coalition ni It aslu/t0ton.'* The election iu Ken
tucky it seems, lias filled him will* such a tumult of joy,
that lie has forgotten nut ouly delicacy, but even de
cency in giving expression to it. Think of a candidate
tor the Presidency of the I/. States, fourteen mouths
befoie the election, having the presumption to declare
that he must be choson over the corrupt coalition! —
Think of a man who offers to bejsuch an example to the
world, speaking in terms so degrading of his rivals—the
slang terms of reproach, fabiicaied by the lowest of
l»ia party, and which we are confident not a county can
didate iu Virginia could be ptevaded upon to use to
wards an opponent! Think nf a candidate for the
3’residency having Iho indelicacy to say, “I must he
elected—my rival is a scoundrel.M Think above all,
that this is Gen- Jackson, thu soldier by education,
anil the statesman by iu/itr/jon,—who has been succes
sively compared to all the most shining characters of
* all ajci, and whose language was that the Presidency
was an office neither to ho sought nor rejected! Peo
ple of Virginia! think yc Washington, Jefferson. IVIa- j
dison, Monroe, would have spoken and acted thus?_I
(y.in you bear the idea of making a man their succcs- I
ear aud your ru'«;r, so insensible to the feelings which i
are the ornament, charm and safeguard of society? ’ j
fl I'l Thomas Jefferson m lt>12, been called upon lo
lead our armies to the Canada line, the world would
bare thought it a vers* absurd anil preposterous appoint
ment. Would it have been more so in fact, than now
to call Gen. Jackson to the Presidency of the U. S?
The art of war requires undivided slodv, attention, and
a peculiar order of talent—is the art of governing a
great nation, alone to he acquired without experience
or study? In this study and the discharge or duties in- 1
timately connected with it. Mr. Adams has consumed |
forty years of h>s life under the eye and instructions of j
aslrington, Jefferson, IYIiJison and Monroe. Vi#
in trait no reflection on Gen Jackson when we express j
it as our belief, that he is profoundly ignorant of the j
c.einentsot political science. [lis life has been diiec— j
ted to other pursuits, and it is impossible that he can
know these things which require great talents, and :
the studious toil of years, to acquire them—unless j
indeed, Heaven has wrought a miracle iu his favor, and j
communicated by intuition, that which less favored j
in irtals obtain by dint of labor and long experience.— !
Geu. J. must be still moie ignorant of the science of'
government, than Mr. Jefferson was of that of war, j
and he must in truth be still less prepared to fulfil the
difficult and complicated duties of the President}', than
IMr. Jefferson was to lead an anny. A shoemaker
cannot build a house, nor rv.n a carpenter make a pair
of shoes. The order of nature and men's necessities,
carry them to follow different pursuits and acquire dif
ferent professions.
The Charlottesville Advocate still harps upon IVIr.
Jefferson's opinion in favor of Gen. Jackson. We j
ell the editors that if Mr. Jefferson ever expressed such j
an opinion, that he also unquestionably expressed the I
very reverse. Lot them if they wish it, push this I
question it C3n he proved by evidence which the whole '
world will respect, that .Mr. Jefferson said Gen. Jack
son “was a bear that it was necessary to keep chained
iu time of peace—that his habits, temper and educa
tion disqualified hirn for all civil office—and that he '
considered bis near approach of success ominous to the '
durability of the Kepublrc.”
These things, Mr. Jefferson did say—what be might
have said besides, we do not know nor care. If ex-1
pressions from him in favor of Gen. Jackson as strong '
srs those against him can be authenticated, be it so_I
it will prove no more, than that he was extremely in- j
consistent. All we protest against is the attempt to \
persuade the public that Mr. Jefferson was in favor of!
Gen. Jackson in the teeth of the remarks quoted a—!

