m,.mn ua rROI'OSALS l OH A SEVERE politic r.l conflict is approaebmg. A Co--: 1 1 lion" oi factiaus'roen are managing at ashing t'ei 10 acconinlish tlieir selfish ends at the haz-ird of their country's peace, prosperity and honor. Extremes have met. The Champion of an unreasonable Tariff and the author of Nullification, have no principle ia common hu a restless ambition, arc found united i; their efforts to baffle the President in hh foreign negotiations, kindle faction ii our halls of legislation, and fill our country with discontent and anarchy. It is time for the people to take the; alarm! The causeless? reiection of our 1 - -- -- -- - Minister to Gnat Britain, was but the first overt act of this "7oy JlHinncc'' against every thing that is pure in oui government and patriotic, in its administration. It w ill soon be followed In others equally hostile to the interests o( the people and insulting to the President of their choice. Instead of devoting them-elves to the promotion of justice, harmony and peace, a hand of political managers in Congress are spending sleepless nights ai d anxious days in devis'np means to array against the President all the selfish, avaricious, corrupt and corrupting influences which pervade the Republic. With these they hope to vanquish he conquererol Europe's bravest armies, and close in obliquy and disgrace, the. public career of him who " has filled the mcumrc of his country's glory'' What are w e to expect from the success of tills ki.YV:r Coalition W ill our laws he executed with more fidelity and PiirrlmmJ Will mm r noriril fill m.

No; it is not for the benefit of the country that the "New Coalition"' has been formed; nor is any improvement in the public prosperity expected from its success. The struerCle is for cwer, for place, for the publicl treasure. Men who want foreign missions, judgeships and other valuable ofhces, unable to swerve the stern integrity of Andrew Jackson and sell to him their influence and support have united with other aspirants to the Presidency in all sorts of combinations to destroy his popularity and defeat his re-election, that his place may be occupied by one with whom thev may bargain for promotion. It is these men only men who would prefer "war, pestilence and famine, or any other scou-ge," to their own exclusion from power that are seeking to fill the country with complaints and factions. It is the interest and desire of the people to preserve the administration of their government in honest hands. To effect this object, it is only necessary that they guard against deception, and take steps to procure correct information in relation to the administration. They will find ANDREW JACKSON as true to his country no:, as he was vhen he put to hazard fortune, fame 8i life, in repelling our invaders. They will not be content with his simple reelection by the same vote which placed him in the presidential chair; but, by securing him an increased majority, they will reward his patriotic devotion and enable him to finish his career of publick usefulness in glory and in triumph. As in the case of Washington, f o in that of Jackson, they will take care that our Rcpublick shall not be stigmatized with the imputation of ingratitude. To enable every freeman to obtain correct information during the impend-

ing conflict, vc propose to publish Tinfc-

tv numbers of an Extra Globe, com mencing about the first of May and con;inuii;g until tht election ofElectors, for ONE DOLLAR. It will he a large imperial sheet, entirely filled with useful matter. One number will be published after the election, giving the re sult in every State, as much in detail - 7 as possible. It will be chiefly devoted to a vindication of the character, fame and principles of ANDREW JACKSON, with a view to his re-election. It will rcp:l the slanders and falsehoods which ma) he promulgated to destroy lnm, &. hold the 'New-Coalition' up to merited testation. F. P. I'LAIR:
