Constitutional Whig

Political Movements.—The Jackson Meeting in Charleston, has been promptly met by one of the friends of the Administration—if we may judge from the language of the Newspapers, more numerous than its rival.

Thus more than two years before the election, the spirit of faction has applied the torch to the social edifice. If the country is henceforward filled with distraction—if the public councils are convulsed with the rage of party—if the honour and prosperity of the Union are sacrificed to individual aggrandizement—if discord rears her hateful front in society, arming relation against relation and alienating friend from friend—let the people remember to whom they are indebted for the curse. Let them remember that the friends of Gen. Jackson, many of whom, eighteen months ago, declared him the most dangerous man in the country, have thus early and unnecessarily plunged that country into the distractions of a political contest, involving in fact no principle, and commenced for the sole purpose of raising themselves through him, to office.

We do not speak in the spirit of deprecation, further than the harmony and quiet of society are concerned. For ourselves, we should have been happy to postpone the contest as long as possible—for our own sake, and the Country's—but if the war is now to be begun, we are ready to draw the sword, and throw away the scabbard. Viewing the election of General Jackson, with unfeigned horror—seeing that all the Republics on earth, have been destroyed by military men—believing that if once in power, he never will resign it but with his breath—we dedicate both soul and body, to the attempt to convince and implore the American people not to make him President of the U. States. To this end, we are ready to sacrifice with pleasure, all other political predilections, and to support that man, whoever he be, presenting the best prospect of defeating his election. We have heard much of late, of a crisis—but if there be truth in History—if it be true, that the same cause will always produce the same effect—a crisis is indeed approaching. involving no less than the question, shall these States continue under a Republican form of Government.

Louisiana.—Messrs. Livingston, Brent and Gurley, have been re-elected to the 20th Congress from Louisiana.

They are all friends of the Administration.

Every nerve was strained to defeat their election.

Their success is decisive of the voice of Louisiana.

We hear that one of the Tennessee Districts, will probably elect an anti-Jacksonian—now represented by one of another stamp.
