GENERAL JACKSON

| WEI did not publish the protest of Callava
we merely referred to it and IN justice to
Gcn. Jackson. 1t is proper TO state that DIR.
Bronangh. and Mr. Breckenridge, both declare
that the statement of Col. Callava is false
Admitting all can be said against the impassion
ed tone OF this protest admitting that il is
mighty colored, and great part of it false: adj
uniting that the documents were surreptiti-
ousiy withheld, and that Gen Jackson did no
more than his duty in seizing upon them
we YET lose sight of the most important fact
NOT 10 DE denied, and we conscientiolsly think
NOT TO be defended; namely, the imprisonment
OF Callava, and the writ of Hqbeas CorD1,s IS.
sued by the competent officer, Judge Fromen-
| tin.
In the many Jealous and honest efforts TO ey-
pam and defend the conduct of Gen. jackson.
u mas been said and repeated, that he acted I'M
der me laws of Spain, and that he exercised
inc powers ola Captain General of Cuba.
L MS is utterly impossible: Florida is an in
tesra part of the United States. governed Inv
our constitution and laws, and has nothing Spa
nlsh about it; and if Congress has vested in the
person OF Gen. Jackson certain powers incom-
patIble with the provision of the constitution.
lhey are erroneous and void, and should never
be exercised by any discreet citizen. General
jackson cannot he the Governor OLA territory
.''"D''E W tilC Ciltcu DIdteS, ana AT the same
lime exercise supreme judicial powers he
cannot as Governor, seize certain papers and
immediately after attach the pc rson complain
cd oil for contempt of court and imprison him :
he cannot, by virtue of his authority from
Congress, tear up a writ of Habeas Corpiis.
and threaten TO send the Judgeto prison. Such
powers cannot be conferred under our consti-
tuition; such powers, would never be exercis-
cd by any other man.
The determined and decisive manner i'm
which Gen. Jackson acts his utter disregard
responsibility, and the fearless dashing and
daring spirit that distinguishes most of his pub
he measures, are admired by many ofour best
citizens but this admiration is injudicious. if
not dangerous. There is natural disposition
tor men IN power 10 swell and extend their
authority. In government ofIaws, this should
be checked. Every unjust and violent act
stains the character of our country. Every
lawful act, dlscrcetly exercised, should meet
with public support but let us beware how
we sanction the measures of. any public SER
want, that shock the feelings of the commune
ty, or produce regret for the past, and fears
for the future. five approve the conduct of
Gen. jackson in this affair, we authorize Others

IN the same manner, and gradually we shall
feel the strong arm of this power, while our
country loses IFS high character for u Just and

In order to accomplish the separation of Maine
from Massachusetts, it was stated that no dis
tinction should be made between the political
parties; but let any candid man examine the
appointments, and he viii be satisfied what the
result has been. Be this rs ii may, large pro-
portion of the people calling themselves repub-
iicans, are 50 disguised with the contracted views
and measures of the court policy, that they have
abandoned them, as belonging to an aristocratc-
al cabal or junto. And the Argus is using all
means to force upon the people governor, whom
they do not want, and who, no doubt, would
have been almost the last man the people would
hit Of had lie not been first nomina-
l-- me particular friends, who are either
looking for appointments under him, or expect
ing TO receive appointments in consequence OF
the vacancies that may be made BY his being
chosen governor. But we would ask the can
