Of Tie fatal consequences that may result from permit
tng the election Of the next President 10 be thrown into
Congress- and also TO call your attention TO state Of
facts that too plainly indicate that to be the fixed nten
ton Of our opponents. The Wings OF The South have
rallied unon Messrs. White and Tyler, III the middle and
north west States upon Messrs. Harrison and Granger
and in the North upon Mr.. Webster ard any body, with
the obvious design OF dividing the vote OF The country

country in the place Of Mr. Jefferson the Democratic
candidate, and who alone in truth had been voted fr by
the People for the Presidency. Nor VIC have forgot
tic management and intrigue which is believed to
have characterized the only other instance when The

President, and Immediately received his reward IN the
ciIcc OF Secretary Of State, which, 10 that uic had
been regarded the line Of succession TO the Presidency
1t for this act mainly that indignant people broke
down that coalition at the expiration OF their frs term

the people, and operate solemn adn"nton TO pre-
vcrt, If pnssble tic election from being thrown by the
management OF opponents into the House OF Repre-
