Conduct of Gen Jackson.--We advert to this
subject again, for the parpose Of mentioning that
a committee OF the u. S. Senate have added their
voice to the general testimony already given a.
gainst the conduct of Gen Jackson In the prose-
cution OF the Seminole war. The Report, how
ever, was made at so late period Of the session,
that it.. is doubtful whether it was lted on. It's
length will probably prevent its publication IN
hIspaper.
THIS REPORT discloses many facts not before
generally known which go to convlct the General
of vioiatin:, the laws, and tramplmg under 1907
the Constitution. = These facts, IN the language
Of the Philadelphia Democratic Press, $ are OF
such character as assuredly viii make change
in publick opinion, and that change will be ad-
verse to Gen. jackson. The uay Will never
come in which the nation will not De grateful to
the tiero OF fNew-orleans''-"an we trust the
day will never come when any olhcer, ciVh OF
military, shall with impunlty trample upon the
Constitution of the v. states.
1t is now, for the Iist time disclosed, that the
Tennessee volunteers, which 1T IL known were
called into service without pfertotts authority
| from the War Department, were commanded Oy
officers of Gen. Jackson's oacTl appointment, in
stead of being eficered by the state Of 1ennes-
see, as is provided by the Constltutlon-and that
| the Government had 40 knowledge OF tins TACT
antl these officers presented themselves tor pay
ment. Several OF these very officers, thus llle-
| gally appointed by the sovereign will OF Gen.
jackson, afterwards sat as members OF the Court
| Martial before whom was tried Arbuthnot and
Ambrister - nother fact now disclosed As that,
| two months after Gen. jackson had informed the
Secretary at " ar that the Seminole war was at
aa end, he issued an order, OF his own mere mo-
ton, from his Head Quarters in tennessee, di-
| recting Gen. Gaines to seize upon the spanish
tort of ot. Augustin and TO suffer nothing 70 pre-
vent him from executing the order but positive
prohibition from the Secretary OF MAR! .3feT

spectacle OF a second war against SPAN, waged

PENSIONS.

The Pension List Of the United States
is Of Formidable length; and every day
additional names are inscribed on it. We
do not mean to quarrel with this, because
we sincerely approved, when it passed,
the principle and motive of the act for
granting pensions to the survivors of the
Revolutionary War. But the humber Of
these objects Of national generosity, or, If
the reader prefers it, Of national Justice,
has far exceeded the calculations made by
the venerable father of that measure.
Gen. Bloomfield or by any Of its sup.
porters, in Congress. They calculated
the utmost extent Of the expenditure.
which the act would produce, at less than
half million. 1t has already, however.
risen 10 four times that amount : and Inc
payment of pensions of all descriptions.
Gall being for military or naval services
granted by the U. States, now demands an
expenditure Of nearly three millions Of
dollars per annum.
