1 know tfi^t so far as Kentucky is concerned, the unjust imputations, which it is my wish to avoid, would never be raised,or rather, that a great proportion of her citizens would attribute to their proper origin the objects of my visit yet, when I reflect upon the manage intent and intrigue which are operating abroad, the magnitude of the principles

Which they are endeavoring to supplant, ami the many meaps which they can draw to their assistance from the patronage of the government, 1 feel it is no less due to myself and to principle, than to the American people, particularly so far as they have ^sanctioned my political creed, to steer clear of every conduct out ol which the idea might arise, that I was manoeuvring for my own aggrandizement. If it pe true, that the 1 administration have gone into power 'contrary to the voice of the nation, and 'are now expecting by means of this powcr, tlfus acquired, to mould the public :.:twill into an acquiesence with their authority, then is the issue fairly made out~ shall the government or the people rule? And it becomes the man whom the people shall indicate as their

V: rightful reprcpsentative in this solemn issue, so to have acquitted himself, that while he displaces those enemies of lib* erty, there will be nothing in his own example to operate again&t the strength and durability of the government fp With this candid expression of my If fellings on this subject, 1 hope you will $ recognize nothing inconsistent with the claims which ray friend* in Kentucky have upon me Were I unconnected with the present contest, you may rest .'£J: assured, that whether my presence or

ANDREW JACKSON.

FrftlA the National Journal.

Mxtract of a letter from a gentleman in V* J'ennsyfaaniat to a person in this City

Dear Sir:-—I have just risen from a second pe&ural of Gen Jackson's letter, lately published, from the Kentucky PV? Argus, and as you seem desirous to "rlkuow what I think of it, you shall have $*an offhand, yet 1 hope it will be thought •kv an impartial opioion, of that estraordm*ary document.

I do not recollect to have* seen any production of the General's pen that •. would very well sustain a criticism upon its style and arrangement but this late letter of his appears to me to have

Irfore than a usual share of defects in these respects. 1 admit, however, that private and familiar letters to friends *are not legitimate subjects of literary criticism} and if this in question be rep*ally one of that description, tl«u even ^its oncommon inaccuracy oistyle should ^perhaps pass unnoticed.

Nj If tnis be indeed a letter that was *^Uot intended by the writer to meet the "-public eye, what shall be thought of the discretion oi the person to whom it wa&

intrusted? But whether designed or not for the public, if genuine which 1 "could hope, for the credit of the general, it may prove not to be, we are come into the possession of sentiments, entertained by that distinguished individual which 1 must think, it were better for him, to have been forever buried in his own bosom. The general saysJtkwhen

I reflect upon the management and iu- .. trigue which are operating abroad, the 1 magnitude of the principles which they are endeavoring to supplant, and the many means which they cau draw it* their assistance, from the patronage ol the Government, 1 feel it is not less due to myself and to principle, than to the

American People, particularly so far an they have sanctioned my political creed to steer clear of every couduct out ol which the idea may arisa that I was maneuvering for my own aggrandixement." tip The sentiment, that a person in Gen. pi Jackson's present situation, a candidatt for the most desirable station that could %. be conferred by man, should steer cleat of every sort of conduct that might occasiou th«* slightest suspicion of ma1 anement," "intrigue," aind "rnacwuveiing," to accomplish the glorious dignit to which he aspires, is equally coirec .»- And honorable* But, what is "to be -*. r?v

^.1 tl^dldssv*

thought of the \sinetrUy of that sentiment, in which he professes to hold himself honorably aloof from all suspicion of electioneering designs, in one sentence when, with the next dash of his pen, he undertakes to decide, although, it is true, he does it hypothetically, but still arguing upon it as an assumed fact,f that the President of the United States* had come into power contrary to the voice of the people, and is now expecting, with aid of his associates, and by unworthy,means, to mould the public so as to'ret&in the power thus unlawfully acquired. And explicitly putting the question, Shall the Governmentor the People rule? Thus, in fact appealing to the People againat the Government and the Constitution, a thing wliicb I believe has not been a vowed by any distinguished person before, since the days of the French Minister Mr. Genet* I shall refrain from cerementing upon the glaring impropriety of such an appeal, especially improper from such a quaiter,—followed out in its consequences, it is pregnant with mischief, and sflbrds matter Tor serious reflection to lbe sobei and judiciojisqf all mrties.

But what strikes me with especial wonder, is, that Gen. Jackson, whoa I have hitherto been in tha habit of considering of good, strong common sense, however unfitted he may be for the great civil office to which he aspires, by the abscence of most of those qualities which make an eminent statesman—it excites surprise, I say, that the General should overlook, for a cringle moment, even in the freedom of a familiar letter, if such indeed it be, the natural infer* ence that might be drawn from senti* ment so perfectly in contrast., I say nothing now of indelicacy, to use a mild term, of a candidate for the Presidency giving, in bis own case, an opinion so decidedly contrary, and 1 may say, offensive, to a portion of the people of the United States, at least equal in number to those who advocated his own pretentions—unsupported, too, as that opinion is, by any testimony that would convict the meanest of our species of $he most petty crime, in a court of Justice. 1 overiook all this, in wonder, that GenJackson should not have perceived, ere he sealed his indiscreet letter, that, in the mind of every thinking man, he might be suspected* at least of uttering, in the sentiments of bis letter,. the feel ing* of past disappointment, and of unworthy resentment against a successful rival, whose brilliant course he envies and still hopes to eclipse, and against whom he h?s nothing to say except the hacknied and vindictive aspersions of illiberal partizans.

But, let it goj the letter if I do net greatly mistake the sober and reflecting part of our countrymen, will do the General** cause more injury than be or his friends who published it, could possibly have calculated it would render benefit. What a noble contrast does the course of Mr Adams' conduct exhibit to the People, throughout the for* mer Presidential contest, and up to the present hour. Not a single act to sully his straight forward and dighifind path, has been fixed upon him, with any thing like the semblence of proof---and on an occasions, when called to speak of (hose who in the noble race for Presidential honors, bad been his competitors, he has never failed, in a generous spirit, to render his ample due to each—and perhaps 1 mav say, especially to that one of them who now assails him with such open vituperation* 1 will only add, that if I knew noth* ing more to the disadvantage of the General, as a politician, than his letter —if it be authentic—I could never give my vote for his being our Chief Magia-
