otdea fsaae; but has now grown wiser and bet
ter. and may be considered reformed
I'VE are opposed to the re election Of &c.
neral Jackson,
because We believe the American System,
or the protection Of Home Manufactures and
industry, TO be essential to the prosperity Of
The American people-upOn which system
he has recommended attack In It's most dan.
| gerous form, viz. ia detail
! Because We think the United States Bank
ought TO be sustained, believing that it exer.
cises sJutary influence in maintaining a
sound currency, the preservation of which is
OF the brightest Importance to the prosperity
OF the country
| Because there is sufficient evidence for the
belief that he is favorable to a repeal of the
| 25th section Of the Judiciary act, which would
| strike at the root of the Supreme Court of the
/ United States; tribunal entitled, as we be
| lieve, to the entire confidence and uncempro
missing sustenance ofevery friend to the Union.
| Because he has violated and is running
counter TO bis declared principles; that the
/ President of the United Sta.ss ought not to
apsoint members Of Congress to particular
| offices; and that he should not bold the office
more than one term.
| Because his practical illustration Of his
protested purpose of "Reform" and "Econo-
N.Y." is mockery of the terms.
Because in the transaction which led to the
dissolution Of his cabinet, the part he acted
was as unbecoming the President Of the u
States, AS the Developments are disgraceful
! to the nation.
And last, though not least,
Because the hopes we entertained of him
previous TO bis election, have been utterly dis.
appointed; and we believe him to be incom-
petent, OF himself, to perform the duties of
Chief Magistrate Of this republic; and that
II is inexpedient and hazardous to entrust
their execution to a Cabinet" without
statesman at their head to direct and control
as was contemplated by the constitution
These being our opinions, we feel I to be
a solemn duty, regardless of consequences,
to aid in preventing the ripening of tho ma
tional misehiefs already se.va; and whatever
may be the result. we shall, at least. be Ger
tain of preserving the consolation of clear
conscience
Jliterate as Il pig" Mr. Coke mem
Der Of congress from Va. was accused by his
opponent, Mr.. Braxton, during The recent
canvass. with having said on his return from
Washington last spring that president Jack
son was''Gs tlacrGte as a. pig" Mr.. Coke
did not deny the expression, but in address
ing the voters, he said, by way Of erptana
ton that "he did not and could not have in
tended to be understood literally, because 1t
pig did not kno,o his letters, and general Jack
son certainly did kno,O his tettersn
The 'explsnationn seems to have been
quite satisfactory, for MR. Coke was re elect
ed. Ii must be borne in mind that Mr. Coke
is an original Jackson-man. The express.
sion which he used, and his subsequent ex
PLANTATION, taken together, will enable any
one to arrive at MIR. Coke's opinion of presi
dent jackson, without much difficulty.

cit will give you pleasure to be informed
that the depending controversy between the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, and
the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company
will be tried on It's merits, before the Chan
celor OF Mary land, on the 9Th day Of Octo
her next, the day recently fixed upon by the
Counsel OF both parties
"Shoaid an appeal be taken from the judg
ment Of tn Chancellor, by either party, the
Court OF Appeals of Maryland Will SIT, by
adjournment, IN November next, and no
doubt is entertained but that in conformity
with the terms OF the acts oil Assembly
OF Maryland chartering the chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company, they will give preie-
renee to such appeal, IN their order Of bust
ness, SO as TO finally put TO rest question
by the delay oil which tire state OF Maryland,
with the other subscribers TO The Chesapeake
and Ohio Company, and the people To whom
this great high way IS designed to open rea
ely access 10 market, have already sustained
SO much loss and Inconvenience.
''Jhat, Iii the event, not 10 be expected, OF
an appeal being made to the Supreme Court
of the United States, hat Court will pursue
similar course, in compliance with the cor
responding ACT of Congress confirming that
of Maryland, experience has already shown
there can be no doubt So that most proba
bly in November or December, and certain
ly IN January or February next, the way will
be opened for the Construction OF Canal or
Rail way along the Maryland shore above the
Point OF locks
+ ''Should the Canal prevail, there need be
as little doubt, that by the 4th Of July, 1888,
it will have been completed along the Mary
land Shore as far, at least, as Hancock, 1875
miles from the city of Washington. Should
the Rail Road prevail, Tor "a miles of this
distance, having crossed the Potomac at the
Point OF Rocks, the Canal will run along the
Virginia shore. In 40 event, therefore, need
any apprehension be entertained by its friends
that the Canal will terminate at the Point of
Rocks, or that it will be much longer arrest
Ell is its progress towards the Allegheny"
