prevent the nomination of man, who had
lost the confidence of every party and of
every set of men who had heretofore sup
ported him. knew that if our party re-
posed confidence in him, they would be in
the end, betrayed, and the fact that he .cas
rejected By the Convention, ,oten presented
by the Committee, is sufficient PROOF that the
patty generally entertained the same belief:
and | can inform "Rigdom" that this opHn-
ion has continued to spread through the
county ever since. l stated before what |
knew to be the opinions and feeling of the
jackson men in this town almost without
exception. j have since had an opportu-
nifty of learning the views of those in other
towns, and in general, they accord with
ours here. In fact there is scarcely but one
opinion, and that is, that the nomination
was piece Of downright political sui
eide! "Rigdom" says it will be supported.
say if it is, it must be done by some 9TH
er description of men than Jacksonians
and further, if tits, | will never predict
again until he becomes an honest man.
Let this new light talk as much as he
pleases, OF supporting regular nominations
when fairly made. lie has given defini-
ton of Jackson republican principles
which is TO support nominations. He gives
as good definition as he knows, having
but quite recently embraced the doctrines;
but 1t is in .Ne,O York that nine pence is
shilling. 1t was the Jeffersonian doctrine
to inquire, Is lie good man ? is he honest?
And this is the Jacksonian doctrine.
cannot permit any other man or set of men
TO become my conscience keepers in the
important matter of The elective franchise.
l have sworn to act upon my own judy
ment in such cases, and am determined
that par discipline or party terror shall
not render that oath dead letter. Besides,
Rigdom's" proposition is not broad enough
TO answer his purpose. He should have
insisted that we are bound by irregular
nominations unfairly made. And if he
can satisfy Jacksonmen Of this, he may
count upon their votes but not till then.
This dislnterested writer intimated further,
that were it not for the private spleen of the
writer of this, he would admit the nomina-
lion to have. keen an unbiased expression
OF the views of the people. Strange! A
nomination promptly voted down in a
Convention where it is alleged to have
been made by the people. Il would now
just inform "Rigdom" that no private spleen
will prevent me from voting for honest
consistent men, put in nomination by the
Jacksonian Conventions.) But the voice of
the people on the first Tuesday in Septem-
Der will undeceive the sticker for irregular
nominations. He will learn truth that
will be OF some importance to the family,
and that is, that it is u few years too early
in Vermont, at least, to ask the voting mass
of any party, suddenly at the word of COM
mand TO lay aside their own principles and
adopt political weather cock who is not
steady enough to any thing to claim the
merit of being sincere in the wrong!
But another correspondent appears in
the Star of the same date-a poor little
tatherless, motheress, and naneless thing,
carrying more fire than wit. He is of so
little consequence, his folks thought it no
object to give him name, but the Jack
sonians will give him one on the eve of the
first Tuesday in September, and chrsten
him from the same bowl that he and his
coworkers have mingled for us to drink.
lie intimates that the writer of this would
give more for his will Than for soul
and body both. 1t is quite natural for all
men to want to have their will, but as
much as | want mine, | would not be
wheeded about by every wind of doctrine
us he is, to obtain mine and his too. "Rig-
DOM ana him OF the North Star may con-
tinle to try to deceive themselves and 9TH
ers, but honest Jacksonmen know their
own feelings and cannot be cheated and
wheeded out of their senses. Such men,
who have never heretofore acted with our
party, and who now only pretend to con-
cur with us the better TO use US for their
selfish purposes, pretend to question the
Democracy of an Original Jackson Man.
Unparalleled impudence If know any
thing of the stuff of which Jackson men
are made, they will spurn with Indignation
the miserable efforts of these new lights
to draw them into the support of men whom
they heartily despise. They will learn in
due time that the old and tried friends of
Jackson are not in the market, ready to be
bought and sold like sheep for the slaugh-
ter.
