Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1831-12-30

Charter. Yet, with all these facts staring them in
the face, terrible buster is made abou, the poll
tics of Vice President and some going even so
Tar us 10 say, that they could not even support Con
jackson, in connection with Il candidate for Vice
President, who was in favor of those measures
We at distance, should like to be informed wby
there is no objection to Jaclson's supporting those
measures, and such repugnancc to the support of
Il man for Vice President, entertaining the same
vicws-or do the Richie Party understand Gen
Jackson as saying one thing, and meaning the re-
verse-if they do, that solves the difficulty.
There is no fact susceptible of clearer demon
stration, than that Cen Jackson cannot be rc-cect
ed without the united and conjont support of Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania and New York; if he looscs
the vote of either of these three States he is inav
tably beaten, and this is well known to the leading
partizans of Gen. Jackson, and the ''bold tone"
assumed, is only intended to bolster up their sink
ing cause.
In this perilous state of things to their cause
the question is, how is Virginia to maintain and
carry hcrs principles into oporation7 How is Penn
sylvania, who stands directly opposed to her. with
regard to the Bank, and the Protective System, to
be brought TO cooperate with Virginia, in her
schemes destroy the favorito policy of Pennsyl-
vana7 As to New York she is considered by tho
Ritchie Party perfectly at the disposal of Mr. Van
Buren and Mr.. Noah. Pennsylvania thoy believe,
Is not quito snugty in lending strings. 1t would
seem that although tho Ritchie Party entirely
dependant on Pennsylvania, to aid them in the
election of Gen. Jackson ana thereby to uproot
the policy and interest of that State, they cannot
the election of Vice President in favor of tho pro-
tective system and the Bank-they resolved to
have the whole play in their own hands, and make
sure work of it, by having both President and Vice
President opposed to the policy and principles of
Pennsylvania. How cGn be unjust to the Viz
ginia character for intelligence to suppose they
ale dnpcd into the support of GeH. Jackson, under
belief, that he is ''Cf their principles" when
he is motor ncreduous TO their fidelity to their
principles to suppose they have totally abandon
cd them, in their cagcrncss 10 support him. This
drives inc back to the conclusion, that they and
Gen. Jackson understand each other; and rcnin ds
me Of Gen. Green's significant remark, that Mr.
kitchie knew how the veto to the Mnysvillc road
was gotten up. In the debate alluded TO, Mr..
Goode is represented TO have said, ''lor his own
part, he would eschcw any citizen who goes for
the Tariff, the distribution of the Surplus Revenue
and the Bank Of the United States. He thought
we ought 10 sustain n candidate for tho Vice Pres-
dency, who sustains principles" Yet Mr..
Goodc does not csche!p Cen Jackson, nor being at
| all in question, his having recommended division
Of the Surplus Reycnue-hs opinions about the
Tariff and the Bank-but he passes over his candi-
date for President in perfect silence, and thinks
they ought to support candidate for Vice Presi-
dent who sustains their principles. There is
something in all this so incompatible with tho sup
port OF principle and not inGn-ifcvery body should
he understood TO mean what they say-that shall
defer further notice of the proceedings of this meet
ing until tomorrow. Yours, &c.
