Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1831-10-13

-tlcSc are some OF tho dark features OF that
which 1t was long since toretod, with prop actc
| patriotic inspiration would cnsue from his promo
ton TO tho presidency. And that the civil move
mcnts of our Government have not been Scriousl,
checked by the moral iniirmity and mal-action o
! the executive branch. is inquest ouaby TO be at
tributcd TO the strength and excellence % our con
stitution, and 10 the fact, that the ALTERATIONS
ono branch are always corrected and compensated
by the regular constitutional action of the othe
branches.
These acts of the present administration will lie
embodied in the history Of the times, and tho es
cutchcon of the country viii descend TO posteyi;y
furnished and broken. The polics, tho principles
OF t'on Jackson, are as much left to conjecture
now, when he couclcd in studied phrusc, u re-
ccmmendatiou Of 'Judicious turiil,' The Nuli;-
tyers of the South, clauu him us their champion.
The friends of internal Improvement aud the ta
riff, to the North and West, insist upon il that he
is thet' patron. Blowing hot and cold with the.
same breath, his countrymcn will ere long demand
OF him singloncss Of course.
Should Gen. Jackson DO rc-clccted the appoint
ment Of Chief Justice Of the u. States Will de
rolvc upon. him-tl'e advancing years and declining
health of Judgc Marshall make it ut least probable
NO successor could be chosen, possessing Gle
Faton OF moral character groutcr judicial attain
mcnts; but we have to fear that the choice Of
Jackson would fail upon gentleman Of the
school OF Southern politics. and unJs these nciy
HghlS new train of decisions might result which
would eventually sap the foundation OF the social
ediiicc, and iavo!ve Us in its ruins. Phc Supreme
Court OF the u. states, which las heretofore com
ihaded The respect OF ali parties, may in Gmc DO |!
converted into arena as vcnui ana corrupt as |
were the tribunals Of Dante, Robcspiorrc and Marat
IN the reign Of terror in France Ia oil the diff.
cuties growing out OF the stritcs of party or the
COLLISIONS OF sectional interests, We have for thirty
years Z. ID more, looked to the Supreme Court as |
oar best and last resort. Under the new judicial |
dynasty, We have to apprchcud that our udg-
es would become the tine-serving creatures Of par
~.
And whereas, it is among the remaining rights of
the free citizens of this nation oppose by all law
ui means the reelection of the present incumbent
and to effect that end, national convention,
consisting of delegates FROM various parts of the
unlo1, will DO held in the City of Baltimore the
