IIE Grand Lovlge of Pennsylvania,

evidence of incapacity for the conducting

ot the multiplied and important relations of our government, on the broad and honorable principles which alone can lead us to gieatness and to glory With Gen. Jackson I have travelled the journey to fortune and to fame. I have witnessed his riss from the obscurity of a Waxhaw boy to the proud eminence of a favourite American general I have been dazzied bv t lie brilliancy of his exploits, and have rejoiced over the greatness and the glory of his victories But I have yet to learn that he possesses the fundamental qualities of the statesman and the civilian. The instability of his mind the composure," with which he can look upon lnlood and carnage" nay, the whole tenor of his life, goes to sTow that his notions of law and civil policyare at variance with the established principles and maxims of our government; as I may possihly hereafter show if tima and opportunity permit. Under those impressions I must sav. that while I admire him as a general. I should be afraid of him as a president. The long and brilliant career of Mr.

j Cr a ford, characterised, in most instan ces, b a boldness and independence ol

action, tempered by correct views of na ti-Mial jurisprudence, has marked him out, in mv iew, as a statesman of no ordinarv

merit. B it his vcent ro:meion with an association at Washington. fr the purpose of controiing the popular voice of the c.otntry. and of placing him at the brad of the government, in violation of one of the fundamental principl-s of re-

j oublican policy, and ids laic c m mission

ol official errors, point him nit as man to whom it would br dangerous to confide the destinies of the country. I have crrcful-v watched the march of M Clay, from obscurity and pov rty t fame and to cmiivMre I have seen him pm suing the Iron journey of an orphan boy, and exchanging the refinements and the comforts of a Virginia circle for the rudeness and native difficulties nf a western wild I havo oen him risirtg and

growing vith hat w iid intt a state of ma

lum' and lUincment in political l;nowf edge and greatntss, alike hor.ora!)lc to 'i'nstdf, to his adopted state, aiul to his country 1 have seen him, at the earlyage of tw. nty-two, step forward on the po itic d sage, and in the face of surrouoding d iucultics and popular prejudice, boldlv stem the current of public oninion in nj.p siticn to the alien and se

or head of department I have seen him again a nd again elected speaker of the house of rep: escntatives with more una nimity than my other man ever has been I have repeatedly seen him exert all his power.; and all his eloquence in favor of ir.tot n..i improvements; and I sincerely belijvo that it to Ida unexampled exertio is ', it tin section of country is indebted for ail the advantages ic-mliing from th? opening of the great western turnpike road: for he was one of its mobt

prominent and most indefatigable friends I have seen bi n pointing out the true policy of this country with regard to South America, and leading the wav in despite of internal fears ann foreign threats, to the recognition of the independence of that country I have ceii him enter the house of representatives of the United States wir. u ill was dismay and confushn; when tbo north and the south had almost assumed the armouand the altitude of defiance; n-hen 'he slave holding and the non slave imlding states were arrayed in bitter fivnity anti hostile phalanx against each ot!:er; when a dissolutio of the union appeared iuwt inevitabh : ;uk1 at ?;iis cri!C'; nf i.. t I have sec o his giant genius marking :o.t the course of reconciliation, ah lying ihe he irt burnings and s- ctional tteliugs of t'le belligerent parti s and leading t:.r jarring interests growing out of the Missouri question to a happy and an aod.c-.-blc r.djustmcn I hav. seen hi m at t; , eminent risk of his popularity, take a fi-mand d :ci,si vc stand i i tavor of hom--industry; aval in opposition tr the best t i Ivan's of the countrv , and the t!u eatened desertion of his warmest friends.

ma'otain that stand with a dignity of deportment, a vigor of intellect, and a depth of no!iti :ai research, highly credital.de to himself and to the station ho tills In fine, I have seen him, on all questions of national policy and political importance, fearlessly avowing his sentiments and consistently advocating them, uith a degree of openness, candor and. magnanimity which I cannot but admire. r.
