., have doubt you have thought all this about III
meeting and WILL therefore, think my quotation correc.
but then you have not said IL and wont do the part

"should speak out" beg leave, therefore, to sugges
to you. with all deferenceJ tina, you should on
and write about, by way OF helping you along I'll jus
give you my notions Of the matter-that is, about the
facts, for as you know, an, for style blu, IL
had been big Lawyer. or q high officer, ! think
could have written better piece; at least il should hot
have been so rough and bumpy, and would have SO
hung together my sentences that the connexion Re
tween them should have been apparent But, above ALL
think they have failed in this-ih
although they have abused Old Hickory like pick.
Pocket-(and have told some things Of hun that think
are not 'rue but will come to that presently they
have specified but one single thing Of him. Chat is
to maintain their charges, (and there between you
1, they have the old fellow the hip)-and upon tina,
point you ought TO pin them.-For, although the Big
Lawyer and the Auditor know heap, other people know
something too, and will take their word for every
thing. Something more than the mere say-so OF the
Auditor aud his Attorney, will be necessary satisfy
the people oil Virginia that the who nobly stood in
the breach in the hour OF his counrys utmost peril
and by the mos, gallant coup de main achieved
filled the measure OF his couniry's glory"
prove traitor to her liberty and tuition. They
say his political opponents predicted ihara train OF dis
ion-thats rue-and the prediction has been lite al
ly fulfilled" Now, don't think that Is true-or II
1t u.s. why was not SEINE one, at least OF the dsasers
snd diculties specified. As for instance some portion
OF trade lost; the failure Of an important ne
or the robbery OF the public Golfers under the mme-
date eye Of the President What public difficulty or
able footing with the rest OF the world Than we did I'M
der the former administration Has any public calamity
befaen our country Is trade injured-our
nue. dminished-o are we at war with any other ma
ton; and 10 not the public business at least as well
attended to under the late administration II Is true
that "war, pesence and famine" almost invoked
n..fif .la~
ed There train Of "disasers and difficulties
foreseen have doubt If not predcted; and in re-
laton to which. 'the prediction has been literally ver-
hed-but they were not disasters TO the country, but
TO sundry office holders many OF whom were traudu-
leny feeding the public funds and 10 many expec-
ants. To them the administration of Andrew Jackson
has been disastrous and difficult indeed for they have
been removed from trusts which they abusing or
prevented from obtaining Offices for which they were
unfit. But mistake, the character of tho virginians
1t such "disssters will ,xcite their sympahes for the
sufferers or thir indignation against tue hand which
inflicted them.
Equally vague and unsustained are the other charges
Except viz that Jackson has consented serve
second term. That charge 10 and there lies the rub
Jackson trtV serve another term Henry Clay will
not-ergo, rer6un sdt-But Is It not passing strange
that such tried and orthodox Republicans should objc
to old Hickory for this reasoni Is the disposal
the Presidency with the people, and II they choose tina
Jackson shall serve another term, is that fault in him.
Is II not the duty of every citizen to render public
vice when the people call on him! think this part o.
the scold should have been directed against the people
rather than Jackson. Has he not said TO the nation in
his Message to Congress- that he thought the
tia service should be limited term; and can any
Republican who is disposed to for the public good
and not merely to crafty his pride and ambition by
being once in the presidential chair, do more.
Wonderful to tell, he has, say these politicians
negotiated Treaties without the knowledge psrtic
patton Of the Senate" And is that always and re
cessary the casel Is the Senate consulted about
Treaty before il is made and when did the Senators
ever violate their duty by participation" In negotidt
ing Treaty. How many, and which of them parti-
cipated in the Treaty by which McLane recovered the
trade lost by Clay s. Co., in the Treaty made by
Rives When did the United States Senate sit in
London Paris?
But he has acted upon the odous policy Of ardine
his personal friends and furnishing his enemies" Tha
is he has refused TO take the wooden horse into hi
camps and the fellows in his belly tired OF feedn,
upod his dry ribs, have got very hungry, and NATURALLY
grumble very much
