as long as there is probability that "a. Jackson
can unite majority Let the said A Jackson do
what he nluy-violute the Constitution by taking
the orignaton of embassies, and the appointment, of
ambassadors into his own hands-appnint members
of Congress and editors contrary to his own express
sed conviction, that the practice poisoned the head
springs OF legislation, and manallcd the press-re-
commend the most dangerous projects to Congr. ss
as Government Bank and the distribution of the
surplus revenue; projects condemned by the Enqui.

Jackson has done all this, and Tho. Richie well
knows lt.-Yct he has aid down u chart for HIM
self, TO peTsc"rre in the support of a Jackson
with the mental reservation however that the intat-
uatlon of the American people continues This is
Repubhcanlsm! This is what he proclams and brags
of! This prostitution of the Judgment of free
man-ths REIMBURSEMENT of the convictions of his
mind to what is best for the country-this slave

self were to plant his standard in The Old Dominion
and rally majority, neigbbor would 1y to his
ranks, and call them The Republican party
But why need we say one word of the Ehqulrer
or its tactics; They well understood and pro-
profoundly abomlnated. It has become the lest of
its opponents, and to Il nearly equal extent the
scorn OF It's party. Its want of fixed principle, OF
Independence, of snccrity-its devotion TO whatever

What can be more illustrative OF the princplcs of
that paper than its pcrsevcrng support of Jackson.
