This State have turned Federal Politics, and
ostentatiously puts the adjunct 90 to the names of
all candidates, defeated successful, who have
ever been for Jackson. We're it true that all who

of those elected in this State. In this however il
is mistaken. The Republican will find when the

most infamous productions that ever outraged the

Money was both secretly and openly used TO buy

in public address, declines "hopeless canvass

yet come, when the exp esslon of an honest opini-
on, even of the immaculate Jackson himself, can

Braxton confirms the statement that opposition to
Coke organized exclusively on the ground of
the irreverent comparison above. He says,
'On Saturday preceding the Gloucester election,

to cross the Bay Immediately and place myself be-
fore the people as Candidate for Congress: A
proper regard for the feelings and wishes of friends
who are near, and dear to me, and perhaps much
me to do so, tho there under such circumstan-
ces, but little prospect of election.

friends OF the present administration, ncens-
cd with their late representative, MIR. Coke for

fear entertained that the enemies of the present ad

so split and divide the Republican party as to de-
volve the election of President on tho House of

it scoms, wo have the fact admitted by warm ho-
nourablc, and enlightened supporter. In casting
about Tor an illustration of Jacksons ignorance,
Mr.. Coke could find at the instant, no more suita
bio object to which to compare it, than pig! the
most stupid of animals. Yet we must all swallow

Braxton, we are no republicans. Alas! for the Re
