by almost unanimous public sentiment IN Tennes

occurrence within the range Of possibility; and We
therefore regard the ensuing April elections as de-
,erminirs almost with certainty, whc her Virginia
will give her vote for Ven Buren, or for White.
What say ye, people Of Virginia
There is, too, powerful consideration, to which
we have not yet advcred, which will go very far
to reconcile he Wings TO Inc election Of Judge
Whrc, even were there greater and more numc-
rous objections to him than there really hrc Should
he be elected sustaining, as he does, most OF the
impcrtan, principles contendcd for by the Jackson
party, especially in relation to the munster he
would be sure of the support OF the honest portion
Of that party, who could not, consistently, nrray
themselves in opposition TO his administration
whilo, OH the other hand, being elected by the
Wings, with full knowledge Of the points Of DIFF
ference in their respective sentiments, they would
be bound to ncquiesce in measures, which they
nigh, not cordially approve. Thus, the =" era OF
good feelings" would once more return-the voice
Of faction would be hushed--the reign Of dcma-
gogues would DO at an enJ-ihc gtor1onS army OF
office holders instead Of being 'he scrvlIc mnons OF
Executive dotation, would be, as they were io'en'
ded 10 be, the servants Of the pcople-ihc odous
system of" rewards and panshments,' for opinion
sake, would be secuted from the land-and, more
important than I'll, Executive patronage would be
abridged, and Executive power would be c"r'e'led,
within limits compatible alike with constitutional
guarantees and with public liberty.
