11-- P«
sidential Contest.
As racing has become a fashiona
ble amusement of the day—whether
it be the racing of grooms, or of po
liticians, 1 have here undertaken to
amuse the lovers of sport with the
details of a splendid political sweep
stakes, which I recently witnessed.
It bad been announced by the stew
ards of the turf that, agreeably to
the provisions of the constitution of
the Jocky club, on a certain day a
Jocky Club Race would be run over
the United States track, free for the
entrance of any horse or gelding,
mares being excepted; said horse or
•" gelding being a native of these United
States, and aged thirty-five years or
over. The distance—once round the
turf—the course embracing the whole
twenty-four United States of Ameri
ca. The weight to be carried by the
horses, nothing more than the oblo
quy which the respective riders of
each could throw upon the nags of
the others. The entrance, Gratis.
The purse, the reward of speed and
bottom, furnished by the jocky club,
was a Liberty Cap, which invested
the successful candidate with the Pre
sidency of these United States for
the term of four years, from and as- i
ter the 4th day of March, 1825. i
The magnificence of the prize, i
produced great interest and excite- <
ment; and it was the turf <
would be crowded with the distin- i
guished racers of the continent. In
deed for a long time previous to the
r~= —oerj or inat u \p pubuc prints were
incesssant in their annunciations of
celebrated coursers, who.would be
competitors in this contest. But when
the.,day of entrance came, and the
books were closed, the following five
candidates were alone pi iced on th£
list—to wit; the Adams, the Jack
son, the Clay, the Calhoun and the
Crawford. (N. B. If is said the
L Dewitt Clinton of New-York—a
steed of no small celebrity, would
have also entered, had not some of
the Jockies of that state, last year,
■wilfully lamed him !)
But to enable the reader to enter
fully into the interest which this con
test excited, I will add a brief sketch of
the pedigree and performances of the
five nags which were entered.
The Adams is a horse of illustri
ous ancestry. He was begotten by
the celebrated John Adam who ran
with such distinguished applause .du
ring the revolutionary war: and al- (
though \m performances in the latter
part of his Jife detracted much from
that high and deserved reputation ,
tfrhidrhis early, success had acquired j
for him—having been in old age i
beaten and distanced by the pride of I
Tirg inia—that matchless courser the
Jefferson —still he was unquestiona- 1
hly a horse of no mean.prowess. The i
friends as the old Adams however at- ]
.tributed the defeat which he received I
at the hands of the Jefferson to bad
keeping : and threw the blame upon |
one of his grooms, named Hamilton ; i
btrt wh» IIV without authority, for the
Jeff? rson was evidently his superior.]
But Jockies you know are fruitful in
excuses when illfortune attends their! i
nags. The high blood of ihe Adams 1 1
Seems to have been ivoje sanguincly 1 i
relied on than either his figure or his I
previous performances : for he is an ! i
obese, stout bullocked animal, and i
his excellence in racing partakes not' i
of downright turf running, such as we i
now speak of, hut rather of the light l <
ambling of the Pegasus breed. Jt is i s
With dilhculty he can he kept in the ||
track, so much is he addicted to bolt- i i
ing, lie displayed his propensity j'
in this way in the year 1807. When i t
running against some horses he called j
the Republicans over the course call- s
nl »He Senate, he suddenly reared, I <
plunged and kicked up —threw off t
hw sider, one Otis, whom he fre
quently stamped, and forthwith dash- i
ed into a rich green clover field that <
bordered the margin of the course, t
where he has ever siqce remained,
grazing on the fiu of the land. His i
sire was also vehemently addicted to <
thii practice of hoi i i ng, r
The Adams has b«en frequently
sent to Europe by the American
Jockies; but it Is said the expenses
attending the outfits, &c. always a
mounted to more than his winnings.
He was raised in Massachusetts; or
rather he was born there, for lie was
trained in Europe, having gone to
that country when but eleven years
old, and remained there many years,
under the guidance of some royal
grooms.
