Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of the Committee Appointed by a Republican Meeting in the County of Hunterdon: Recommending Gen. Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, to the People of New-Jersev, as President of the United States The distinguished character of Andrew Jackson, could not fail to attract the attention of his countrymen, in deciding on the pretensions of those who are held up as candidates to till the office of President for the ensuing term of four years. His probity, honor and disinterestedness, in every private relation to society, as a citizen: His liberal education, and early acquaintance with the institutions and laws of the United States, matured by experience, and practically exercised by him in the most important civil departments of government, executive, judicial and legislative: His devoted attachment to the rights of man, and the liberties of his fellow-citizens, proved by all the public actions of a long and useful life: His uniform and constant profession and support of republican principles, such as Washington maintained: His great and splendid services in the late War, when, at the call of his country, he saved defenceless citizens, and even entire states, from savage tomahawks and British bayonets, exalting by a train of glorious victories the character of citizen-soldiers over European mercenaries, and shedding immortal lustre upon the American name, in every quarter of the world: Such high and just pretensions as these, let us repeat, could not fail to fix the attention of a great portion of the American people upon Andrew Jackson, as the successor of that excellent man who now fills the office of president of the United States. He, in fact, is nominated for that high station; and, we believe, in every state where sectional or party prejudices do not greatly prevail, or, from remote situation and other circumstances, deception could not be practised upon the people by misrepresenting his true character, he stands first in the affections and preference of his countrymen. And whilst other names, which suddenly shone forth with a factitious glare, are sinking below the horizon-that of Jackson, is steadily and rapidly gaining the summit of popular elevation. New-Jersey, felt and expressed a deep interest in this question. Having no local connection with either candidate, and actuated by no other ambition but that of promoting the honor and interests of the nation, her citizens would alone seek to fix their choice upon the man most endeared to them by his personal qualifications, and whose public services and exalted talents most deserved their gratitude and confidence. Certainly we may speak for ourselves in this small section of the state, the county of Hunterdon, that such were our feelings and motives.
