DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE for president A2TDR23W JACIISOIT. ELECTION IS 1832 . "The Man and his Measures: Equal protection to Agriculture, Manufactures, and Com merce: A literal construction of the Constitution, with the exercise of express, not implied powers : A firm adherence to democratic principles, to individual and municipal rights, to the sovereignty of the states, and the sovereignty of the people fT" We have been requested to announce EOTRRAY esq. as a candidate to represent this county in the next legislature. Hon. J. L. Ifolman is announced as a candidate for the U S. Senate, to fill the p'ace of Hon. James Noble, deceased. Gen. JONATHAN M'CARTY, ar. rived in our village on yesterday evening, and ha? authorized U3 to say that he ia a candidate to represent thia district in the 22d congress. The Statesman, of yesterday, announces Doctor Ezra Ferria, Col. Pinckney James, and James Walker, esqr. as candidates for the legislature in this county. Where is the imposing name of Samuel If. Dowden, esqr? Do the wireworkers of the Lawrenceburgh secret dictation club, considerhim "wind-galled and spavined," (as the editor of the Statesman would poeticul'y say.) by public opinion, and unfit to be backed for another race The pinks of "good society" must have but a poor opinion of Mr. D's bottom, (technically speaking,) if, after one heat, he is thus to fce jockied off' the course. Will he submit to it? Will those who elected him last year, by a large majority, over two of the men now brought forth by the Lawrencebuegh junto, suffer him to be jostled off, in order to make way for favorites? The last Statesman contains an editorial article indirectly charging us with "inconsistency." False and unfounded as this charge is, coming from a person standing, in some respects, as the mouth-piece of men having some claims to respect, we may be excused for extending to it a greater notice than a mere denial. In the summer, pending the last congressional election in this district, a notice was given in this paper, by request of some citizens of Lagan township, that a Jackson meeting would be held Li that township. We, in company with tome others, attended, and at the request of those present, after several had declined, acted as secretary. Sundry resolutions were offered and adopted by the meeting and among them, one nominating Gen Jonathan M'Carty for congress. In the preparation nor adoption of the resolutions we had no agency. ' Yet it is on the ground, we suppose, that we acted as secretary to this meeting, at which Gen. M'Carty was nominated for congress, when it was known we were friendly to Mr. Smith for that office, we are charged with "inconsistency." The public, from this simple statement can judge of the truth of the charge. The Statesman editor rather under rates our military standing, by calling us "corporal' and "little drill-sergeant." Dues he not recollect that, reposing confidence in our "valor, patriotism and integrity," his excellency J. B. Ray conferred on us the honorary commission of Ensign; and that had it not been that the company wasbroken up, when Mr. Gregg left it for want of a drummer, we should certainly have been promoted. "Modest Merit" is inquisitive to know "whose flag" we now sail under. Without troubling ourselves to reply, we will put him in a way to find out : If he knows "whose flag he now sails" under, then by a contrast he may easily see that oura is the genuine republican stripes and stars of '76, while his bears a near" resemblance to that adopted by the Hartford convention. We would, by the way, intimate to Modest Merit that he lies under an error of opinion, when he undertakes to represent that the persons nominated by the convention, used their influence to procure that result. Mr. Armstrong has nailed one falsehood on Modest Merit, and we can safely say, so far as we are concerned, that there is no truth in the state ment of what the editor says he knoivs about the three persons hanging to "the skirts of the delegates. Dogs, The city council of Cincinnati, has passed an ordinance of general extermination against the whole canine species within the corporation. No exemptions or privileges are extended to any, hut all bull, spaniel and messin, are doomed to the same fate. OrA meeting of the Dearborn Temperance society' will be held at the court house, on Monday evening next, at early candle light. An address will be delivered on the occasion. Catching- at Straws. The late resignation of the cabinet at Washington, has operated like exhilarating gas upon the desponding spirits of the opposition. They are at a loss which way to turn, or in what manner to vent their mirth. Hut let the poor fellows enjoy a few pleasant moments, if they can they need it. The friends of the administration may rest satisfied that there is nothing in the resignation of the cabinet that should excite the least alarm. .The members, we understand, retire in perfect friendship with the president, and will not fail in mingling again with their fellow citizens, to secure to his administration a great accession of strength ; while their places in the cabinet will be occupied by men of equal efficiency and weight of character. We have nothing certain as to who will form the new cabinet, but feel satisfied that when their names are seen, the opposition will be convinced that they have made merry for nothing. The Globe of the 20th contains the following notice and correspondence, in connexion with the resignation of the cabinet. It will appear, by the publication in our columns of to day, that the Secretary of State has tendered his resignation to the President, who has accepted it. The grounds upon which this step was taken are 60 fully and distinctly stated in the correspondence, that comment on our part i3 unnecessary. Ou the

7th the Secretary of War tendered his resignation to the President; and yesterday, the Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of the Navy handed in theirs; all of which have been accepted. From this it is inferred that a new organization of the Cabinet is to take place.

