Republican Herald

In their furious zeal, they seem alike to forget the past, And to misrepresent facts. They appear to suppose that because Mr. Adams' administration was overthrown, Gen. Jackson's can be, with the like certainty. Have they forgotten that Mr. Adams received but 84, less by one third of the whole number of votes, that when he entered into office he possessed the confidence of only a small minority of the nation--and that such was the unfortunate course of his administration, (to use the mildest terms, ) that he was every day losing, when nothing but rapid increase of public confidence could possibly have sustained him. It cannot be surprising that such an administration was overthrown, even putting the "bargain" wholly out of the case ; and it can never be regarded as an example favouring the instability of our government.

Have they, on the other hand, forgotten that Gen. Jackson received 178 votes out of 261--more than two-thirds of the whole, and' that Messrs. Adams and Clay, united, but 83 ? It would seem that nothing short of a desperation and presumption bordering on insanity, could attempt to subvert an administration thus strongly based on popular favor, unless its measures had been extremely rash and unwise, or at least unfortunate and disastrous, so as to have occasioned a visible and rapid declension of public confidence. But instead of this, no administration was ever more successful in its measures, as regards both the external and internal interests of the Union ; and instead of losing any portion of the public confidence, its popularity has been constantly and rapidly increasing. Whilst the administration has not lost ground, in a single State, (for Ohio, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Maryland, to say the least, are as favorable as they were in 1828) it has gained New-Jersey, and New-Hampshire, and seven out of nine votes in Maine, to which may be added sixteen votes in New-York, (which now votes by general ticket,) making thirty-nine votes gained to the administration, and leaving to the national Republicans but 45.
