The New Hampshire Gazette

And if and if.—Duff Green announces to his readers that he has "returned to his post with improved health, and well satisfied that the re-election of Gen. Jackson can and will be defeated if proper exertions be made by those who are convinced, as he is, that every consideration which binds an American citizen to his country; which should stimulate every lover of liberty to maintain our republican institutions as established by our ancestors requires it." He should have added, if they were sufficiently numerous, or if all others were to remain at home.

We may now calculate, no doubt, upon a wonderful flourish, since Duff Green has returned to his post furnished with such important information respecting the prospects of the next election. If the world be not now turned upside down it will not be for the want of exertion in Duff Green. If the election of Gen. Jackson be not defeated, it will not be for want of an abundance of false statements and shameful fabrications in the columns of the United States Telegraph. But if wishes were horses, beggars might ride; and if Duff Green could be believed, public opinion might be different from what it is. Duff is resolved, it seems, to defeat the re-election of Jackson; but we know not who he intends to support for that purpose.—Calhoun, he tells us, is not a candidate; Clay, he says, he cannot and will not support, and he has not, we believe, said that he has joined the anti-masons, and that he will support the masonic, anti-masonic candidate, Mr. Wirt. While he continues so undecided himself, it is difficult to imagine how he expects or wishes his friends to act. We suppose that he designs to defeat Jackson's election, not by bringing out a majority of votes against him in favor of some other individual; or he seems not to have selected the individual; but by some such operation as that with which our neighbor Niles proposed to put down the proposed tariff law, i. e. by means of "millions of musket bearing freemen, if he can find them."—Ball.
