Buchanan’s statement had a most ijuiethng effect on certain noisy declaim- „ rS tvlio were eternally ringing the same liscordarrt notes in the ears of the public. j t was as if an Eagle had sailed across the frroVf) where every feathered babbler had been straining his throat. All became si- ieut. But his broad shadow has passed over, and the noisy chatterers of the grove have dismissed their fears ; and hopping from bough and bough with all the spright- dness of relieved cowards, begin to sing again the old sone as loud as ever—“Ding bong bell, the cat’s in the well.” The enemies of the administration have had time to rally their dispersed spirits; and thouah they still look with streaming eyes at Buchanan’s statement, they find, they say, it was not such a terrible “buga booas they had imagined. It is a most excellent thing—it contains every thing that we could wish—it bears out the'old General, in every thing he said—there is no contradiction in it—it is a most trium phant confirmation of the charge of a cor rupt proposition from Mr. Clay and his friends to make General Jackson “ Pre sident in an hour,” if he would only leave room for Kentucky. This may all appear so ; but when a fellow’s eyes are running ,vater, lie sees, “asthrough a glass, dim ly,” What may be the cause of this dim ness of vision, we would not venture to tosay positively ; but it is a certain fact, hat colils have been very prevalent here ■itely, and they produce, all know, watc- u/ ryoes. Our pipes, thank God, have been kept pretty clear by constant hem ming and clearing our throat ; but it has not been the case with manv of our friends. We have been prescribing for several, lately, and find that they are all aware of tluytuuse of their illness; for on enquiry they have stated without hesitation, that they “ cocht cold when Buchanan kicked off the fewer.” —&OP)— It has been constantly said Mr. Clav made Mr. Adams President of the United States. Suppose it so, what then? Would the friends of General Jackson or Mr. Crawford have declined making their dis tinguished leaders, President, if it had been in their power ? From theclamo 1 kept up by General Jackson’s friends, uecause he was not elected, we cannot doubt what they would have done, if the election bad lain within their controul.— Indeed all this Buchanan business had this for its object. And did the friends of Mr. Crawford use no,exertions? Did they leave any thing undone to carry their point to the last moment of the contest, and that too, when they' had the most in dubitable evidence, that bodily debility, perfectly incapacitated him for the duties of the office ? Did they not stick to their chief in a hopeless minority, after it was “ manifest” to use the language of the opposition, “ that it was the wish of the great body of the people that Gene ral Jackson should be President?”— With what propriety they can accuse die friends of Mr., Adams, for promoting his election, they may settle among themselves. -It is. however, not more re markable than their present devotion to General Jackson. We have something in store for our, “ republican” acquaintan ces on this subject, rathstronger than the «magnesidn doses'' which our Sa vannah friend says we Jave been adminis tering to the Jacksonitfs in Georgia. He would do well to look to the files of the ^REPUBLICANS an burn them if he can lay his hands o/them. The public has not forgotten, jhe has, the abuse which that print, ofjl others in the State, lias heaped on the I ro of Orleans. We We have been amusing ourselves with the following calculation, ? which has this advantage of those which we see in the papers and some private hands on the nex t P residential Election—it is bottomed on what is past and known. We believed, long before Mr. Buchanan gave his testi mony, in the falsehood of the alleged proposition to Gen. Jackson by Mr. Clay and his friends, that “ if he would leave room for Kentucky, they would make him President in an hour;” and not the least reason for this opinion was founded in our belief that it was not in their power. Suppose it had been constitutional for the four candidates to have been returned to the House of Representatives, the vote by State^ would have stood thus: For Adams 8 Jackson 7 Clay fj Crawford 4 24 will not administei ». when his “ sicknes magnes ia” to him, has reached a crisis. lie shall have “U dr emetic What ever may ha,ve b a our deli nquences, and however we i \f differ wit h many of our esteemed frit sod the Presidential question, neither end nor foe can say, that tve ever pern a solitary word disre spectful to Gend Jaeksop. Our objec tions to his eleva t are scarcely objec tions at,all. Hit mpetkor has only, in «vr opinion, thos ual ■ which we Mr. Clay is said to have influenced the Representatives of five States. This influence exerted for Mr. Adams settidd the contest on the first ballot, 8 and 5— 13, a majority. If they had voted for Gen, .Jackson, there would have been no election, 7 and 5—12, less than a majori ty of the whole. In the event of a se cond, third or fourth ballot, it is clear, as Mr. Crawford’s friends to a man pre ferred, (dot in Georgia alone, but through the Union generally,) Mr. Adams before Gen. Jackson, if Mr. Clay’s five had re mained firm to Gen. Jackson, and Mr. Crawford’s four been given to Mr. Adams, (as we have every reason to believe) there would have been a tie, 12 for each. The two leading opponents now stand equal. How stauds thje probability, not to say certainty, of their subsequent votes? We have already stated, that however different it may be now, Mr. Crawford’s friends at that time preferred Mr. Adams, and no doubt would have voted for him. And with respect to those said to have been influenced by Mr. .Clay, they must have been disposed from the first, to vote for Mr. Adams, "otherwise neither Mr. Clay’s influence nor that of any other person would have been sufficient to have over come the fidelity which they owed them selves and their country. Their charac ters forbid the idea. The last, stage of our calculation left them ranged on the side of Gen. Jackson, we ask emphatical ly every candid' and impartial observer, is it probable that they would have re mained attached to that side in subse quent ballotings ? Their previous opin ions, their votes at the time of the election, and with but one exception, their subse quent attachments, all plainly assert the contrary. How could Mr. Clav, then, have made Gen. Jackson President?— Mr. Adams would have been President in spite of Mr. Clay, with all the boasted influence which his enemies now willingly allow him, because it suits their purpose. BARBACUE,ANECDOTE. : .1 attended the Bar- rday, in honor of our wor- fell into conversation witfi Inin,, and can- ot refrain mentioning an incident which ch tew out of it. Our chat turned upon the ‘residential Election, in the course of ich he observed, in substance, that when he reflected upon the opposition to the present Administration, and the ex traordinary. combination that had under taken to bring it into disrepute, it was a source of great grief and mortification to him. I replied, that the combination was extraordinary and the opposition relent less; but that I had a consolation left:— It was an old maxim of mine, that though falsehood and error might predominate for a time, yet truth would finally prevail. A person standing hard by, mistaking my remark, stepped up to me, aud looking sternly, and I thought angrily, demanded, “ Did you say, sir, that Troup would fi nally prevail?” I quickly explained my observation; when, instead of a black eye, I received a hearty shake of the hand. If the above is admissible, I should like for it to be published for the information of those who go iuto the upper section of this county, Q.
