mind. And he and Mr.. Van Buren, believed, that
however clear the proof of Mr.. Calhoun's inno-
cence of the charge made against him, the fact OF
a rupture between him and Gen. Jackson, would
encourage the friends of Mr.. Clay to put him
in nominations and instead of making the issue
between Mr. Calhoun and Gen. Jackson, would
necessarily present an issue between Mr.. Clay
and Gen. Jackson, and that, under such circum-
stances, the opponents of Mr. Clay would adhere
to Gen Jackson, however uniustly they might
believe he had treated Mr.. Calhoun
This saw, and this constituted the difficulty |
Of Mr.. Calhorn's position The result verified
my apprehensions, and Mr. Van Buren's hopes
But that time has gone blythe public mind can
now look back upon the past, and review the
facts and the part Mr.. Kendall took in making
up false issue for the purpose OF diyeEtinS the
public attention from the truth Of the case,
which sAeuld have its influence, and is suiti-
cient to dis"redit what he may now say in rela-
ten to the great questions now before the country
But beg the reader to pause and see to what
end the triumph of Mr.. Van Burcnwill bring u.s.
He now has his agents located in every State
He has the press organised, so that there is
hired editor and pensioned press in almostevery
important village in the Union. The party drill
is completes; the President has become so power
full that members of Congress not only look to
him to reward them with office if they should be
discarded by their constituents, but they look to
the power Of the executive to control the people
themselves. They no longer ask, Sis he honest
is he faithful" to his constituents? but they
ask, ''is he faithful to the PRESIDENT"
WHY is this? Is it not because you have sur
rendered your judgment to the dictation OF self
constituted leaders, who substitute party slang
for political principle? l cannot conclude this
chapter without presenting to your consideration
one fact. Why is it that the party opposed to
MIR. Van Buren, have nominated Gen. Harrison
in preference to Mr.. Clay? No one can deny
that the leading politicians of the wing party
preferred Mr.. Clay; why was General Harrison
nominated? Ponder well over this question. 1t
was because the election of Mr.. Clay would
have been a party triumph over the original
jackson men. Gen. Harrison was nominated be-
cause your old political opponents were anxious
to meet You and me grounds that would en-

and desire to rescue it from the dominion of
corrupt faction. Look around you and see who
are the prominent supporters of the peoples can
didate. How many now active in the cause
of Harrison, who were original jackson men!
1t so happens that know the political opinions
of fourteen of the wing electoral ticket of Vir-
ginia, and twelve of that fourteen were for Jack

minated against such of you as support General
Harrison. 1t proves that there is new organi-
cation of parties.
BY supporting Gen. Harrison, you do not de-
sert your party or go over to your opponents
YOU will support the principles that you
supported in 1928; and If you find men in the
wing ranks who opposed to you then, it is
because they have met you on common plat
form, where you may all work like patriots for
your country. The truth is, that those who
ROW support Gen. Harrison are the best elements
the honest portion of the old parties.
By supporting the hero who has served lis
country with ability and fidelity, we are not de-
serters from the democratic party. We are now,
as we were in 1928, the advocates of REFORM
Amos Kendall, who could not become a Jackson
man until paid the price of his conversion, de
nouncmg and all others who dare to think
for ourselves' Come out from among the slaves
of power, and prove yourselves to be freemen;
rally for Harrison and referm, and prove that
you not to be transferred by your corrupt
party leaders.

extracts, showing what the Argus and Richmond

EEIhe ,tact is clear that MIR. jackson has not
a single feeling in common with the republican
party. The of that-he DESIRES and
makes merit of desiring the total extinction
sf it."
SIT is an, idle thing in this State, however it
may be in others, to strive cUeq, for a moderate
support of Mr.. jackson. He is 7chOIfy ont of
the question, far as the coteS OF .heac KoTlf
are in it. Independently of the disclosures of his
political opinions he could not be the republican
candidate. He is respected gallant soldier,
but he stands in the minds Of the people of this
State, at i1a8ie0sfTabte distance from the
executive chair"
'SHIs HABITS, aside from his politics. are quite
roo SUMMARY for that"
''The course adopted By Mr.. Jackson is food
and roinaent to the .federaliSts and no party
men. 1t is pleasant to al Who Strice ,f5r the
destruction of the democratic party. They viii
every where APPLAUD they have preached it,
and will MAGNIFY THE AUTHOR of doctrines
which well intended for THEIR srRv1cE.D
"The political notions of MIR. Jackson cannot
be mistaken. Under the artful disguise of ele-
waiting men most conspicuous for their probity
virtue, &C., he is bent upoa the destruction, OF
the republican party"

on by republicans, to be discovered to be alto
gether unreal and worse than visionary They
make mockery of the lives and conduct of such |
