Martinsburg Gazette And Public Advertiser

Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette, dated

New London Cross Roads. (Pa.) Aug 31

I embrace the first convenient opportunity, since my arrival in this neighborhood, of addressing you a few lines. The soil about here is not congenial to Jacksonism. Many of the plants which have been propagated have become unthriving and sickly. And as wheat, stunted and impoverished, will sometimes degenerate into cheat, so a portion of the Jacksonites, through unfriendliness of climate or season, are changing, or, as the orthodox of the party would say, are deteriorating into a different growth. The cause is certainly sinking, as far as I have observed, throughout the country. At Barnum's table, in Baltimore, I expressed surprise to find every one I conversed with, Anti. On board the steamboat I found the same state of political sentiment. The changes in Pennsylvania are considerable, but whether sufficient to effect a revolution at the polls at the Presidential election, is yet doubtful. I am of opinion that there are a majority of the voters of the state opposed to the re-election of Gen. Jackson. Some who are not very warm politicians pronounce, unhesitatingly, that Jackson will lose Pennsylvania—if so, he assuredly loses his election.
