Whoever has been in the practice of reading the
maniestos Of the Opposition, whether In the shape
of letters, speeches, editorial remarks, must have
noticed the repeated references made to the con-
trolling influence of the people over their public
servants, whether in high Executive offices, or IN
the National or State Legislatures. Every one will
recoect the abuse lavished on Mr.. Clay, on the
bare resumpion-conciusively put down by the
majority given to Judge Clarke, his successor-that
he in giving his vote for Mr. Adams, went against
the opinions Of his District. Most of have seen
the address of some of the friends of Gen. Jack
son in Pennsylvania. requesting Mr.. Marks. one
of the United States Senators from that State, to
resign his situation, because he will not go with that
party and they, therefore, regard him as violating
his constitutional obligations. 1t is evident, then,
that the Jackson party hold the opinion that sena-
tors in Congress ought to resign their situations, ra-
ther than give their votes and influence In oppose
ton to the feelings and wishes Of their several
States.


| The result in the elections in Delaware, must
have satisfied every that this State IS decidedly
| in favour of the measures Of the present Admins
tration, and the reelection of Mr.. Adams. The
question has been distinctly put to them, at the
polls-. Will you elect Representative to Con-
nress who will bindly follow the steps of those who
oppose the Administration and support Gen. jack
son or will you choose one who will take the oppo-
site course. supporting the Administration and op-
posing General Jackson ?" Their answer IS ex-
pilici and decided. They have declared their con-
fdence in the Administration, and their want Ut
confidence in Gen. Jackson.


Now what is the obvious course for the two Sena-
TORS from Delaware to pursue, according, not to he


theory only, but to the practice OF the jackson par
/ ty hey must support the Administration il the,


represent the feelings and wishes Of the State if


not. ought not they ALSO according TO the doctrines
Of the Opposition, to be called on to resign and to
make loom for such as will be the faithful organs Of


public opinion in Delaware?
