CONTRAST OF CIVIL AND MILITARY.
In the report Of the Committee OF the senate
on the Georgia question, we have an emPhatc
lecture on the danger of having rash military
man al the helm. Surely Messrs. Benton and
Van Buren, were preparing to give the chiei-
tain the gobys. The report was written ABOUT
the time, when we suppose Mr. Van Buren, be-
gan TO feel, from the success OF The comoina-
ton, as if he could almost jump into the presi-
dental chair himself The passage 70 when
we refer, is high commentator oil the Tor
bearanee Of Mr.. Madison towards the opposi-
ton in New England during the war. Ii runs
thus
During portion Of this period, our eoun-
Try was involved in sanguinary war with one
of the most powerful nations OF Europe. In
its progress, when unlocked for calamity hlIed
the ,imorous with apprehension and reused the
patriot to redoubed exertion, spirit Of insuo-
ordination was manifested in an important por-
ton of the Union. A crisis occurred more IN
teres,ing than any other in the history OF our
confederacy, and there appeared reason 10 APP
prehend that the horrors OF civil, might DC
superadded 10 the calamities OF foreign war.
If evidence were wanting to show the profound
and intimate knowledge of the nature and ten
dency of our political system, possessed oy the
statesman who then pre- sided over the republic,
it was, at that time, strikinsly exhibited, and
ii any thing could add 10 the debt oil gratitude
which the country owes TO this Luxurious pa'ri-

TE-WASHING COMMITTEE

w I'll C-W Sou L
The supporters Of Gen. Jackson at Nashville,
held meeting on the 18th Of March, the a.
vowed object Of which was, to make provision
"to promote Tie election Of that great and honest
man, Gen. Jackson, TO The Presidency Of the United
Siaies." To effect this laudable purpose, they
resolved 10 appoint committee, to be charged
with the duty Of white-washing the Generals
character. A committee of eighteen was ac-
cordingIy appointed.
The reasons that rendered this measure ne
cessary, seem to be these:--so far, the Generals
good qualities have been taken upon trust. But
Of late disposition has been manifested 10 in
vestigate the reality Of his pretensions. His
biographer run through the first forty-fve years
Of his life in some ten or dozen pages There
are those who are impairment enough 10 inquire
how this happened! And TO infer, that il there
was much in it to commend, more space would
have been given it. Praise is SO literally be-
slowed, on the deeds o! latter days, that some
cannot but believe the meagre account Of early
life is occasioned by the fact that there was lit
tie in it that could be truly spoken Of without
censure. There is an ominous silence as TO
friendships and connexions, moral exceIencies
and virtuous examples. And there are abroad
vilIainous traditions of exploits, which, if per.
formed by sprjgs Of royalty, in Europe, might
be held up as examples Of aristocratic profliga.
cy and if by those who black boots in Ameri.
ca, might subject them to the Inconvenience Of
legal prosecution. The extravagapt puffs aud

emblazonines of virtue with which the Genera
ha. been gratuitously decorated, have at length

pace with inquiry and exposure, have appoint

eering. But we must remember that new cas-.
es call for new means. And it is plain enough
that where candidate has obtained character
10 which he is not entitled, his friends nave just
cause of apprehension, when examination is
threatened
Our readers, however must not understandus
as asserting that the committee referred to are,
in so many words, invested with the cognomen
of whi,e-washing committee. Far from it. Their
vocation, as described in their letter Of appoint
ment, is "to detect and arrest Jaisehood and
ealumny, by the publication Of truth" But we
understand what is the import of these terms in
the Jackson vocabulary. Every thing is false.