Washington, April 11th, 1831. Dear Sir: I feel it to be my duty to retire from the office to which your confidence and partiality called me. The delicacy of this step, under the circumstances in which it is taken, will, I trust be deemed an ample apology for stating more at large than might otherwise have been necessary, the reasons by which I am influenced. From the moment of taking my 6eat in your Cabinet, it has been my anxiou3 wish and zealous endeavor to prevent a premature agitation of the question of your successor; and, at all events, to discountenance, and if possible repress the disposition, at an early day manifested, to connect my name with that disturbing topic. Of the sincerity and the constancy of thi3 disposition, no one has had a better opportunity to judge than yourself. It has, however, been unavailing. Circumstances, not of my creation, and altogether beyond my control, have given to this subject a turn which cannot now be remedied, except by a self disfranchisement which even if dictated by my individual wishes, could hardly be reconcileable with propriety or self respect. Concerning the injurious effects which the circumstance of a member of the Cabinet's occupying the relation towards the country to which I have adverted, is calculated to have upon the conduct of public affairs, there cannot, I think at this time, be room for two opinions. Diversities of ulterior preference among the friends of an Administration are unavoidable; and even if the respective advocates of those thus placed in rivalship be patriotic enough to resist the temptation of creating obstacles to the advancement of him to whose elevation they are opposed, by embarrassing the branch of public service committed to his charge, they are, nevertheless, by their position exposed to the suspicion of entertaining and encouraging 6uch views: a suspicion which can seldom fail in the end, to aggravate into present alienation and hostility the prospective dillerences which first gave rise to it. Thus, under the least unfavorable consequences, individual injustice is suffered, and the administration embarrassed and weakened. Whatever may have been the course of things under the peculiar circumstances of the ealier stage of the Republic, my experience has fully satished me that, at this day, when the field of selection has become so extented, the circumstance referred to, by augmenting the motives and sources of opposition to the measures of the Executive, must unavoidably prove the cause of injury to the public service, for a counterpoise to which we may in vain look to the peculiar qual ifications of any individual; and even if I should in this be mistaken, 6till I cannot so far deceive myself as to believe for a moment that I am included in the exceptions These obstructions to the successful prosecution of public afFairs, when superadded to that opposition which is inseparable from our free institutions and which every administration must expect, present a mass to which the operations of the government should at no time be voluntarily exposed : the more especially should this be avoided at 60 eventful a period in the ailairs of the world, when our country may particularly need the utmost harmony in her councils. Such being my impressions, the path of duty is plain; and I not only submit with cheerfulness to whatever personal sacrifices may be involved in the surrender of the station I occupy; but I make it my ambition to set an example which, should it in the progress of the Government be deemed, notwithstand ing the humility of its origin, worthy of respect and observance, cannot, I think, fail to prove essentially and permanently beneficial. Allow me, Sir, to present one more view of the subject: xou have con sented to stand before your constituents for re-election. Of their decision, resting as it does upon the unbought suffrages of a free, numerous, and widely extended people, it becomes no man to speak with certainty. Judging, however, from the past, and making a reasonable allowance for the fair exercise of the intelligence and public spirit of your fellow-citizens, I cannot hesitate in adopting the beiief that the confidence, as well in your capacity for civil duties as in your civic virtues, already so spontaneously and strikingly displayed will be manifested with encreased energy, now, that all candid observers must admit their ulmost expectations to have been more than realized. If this promise, so auspicious to the best interests of our common country, be fulfilled, the concluding term of your adminictratiou will, in the absence

