Jackson Will they suffer few interested persons
in Richmond, to prescribe what sort Of mon they
shall vote i"ri Viii they aot reSpcc, the man who
Is independent enough Ia decide for himself, when
'h"' decision = aces him in minority VIII they
not conclude that such man is more to DO relied
aron, than one who waa never Known to DO ia a
minority?
VIC have i few words 70 say 10 those votcra who
are opposed to Gen. Jackson. Erciy day brings
proof upon proof, that their opposition 10 him was
well founded. Almost every mail from, Wuslington
brings intelligence OF new disgrace inflicted
by hiin and his mnons, upon tho honour of the
government and the country. Instead of looking
Tor information upon public affairs, overy man
opens the Washington newspapers, expecting to
ind some now and disgraeofill intrigue exposed
SOME new outrage inflicted upon tho rights OF soci-
ETY.. One can hardly realize that the government At
Washington, is the same government once admin
istcrcd by Washington, Jefferson and Madison.
Every candid man confssscs his disgust, and thou
sands have utterly renowned Gen: jackson. 1t j,
at such time this, when hardly an Intelligent
man is TO be found who does not acknowledge his
modification and disappointment, that Il certain
squad in Richmond, requiring the people of
Virginia, to vote for mono but Jackson men, Who,
lot his charity DO ample space itself can really
believe, that those persons think of Gen jackson
AZ they pretend 70 think Of him-that it is really
possible for them to suppose, that his second cleo
ton is Indispensable for the country? No, they
cannot think What followsl That not the
good OF the country, but their c,cn is at the bottom
Docs not this course Of those persons impose a
new limo of conduct upon you?-(,he opponents
OF Jackson we n.)-Does it not authorize YOU
TO say TO Mr.. w illlams-"Wo respect YOU individ-
ualiy-we intended to vote for you've arc no pno
scribcrs, and II man is honest and capable, wo
arc willing to be represented by him, although he
is Tor 'ackson-but you yourself have rendered
1t improper that should vote for you-
You have denounced our political friends as vile and
corrupt-you have called upon the people to vote
Tor no man who thinks think-you have call
cd upon party to elect you upon party principles
and exclude us, who do not belong to that party
You have given the rule which compels us 70
vote against you. If you are oloctcd Won will
go into caucus, and do your utmost to re elect
man as President, who in our opinion ha:
showed hmsaf after trial, to he utterly unfit for the
office. however much we may like you individu
ally, wo must prefer cur country and opinions tc
the good will VIC feel towards YOU"
Can Mr. Williams himself, blame you for thu
thinking, speaking and acting? He cannot. 7,
throwing himself upon a party-in demandn,
their aid rs party man--in dcnouncing those VIII,
think with you, and calling upon tho people t,
elect none such, he has fortified all claiusfo YOU
support. Your private friendship will remain un
ehangcd but az electors you will unquestionabl
feel 1t incumbent upon you to discriminate betweel
tho demands of good feeling. and sense OF pub
lie duty. The man who has not firmrcss enough T.
90 this is unworthy of the privilege of suffrage
