General JackSon,-We selected a letter
last week from a oorthern paper, in which
1t was said, apparently from good auttori-
ty, that Gen. Jackson would not be eau.
dldaie for the next Presidency. We did
not put much confidence 10 the tale at the
time, for we were aware that the General
did not lack ambition, and he must know
that It he do not succeed at the next cleo
ton, his chance will be hopeless. The
following contradiction to that report APP
pears to proceed from one who knows, and
| as 1t Is due to Gen. jackson that d report
calculated to operate to his injury, should
be checked, We willingly give place to it..
We shall fight against the General during
fthe next campaign, but we shall do il open
! ly and fairly. We wish no bush fighting
We saw enough of that during the last
campaign to disgust w with the skulkers,
and we fear, from present indications, that
we shall shortly meet with more Of these
summer BIRDS, who will hurl their weapons
Fl ON masked batteries: We hope, howe
yer, to hear nothing of "Stabs under the
fifth rib." The following is the eontradic-
tion referred to:
To The Editors o. the National TnteHigeneer.
GESTLEMEN-IheIc is an usldiuu,
statement uow taking its tour through
sone of the newspapers, amounting to this,
that General Jackson has come to the de-
termination not to permit his name To be
Iun at the next election for President of
the United States and that bis friends
do not intend to engage in the cuntest on
his behalf.
Some of these statements seem founded
on letters purportng To be from Washing
inslon: they have made their appearance
IN diff, rent states near the same time
Their fabrication Is doubtless, the work
Of one and the same design, and near a.
KIN To that which produced the libel writ
tea by j Mr.. "lf' last winter, pretending
to relate conversations with General
Jackson, at Washington, Fennsy lvania.
The writer of this neither knows nor
seeks 10 be informed d, from whom or from
whtnt Z this purpose originated, or of the
mntls-s which have directed il, except
they are known 10 be destitute of truth Il
Justice Bot he is well acquainted with
General Jackson, and believes he perfectly
understands the intention Of his friends, Il
without hesitation, pronOunces all these
statements aud insinuations to be l0lthoM
the least foundation IN fact, or SHADOW Of
rsniiig.
As 10 Genera! Jackson, the writer knows
he is rlskin,; nothing in saying that he Will
remain true To his own maxim, "neither
to solicit nor decline the oiilce"-he has
no reason NOW to depart from it--he IS IN
capable of determining on any other
course--he abides tht will Of the Ameri-
can people, to whom his reputation aud
wees belong.
Aud 70 70 his friends, they neither have,
nor con have, any motive of policy or in
cIination, TO entertain or cUuutenance, for
a moment the idea OF his withdrawal.

MARCH.

Spring has now burst upon us, ex
citing thousand pleasing hopes, and
Scattering thousand beauties around
Us Although winter in his retreat,
sometimes rallies his broken forces, yet
his attacks are few and feeble. The
fruit trees are decked with unnumber
cd blossoms, the shrubs put forth their
fragrant flowers. and the hmsbdndman
commlis "prerious seed" TO the mel.
lowed bosom of his mother earth
How torcibly are we reminded by the
opening scenes of Spring, of the glo-
rions morning ofthe resurrection, when
"hfanty immortal shall awake from
the tomo" LIT us sow in righteous.
ness, that we may reap in everlasting
joy.

''UTthsm a friend the 1eorld is bE. sviiderness.