of any prominent cause of discord among its supporters afford a most favor able opportunity for the full accomplishment of those important public objects, in the prosecution of which I have witnessed on your part such steady vigilance and untiring ' devotion. To the unfavorable ir.fi ie nee which my continuance in your Cabinet, under existing circumstances, may exercise upon this llattering prospect, I cannot Sir, without a tolal disregard of the lights of experience, and without shutting my e) es to the obvious tendency of things for the future, be insensible. Having moreover, from a deep conviction of its importance to ihe country, been among the urgent of your advisers to yield yourself to the obvious wishes of the I'eople, and knowing the sacrifice of personal feeling which was inrolved in your acquiescence, 1 cannot reconcile it to myself to be in any degree the cause of embarrassment to you during the period which, as it certainly will be of deep interest to your country ,is moreover destined to bring to its close, your patriotic, toilsome and eventful public life. From these considerations, 1 feel it to be doubly my duty to resign a post, the retention of which is so calculated to attract assults upon your administration, to which there might otherwise be no inducement assaulis of which, whatever be their aim, the most important as well as most injurous effect is, upon those public interests which deserve and should command the support of all good citizens. This duty, I should have discharged at an earlier period, but for considerations, partly of a public, partly of a personal nature, connected with circumstances which were calculated to expose its performance then to misconstruction and misrepresentation. Having explained the motives which govern me in thus severing, and with seeming abruptness, the ctlicial ties by which we have been associated, there remains but one duty for me to perform. It is to make my profound and sincere acknowledgments for that steady support and cheering confidence which, in the discharge of my public duties, I have, under all circumstances, received at your hands; as well as for tho personal kindness at all times extended to me. Rest assured, Sir, that the success of your administration, and the happiness of your private life will ever constitute objects of the deepest solicitude with your sincere friend and obed't servant, M. VAN BUREN. The PriEsmEXT.

IVashington, April 12, 1C31. Dear sir, Your letter resigning the office of Secretary of State was received last evening. I could indeed wish that no circumstance had arisen to interrupt the relations which have, for two years, subsisted between us, and that they might have continued thro' the period during which it may be my lot to remain charged with the duties which the partiality of my countrymen has imposed upon me. But the reasons you present are so strong that, with a proper regard for them, I cannot ask you, on my own account to remain in the Cabinet. I am aware of the difficulties you have had to contend with, and of the benefits which have resulted to the affairs of your country, from your continued zeal in the arduous tasks to which you have been subjected. To eay that I deeply regret to lose you, is but feebly to express my feelings on the occasion. "When called by my country to the station which 1 occupy, it was not without a deep sense of its arduous respon sibilities, and a strong distrust of my. self, that 1 obeyed the call; but cheered by the consciousness that no other motive actuated rue, than a desire to guard her interests, and to place her upon the firm ground of those great principles which, by the wisest and purest of our patriots, have been deemed essential to her prosperity, I ventured upon the trust assigned me. 1 did this in the confident hope of finding the support of advisers, able and true; who, laying aside every thing but a desire to give new vigor to the vital principles of our Union, would look with a single eye to the best means of effecting this paramount object. In you, this hope has been realized to the utmost. In the most difficult and trying moments of mjr administration, I have always found you sincere, able and efficient anxious at all times to afford me every aid. Ii, however, from circumstances in your judgment sufficient to make it necessary, the official ties subsisting between us must be severed, I can only say that this necessity is deeply lamented by me. I part with you only because you yourself have requested me to do 60, and have sustained that request by reasons strong enough to command my assent. I can not, however, allow the separation to take place, without expressing the hope, that this retirement from public affairs is but temporary; and that if, in any other station, the government

should have occasion for services, the value of which ba3 been so sensibly felt by me, your consent will not be wanting. Of the state of things to which you advert, I can but be fully aware. I look upon it with sorrow, and regret it the more, because one of its first efforts is to disturb the harmony of my cabinet. It is however, but an instance of one of the evils to which free governments must ever be liable. The only remedy for these evils, as they arise, lies in the intelligence and public spirit of our common constituent?. They will correct them and in this there is abundant consolation, i cannot quit this subject without adding that with the best opportunities for observing and judging, I have seen in you no other desire than to move quietly on in the path of your duties, and to promote the harmonious conduct of

public affairs. If on this point you have had to encounter detraction, it is but another proof of the utter insufficiency of innocence and worth to shield from such assaults. Bo assured that the interest you express in my happiness is most heartily reciprocated that my most cordial feelingsliccompany you, and that I am, very sincerely, your friend. ANDREW JACKSON. P. S. It is understood that you are to continue in office until your succes sor is appointed . Martin Van Buren, Secretary of State. Mr. Culley 1 ask the privilege of a few lines in your paper of to-morrow. The pot-valient editor of the Slatesman has thought proper, in his paper of to-day, to assign some reason for my not being nominated as a candidate for representative, at the convention held in this place on Saturday last, accompanied with his usual portion of scurility and low abuse of myself. This I expected from his past course, and, knowing his impotency, it would be excused even a notice, were not an impression intended to be made that my name was withdrawn from the convention for fear of defeat. Nothing is farther from the fact, as many can attest that I utterly refused to run or be considered a candidate for the legis lature at the ensuing election; and of this desire I presume the members of the convention were all advised, and acted accordingly. Tho insinuation thrown out in the same paper that three of the persons nominated by the convention, procured that distinction by hanging to the skirts of the delegates, if intended to include me, I pronounce fahe and unfounded, as I was not at Mr. Hunt's on Saturday last until after the convention adjournea W.
