The Hero of Mezp. .Orlean


scans from the outragcs Of an army, whose
fapacicus scd Iusifpl propensities had been
excited by the watchword Of 3" Beauty and
5oosy," has been violently assailcd by his
enemies, both in and out Of Congress. A
cslcbraied writer has observed, that {" many
enemies is 90 less proof Of merit, than many
fdcnds s" and |" That fui, is bes, and swcetest,
ut which the birds most fFequentIy peck"
These axioms are completely exemplihed ia
the present instance. The United States
nrc under more obligations TO GeneraI JACK
SON, thaD to any other military man the
eouCsry ever pfoduced, with. the single ex.
ccption of WASHINGTON himself. No
wonder, thereiore, ihatshe has hosts of ene-
mics The British cabinet are his enemies
---theIr Faction In this county are his sns-
mies--and every man hostile 10 the prosper
ity and growing importance of this great Re.
pubic will be his decided enemy. On the
other hand, every genuine friend to the coun.
uy--sveiy citizen who feels for it's honor,
and the honos Of the fair portion of its inhabi.
tants, will be the a m and unal,crabIe friend
OF Gen, Jackson. TEE President OF TIE
CEIrED STATES, aud tho SECRETARY or
STATE, the able and iliustrisus functioaaries
10 whom free people have entrusted their
uestinias, arc his warm fricnds. Let our
fair countrywomcn reflect upon the enormi-
fics Of the British a, Hampton, in Virginia,
snd Havre-de- Grace, 10 Maryland, and thon
ask Themselves IL shey, too, do not feel friend
ly toward the IT. ~ VINO has preserved thous
Snds of their sex from similar brutal and hor-
rioIe violations. Let them further reject
cpon his successful ie minaiion Of the Indian
@aTs, and his prcscr vation OF myrisds of IN
Jants, whose brains might otherwise have
been dashed out agans, rocks or stumps,
We repeat, that Qsn. Jackson has hosts Of
friends--wal a., sincare and powerful. What,
then, aus he to fear We an nswer, nothing,
The efforts now making to huf him down,
will recoi upon ,heir inventors, and he will
rice, in proportion to the cxeftioss which arc
ins Q to destroy him.
We learn by he western papers, tbs, Gen.
cral Jackson 10 ou his way TO tie seat of gov
crnmsnl, whcrc ne will confront bis aceosers,
"cye o eye" Let them beware Of the es.
gle glance of this abused and prosecuted vo,.
sran they will wither under IL.
FN The subjoined articles, one on extract Of
i-tter from ashington, tho other tie pro.
ceedngs Of the Tsmmany Society of New-
York, are evidences OF thar sentiment OF ad.
nj Ditation and gratuude' which will eventually
Il
jackson in that high and CON nsddng posi-
zion to which his merits so richly entiiie him.
Rxfrsct Of a hfssr from Wash,rgsou Of re.
a renf 6ase, 80 fhe Asisor of the Franklin Ga
xene.
As I predic,ed in my last letter, tho Fed.
sfaiists have began their grand attack upon
ihe administration, IN the House Of Repre-.
acntasivcs, by at empting the sacrifice OF Cen
arsl Jsckspn.
The gallant old General, 90 far as can find
out, has been guilty Of q vast number OF ofieN-
css agains, The Constitution. In, the 6rst
place, ne obtained signal victory st New.
Orleans, that bafled in the comparison, even
The fabied wonders Of Poietiers & Agincourt : |
and In so doing, saved millions of property,
Besides gsiniag to tho nation glory, ior
which hundreds of millions is no equivalent. /
II the second place, ne has once, thrice de-
the internal combinations OF savages /
Gnd reneg adoc s.. collected to- the purpose OF
women and children on the tron.
uiers And in the last place, he has inflicted |
, mc morsble punishment on two wreschcs |
who had vounta lily thrown themselves out |
20 pale Of civilized society, aud shown |
The mi selves unworthy its projection, by vio'
astsug all human laws. In 60 doing, the gen |
eval did bic duty to his country men, not only |
bF puuishing crimes already csmmiued, but
likewise holding up an example that will In
~ probsbiii,y prevent their recurrence.
Dut shis as might be expected, has called
eorsh. the animsdversion Of oil those eooscien- |
sious politicians, whs uniformly sickened st
the successes Of their country, du'ing the
lsss var, and who have never ssssed to per-
nseu,e Ia ono WY or anothers every man who
did his duty In that noble Struggle. Their
eopduct on this occasion Is Of piece with
Uniform opposition 20 every astempi to
AN the honor Of tho county, or maintain
Iest1sR with their sermons, their canting,
1>,is.1s !. hypocrisy, about uojas,ihsbie and
\ g. ~ Z sl wsrs--wi,h their attempts to pro-
ythe militia from doing their duty; and |
0ksIr refusal TO symrathiso in those tsumps
ahss shrialed 10 the kssfts OF every other
1Aneriesn.
