Jacks in evinces the highest intellectual endowments, undoubted republicanism, spotless iijlflgrity, and the brightest honor; yet he is unlearned in the ways of political intrigue, and he denies thi right and rejects the authority of congressional caucuses, it is pretendpd he is not, he cannot he a statesman Delieve you this, Fellow Citizens? Hive you forgotten thus soon your Washington, and your host of revolutionary worthies, who conducted ycur fathers through the dangers and the difficulties of a seven years war, taught them, to exchange the sword for the ploughshare, and then blessed Ahem with that glorious frame of civil government, our constitution. Thehardsbips, the adversities and visisitudes of the revolution invigorated and chastened the minds uf your fathers and of their leaders

I ue love of justice inspired their hearts, and the spirit of freedom fired their souls. Washington and his compatriots first acquired fame as soldiers. First exhibit; djlbeir capacity evinced their zeal & their integrity as soldiers, your fathers confined in them as statesmen. Were they disappointed? To those soldiers, to those statesmen, you are indebted for your liberty, your prosperity and your happiness, s Nevertheless, then as now, much stress was placed on the necessity of t xperience, to make the safe statesman, and much importance w:s attached to the dangers to be apprehended by republics, from military influence. Your fathers trusted to the capacity aud the intelligence, the patriotism, tne integrity and the love of freedom, which the deeds of a seven years war bad developed and tested, in preference to the boasted acquirements of the closest. They were not disappointed. Nor will vou in putting your trust in Andrew Jackson, in the hero of two wars, in the Savhfar uf N OHenr., in him- w.lvaie--trieved his countrj's honor at the hands of the laureled ve trans of hi country's enemy, will not, cannot be disappointed. The ghtsfs of Agacothies and Philip of Macedon, of Caesar and of the victim of St. Helena, are summoned from" the shades, to dt ter you rom the . elevation of General Jackson to the Presidency, to deter you from the couise pointed out not only by the judgment of your own unsophisticated minds, but by the bonest dictates of your uncorrupted hearts. It is true that in many in'Sances, military power has been the immediate means by which the downfall uf republics has-been tffVcted But althoAigh military power may have beeimhe wears, private vice and public corruption has ever been the c uv I he history of philosophy, tbe legislation of Salon and the genius ( f her sons have immortalized Athens. The time was 'when the spirit of Minerva inspired her councils. Neptune bowed his trident before her and the commerce of the world poured the wealth of nations at her feet. But "orruplion s-ealed the destiny of the Atheuians. Pericles had expended the spoils of the public treasury, in ur-Ding his fellow citizens virtuehad ceased to exist, at Athens the brightness of her glory was stained venality pervaded every department vi ine state, ana every class of men the meretricious charms of wealth had inspired every bosom, asd luxury had enfeebled "every mind, before Philip triumphed at Choeronea W lien the foundation of Rome' greatness was laid, the seeds of her destruction were planted. Spurnin at philosophy, commerce and the arts! war was tbe profession plundvr was the pursuit of every Roman. While we view, wi;h astonishment, the perseverance of the republic, in moulding the manners and opinions of her scr.sto this sysiPm, every enlightened or liberal mind can feel only disgust, at her improvident domestic poiicy When the p'undtr of the world had glittered in the triumphs of her chiefs when her senate . adjudicated the late cf kincs whrn the destiny of tiafinns awaited her nod, the people of Rome bad become a nation of beggars, destitute of morality, intelliircijce, property and industry. Not the ambition of Ccesar, but the gt;nera! practice cf every vice, which cou'd j cojrujllhe heart, vitiate the mind, or I

enfeeble the Hdy of man, produce Ihe destruction of Roman liberty. IF the Romans had 'je en capable ."of libpr'j it' a spark of the magnanimity of their ancestors -had remained if public virtue had not been extinguish' cd by the flow of every vice, which could dishonor the magistrate, or jlisgrace the citizen, Cassar would have met the'fate of Cataiine. When vir lue had lost its influence vvheu honor had ceased to attract when patriotism had become the cloak of knavery and the disguise of selfishness, despotism became the only refuge from" universal anarchy. Nuure gifted Caesar with . talents; chance excited ni ambition; his army, demoralized by the plunder of Spain and of Gaul, aflWded the instrument, and the vice of the times bestowed on him the m stery of the worli Despotism was the tithanasia of Roman liberty. These, fellow citi zens, these are the sort cf examples prouueeu i rom history, to deter you t irom tne course dictated by every sentiment that can ennoble the mind or dihnify the heart of man. These were the sort of examples produced to deter your fathers liom the elevation of Washington, to the Presidency. But they denipd thejuialogv. .. Di you admit it? Do you yet, u" the infancy of your national exisfjnee, confess yourselves so demoralized by public corruption, so vitiated by private vices, that virtue and goodness, the love of liberty, and of your country's glory, is extinct among you; that m jral excellence has lost its attractions for you; that honor has ceased to influence you, and that patriotism has become only a name to disguise your debasement Can this be? It it is, then despotism is your only reluge from yourselves, and speedily must environ you. But if, as your glorious fathers, you stand firm in vnnj-jyijgtji, Jf pu rely on your virtue and iovTof fibertyrtoT your rights and liberties, nticipation cannot offer any fear. The vices of their times, made Philip and Caesar, Cromwell and Bonaparte. ' Wide you preserve the purity of your firesides, the moral influence of you institutions will ever curb tbe illicit ambition cf your leaders.. ' Thus long you may safely trust the defence of your liberties, to the energies of 900 ono freemen and brethren, witb arms io their bands. But, when private vice shall have enervated you, when public corruption shall have debased you, your vice and corruption will produce some Cas.ar or some Napoleon, and irresistably force you nto arms. Sucb is the true moral the history of republics presents to your considerationBeware then, fellow-citizens, beware, that while guarding yourselves against danger, from a man who cannot now exist among you, )ou do not encourage the growth of that vice and that corruption which will assuredly produce him. There is no parallel between the examples offered and your situation. But there is a strong analogy between the case of your fathers in relation to Washington, and your situation in reference to General Jackson. To this we respectfully desire your attention, and if you find the resemblance dear and distinct, we pray jou to imitate the example. - Each appear to have bpen called into action by the emergencies which rendered their exet tions essential to their country's s; fety and independence. The mind of each seems to have been regulated, poised and matured by the" danger mid difficulties, the hardships ard Visisitudes by which they were, surrounded . Each, when urged by dMy, ever nppear to have exhibited the sam manly heedlessness of responsibility. In both you have seen the ame strict rpgard fer justice, the same excellence uf judgment, firmness in danger and energy in action. Each, whtn cov ered w ith laurels, gaioed in defence ef his country's independence, has retired from mi'itary command to the shades of private hfe. Each, first in the hearts of his countrymen, has been called froni retirement to the councils of the nation. Each, w as ever distinguiscd by Ihe amenity of his manneis, and each has ever been re garded, with love and reverence, by sli within hi circle of actions. Washing'an, Ibepsop'e'ichmce, wuse'eva-
