1t Will be seen BY the reader that, according 10 the
British Whir prophecies IN l>32, Andrew Jackson was
doomed 10 retire from Office aillie close oi his first term
with a mcarre minority Of a electoral votes, and that
Ia4 were claimed BY the Opposition. Now let u see
how the case stood when the people came 10 act upon the
matter. Instead Of ~ electoral votes merely, Andrew
Jackson received Zl9! And Henry Clay, after all the
noise and uproar about the Bank Veto, came out of the

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FlNE more Of the

That infatuated party are slow to learn wisdom from

Of what marvellous deeds they Will accomplish HcH

At the present time they are calculating upon Just
such a victory over Martin Van Buren, "a they pro-
missed themselves over Andrew Jackson, his illustri-
Gus excmplar, in I>&3. Their hopes are doomed to pc
IRISH with The next autumnal leaves, as they did eight
wears ago. Then they had a candidate on whom they
were united, and who on the score Of exalted talents
at least, could command respcc; and admiration. At
this time they come INTO the field with a ii;iI-ratc
politician, who in his best days was distinguish
cd ONLY for his agency IN the enactment 0! arbitrary and
unpopular laws. and his uniform advocacy of anti-rcpub-
lican principlcs-whU took n commission III the army
merely for the sake OF the pay, and resigned in III"
very heat of the war, al the critical time when h0ocS
were most wantcd-a man worn down b. the weight
of seventy winters, aud who, in the extremity Of his
dotagc and imbccillty, is placed under an ignominouS
Guardianship. The nomination Of Henry Clay proved
an extraordinary abortion. That Of Harrison will be a
more decided one.
