the electors would have expressed at the polls their appreciation of the admin istration of Mir Adams and wish for his continuance in office. The opinions of our intelligent merchants. farmers, and mechanics this subject were formed upon attentive examination and equry and were ac- companicd with the most lively conviction of their correctness, and acquainted with the charac- ter of our citizens, distinguished for inaexibIe adherance to principle, believe that those opn- ions have been in the slightest degree shaken by an adverse result.
 They have been opposed to the success of General Jackson because, first, they had entire confidence in the integrity, talents, and wisdom of the admns;ra- ton of MT Ada'ns who pursuing line of policy, eminenty suspicious to all the great and prominent init Of inc .bov bod for believing that General Jackson from tenn per- habits principles, inexperence and want of od- ucation wes unfit for such ah exalted trust, however successful he may have been as an intrepid soldier in resisting foreign aggression ;-hrdy, they consider ed the precedent of snbverting wise and patrotck adminstra ton to substitute without adequate req son another in its place, even ifthere rational probability that itwoud be equally good, as danger "us to the peace of the Daton its tendency being encourage species of effort which has been too com mon in country, viz: to destroy the distinguished statesmen. to whom public affairs are confded by un- deserved calumny operating on popular de'usion ;- fourhy, they were averse to the principle ofmiitary ccndancy, the example ofa fortunate soldier dr- viDg from the cabinet accomplished civilians and iaitafu' public servants, might in it's remote Quencee lead fatal results, and is kAown from the experience of ages to be in the highest degree peril ous to repubck ;-and finally, they felt not little indignation thatsuch extraordinary exertions should he made conducted in and upon principles which it is unnecessary characterize to put down an administration merely because its iIusrious Chief is native of New England when if his birth had been in a more genial climate, he would have received in in certain quarters nothing but applause in the place of unrelenng oboquy, to which he has fallen a victim.
 The event however which has been so generally deprecated by citizens has taken place, and An drew Jackson has been elected President of the Uni ted States for period offour years from the fourth of March next. question of great moment is thus for the consideration of the good people of the State and that is, what line of conduct should be pursued by Connecticut in relation the coming ad- mnistration7
 It would certainly be not only unjust but impolitic, to embark in an indiscrimnate opposition to the gov- ernmens merely because have little or no confd- ence inits Chief and thus initiate the exception nabe example of the friends of Gen. Jackson in resisting on every occasion the measures of Mir Adams admins tration whether right orwrong. The friends of Mir Adams in this State are too patriotic, and are too sincerely devoted to their country, place themselves in such reprehensible attitude. On the other hand it is believed to be equally obvious, that we ought not to end ourselves to the of the military chefan and thus submit without enquiry implicitly to his will. We cannot corsen from our knowledge of his tenn per, principles and conduct, to make haza dous an experiment. It s manifest therefore that Connect- cut ought for the present to remain entirely UEcoM MrrTED with respect to his administration, and finally either support or oppose it as circumstances may re- quire. In order, however, to enable us to pursue discreet line of policy with respect to General Jack son. is of great importance that the character of our delegation in Congress should be essentially elevated We should select of learning, prudence, ability, andiniegrity, who would, after little experience, as- sume high station in the councils of the nation, and raise the state from the abject condition to which it
