satisfies none; for while the northern
manufactures is, aware, to secure the
vote of the South, (could that elect HIM
he would be willing to reduce their -four
ishing manufactures TO ruins; the south
,ern may be equally certain, that to gain
the same object from the North, he
would not hesitate to load them with
taxes far, fnore grevous than those of
which they now complain. On one
branch of policy alone has General
jackson been consistent. His opposit-
ion to the United States Bank urged a
gain and again, with such zeal and per-
severance in despite Of his constitutional
advisers, and political friends, may in
deed be regarded as proceeding from,
!, fixed opinion, or rather from a blind
hatred to the institution, stronger than
any opinion, originating in personal piqne
and hostility to a high officer of that in
stitution. 1t is true that alarmed at the
consequences Of his opposition hc has
lately ntimatcd that he may change his
opinions OH that subject, but who that
understands the character of the man,
can be SO infatuated as to imagine he
will?
We have yet graver charges to urge
against the present administration. The
public press once considered as the
palladium of our liberties, has, as far as
been bought up and rendered mere in
strufhent to answer his purposes. Edi-
tors almost innunerable, have been re-
warded or purchased with the highest
Offices in his gift, and hundreds Of pep
stoned presses scattered throughout the
laud, stand ever ready to do his bidding;
to land his vilest acts; to blacken the
( reputation of those lie may wish 10 in
! jue; and even to weaken, and It possf-
BILE to destroy, the coordinate branches
Of government. And these branches
have been attacked in a manner which
: show these hireling presses ready to as
sist their master in g,asping even albi-
. trary power, and in prostrating at his feet
: all who oppose his will.
{ The Senate with manly independence
= re ects an unworthy nomination and is ut
= once assailed from every quarter, with
epithets to foul too be merited by any but
those who use them. The official organ
Of the executive will dare even to pro-
r pose to the American people to abridsc
, its terms Of service, and strip it OF its
5 powers.
S The SGpreme Court Of the United
= States too in the discharge Of It's highest,
S its holiest duties, tEw arts the Executives
= pleasure, and instantly to the dcnuncia
h tions of the would-be despot, the adde
S hiss of the pres resoands throughout th'
= land. Its decrccs are not to he enforce,
= It's power is to be set at defiance.
= But these are not the only acts Of hi
e NAL admin nistration. The Offices of gov
: ernment, created bv the people for thc
n own benefit, have as one Of his friend
:. on the floor of the Senate shamelcssl,
: avowed, been seized upon as the "spol
:. of the victorh aud openly used as bribe
@ and rewards for partizan services.
: Persons grossly and VIGOROUSLY in
! competent and unft-thc deipulter, tn,
n drunkard, the debanchee, and even tn,
o fugitive fclon, have been nominated 70
= important stations, and when the Senat,
s has refused to sanction his nominations
d he has watched the absence of individu
y al members in order again to urge them
i And when this could not be effected, h
has appointed his rejected favorites, dur
+ ing the recess of the Senate, to office
! net requiring its concurrence,
}, He has not only filed the existin,
c subordinate departments Of Government
c throughout the country with the creature
Y Of his will, but has also created new one
: in order to reward them.
s He has not only employed tie patron
'r age Of the government to control popula
is elections, but has himself directly inter
G fered in the election Of members to Con

lites to assal the coordinate branches o
e the government, but has even by his owl
10 words and actions sanctioned and ap
l. proved their conduct.
10 lie not only sanctioned the attack

Of upon the, Senate of the United States, bu
id has also countenanced wanton persona
