FROM THE CINCINNATI GAZETTfcf
( By request J THE PRESIDENCY No. II. Among the candidates for this office) I prefer Mr. Clay. Could Mr. Clinton have been put in nomination, or that of Mr. Calhoun been sustained, my preference might have been less exclusive; for those distinguished citizens are with Mr. Clay in their political principles. As it is, the friends of internal improvement must rest their hopes upon that gentleman, and, happily, all who have studied Iris character as a statesman, will do it with perfect confidence. The ti aits of that character are too strong, and have been too strikingly exhibited, to be misunderstood. He has been a public servant for twenty years. But few of the duties assigned him have been performed in an obscure corner of the republic, or at a. foreign court. His chief scene of action has been in the house of rcprcsenta tives, decidedly the best school for c statesman which this country affords. Among the numerous actors on that great theatre, he has long been conspicuous as an independent and enlightened patriot; a igilant sentinel of republican principles and eloquent and able ad vocat of that system of policy by which only, this nation can be rendered strong in its resistance to attacks from without or faction within From the same elevated stage he has, with the eye of a keen and impartial observer, perceived and appre ciated the wants and the interests of the various sections of the union. But it has not been in the political centre only that Mr. Clay has found opportunities for studying the character and genius of our whole people, and of becoming national in his views, . Incredible as it may seem to the citv politicians of the atlantic states, a residence in the western country is peculiarly calculated to enlarge and liberalize the mind of a statesman. In nn emigrant population like that of the vest presenting endless diversities and original combinations false and contracted views of national character could scarce-
ly be formed or cherished. Whoever
has compared the East, the Sotth, and to the Pit-sklent and to t hi-, question was the West v ith the nation, must have pcr-ffiTs answer given, and which Mr. Lowrie !

ceived how much nearer the features of
the last section approach to those of the confederacy, than the features of the two first n inhabitant of the West is, therefore, of necessity more national than one of the East or South, because the East and South have united to form the West. But this is not all. The East has its peculiar interests, which are chief! v commercial, subordinate! v manufacuiral: the South has its, which lire mainly agricultural, and agricultural 100 in a limited degree as to the number of articles: hut the West has every interest. The difficulty of importing against the current of a mighty river, or over lofty mountains, compels us to manufacture, while the high price of labour, the sparseness of our population, the want of accumulated capital, atid a deficiency of artists, will for years require us to look abroad for many indispensable articles On the other hand, the exlnostlcss forlilitv of our soil, necessarily makes us agri-
point he would make with any one of the rival candidates. Indeed it may be fear Icssly asserted, that in this indispensable qualification for the presidency he is without a rival. SEVENTY-SIX. ; f GENERAL JACK-ON'S LETTER. From the National Intelligenct r. May 7 . ' Messrs Galks & Seaton, I have addressed to General Jackson a letter on the subject of Mr. Lowric's Communication which appeared in your paper . of the 5th instant The general has re- . 1 11 I-' !
turned me an answer, anu l nave obtained from him permission to publish it With a view, therefore, to bring the matter fully before the public, 1 send you my letter, and the Generals answer, whh a request that you will insert them in the Intelligencer. Respectfully yours, T;c. G. KREMER. May, 6, 1824. Washington, May 5th, 1824. Deer General Mr. Lowrie has again made his appearance in the Intelligencer, and endeavors to prove his charge in relation to the letter said to have been written by you, to the president, and read by the presi lent to him. The president, on a former occasion, informed me he had never rear! such a letter to Mr. Lowrie; and Mr. Eindlay, who is said to have been, at the lime present, has stated to me, that no such letter wasevcr read to him. Having communicated to the editor of the Democratic Press the information I had received, I v. us lead to believe that w e would heav no more of this letter. Subsequent events, however, shew that I was mistaken. Mr. Low tic, in his publication, says, speaking oT the letter, "Why does Mr Hay adopt tin- r prcssion used in the newspaper s, a her '.'an in my letter , iz. tv.o fedeia isls and tv.o democrats:" By this, he evidently intended to convey the opinion, that i.e. Mr Lov. vic, had not made use of this

with you for withholding the contents of! any letter you ever wrote, I thcrefoic re- ! spcctfully ask you, in otder that the pub- j lie may he correctfully informed, to com- ' municatc to me whether you ever did , write such a letter or not. j Accept the assurance of n y high, con- 1

Drar Sir I have received cu: let'cr j
viituoiii, and of energetic character. Personally, I knew not col. Drayton: but, from information of his general c ii : jcter, te 1 1 satisfied he could d-morc t. corn t the feuds which unhappily prevailed in the army, than any llier man el v. om I had any know!- dge. The conum of my letter, as read o him by the picHchnt, that two distinguished fideiad-ts, and two distinguished republicans, should ho selected, was not only stated by Mr. Lowiie to me, but o yourself, ai d to Mr Eaton, of the senate, anil to others. He has changed, however, his ground, and nov says, it was a i a. comm'.nd;ttiou to the president, to foim his Cabinet "m the two grand leading parties of the country Both statements are a I i k hit nded; no such letters was ever wir.un l y me; on the contrary, my advice to t;.e president was, lh;t, in the selcch n of his cabinet, he shoul act upon puniipics like these: consider himst 11 i c head of the nation, not of a pariv; that he should have around him the be- talents the country could affoul w ith tit iegard to sectional divisions; and shoti !. in his selection, vck dtrr men t f pi : ity, virtue, capacity, atid fit mness; and. in tl: s way, he would g. far to eradicate those, feeling 5, widen, on foimcr ; casio. threw so ni3ii) obstacles in the Way of government, and he enabled, pohaps, t unite a people heretoloic po'itica ly divided I gave it as mv opini :o, at the best cvidcnct of ecvotoin to the government, its constitution, andlaus, which any could afioid, was, when P- sc were asvub d, o en'ui e toitii'nt .i i .,-tkc, and maintain them ami' fet ;. ..ti--ns, and at ;hc s.cUu e ot Uoinesiic quiet That u.iiues wctc nicic hubhl. s; a d lie who u.ulu, as col. lav! u ha.i done, abandon his fire-side and the con h i is of home and continue in th- dele .re ai d pio'cction o' liis . oun'rv, tiitou. b ho w ar, merited the confidence of the government, V. i:m bear w hat nan e .: '..-:tv he migln; suc h a man I did r. c -'utt end to Mr Monroe; he was ore I ht'i i t r seen; ye one whoc Cw.Mhn ', : --ai ; -and good qualities, tntiliecl him and etety confidence As e T the conclusion beadductd, t iat I h.V . . commended a selection e.sclusiv 'v ! -i otic or the other of the paries, the cahmet, Ironi a ip tie of p. v, should he kept equally poiseo,! v ;o ..' t ing two of each, for my acU'n e v, ,.s.
