Nbx do tho Administration party urge An
drew Jackson to serve another term, as r'esi''en'
of the United States, in violation ofhis own con-
science, and in opposition to the opinion ne mas
unclaimed to the wOrld-thereby cOnvicuhg hi'h
of Inconsistency and duplicity? :.
WHY do the partisans of the Executive Deg MN
10 continue another term. when large portion oi
their ON n party acknow ledge his incapacity, anu
are opposed to some of the most prominent tea-
lures of his inistrat,on:-partcularly MS
hostility to the protection OF domestic mandtao,
ture,-to internal mprovements-to the rehewai
of the charter of the United States banN-ahd 10
his views Of the Judiciary-and his contempt OF
solemn treaties made with the Southern Indians!
Can any honest man, ofany party, support the
man whose conduct they condemn:
Can PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio, New York, New Jer,
sew, and the New England States, or either OF
them, support candidate for the high Office OF
President of these States, whose principles ana
whose acts are known to'be adverse to their pest
interests?
Will they consent 10 do this, merely to support
| the party, and continue men in office who are
known to be undeservng, and who were placed
there for services rendered at the last turbulent
election, withom any other passport to Erechire
fauor!
I Dn the ,saap,ulgamatiag materials Of the present
Cabinet at Washington augur faVorab'y to the
health, vigor and prosperity of the Nation!
Why are the office holders and their adherents
unwilling to take up another candidate! Having
reformed themselves into Office, are they appre-
hensive that another President would be apt to
reform item OFT, because they are known to be
unfit to retain their Offices, and ought never to
have held them?
We are told by the Washington Telegraph
Philadelphia Sentinel, Noah's Enquirer, and o.
Their Journals OF the same cast. that the present
incumbent has condesccnded to agree :. to serve
another four gears fhc should be reelected" Is
this sufficient to secure majority of the lndePen-
dent votes of plain Republican Nations
Are we to stooD to any ihan and on our knees
supplicate him against his own will to co"desce''d
to serve US?
Does this smack of Democratic principles, and
pure Republican liberty--or. sit surcharged with
military chieftainsism, and Pnncely Aristocracy:
Has the late system of prescription, in the garb
of military efulgence, dazzled the eyes OF the
people. and given the chieftaiD patent right to
governs Let the people reflect and know that
such power granted to any mdiciduai. is at va,
rance with the principles of our government, and
inmcal to the liberty of the people!

No administration could desire TO commence

and no reasonable man could desire to be more

simplifying all the apparatus, Mr.. Ruthven has
greatly reduced the size, weight. and expense of
these machines. One of his. which threw strong
