FROM THE OINtlNXATI GAZETTE. ( Bi recur nr. )

the presidency Fellow Citizens, The time, has now arrived when we should seriously and deeply ponder on the great question who shall be the next Presi dent ? Heretofore it might have b 'cti pro- ; per to listen mainly to the editors of ; newspapers, many of whom are inteiligent men, if not wise politicians ; but in

I the progress ol every national discussion.

and on the pendency ot every great crisis in the afiairs of the Union, it becomes our imperious duty to enquire and think for ourselves. The nation is about to appoint an agent of various powers, manv of w hich, if well defined, are of dilTicult'exccution ; while others, such as the recommendation of new laws, and the nomination of new officers, are entirely discretionary, and at the same time cannot fail to exct much influence on our des'inies and happiness. As an important portion of the Amcri can people, it is our duty on this occasion to refer to the situation of the whole, and to give our suffrages to no candidate not -ble a likely to administer the affurs of the Union in such manner as to promote tin interests of the majority. At the same time, as we cannot p'omote the interest of the whole, without first considering the interests of all the parts; and as everv see'i-.n of the Union is competent from political knowledge to look after its own immediate concerns, it is correct & necessary for us to do so likewise. In fact, a people made up as we are, can adopt no othet p'an for their efforts at self government. Taking care then, not to sa ciifice the interests of sister sta es, but to promote them; what is the true policy for us to pursue ? On tins question no citizen Ohio, or indeed of the West, can T ap prehend entertain a doubt Vc should promote that system which will at once bind us to the elder sisters of the republic St promote our internal strength bv developing our resources. These ideas mav

be trite and common place so much the better-it proves them to have been often turned over. I wish them to become mo. verbs ; and, like manv other wise saving, blend themselves habitually with our concrsation. Believing, as I conscientiously lo, that no other system of poliev, can perpetuate the union, or promote the haoniness of the western states, I should be nron-dstent not to introduce them on this occasi m; and not meieiy to introduce them, but to insist that we should d-.vell nt m them ive ourselves up to their i fluerce, and follow as they mav lead '1 he ve.y tt itenesof my proposition in deed has this value, that it presupposes the public mind t have studied the prin riples which should guide its determinations, and renders any nevr reasonings 'n the subject unneci ssary Let us enquire then who amnng the diflercnt distinguished citizens named for the presidency, is most likelv to administer the government on these principles That Mr. Adams would not, is no unanantable supposition; for as far as that g -ntieman has yet disclosed himself it c.mnot be avered that he is a friend tointeu.a! improv ment either theoretically or practically. This would seem to be the opinion of our st uc. for considering that

so iarrrC a pvnno'tion ot ht r people are ftom NVvv Enghnd. the number -f Mr. Adam's ftiendsand admirers is small indeed. I hat Mr. Crawford would administet

the aiTaiis of the union on what Ohio and all the west must regard as thcuie principals of national poliev, is, if poSi b!e still less probable; seeing that he is in no decree pledged to the support ol such principles To argue however against the propriety of living him the vote of Ohio, would be most slipe t litmus, as every informed and candid man must admit, that of all the candidates, he is least likely to obtain her suffrages. That M?. Ca'houn has correct views of' he p-!iev winch only can rai-e this nation into n'ou 1 and permvnnt distinction there can be no doubt. Tin' if public opinion hid not abendv pronounced h'.s success at th- present time impossible, and his friends in various parts of the union had no acuaHv deserted his stard a'-d whv should Ohio pass bv a nehb r of equal merits, and of greater ..ge and noliticd ep rience, for that distant gentleman ofthc suth But wo. -Id rot General Jtrkson fulfi' every w Lb of the west and of the union? 1 will not asvPTt that he might not, but it m v be saelv asserted, that such a conclusions. mid be perfectly gratuitous. The. office uhirh the people aroabouMo fill is national and political. As a national

' politician general Jackson may be said to Enquirer. The writer first replies to he be more uknow to the citiz s of Ouio j objection, that G-n Jackson is nor josthan he is known and admired by them, j sesed of diplomatic or cabinet is viucas a military chieftain Now I call upon ti m and insists that such kn wSede is ycu, fcl ow eitizens, to say whether the no more ind1s;e!,sa:i!e than it to talent for defending a city be the same, Washington. He adds,on this suhji etas that which is required to administer ; "It is the hope ot the f.iends ol Gen. the civil government of a numerous con-' Jackson th.it one ofthc eo:w hourly of federation of states, at peace with all the his election to the Presidency i;i hL. ,he world, assiduously engaged in cultivating avoiding much cabinet qua- k tv v idi the arts of peace; and desirous, whde might be io potttd horn abioad". He is peace continues, of acquiring the sticngth a nan without guile; he s;eAand r.c s, ; and wealth and knowledge and internal Brighton," &nd it ever there was a nan improvements, that will enable them to who, in the sti lUfllir nf hit tnin.-l . .....