The Jackson is a tall, slim horse;
i but “of mighty bone and. bold em
-1 prise.” He is moreover exceedingly
■ spirited and high mettled. In his
' own State, (Tennessee,) he has ran
• with wonderful success; never hav
ing lost a race there or else where—
-1 but itls the splendid victory which
be oitaiped over the noted British
horse the Packknham on the Or
; leans turf on the Bth of January,
i 1815, which has given him such dis
r. tinguiihed reputation. The Pack
enhain was a full blooded courser—
s akin to the invincible Wellington,
who beat the far famed Napoleon on
the field of Waterloo. The Packen
ham was expressly picked by the
British King, from amongst his whole
stud, and sent u> the Orleans turf ex
pressly to encounter an American
• horse ; y el the Jackson distanced him
' the first round. It is universally ad
mitted, even by the knowing ones of
England, thatfthe Jackson ran that
race in exceeding quick time ! The
Jackson has also beaten the Creek,
the Seminole, and the Florida, horses j
of some note j
As to the Calhoun, he is a mere j
colt—scarcely bridlewise. His for-j
mer perfornances had given him no j
reputation—and the knowing ones
were astonished at the rashness of
his keepers ri placing him in compe
tition with sjch tried speed and bot
tom.
He is, ’tis rue, a sprightly, lively
looking colt, but he has not one of
the marks or points of a first rate.—
His backers frequently indicated ai
disposition to withdraw him, and
venture theit funds on the Adams ;
but in their councils “ madness ruled
the hour,” aid he appeared upon the
course a candidate for domination.
The Cla j is an aiiy supple joined
fellow, of blight and cheerful counte
nance. He comes from the back
woods of Kentucky, where lie has
ran with such success, at county gath-l
erings, that in that state he has no
competitor. In 1814 be ran at
Ghent, where some American Hor
ses, and amongst others the Adams,
were matched Against the steeds of !
old E n gland; and success crowned •
the heels of the Americans. It is!
thought hy some that the Adams did j
not on that occasion maintain the in-]
terestsofthe whole American sports-;
men, but that h« ran only for the
Cape Cod jockies. The western j
sportsmen had liked to have lost their
all by him, and would, not for the
Clay.
The Cra wford is a tall, majestic
figure, with Wonderful bone, muscle
and sinew.—His tread firm and indi-j
cative of great strength and activity.;
He sprung from the old Virginia
stock of racers; one of the best strains
in these United States. (Vide the'
American racing calender, titles,,
Washington, Jefferson Madison and
Monroe.) —When young he was ta
ken to Georgia, and there occasion-1
ally ran a few cider races successful-!
ly, when his owners, emboldened at
his success, ventured to enter him in j
the State jocky club, where he de-i
fcated the favorite horse of Georgia,
although often opposed by that dare
devil the John Clark, a nag of some i
distinction in that quarter, who has j
lately, however, become spavined,\
splinted and stringhalted. —lt is sin-1
gular that the supporters of all the!
other nags vied in their abuse of this '
horse and of his performances.
Such are die characters of the 1
horses which paraded on the day of
trial. All of them had acquired re
putation in (heir provincial racing,
hut how they would play their parts,
when opposed to each other on the
great theatre of the national turf, was
all “doubt and darkness.” Bets
were various—and the vociferations
of praise hy the friends of the respec
tive nags were boisterous and con
stant. The shrewd Yankee was
risk his whole crop of On
ions >We Pt ! ,er with the fruits of his
in the Cod fishery, on their
favorite Adams.—Hundreds of the
sons of old Kentucky were around
the Clay , who made the “welkin
ring” with their shouts.—They said
“he was half Horse—half Aligator,
nnd tipped with the snapping Tur
tlc.”—Nay, they avowed “he was a
very Steam Rout! —a Mississippi
Sawyer!” They swore “ he was
the best horse on the turf, and that
they could out run, out jump, out
shoot, throw down or whip any man
or set of men who dared to contradict
them!”
