The leading National Republican
Journal in Massacbusetts-,he Boston
Courier-denounces the President and
Vice President for their adherence TO
"ths principles Of Jefersoniaa Demoerd-
ey." 1t is not surprising that Mr.. Clay
should sneer at Mr.. Jefferson's authority
when quoted by Mr.. Rives in the Sem
ate, or in the least out of keeping, that
his Immediate organ, the Lexington
Reporter should brand the resolutions
Of '9S. as "mere sound and fury sisaify-
ing nothing" when we find the print in
the north which the most ably supported
Mr.. Clay's pretensions to the presidency
Eliminating in wrath against ga pre-
d,et,en" in favor Of Mr.. Van Buren for
the reasons given in the following para
graph.
1--WE are afraid that events will prove
this prediction too true. 1t would be
difficult for any man who looks to the
good of the nation to chose between Mr..
Van Buren and Democrat of the Jeffer-
sonian school. We say deliver us from
both, let the difference he what il may.
II is adherence TO the accursed "princi-
Piles of Jeffersonian democracy" that has
brought the country to its present en-
barrassments, and the great majority OF
our citizens to the verge of bankruptcy
aud destruction. Andrew jackson is a
devoted worshipper of Thomas Jefferson
and lreads in the steps of tha. arch-de-
ceiver, more closely than any other
Of his successors. He resembles his
prototy pc in all but talent. He has the
same proscriptive spirit, the same bitter
hostility Of temper towards every thing
that opposes his will. Mr.. Jefferson had
! perhaps more caution, and the nrt to
conceal his purposes within his own
breast, till his means and agents were
, prepared for the intended con summation
General Jackson is somewh hat bolder anC
therefore the less TO be feared, because
his intentions can be exposed-if not il
|. time to be frustrated, possibly IN seaso,
TO allow, now and then, a victim to es
cape. We hink the nation has had ex
perience enough of the blessings of JET
r fersOnian democracy. Heaven preserv'
