State, then was the coalition founded up-!civil than .1 military capacity h.is for experimental knowledge which fits him

on a corrupt ponutai uuigam. Now; it is almost impossible for any impartial man itseems to me to entertain a doubt that ftfnCIa v had at least indirectly assurances that he would he

made Secretary of State, and that lie ne

ir would have voted for Mr; Adams

withdist such assurances. Such are some of the prominent cir

Cumstances upon which! rest the charge

of a corrupt coalition between Mr. ad ams and Mr. Clay.

I now invite your attention to some of

the objections urged oy Mr. day ana gome of his partisaus against Gen. Jackon, as an excuse for the conduct of Mr. Clay in voting against him. ft is said by Mr. Clay, that Gi?n. Jackson is a "military chieftain," and that it would endanger the liberties of the country to elevate him to the chief civil office of th Tienublic.

j A very brief recurrence to the history cf military usurpers will satisfy you that uch an objection would be better suited to the declamations of a school boy, than to the grave discussion of a statesman. Th three principle military usurpers, who hav figured in the history of the world, are Caesar, Ccomwell and Bonaparte; arid I invite your particular attention to the condition of Rome, England and France, at the period of their respective usurpations, and to the caus

es which paved the way for their ascendency. Iu each of these remarkable instances, the country of the. military usurpers was notoriously sunk to the very lowest depths of wretchedness, and involved in the destructive anarchy civil tvar, by the universal corruption and oppressive despotism of the civil 'overnrnent. Who, if he had been a Roman, tvoul A not have preferred the dominion

fellow-citizens, for the charge bro't b Mr. Clay against Gen. Jackson,for saving his country. There are some minor objections

which I should be very glad to answer,

but on such an occasion 1 will not go far tax your patience.

Some one in the crowd here signifi

cantly pronounced the name of AmbrisTEa! in an audible tone of voice, which

was evidently intended for the ear of Mr. McDuffie, and was thus promptly

noticed by him:

1 hear a voice exclaim Ambrtster! As

I presume it is from a constituent, it shall

receive the most respectlul attention.

I thank you, Sir, for that word, lor it furnishes me with an occasion to vindicate General Jackson against one of the many charges brought against him, founded on the most patriotic and meritorious acts of his public life. Who, then, was Ambrister, and what were the

causes of his execution? He was a Bri

tish renegade, an outlaw from civilization, who associated himself with our

savage enemies, whose known rule of

warfare was an indiscriminate slaughter

nr the government of this country.

What are the offices he has filled during the long period of his public service, what are the circumstances under which he has held those offices, and what are the monuments he has left behind of his extraordinary capacity to serve his country? Through the principal part of the

period of his public service he has been a mere hanger on upon the government holding its office more for their emoluments, than with the view of rendering any important service to the country. In the long course of his diplomatic service as a foreign minister with the exception of the negotiation at Ghent, in which he was associated with four others he has not a single memorial of his diplomatic

skill on record, unless we regard as such a memorial, the public documents which shew the enormous amount of the public

treasure which he has drawn as a compensation for his services. It is to me a very strange notion that a man is to be qualified, to govern

the republic, by residing during the prime of his life out of his own country, dancing attendance as a resident minister upon a foreign court, and paying homage to the absurd frivolities of its etiquette. I should not hesitate to say that ten years service in congress, or in any of the important offices of the government at home will give a man a better experimental knowledge of the constitution and nolicv of his country, and

abroad in the character of a foreign minister. In fact, I should regard this latter as having a disqualifying tendency. In witnessing the intrigues and corruptions of foreign courts, a foreign minister certainly does not improve his knowledge of the character of his own countrymen, and government, however he may improve himself in the refined arts which he has so familiarly witnessed among strangers. In dwelling upon the great political experience of. Air. Adams, his advocates almost invariably seem to take it for granted that Jackson has had no experience at all in the civil department. There cannot be a greater error. Through the whole period of his life from the earliest manhood he has filled, in succession, almost all the civil offices known to the constitution of his

country. He was a member of the convention which formed the constitution of

Tennessee. A judge of the suprem

court of that state. Twice a senator in

congress, and governor of Florida. 'T I x I II ! Y

i uere is mis remancaoie uuierence,

however, between Gen. Jackson and Mr. Adams. General Jackson, remarkable for his disinterested patriotism has accepted office, with a view to render the republic some service, and has invariably resigned, when he found that from the situation of the country, his services could not be eminently useful. Mr. Adams, on the contrary, has generally held on to all the offices that have

been conferred upon him, as long as he

could, taking special care that the salary, and the expense of travelling whether

tion, have lost half their value. It is in the power of congress to relieve

it from present distress and jeopardy , to

Your petitioners might present their

views, in extensive considerations ot the subject. Deprived by natural circumstances of concerted action, and almost of common cause, in this respect the weakest interest of the country, your petitioners have been induced to meet together, from various distant places, for the purpose of exchanging sentiments personally, and uniting on this occasion

in a petition to congress for that justice,

which no doubt w ill be promptly dispensed, as soon as your honorable bodies are convinced that the country stands in need of it. Your petitioners disclaim all sectional and merely individual views. They would not venture to approach the constituted authorities of the country with this memorial, if not satisfied thai its representatives have uniformly recognized the interest in question as of primary national importance. Wherefore they lespeei fully but earnestly solicit your honorable bodies, to save, to protect and promote, w hat has uniformly been treated by government as one ot the principle elements of the independence, prospentv, and greatness tl Ihir

republic. Without further argument, but trust

ing to the wisdom and patriotism of con

Not presuming to suggeet the details

of such an act of congress as would put

a step to the ruinous fluctuations which for the last nine years having distressed the farmers and manufacturers of the U. States, striving to make head against the foreign legislation which deprives them

oi meir own markets, our petitioners

nevertheless, with the utmost deference,

submit to the superior wisdom, and uneontrolied disposition of congress, the folJown g rates of duties, as calculated lo accomplish that purpose, viz. 1st. On raw wool, costing over eight cents in a foieigu country , a duty of twenty cents per pound, to be increased an

nually two and a half cents per pound,1

till it reaches fifty cents per pound.

2d. Ail goods composed of wool, or of

nent establishment of the manufactures of iron and steel. Flax and hemp, with their product?, may be obtained in such quantities as to supersede the use of foreign ilax and hemp and the manufacturers from them, if protected from the large importations of those articles from foreign countries. The further protection of a large cajrital in distilled spirits, is also respectfully recommended to the consideration of congress, as important to the grain growing states. Further protection to cotton gcodf and printed cottons, is invited by the success of the coarse cottons, which, like every other article adequately protected by law, has become cheaper and better than similar manufactures formerly bio't from abroad.
