THE JACKSON CORRESPONDENCE.
The correspondence between President
Munroe and Gen. Jackson in 1915 and II.
about which so much has been said, has been
published ,and, if the claims of the several cam
didates for the Presidency are to rest on the
exclusive party ground, on which their friends
have chosen to place them, we think this must
prove fatal to the hopes of Gen. Jackson. He
mad the independence to name distinguished
tederallst fer seat in the Cabinet. and to
urge his appointment with considerable earn
eStness, and repelied the idea of party being
made the test of a mans qualification for Of
fee. The following extracts are from his let
tiers.
g Every thing depends on the selection
iyour ministry. In every selection,
Party and Party feelings should be a.
Voided. Now is the time to extermin-
ate that monster called Party Spirit.
BY selecting characters most conspicu-
Gus tor their probity, virtue, capacity &
hFmness, without any regard to party,
you will go far to eradicate those feel
ings which on former occasions threw So
many obstacles in the way of govern
ment and perhaps have the pleasure &
honor of uniting "a people heretofore
politically divided. The Chief Magis-
trate OF great and powerful nation
should never indulge in party feelings ;
his conduct should be liberal and disin-
terested, always bearing in mind that he
acts tor the whole and not a part of the
community: BY this course you will ex-
alt the national character, and ACQUIRE
tor yourselfa name as imperishable as
monumental marble. Consult no partv
IN your choice, pursue the dictates of
that unerrlng Judgment which has. so
long and so often benefited our country.
and rendered illustrious its rulers.
