II is understood that many Of the minority. though
Jackson mon. are nevertheless. professedly friend,
of tho American System. From this il may be- IN

Ohio will sustain their fhvortr policy
In Illinois the Senators recently elected found n

Senator for Missouri in the place OF NJ Ia 1T m bv
fir reasoning the conclusion 1 cvitah that those
states also, . support candidate for the Prrsidan-
CIV, who is known to DO favorable to the American
System.
