At numerous meeting of the citizens of Nelson
ty, who are friendly TO the election of Andrew Jack
10 the Presidency of the United States held at their
courthouse on the 23d instant, Robert Rves Esq was
called to the Chair and Richard Pollard appointed Score
ary whcreupon, James Garland, Litileberry N Logon
Robt Ii. Anderson, Samuel Loving and Matthew Harris
were appointed committee draft preamble and reso-
lutions suitable TO the occasion, who retired and i'm
short time reported the following, which unanimous
~ adopted:
This meeting would deem it derelicion of duty TO
themselves to their country and to their venerable Chief
Magistrate il, at time when he is assaied by the most
unrelentng and reckless opposition they were to with
hold an expression OF their undiminshed contdeDse in
MS hrinness parotism integrity, and the wisdom of the
measures OF his administration. In contemplating the
lie OF Gen. Jackson, the circumstances under which he
commenced his career the difficulties which he has en-
counteredn his progress and the elevated station TO which
he has arrived, none but the strongly preudced can
bear the expression OF admiration for the talents and en-
ergy which has enabled him TO accomplish so much for
his own fame and TO render such distinguished services
To his country in the hour of her great peril Belle wing
love oil country with devotion TO her laws and institutions
TO be the predominant feeling OF his heart; considering
him in all respects well qualified discharge duties OF
the President, contributed by our surages TO raise
him 10 that exalted station The result so far has not
disappointed, but fully realized our anticpaons AT mo
period have our foreign relations been more harmonious
and fiendy and by administration has been ac.
compished in adjusting important differences of long
standing with other countries, terms of justice and
cprocity The domestic policy of the administration has
well calculated to promote the wealth. the power and
me happiness oie people; give security and permanency
TO our free institutions, and perpeuae the Union so de-
sirabe every friend Of his country When these facts SO
overwhelming in themselves CARRYING with them such
% S sybsnse Of the real character Of the
and petty subjects of what they term proscripon lie ed
solution OF the late Cabinet and such tales as are tabrica,
ed Tor the press regardless of truth We do intend TO
discuss these objections; we leave them 10 The good se
OF the people, who well know how 10 appreciate them
we believe the true grounds of the opposition to Gen
jackson and ms administration be found the fact
that he drove the late administration with their ysonarv
and latudinous doctrines of power and that he is now
an hsuperable obstacle to the accomplishment of the
purposes OF restless and ambitious political asprants
In the administration OF the government the President
has encountered much embarrassment and dfcuv from
the want OF harmony in his first Cabinet; from the reiec
on oil his nominations TO important offices by the Senate
from the strong efforts in Congress TO couneract and de
eat his policy in relation 10 the Indans-Yet his cours
has been straight forward and deermned he is now
rapidly accomplishing of policy well calculated to
increase the happiness and prosperity country and
nnd The Union together in stronger cords of interest and
affection.
Among the prominent causes of the enbarrassn,en
which has attended the administration of Cen Jackson
was the rejection by the Senate of his nomination of Mar
tin Van Buren, as Minister England. Mr. Van B,ren
was already at the Court of ST. James and i'm an
important negotiation, promising successful result If
he senate had not disclosed the grounds upon which they
acted respect for that body would have forbid the idea
that they actuated by any other motive than that of
promoting the best interests of their country; bur the
sons winch they gave, have stripped the subject of the
guIse which was thrown around it, the exact balance
oil parties proves that purely parzan movement
intended to PROSTATE political rival Let it I've remenl.
bered that the directors amounted precisely to the num-
Der oil Mr. Calhoun's and Mr. Claws political friends
with such predecionsi ii difficult matter to find
mat me nation was degraded by the instructions given to
the Minister TO England, however proper and necessary
they might have been 10y
The period for which Gen. Jackson was elected has
nearly expired, and in the month of October next the
people Of the United States will be again called upon to
elect an individual 10 preside the Government for an
other four years In making the selection great regard
should be had to the peculiar character of the times
which demand that the Chief Magistrate should be man