j lie would rob Ins friend’s coders,or covet his neighbor’s wife ■
How will the conduct of (Jen. Jackson bear the test of
; exaintn.itioii by such a standard? He has not only public
ly and repeatedly vaunted, that he ought to have been
President of the United States, hut has asset ted that his
claims to this high dignity were of a nature so irresistible
as to admit of no dsnial, except in the corruption of his ;
competitors, lie ha<5 <-nid that he wasrheated of his riel.i*
I —/us right to be rresident of the United Suites!—by n
< oirupl <11 rangcinoiit and baigain between iwo of the
distinguished individuals of his country. Would a man
of iionour—would a conscientious christiau—have made
these vain-glorious boosts, even had the most unequivocal
proofs of the corruption charged been within his power?
Did Gem Jackson voiily believe in the Iranscetidnucy of
his own pretensions? Did lie really suspect the purity of
motive which could induce Kir. Clay to prefer another to
him: Let us look, at the public acts of the two men for an
answer, Let us read the speech of Mr. Clay on the con
duct of the Seminole \\ ar. f.et us cast an eve over the
official report of the victory at Now Oilcans matte by Gen.
Jackson to the Government. If any man, after readiii"
these two documents, can seriously think that a patri-iT
avowing the principles by which the public life of Mr. Clay
had been governed, nod u representative of Kentucky,could
havo voted tor the commander of our forces tin the two
occasions referred to, as Chief Magistrate of this Republic,
then shall 1 he willing to admit that Mr. Clay had Ids
price,and that Mr. Adams purchuscd his vote and influ
ence in the election.
Rut, even supposing that no insuperable objection existed
on the part of Mr. Clay !<■ the chieftain who had conducted
the Seminole War, and who had insulted the citi/.ens of
the State which he represented, still it would he an effort
of more than human charity to believe, that Gen. Jackson
could have been riiher so ignorant of his own standing in
the House of Representatives, or so ill informed as to the
extent ol Mr. Clay's influence over its Members, as seri
ously to entertain the idea that he could, under any cir
cuinstanres, have been elected President. If he did not
know, before the vote was actually taken in thellou.se,
what number of the States intended to support him, ho
could not have shutout the knowledge after the ballots had
h-en am our,rod,—and of course long before the opportu
nity was a (folded him ofamusing his company at the Her
mitage with the tale of Mr. Clay’s “intrigue and inana-c
ment,” that siren States only had voted for him; a^nd
that, consequently, if the wh.de of the States which had
supported Mr. Clay in the first instance, had been solar
under his control ns to have agreed without a murmur to
his transfer of their votes t<. another, the totality which he
might thus have acquired, would have fallen short of the
number necessary to elect him. Whatever Gen. Jackson
may have thought of the influence of Mr. Clay, nr how
ever lie may have been deceived as to the extent of his own
popularity with the assembled States,before the experiment
was made, it is impossible, unless his stupidity be even more
egregious than his vanity, that he could have believed
afirnrards, that the defeat of his pretensions was, in any
way, ascribablc to Mr. Clay.
I have said, in a former number, an,l plcdgn myrelftn
produce llie most unquestionable evidence of the fact,
should it be denied—that one of the States at least, much
as its delegation admire and esteem Mr. Clay, would have
spurned at any proposition from him to vote for (Jen.
Jackson. The pretended belief of the l.mer, therefore,
that he would have been President, if Mr. Clay had pursued
a difleteut course, is as absurd as it is arrogant—unless,
indeed, by some new rule of arithmetic, lie can demonstrate
that ten is the majority of twenty four.
Hut it may he, tha t Gen. Jackson looked to tio blither
rfleet from the vote and influence of Mr. Clay in his favor,
than to prevent an election on the first ballot; and that he
counted upon some fortuitous accession to their united
strength upon a second ballot. Let tis tee upon what
grounds he could build even this remote hope of gratifying
his ambition.
In the fust place, there could have been no reasonable
expectation that any one of the if.c New England States,
attnrlied as they were to Mr. Adams both from natural
and political consider a l ions-, would have changerf the vote
wh'clt they gave on the first ballot. On tiie contrary, it
was well understood, that this formidable, phalanx % ould
continue in unbroken numbers *o vote for the Eastern Can
didate, while a hope remaned that their perseverance would
be rewarded. Had "1 the world abandoned him, Mr.
Adams would s>»H hate been their choice.
In the next place, the State of JVew Yorhaving thirty
six vote* in her electoral college, bad given ftrr/t/(/-*,> to
Mr. Adams, and but one to Gen. Jackson. Is it conceiva
ble, that the honorable men who were clothed with the
power of exptessing the sentiments of that gicat State,could
bare been persuaded so far to fc.iget the responsibility of
their representative chaiacter, ns to have ghen their vote,
under any circumstances, or after any number of tiials, to
one whom their constituents had rejected in the overu-lielin
itrg proportion of thirli/Jiic to one? lie must be cither
grossly credulous, og himself open to coriuption, and thcrc
lorc ready to suspect others, who could for a moment be
lieve that the delegation from New Yoik could have, been
induced to swerve from titer first vote.
It is r\ e.I l.noivn tiiat .N - if Jir.ir//, though her rofe on
the Inst ballot lend been given to the. •‘milituiy rbiefinin,”
would on a second ballot have voted for Mr Adams. The
people cf the State bail been fetched out ot tne expression
of their real sentiments in the formation of their electoral
college; and the representatives erroneously fancied them
selves, in their Jir.it vote, bound to obey the will of that
college. I>ut hail a second vote been neccrsurv, the v on'd
have followed lire dictates of their own judgment and pro
Icrencn. hone of the delegation were decidedly in favoin
of Mr. Adams, and of the other Inn, it was doubtful whcllin
more than one would have continued to suphoit Gen.
Jackson.
I he electors, college of lfr nr/irc liar! given two volr.c
to Mr. Cm n for if, ii nd »me to Mr. . hintns; but nnnr to Gcu.
Jackson.. Indeed at the pciioil we speak of, there were not |
a dnv.on individuals in the St ile, who would hove given
their voice-* tor the General; and the solo representative, I
whatever may be the di-position he has subsequently evin- >
red towards “the Hero,’’ would at that time, ns soon have1
voted for the Prince of Darkness as for him. The same I
may he said of nil the Stales which had. in the first instance,
voted for Mr. Crawford, between whose fiiends and those
of General Jackson ibeie lU'-n scented to he a barrier that
nothing but a miracle could have broken down. This was
not only the individual feeling of the representatives, who
evinced their devotion to .Mr. Crawford by giving him their
first vote; hut it w is the concerted determination of the
whole, after abandoning him, to throw their weight into
the scale with Vr. Adams.
1 no Stale of Mitrf/hm'f, as was shown by the official
returns o( the votes taken at her electoral election, was in
f ivoi of Mr. Adams. Out owing to the most unprincipled
, leagues formed against him, in some of the districts of the
'late, and to tins indiscreet division among Ids friends in
I i-ilieis, an electoral college v as finned which cheated the
I majority of the people n( their undeniable right to confront
| die voice cd the S'mic. Several, of the delegation, too, had
j imprudently ph'tj'rrl themselves t>- vote for Gen. Jackson
( on the first ballot, who would otherwise have voted for Mr.
j Adams, i .nisi Iciingfhi- pledge,hoW"ver, as redeemed by
ill single vote, they would in every subsequent one have j
exercised their ow.i judgment ami preference by voting fi-r .
. Mr. Adams. This 1 know to have been the determination
of tiro of the representatives uho voted for Geo. Jackson.
V\ ith regard to the Ijtute of Ohio, her delegation were
opposed to fien. Jacksoii upon principles which they could
cot Invc yielded, without forgetting the duty they owed to
'heir constituents. The. vital interests or the. State were
at war v ith the avowed opinions of the greater po. Iron of
j • ten. Jackson's friends; and these opinions, if was believed,
j whatever might have hern his own sentiments, would pre
t vail in the policy of his Administration. To suppose,
i therefore, that OhioCould have hero induced, in any event,
I to vote for Gen. Jack on, is to suppose the existence of
I corruption, not only in Mr. Chip, hot in the whole dclega*
• inn liornili.it State, which it is known was composed of ns
i honorable men as were ever entrusted with the guardian
ship of their country's interests. They were such men as
Gen. Jackson himself, bold as he has shown himself in
attributing dishonest motives, would not have dared to
charge with corruption.
The representative of Illinois was a warm personal as
well as political friend of Mr. Adams. The same motives
which actuated him in the fust ballot, would have conti
nued to govern his subsequent votes. In confirmation of
h'j t'-'- n choice, h- knew that d large majority of his Con
j i.ituenis wove Appi-scii to i.to o loci ion oi 1,011. Jackson, him

