From the Trenton True American.

From the trenton rue hmerlcan
great Jackson meeting has been held at Nash
vile, Tennessee, and committee of l8 appointed
to frame and publish an address to the people ofthe
w. States' to promote the election of that great and
honest man, Andrew Jackson, to the Presidency"
and to furnish correct Information" touching the
fitness or qualifications of 4ndrev Jackson, TO fill the
office of President Of the United States This pub
LEGATION will be looked for with great anxiety, par
cularly that part relative to g the fitness and quali-
fcations of the General for President" II is what
the public have long wanted; for his ".fhiess and
quail yfcationS" for every thing else but General,
are most unbelievingly called in question. We hope
this promised publication will be impartial one,
that it will furnish candid history of all the promi
nen transactions in the Generals life, and not hide
his faults while it eulogses his virtues. Let this
historical committee of inquisltlons into the fitness
of the General for President, give the history Of
the battle of New-Orleans, and of the Seminole
war; and set forth the skill and bravery of the Cen
era as proved in all his campaigns in the foreground
of the work (; and then by way of episodlcal evil
dence of the Generals ft,aess' for the due adj
administration of the constitution and laws of the
country, let them state the turning of the Louisiana
Legislature out of doors at the point of the bayonet
the arrest and Imprisonment of Mr. Loullliere, a
I member of that Legislature, and of Judge Hall Of
New Orleans. six weeks after the battle, and when
the enemy had withdrawn, and peace was known to
