 intelligent and upright electors of the State to be penly avowed. Hence they have been exceedingly cautious ia all their movements. They have hypo- critically preiendrd to be opposed 10 the admihistra- ion, or al feast to of s leading measures, and have absurdly claimed that there was no connesion between national affairs and State politics. They seemed to be overwhelmed with anxiety for ihe rain- ienaase of pure democracy in the State. though to careful observers was manifest that while they looked one way, they were rowing ano,her," and were making fast wind and tide could carry them jor tke port of fstnodaifernted federalism.

 We rejoice that the office holders have made up this issue, and presented h distinctly o the electors for decision. There be no doubt as Co the result to which inderenden, freemen will cnme. They will

Not few, ioluenred Ly such consid. efaons, have felt disposed overlook iu the career of President Jackson mshy highly dangerous infrac- iiOns of the constitution; and visionary experiments apon the peace. prosperity and happiness Of the 'sy. But # redee@iug traits 6e discovered in the character of President Jackson, where are any such be found in thal of Martin Van Buren? ltis noto- fns that he has acted the part ofa mirror to the Pre- sideh,; tha. he has, serpent like, wormed himself in- so his confidence which he Has greatly abused; tba, he has resor.ed every expedent to infae his pas sions, ready to hurss forth Ht any moment and rage with iSconeevabe fury : and that thus he has obtain ed moral and political power, possessing efficacy like that of in mechanics and which he has d- reced wh the greatest faciliy accouPlsh his own selfish purposes.