j t!t«it, that lie could have been InlUteiiced eitlier by Mr.
'(.lay or by any body rise, to change the course at hist
I marked out for himself?
| From this statement—cvrrv part of tvhiclt may lie sub
| stautiuted by the clearest evidence—it appeals, that so far
j Loin its hi big piobahle that (leu. Jackson could have hi.
j elected through the inlbience of Mr. (’lay. either on the
. ftiot or second ballot, Mi. Adams would have received the
I votes t'f jiftetn Stale*, at the least, had it been necessary
j to resort to another trial. Look at the subject then as wc
j ’ * r,'pe«t that it is scarcely within the limits of/to.*si
I that fit'll. Jackson could have been ignorant, when
lie attributed bis detent to the corruption <>1 Mr. Clay, that
lit was not only uttering an unfounded slander against that
| i u$tnous patriot, hut that lie was innkiii” a boast of his
j oi\ n popularity and pretensions, as incompatible with the
. coararti rof an liaiiorablc man, as it was i%jiinte from rca

A hIan‘1pr ltas been just propagated through some of
'the Opposition pipers, on the subject of a supposed

! of the Gist named gentleman. The Richmond En

if proper means had b« -a early taken «o ensure fair
play to the friends of Mr. Adams and Clay. General
Jackson’s interference had some ctTect: his letter to '
Owens was published just in time for the opening of
the polls; his letter to Daniel was not published, but
it was read to the people from the stump; hut tl* most
