Daily Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1828-1831, 1830-10-22
From the National Journal.

II is amusing to watch the snif aud which
tho Organ IS driven, when he attempts tn speak
Officially on the subject of the mkt Presidency
One day W" are informed tina, Gen Jackson Will be
candidate for election, and the next, that his be-
ing candidate will depend on the people them
selves.
This last ground appears be entirely abandoned
since the result Of the recent elections III Louisiana,
Kentucky, Missouri. Indiana, Illinois, Maryland and
Delaware, have been made known, and viii account
for the following III that print OF Saturday evenIng
tho 10th instant:
"The Opposition, after having made his cleo
tion necessary, seek produce impression
that he will candidate. aim DIVIDE his
friends by untounied tales of jealousles between
Vice President, Secretary OF State. and Judge Nc
Lean. The fact that each of these gentlemen, and
their combined Influence, will sustain General Jack
sons re-elrctIsn, places II beyond doubt and
dere opposition hopeless. The next effort will be
to divide the party between these three with view
successor Upon this point enough for us to
say, that General Jackson's will be a demo
cratic republican, selected and supported by the demo
cratic party, and elected by concert and union,
necessarily produced by the experience of former
conflicts, and growing determination on their part
to MAINTAIN the ascen fancy at any cost of private
feeling or personal friendship as the only means of
perPetuaiug our present happy and prosperous go
vernment."
We have in this single parus raph as much contra
dIcton as perhaps was ever put toge her by any
ter since the use ofletters has been known In one
breath 1t asserted that the Opposition have made
Gen. Jacksons recollection necessary, and in next
told, that Vice President, the Secretary
of State, and Judge Mclean, Ito winch trio Duff
should have added hImsef) will sustain, by their
rnbncd influence the recollection of Gen. jackson;
but that 1t is enough for Inn (DufT) 10 say that the
General successor will BE- democratic republican
Is to be hoped there BARGAINS going on be
tween Duff and his three distinguished friends by
which the People, whom they pretend to worship,
are TO be whipped into the support of whomsoevcr
they may find 1t necessary TO the successor to
the Throne But the Organ may save tse much
trouble about this matter, for the Peope understand
the management too we'll by which, through the
Combination OF as dlscordant materials as were ever
thrown together, they were induced, former oc-
CasOn, to give their votes candidate whose cc-
cation they regret. Thls the ballot boxes are
daily demonstrating and If the ''sgns of the times
not deceptive, all the schemes of the Combma
ton will be blown SKY high" as the repre-
sentatIves Of the People again meet at the Seat Of
Government.
1t is nov clear that n successor to Gen. Jackson
IS to be named, hut it is equally clear that there
much difficulty in making he s"le ton. The only
hope lift hem, that they will be able to prevail
on their dIscordnn party to again take the oath OF
allegiance, and to fight the approaching batlc IN a
solid column. Bul IN this they will fail. The Peo-
pie have already entered the citadel under the ban
ner If "Henry Clay ard the American System"
and his and his principles WILL before long, be
heard from one end of the Union 20 the other.
NOUS VERRON.
