| The next argument of {. proves Gen. Jackson 10
have no taste for poetry spouting-while il
proves nothing more, unless it be his incompe-
tency as an advocate. The Nashville writer had
put INTO the mouth of Gen. Jackson a celeb, ated
quotation from Shakespeare, one that is in mouth
OF every schoolboy--
"Ihere as Il itde an he affairs Of man, &C."
Z. gravey insists that Gen. Jackson never quotes
poetry or prose either. We shall leave the qucs-
ton To be decided between them.
The next sentence will surprise those readers who
remember the contents of the Nashville letter.
[. Says-"lf Jackson. as Mr.. II. alleges, told him
he once marched a hostile army into Georgia, in
consequence of the uso!encc of Gov. Rabun, the
GENERAL stated what was not true" Now it so
happens, that IA. alleges such thug his Ian
guage is, that Gen jackson told HIN s'he was once
tempted by the inSolence of Gov. Rabun to march
Il hoStue army into Georgia" II. in his comuiuai-
cation no where alleges that Gen. jackson had
marched an army into Georgia, or that he had
sad he hdd done so and it was entirely unneces-
sa'y Tor T. to SO into statement learned length,
10 oispfove what every man, woman aud chilli on
tie continent knew not so. Did he desgnedy,
or uninteu,ionally, misstate what II. had said? If
the hrS, (Which we do not think,) he has given but
poor sample eft his candor: if the last it proves
that he had not even read the production which he
r'"hnnnccS a fabrication. Either alternative
strips his communication of all title to credit
even 1t II had possessed single specious argument
before But the fact is, il is of the very laest
attempts At reasoning which it has ever fallen TO
our duty to read expose.
We have followed the lighted path of c. with
no other view, but To show the futlty of MS attempt
IN faSity the statements of the Nashville letter.
We are still inclined (though reluctantly to be-
lieve them true; and every thing which has been
Yet written to disprove them, rather confirms our
inst Impressions. We solicitouS only, that the
public mind should be kept open to weigh the evil
dence which VIII probably be elected, and to be
decided at last by that which is the strongest. In
matter of such weight, it becomes every republi-
can to take that course which the safety of the
Republic requires. II Geu. Jackson be innocent
OF Uttering the sentiments ascribed to him. nothing
can he easier than for him to establish it, by prov
ms that he had no such inter view or by the author
OF the letter shrinking from pubic view. Small
respect as we certainly have for his Presidential
pre,enons, and prodigiously as we think his mill
taty fame has been bloatcd, we should receive
proof of his innocence with candor aud with salts
faction. But let await the result of an investi-
CATION due to him and the country; and in the
meantimc treat with the contempt they deserve
the noisy clamors of personal partizans, and
spaniel press.

tives OF the refusal are not known; but what
seems to have been the chief motive of the
DiYan for taking this resolution, is the rtjec-
ton of similar applications made by other
Powers, so that the Porte would act with
great inconsistency, if it now granted to the
United States what it refused TO Denmark and
Sweden.
The Porte shews some uneasiness at The ar
rival of the Emperor Alexander, on the
