PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
Al meeting o: the Jackson Corresponding Committee
tor me county Of Cumberland, held the 23d day Of
Ocooer 1881 at tho Courthouse being Court day. the
'ouowing preamble and resolutions were adopted:
ms Committee cannot but view with intense feelings
Tue uisisseung and alarming divisions in the Republican
RANKS Oh e Southern portion OF the United States, which,
having but one common interest, pursuing different
roads 10 attain the offset, viz: the overthrow the
system which seeks impose oncrous cxacions upo, tho
ahor oil one portion OF the community for the benefit OF
another. Whilst feelings altogether Southern
anu would revolt at the idea Of submitting the prnci-
PIE OF ourtenng industry, Tor the sole purpose Of
protecting the manufacturers OF other States we must
deeply lament that portion Of our brethren in South
Carolina aud Georgia. respectable both for numbers and
ehs' should think II proper, without concert with their
fellow sufferers in their sister States, take the remedy
mo teir own hands and threaten 10 redress their wrongs
y what Is familiarity called Modification In this state OF
things we look 10 the reelection of our weiried and
faithful President Andrew Jackson the best means ..
restoring harmony in tho Republican family, rc-uniting
our broken phaanx, aud thereby enabling the
storm OF sinister legislation which destroys our peace
ana must ultimately involve our beloved country civil
war; and dsunion, unless returning sense of Justice
shall govern the course of our oppressos.
hesofred therefore, That confidence in the wisdom
and patriotism OF our venerable President, Andrew Jack
son. Is undn'nshed, and that best exerons will be
employed TO promote his election by all proper means
Resoired That while we accord to Philip p. Barbour,
the native sou oil Virginia, every thing can be claim
ed Tor him as politician orthodox in his principles and
undertaking in his Republican course, throug hou long
period OF public services yet know too well from
ry source oil Information that is accessible TO us that the
prospect oil his election the Vice Presidency i, utterly
hopeless and that every effort TO promote it, could have
no other effect than TO aid political enemies i'm taking
hc eeeuoh OUT OF the hands OF the people, the only safe
depository OF their liberties, and carrying il into the Sc
nate OF Tie United Staes-a body constituted upon the
principles oil equal representation; in great measure
irresponsible TO the peoples known regardless, of the
principles OF equal rights among the several members OF
the comrac and opposed TO the demand. of Justice from
the Southern STATES, who nothing but tt oT
their laor burbcnsd with their just proportion of
the expenses of the Government according the terms
anu provisions OF that compact.
Resolved, That while we do not consider Martin Van
Buren,, politician free from objection 10 tho
OF southern rights and Southern interests, must he
allowed TO say, that his political has been much
misrepresened that he has upon various &C both
IN the councils OF his native State upon the floor OF
Congress shown himself able AMI jealous advocate
Republican principles and the rights OF the Stacs and
that our prospect OF success in rescung the Constitution
from the desoiating hands OF the advocates of a,i,uuo
construction consolidation and monarchy will he much
brighter IN his hands, than in those of John Sergeant
who as ar as we know and believe is ultra Federss
the old SCHOOL, an advocate for the broadcast
ton OF the Constitution giving all the power TO the Cen
eral government that the greatest atitudinaran ever
claimed; hchng from the hard earnings of the agricu
tua states every cent that the heaviest tariff ever
would wrest from them; Internal Improvement in i,s
greatest extent by the General Governments in short 60
ing all lengths In support OF every that is oppes
ve TO the Southern States, and thwarng us in every
measure we propose for the redress our
hesoiued, That no art or management OF our enemies
or deiuded friends can deceive into belief that the
contest for the Vice Presidency rests any where b, he
tween Martin Van Buren, and John Sergeant; and con-
sequenty, every vote given any other candidate than
Van Buren, Is calculated far as IL goes to carry the
election into the Senate and thereby promote the cleo
ton OF Sergeant
In addition 10 the fore going proce edinps i
beg leave TO suggest that there is another view which il
becomes the friends OF Jackson of this subject
Though we cannot believe, il the sense of the peone
could be fully TAKEN there would appear TO be near one
third OF the qualified voters of the State in the Opposition
YET considering our own supneness and the
al a "a iii
on one OF their tickets, that they may give larger vote
Than either OF the Jackson tickets get
The consequence would be, that the vote of VIRGINIA
would he gwen against Gen. Jackson and in favor OF the
Opposition candidatetat is t requires no sagacv TO
say) in favor OF the Clay and Sergeant ticket For be
remembered, and let it be seriously pondcred the two
jackson tickets being for different electors could not be
united IN counting the votes for President hi. friends
