in this Commonwealth, and certainly not with Il
majority Of those in the county, do thus publicly
declare the grounds of their opposition.
jTSf Because General Jackson, since he at
taincd his present elevation has disregardcd those
professions which he made when seeking TO attain
Tcsign:ng TIC office of Senator, lie declared that
the appointment ofmombcrs Of Congress to Offices
