Whereas, the election of Andrew jackson TO the Pre-
sden,iai Char was opposed by large and
portion oil the American people, from deep conviction
that he wanted NEST it rot all the qualifications requr-
cd Tor that exalted station. United by his previous
habits and education his total ignorance of the consii-
ton and laws, az well by his violent and arbitrary
temper, TO preside with dignity and wisdom over the
various ana important concerns Of fee nation, hi.
political opponenis predicted that train of disasters and
difficulties would flow from his administration The
prediction has been literally fulfilled At period
our history has there been less public confidence IL,
the virtue and integrity OF our rulers The promises
which General jackson made, when a candidate for
power have been so plainly aud papaby violated, that
all deccncy ana consistency have been set at
defiance. Against his solennly declared oninon
that the appointment OF members OF Congress. except
rac-
tce, he has avished more executive pa,ronage upon
that class Of men, than ell the preceding admins raons
oil the General Government combined.
