The kindness in which our new paper has been
received, and the favorable notices of it by our
political friends, place us under many obligations
to them. 1t is also source of great pleasure
that, so far, we have not seen a single unltind re-
mark from any press, even in those to whom we
are opposed This is an act of liberality, and
forbearance that, after our experience, and the
part we have taken in the political discussions Of
the last sixteen years, deserves and receives our
grateful Acknowledgements. Those who Know US
personally, admit that we have, at least, the me
rit of sincerity, and these are times when much
should be FORGIVEN for the sake of an opinion
Among those who have spoken favorably of us.
is the Editor of the Somerset Herald; the tenor of
whose article bespeaks friendly purpose: but
he does not fully comprehend the relation which
we bear to the Wing party, and has given to the
refusal of our late political friends TO support
the Editor as printer to Congress, a consequence
which it does not merit, and especially as an In
ference NAV be drawn from the article that We
| resolved to support General Harrison because
we had been thurst aside by them. The facts are
| that as far back as the controversy between en-
| jackson and South Carolina, the Editor a .ht
| Pilot assumed, for the states right party viii
whom he acted, the cognomen of WIG, ard de
nou.,ced tine adherents Of the administration a:

MANY of whom at that time sustained General
Jackson, adopted Wing as their party names. #
will thus be seen that SO far from standing out
and refusing to become Wing, we stand in the
front rank. ....r ..-..-.-- -
And again; the Editor says ''that thus dis
glsted ana lily used, on the nomination of Gen.
Harrison" we announced our intention to sup
port him This is true, but it leaves an inference
that we resol led to support him because we vera
thus iilv treated, whereas the truth is, our PIE
ference for General Harrison is of long standing,
and was avowed before MS nomination.

TO THE ORIGINAL JACKSON MEN

TO THE ORIGINAL. JACKSON MEN
You and were once together. We were united
what we sincerely belived to be the cause OF
The country. We were denounced for opposing
the administration. We were told that it was
wrong to oppose the Government. We cid OPP
pose Mr.. Adams, and Gen. Jackson came into
Office by our votes. 1t was my lot to be near him
to witness the tricks and articles that were
used to to mislead his Judgment, and enlist his
passions and prejudices. Gen. jackson was but
man, and like other men he had his faults. He
came into Office with good intentions, and every
thing went on smoothly-all was right, until
Mr.. Van Buren,, finding that he could not then
be taken up as a candidate, had Gen. Jackson
nominated for reelection 1t was then that those
who surrounded him, abused his confid, NE, and
used him to accomplish their own purposes.
Gen. jackson, as a candidate for reelection, be-
gan to use the federal patronage as means OF
sustaining his popularity and buying up votes
He established paper, because l refused to sur
render my independence an editor and CHAR
acter as a man-because l preferred to support
your interests, and refused to fatter his vanity
and pander for the fatterers and parasites VINO
surrounded him. The power and patronage OF
the Government was so great that it sustained
him and enabled him to appoint his successor
The present condition of the country, has been
the result of the political warfare which origi-
mated in the intrigues for the Presidency which
were sustained by the patronage OF the iederai
government. There is one thing which should
satisfy you, that those who support Mr. Van Blu
rem are on the wrong side. Our creed is that
the will of the people should govern-the I'M
biassed-unbought suffrage of freemen- Now
with all the patronage of the government, and
all the aid of pensioned press, it was as much
as Mr. Van Buren, could do to be elected. What
do you suppose would have been the vote for
Mr.. Van Buren, if the patronage OF the govern
ment had been exerted as much against him as it
was for him He could not have obtained
single vote. Is it right that the President should
control the elections and reflect himself
Let one in whom you once had confidence; one
who never has betrayed you, call on you to con-
slider these things. The signs of the times are
suspicious. IT the honest original jackson men
are true to their original principles, we will

waen MIR. Jefferson and the elder Adams, Gen.
Harrison and myself were residing in the North
western Territory, and of course had not the pri-
y;Ieoe of voting At that time, v as IL habits
of great intimacy with Gen. Harris, n, although

strongly, and he, with equal warmth supported
Mr.. Jefferson. During that controversy, from
1875 to 1900 inclusive, conversed and argued
,y;tb him times without number-he sustaining
Mr.. Jefferson and Mr.. Adams. You may assure
YOUR friend, that there was not more cons,s-
tent, decided supporter OF Mr. Jefferson, In the
North Western Territory, then Gen. Harrison.
For the truth of this declaration, most willingly
pledge my reputation.
