MARI the Hero's prospect in Pennsylvania, as n
doubt about The rois ofihai stGte might hare q Sc
rious effect against hin, throughout the United
STATES" OF all the votes claimed above,
there is not remote probability that Jackson
will get single one.
"A mad-cap Jackson paper, printed in Phiia-
delohia under the title of the fmericGn Sentinel,
remarks with more truth, ,han is generally
found in its columns, that The old Hero's
address is JUST SUCH A PAPER AS MIGHT BIZ ES-
PEcTEp FROM HIS PEN" SO we say; and SO saws
every body who was prepared to expect com
pound Of nonsense, absurdity and hypocritlcal
cant.
Harris's Leltsr.-Truth is often developed by
means so slow, that il comes too late TO aid the
innocen, or punish the guilty; hu, such, we
trust, will not be the case of the surviving de-
sccDdanIs Of poor Harris and his companions,
nor Of the heartlcss tyrant who murdered their
gallant fathers, a.d sought 10 escape from
pressing odiuul, by slandering his victims.-

how you may; and we have Inc promise OF a
great Hero that it "SlIALL" prevail. The
same Hero has now opportunity Of exeout-
ing the only laudable threat that, perhaps, he
ever made The following article from the
Democratic Press of Thursday, will fully ex-
plain our meaning
We have now before us copy of the ''Nashvilie
Gazette, dated October 70, 1924" Iii wholly Occur
pied with defence of Gen. Jackson against pam
phet which had Just before been published by lessee
Benton one Of the persons on whom the General and
his body guard had made numerous assault In this
defence the case Of the 'six militia men," is taken
up, and, to be expected, grossly msrepresent-
cd Our present object, however, is only to notice
one of the facts whih has cundits way into this oh'
csl defence; it states that s4he Preacher John Harris,
Sapho pas the 3eaG.r ,crote the Genera! letter, &C
'knowledgins that he deserved his fate, and did not
"expect to be pardoned"
The fact then that Harris nIo UNDER sESTENcE
Of DEATH, write letter Gen. Jackson is thus vouch
ell for. by the friends of the General if not b. himse
the defence is very much in his style of writing That
letter is still in the possession of Gen Jackson Ifthe
letter of Harris which we have published, be not acor
rect COPY of that which was received BY Gen. Jack
son, why does he not publish an authenticated copy Of
i
to give such copy, the public have right to pre-
sumo, and viii presume, that the copy We have pub
Eshed is correct
Fwhat we have published is not an eraei copy, lei
US have one authenticated from the original, now In
possession of General Andrew Jackson, to whom n
was addressed. Let us hear no more OF forgery, Il
those who have the original letter persist in keeping
:, secret and in refusing to give copy Htnere be
