Uead the following- statements atten'ivelv and impartially and then it you will prove that they are untrue, we will cheerfully acquiesce in your bet ter judgment These statements have loug since been published, and those who made this charge against Mr Adams, challenged to refute them, if in their power—But their wisdom dictated another course, and mere broad assertions constautly reiterated have been their only reply.

If intrigue had, been resorted to— if corruption did exist and influenced the representatives ot the people, in their choice of Mr Adams over gen .Jackson, his knowledge of which he declared some time alter how d.ired he step forth in the Legislative Hall of this nation, in presence of the assembled representatives of this Republic, and congratulate Mr Adamsupon his election, which had been gained by intrigue and corruption," by bargain and sale" of the peoples rights, which he as a Senator, was sworn to defend

XHK PRESIDENTIAL VOTE.

The information contained in the subjoined articles has been already tiven in the Intelligencer in greater detail, but its repetition in a more Condensed form may serve to dispel misapprehension from the minds ol some readers who may yet honestly entertain erroneous opinions on the subjcct. ,/

From the Virginia Free Press.

TRUISMS There i9 much prating among the Jackson Editors and politicians', about the "People's Candidate," disregard of popular will, &c aad, as an illustration, they point to Jackson 9J blcctors. It may be well to ke°p in mind the manner in which at least SO of these electors were obtained for the Hero and we shall then know how to estimate the candor and fairness of these brawlers.

In New Jersey, by a coalition," (yes gentlemen, we use your own favorite phrase,) of the Crawford and Jackson men, the eight electors of that State were giver, to gen. Jackson. (I he Congressional Llection has since proved a majority tor the Administration.)

In Maryland, Mr. Adams had 14,682 votes of the People, and general Jackson 14,523 and yet, owing to an unequal division of the districts,

en. J. obtained seven electors, while Mr. Adams had but three. In North Carolina, the votes stood thus ...... ,3

And we haven true "oppression of the popular imU.—^nu, yve to the doctrine of pluralities nil its force, as contended for by the Jacksouites, and Mr. Adams was fairly entitled to the office. j.

n.Lrc Why is if, that in all the declamations which we. hear about ab nuLmeut of iutybij Heprc^nlativc," who voted dilferently Irom the electors. Mt a iml of centre has oeen passed upon the members from N, rCarolina And

yet,

to the wishes of iiis constitueals. and the citizens of bis state, and barter ed away their rights, in disobeyinp the dictation of the legislature oi Kentucky, why have the citizens oi his immediate district elected his i. vowed friend, and open advocate ol the very measure so loudly complained of by the enemies of our chief magistrate Aud why have tue citi zens of that state called Mr. Met calf, (who voted with Mr Clay, and has openly justified the measure, ever since it was adopted) to thfc Gubernatorial chair

And why have the constituents of ail the other western members, who have been charged with having been bought by Mr Adams, aod who acted ia concert with Mr. Clay, again made choice of these same representatives

Fellow-Citizens, let us rend, counel calmly together- throw all prejudices asidt, tube justice as our guide, and thp welfare of our country as the sole object to be attained, and then decide according to the .dictate* of reason. It is the cause of our beloved country upon which we arc called to id

And it should be with the utmost caution and from the best and greatest of causes that our actions should be such as in any manner to impair our CONSTITUTION.

For Mr. Crawtord, 15,3yt» Gen. Jackson, 13.771 Mr Adams, 6,346

And yet, although Mr. Crawford was entitled to the vote of the State, sen. Jackson's friends, by a coalition" with those of Mr. Adams, ob tained the 15 electoral votes ol North Carolina. •.

I,. Louisiana, whose legislature appoints the electors, gen. Jargon Viend. procured a coalition" with those ot Mr. Adams and, although Mr ('iav had a larger number of friends in that body than either ol the other cUdidaks, this coalition," (and you all know how the Jacksonitea hale coalitions.) gave en Jackson 3 electors, and Mr. Adams 2 whereas, according to their own notions about pluralities, Mr. Clay should \ave had the votes ol Louisiana.

In Illinois, Mr. Adams obtained 1511 votes of the People, and general Jackson 1272 5 and yet the General obtained two electors, aud Mr. Ar!ans bu^ une. ., llow will these perversions of the public will be excused by t^e immaculate leaders of the Jackson party According to their own ideas, the Llecforal vote ought to have stood differentlyr-let us adjustTj4lances, and set the matter right.