A faint uproar of approbation was
occasionally heard from the friends
of the Calhoun, but it was “ a duine
sound” J 6
1 lie Georgians and Virginians
were loud in their plaudits—They
offered to stake piles of old. Virginia
sweet scented , and Georgia uplands
on tit* Crawford. The Yankees look
ed with a yearning eye at the hogs
head* and bales and sinned most hein
ously) in their hearts, against thatcom
mandmenl, which forbid* the covet
ing of thy neighbor** property.
The Jackson had about him tome
i staunch friends, though few in num
i her. They talked of the ever glori
, ous eighth, and swore “by the
1 deeds ha had done,” that he was “the
horse of horses!”
; The Adam had been long in train
. ing, He had been long under the care
r of two famous sporting associations,
s called the “Essex Junto,” and
, “ Hartford Convention,” whose sys
. tem of training was fashioned after
. the English plan.
i The Clay was trained chiefly in
i Kentucky, amongst the people , and
. rubbed down occasionally by the
, friend* of the South American inde
pendence and the tfississppi boat
' men '
Some Dutch waggoners in Penn
, sylvania, had the keeping of the
i Calhoun, who stuffed him with rye
. straw and wheat bran ; a sort of food
>! that merely tended to puff him up,
• without invigorating him with any
. real strength.
The Jackson might be said to be
without keepers: at least he had none
of experienced professional skill.—
His backers said he was always at
the service of the jocky club—dial
he required no keeping , and that he
was always ready if the people shduld
| think Jit to start him. No studied
preparation had therefore been nude,
! and be came upon the ground fuH
jand rough—relying on his mtive
j strength, unaided by the skill cf the
.jockies.
The Crawford was in famous
plight. He was at first managed by
some Georgia Jockies. He was
thence taken to the old dominion ,
where lie was again lodged after by
some of the old grooms of y 8 ; the
same who had trained the Jefferson,
i when he beat “t’other Adams.”—
Mordecai Noah of New-York also
“ ever and anon” took him through a
course of exercise.
The State of Maine was selected
as (he starting post. There, on the
appointed day the candidates met;
and from, thence they were to run
throughout the whole twenty-four
Stales.
I The beating of the drums announ
' ced that the hour for the riders to
mount had arrived. The rattling of
this instrument of war electrified Old
Hickory. It was to the same music?
j he ran when he triedhis speed with
• the Pnckenham. ' He pricked up his
1 ears, bowed his neck, champed his
| bit, and carried lofty, Hut tills note
I of war greatly affrighted the Adams,
i whose spirits are always startled at
“ wild war’s deadly blasts and his
friends were greatly shocked at
sounds so offensive to the feelings
of a-pedcrable and religious people.
The Editor of the National Ga
zette was selected as the rider of the
Adams, who has acquired some dis
tinction both in this country and in
; Britain, as a rider. IJis system of
political horsemanship partakes more
of the English, than of the American
mode.—And it is moreover said he
, is quite capricious in relation to his
tenets, alternately the votary of“ doc
trines fashioned to the varying JiouiV’
I He mounted his candidate for do
minion : and the richness and gaudi
ness of his dress filled the people with
I amazement. He was clothed in
1 purple ; and on his head be wore a
cap shaped like a crown ; and at
i tached to this crown, floated in the
! air two ensigns, impressed with ap
j propriate mottos. The one, how
| ever, was speedily tied up; the other
| rattled in the wind, and displayed
j this inscription, “ We are all Fede
-1 rulists—We are all Republicans /”
I —lt was, however, whispered about,
■ that this was the same flag which
the Adams carried when he ran in
Massachusetts under the fictitious
name'ol Publicola ; and it was ap
parent that the ground of the ensign
liftd been newly repainted ; that the
old inscription had been brushed out,
and this new one substituted in its
stead. I
Noah, One of the Crawford Jockies,
a keen lynx-eyed fellow, was seen to
gaze slyly, yet intently, at this an
cient banner, and hinted that vestiges
of the ancient writings were visible ;
a transcript of which being submitted
to that borrower after antiquities,
Doctor Mitchill, he produced the true
and original reading to be thus :-r
--“ Huzza, for the Alien and Sedition
Laws!” “ Standing Armies and
Direct Taxes.”—-The rider carried
in his hand a whip, made of a certain
timber called “ direct taxes,” admi
rably calculated for scourging. The
Adams carried heavy weight fastened
upon him by the opposing grooms,
consisting of huge masses of Federal
ism and Aristocracy. It was thought
those burthens would not greatly im
pede his progress in passing over the
dry sandy soil of the New England
States; but it was believed they
would cause him to stick fast in the
deep rich and loamy grounds of the
West.
