Martinsburg Gazette And Public Advertiser

Interested partisans find much in the recent Western Election to spout the fumes about. It cannot, however, be denied, even by the stoutest of those who go for General Jackson—Kitchen Cabinet & all—that, whereas the whole vote of the West in 1828 was given to Gen. Jackson, the whole of the same vote is now, in 1832, uncertain. Every State is warmly contested: in every State thousands of converts have been made: and from every State in the West, finally, we have the most encouraging signs that they will go for Clay and the Union. It is, to be sure, not as necessary for the people who have never received or expect any government 'reward,' to make quite as much noise about this, as it is for those who live upon treasury pap, in the shape of offices and Post office advertisements, to deny it, and shout, to "the top of their lungs," that Gen. Jackson is "born to command;" and that he "administers the government well for his SUBJECTS"
