An Opposition paper says 1t must be We y
gratifying to the friends of General Jackson, to pei
ceiye the firm and decisive manner in which good
old Virginia gives her support to him." In order
that the editor OF this paper may know little more
Of the manner in which Virginia supports his cand-
date, we will inform him that the FIRST step has been
taken towards the assembling of Convention in
that State, for the purpose of showing the citizens
Of the Union, that the Of the people will only
be expressed in an Administration ticket. There is
a powerful and growing sentiment ia Virginia, ia
vorabie to the reelection of Mr.. Adams whose po-
Icy has given general satisfaction, Notwithstanding
the clamor of those who speak through the columns
of the Richmond Enquirer. All the dscordances
which have existed in the public opinion of Virginia,
are fast settling down into an harmonious con-
victon that it would be folly to change President
and Administration whose course is we'll known and
approved, for one whose doubtful and conflicting
opinions, Judging from the conduct of his friends,
have left all parties in perpeyity to his princ-
plies and feelings, and whose morals and intelligence


nave come out of the fire to which they have been
necessarily subjected, without any increase Of pu-
rity or brightness.


We can tell the author of the paragraph with


which we commenced this article, on the authority
| OF a Jacksonlan who has just visited the counties oi


Frederick, Hardy and Hampshire, in Virginia that


he had very great difficulty to find any one to adyo-


cate the claims Of the General, so perfectly had


public opinion in those counties settled down in fa-
vor of the present Administration. To doubt that


what we have stated in this paragraph will be VIC.
lently denied and that shall be honored with 6
few coarse epthets for giving circulation TO the
facts would betray great ignorance of those
against whom we have to contend The han


gers-on at the Offices Of the jackson papers, are
+ as numerous and as public as the loterers who


lounge about Westminster Hall with straws in theil
hats, signltying that they are TO be purchased b,


such as have need of persons to according tc


their lesson. But the truth of our statements can
not be overthrow by such testimony. There il
not well informed 4 impartial Virglnian, who will
not sustain us. We will not pretend to give de
clded opinion as to the result Of the electoral vot
J, in Virginia, because We have not sufficient mate
+ rials for the formation of such: hut it require


nothing more than the ordinary use Of our faculties


to understand the direction to which the public sen
ment is tending and to conclude that this tendcn
. cy premises that result which we hope and believ
I twill produce.