He was led to the starting post by
a federalist of the Boston turf.
The Clay was mounted by'one of t
the people ; a rough hardy Keutue- t
kian, dressed in a linsy woolsy hunt- J
ing shirt fastened around him, a 1
coarse leathern belt, with deer skin
mockasons, with a “ biue and white t
cotton handkerchief’ tied round his (
head. He carried a whip, a mere \
twig, cut from the tree persuasion. — (
His bridle reins were made of the I
people’s mil. He too unfurled an i
ensign, which bore “ The Western I
States and the Mississippi /” The
only extra weight which the Clay *
carried consisted in an old dirty pack I
of cards, heretofore much used, but <
apparently long since thrown by, 1
which the Adams jockies sneakingly
thrust into the girdle of his rider.
A Western Citizen ” conducted <
die Clay to the polls who merrily
chanted as he led him up,
M» iKMiny liravr Hors* lias come out of the West,
And in all the ffrent valley this steed is the best.
A square built mynheer of Penn
sylvania, ied the' Calhoun to the
charge, who pitched up *n his back a
mere catch (the Editor of the Frank
lin Gazette) as his rider. The lit
tle groom was almost weighed down
with epaulettes, sashes, lace, buttons,
embroidery and plumes. He wore
a fierce chapeau to which was affix
ed, a golden plate, with this insrrip- (
tion, “ The Army Candidate.”— ,
’T was cruel to oppress this yearling ;
with additional weight; but an un
feeling Grawford jockey thrust into i
the knapsack of (hie rider a huge Rip
Rap Rock, which almost prostrated
the frisky racer.
The Gallant War Horse Jackson
was led to the poles—The Editor of
the Columbian Observer, officiated
as his principal attendant, though his
assistance had previously been given
to the Clay.—He was rode by the
Editor of (he Nashville Gazette, who
owing to the spirit of his steed, was
mounted without whip or spur. He
wore an old Continental three cor
nered cocked hat, with ensigns pen
dant, in which were inscribed “ Cam
den, Tahoapka, New Orleans.*’—
The Clay folks ungenerously endea
vored to fasten to his croup a heavy
southern mineral called Arbuthnot,
which however the noble animal
shook off entirely, before he started.
Next “in gallant trim” was mar
shalled at the polls the lofty Craw
ford—His undaunted air, perfect
figure, and agile tread, called forth
the plaudits of the great assemblage
—The Editor of the National Advo
cate, the famous New York keeper,
the same who last year lamed and
pecked the Clinton ; led the Craw
ford to the polls—The Editor of the
Enquirer, a lad bred in the best Vir
ginia saublcs, was seated on his back.
In his dress were blended the fash
ions of the while man and of the In
dian. On his flag glared in large Capi
tals, “STATE RIGHTS”—“E
CONOMY” “REPUBLICAN.
