1t is amusing to watch the shf s aud turns to which
the Organ is driven, when he attempts to speak
''ofhcaliy on the subject of the next Presidency
One day we are Informed that Gen. Jackson will be
candidate for election and the nex, chat ms be-
ing candidate will depend the people them
selves
This last ground appears TO be entirely abandon d
since the result of the recent elections in Louisiana
Kentucky, Missouri Indiana, Illinois, MARYLAND and
Delaware, have been made known, and viii account
for the following that print OF Saturday evening,
the 9th instant:
'The Opposition, after having made his re cleo
ton necessary, seek produce an impression
that he Will not De candidate, anu aim TO DIVIDE his
friends by uEfounded tales of eaiouses between the
Wee President, Secretary OF State. and Judge Nc
Lean The fact that each of these gentlemen, and
their combined influence, viii General Jack
sons re-electien, places 1t beyond doubt and
ders opposition hopeless. the next effort will be
to divide the party between these three with view
TO successor Upon this point Il is enough for US to
say, that General Jacksons successor will be 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 their part
to maintain the ascenIancy at any of private
feeling personal friendship, The only means of
perpetuating present happy and prosperous 90
vernment."
We have in this single paragraph much contra
tlction as perhaps was put together by any
er since the use otletaers has been known In one
breath 1t Is asserted that the Opposition made
Gen. Jackson's re- election necessary, and in the next
told, that Vice President, the Secretary
Of Slate, and Judge Mclean, Ito winch trio Duff
should have added himsef) will SUSTAIN by their
combined Influence the recollection Of Gen. Jackson
bni that it s enough for nun Duff to say that the
Generals will b. dcmocra :lc 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 whonlsoeyer
they may find necessary name the successor to
the Throne. Bot the Organ may save Itself much
trouble about this matter, Tor the People understand
the management too well by which, through the
Combination of as dscordant materials as were ever
thrown together, they induced, on former &C.
casion to give their votes to a candidate whose ee
vatlon they now regret This the ballot boxes are
daily demonstrating; and If the sIgns of the times
are not deceptive all the schemes of the Comblna
ton will be blown ''sky high soon as the repre-
sentatlves Of the People ag lin at the Seat of
Government.
1t Is nov clear that successor to Gen. Jackson
is to be named hut it is equally clear that there is
much difficulty i'll making The sele ton The only
hope left hem, is, that they will be able to prevail
on their discordant party to again take the oath of
allegiance, and to fight the approaching battle in
solid column. Bn this they will fail. The Peo-
pie have already entered the citadel under the ban.
ner Of "Henry Clay and the American SYSTEM"
and his name and his principles will, before long be
heard from one end the Union to the other.
NOUS VERRON.