ISM OF NINETY-ElGHT”—and
in (he back ground a painting; a
representation of an encounter, in
which the bow of Cupid overcomes
the scalping knife of the Savage,
designed as an emblem of the new
mode of inculcating civilization by
means of the pleasant process of in
termarriages.
He carried neither scourge nor
goad.—His enemies thrust under his
saddle large bundles of mis-stated
Treasury Reports—Suppressed Do
cuments, &c. but his rider with the
slight of hocus pocus, freed himself
from these encumbrances. They at
tempted too to point out a speck of
Federalism, which they said had at
tached itself to him, but it was bediz
zened by the resplendent dapples of
Republicanism which pervaded his
whole body.
The competitors were at length
marshalled at the post. The Judges
gave the word—GO ! A hurra ! was
shouted by the multitude, and off
dashed the gallants; an empire the
prize.
They started in the State of Maine,
through which state there were two
tracts, viz. the Missouri Tract and
the Maine Tract. The Crawford
promptly selected the Missouri route,
which he steadily pursued, and at
{He onset ran far ahead of the Adams,
who lost much time in temporising,
in first trying the advantages, of one
track, and then of (he other, to catch
the more popular breeze. At length
having gotten into the current, he
spread all his canvass, and then en
sued a vigorous contest between the
Crawford and the Adams, which
however resulted in the supremacy
ofthelatter. ThroughoutNewHamp
shire the Adams continued to lead
the van. The same success continu
ed to attend him as he onwards pass
ed over. Vermont; but as they dashed
along the Green Mountains, thp old
Warriors of the Revolution shouted
zealously for Old Hickory, who made
a run at the Adams under this cheer
ing, but ineffectually. Massachusetts
was next entered, the Adams far
ahead. Here the rider of the Adams
unfurled his heretofore, concealed
banner, which displayed “ The Hart
ford Convention and the “ Univer
sal Yankee Nation /” and amongst
those people who have so long cried
“ England is the Bulwark of our
Religion,” the effect which. these
talismanic words nr duced was pro- ff
digious.' Fanurll nail resounded
with chieers. Throughout the Adams jj
led the way. [/ \\
Once however ke was suddenly »i
checked in the carter, on the plains h
of Lexington, by fie shades of those j?
whig*, whose bodes are bleaching on *
those fields. Tiny essayed to tear a
from the brow ofliis rider the traito- v
rous ensign whch he had just un- *
furled. ! J
The state of tile turf in this State [
seemed happily fitted for the success- «
ful progress ov the Adams; whilst r
the other nags trade on a soil pecu- »
liarly heavy to republican boots. 1
• No change was noticed in their *
progress through Rhode Island, but t
as they reached the confines of Coo- £
necticut, the Adams evidently flag- 1
ged, notwithstanding the vehement 8
appication Os the spur, whilst the J
others seemedto acquire new vigour, ,
At Stonington the whole J Held 1
passed the Adorns, *ho was at that J
period terribA frightened St the J
carousals of thfe people of thftt village
who were just then celebrating the .
anniversary of theid victory over '
Commodore Hardy. u The CiCntle- 1
man of Philadelphia,” whtr »ode the j
Adams was much vexed at this acci- j
dent, and declared it “ unbecoming a 1
religious and moral people to rejoice i
at their victories over their enemies.” i
The accident brought .the competitor* ]
together, audio a pretty we’l »tarledUue (
alt entered the State of New-York, Id ,
this State there was no sham riding. v|t (
was'deemed by all an important stage in ,
the contest. The struggle was vehement J
on the part of each. The Crawford led (
the way, pressed however frequently, up
to the girth, by the Adams. • In this state
the rider of the Adams douced his “ Hart
ford Convention” flag ; hut not so com
pletely as to obscure entirely a glimmer
ing of the ancient inscription, 'lire times
had changed—New-Yorli “ was herself
again,” The rider of the Adams tried,
each art to urge the dull delay of bit
beast. A volatile genious, ha had been
“ every thing by starts and nothing long.”
He rode sometimes in federal style, some
times in English style and sometimes in
the republican way, though awkwardly
enough it is true, but to no advantageous
end. The Crawford led the way ; and
this excited no astonishment in those who
were apprised that Noah had taught
Ritchie how to avail himself of all the
near cuts in that mighty stale. The
course ol the Adams in that state, was too
devious for one who had hut little lime to
?l)Hi - c. The poor Calhoun vas greatly
distressed. The Clay made a vigorous,
but unsuccessful effort. —'The Jackson
was doing well, but when lie leaped a-
Cross the great canal , his rider shouted,
“ Huzza for Dewitt Clinton !” which so
vexed the Tammanies that they threw e
very sort of rubbish and obstruction in bis
pain. New-Jersey also became the area
of a vigorous contest, and it is difficult to
say which acquired the victory. But it
is believed the Adams maintained a gene
ral superiority in thsi stale : though as
they bounded across the fields of Prince
ton and Trenton the Jackson gained the
front, and wa« the first to enter the fron
tier of Pennsylvania.', In this state the
success of each was vaious and alternate.
Much fine running wi displayed at this
stage, and a variety .of dexterous feats
wore performed by the riders; chiefly
by those of the Adapts, the Calhoun and
the Jackson—accompanied with a Bil
lingsgate altercatioi but little creditable
to the parties. But so soon as they 'en
tered the confines of Maryland the Craw
ford whipt ahead and dashed throughout
the stale acknowledged victor. Near to
Baltimore another accident hefel the A
dams. He boded at tie sight of the star
spangled banner, which floated “like
streamer long and g;*y,” triumphantly
on the ramparts of Fort Me Henry. In
Virginia, though teld hard in hand, the
Crawford ran far abend. His antagonists
could scarcely keep within sight of him.
Ha seemed to be Wafted on the wings of
the wind ;
“ and as he flew
Left all the world lie^ad."
At Richmond the A dims again flew the
track, such was the hopror at the “ Pros
pect bejore «»/” Pursuing his uncheck
ed career the Crawfotd rushed triumph
ant across the stateo/N. Carolina. On
entering the borders of S. Carolina the
progress of the Crawford was marked
with less velocity, for he was speedily o
verhauled by the Calhoun. But he did
not lamely yield to the latter, for a warul
disputation ensued, which attracted 111/e
curiosity of one Mr." Senator Smith to
such a degree that in attempting to c(6ss
the path of the Calhoun, he was shock
ingly trampled upon. Since the occur
rence, he has spoken two or three Hues to
the people, but it is believed such /a the
nature of his bruises, that he will fie ver
entirely recover from their effects. The
Calhoun prevailed in South Carolina;
but just as he had placed himself in a
jumping position, to leap across the Sa
vannah river into the Stale of Georgia,
one Gumming, a noted shooter ia that
quarter, who bad taken a sly squatting
position on the Georgia bank, firing a
huge blunderbuss, charged up to the
muzzle with Cologne water, direct into
his face, which being neither covered
with silk or oak bark, was not impervious
to the touch of this sensitive load of the
assailant, and the consequence was, that
the Calhoun twisted, wheeled and fell—
to run no more.
Over the sands of Georgia the Craw
ford bounded with the swiftness of the
Antelope; and as he passed through
Augusta, a zealot tired at him a squib,
charged with federalism, but if the con
tents even scratched him, the wound was
instantly healed by one Doctor Abbot a
noted farrier. To reach the State of
Tennessee the Indian territory bad to be
crossed, and the whitemcn who had set
tled there purely Aowever to teach the
aborigines the art of civilisation by means
of the process of matrimony , greeted him
with the*yells of victory. The parties
militant next struck the soil of Tennessee,
and then it was that the Jackson flow
like an arrow—-- ,
Shut by an archer strong."
He rushed with the impetuosity of a
