GENERAL JAcKsoN.--In the Boston States
man Of Thursday, we find that our good friend,
Mr. Greene, the Editor Of that very able pub
lication, has attempted to sustain General Jack
son, by advocating his claims, on ground that
is certainly unique and novel. From the ex-
tracts that We shall make from the Article un-
der consideration, it will be seen that Mr.
Greene, undertakes to make the world believe
that the General is not a soldicr;-not a mill
tary chieitain;-that he is exceedingly gody
in all his walks, and a kind of a military saint
In the midst of his zeal, Mr. Greene appears
TO have lost little Of his usual prudence, and
1t will be seen, from the following extract, that
he distinctly avows that General Jackson
Rerer DaS q SOLDIER"
He nerer Uds u S0ldier--ncver held
commission in the army, till he was near fifty
years Of age; and he has held some of the most
important civil stations which could be confer
red upon him, as proofs Of the respect and con-
fdence of his fellow citizens. Indood, Massa-
chusetts never conferred upon John q. Adams
nor Kentucky upon Henry Clay-so many,
uHu SUN Hfpoitdh C'Nb oHlccs III tue Sldte
government, as Tennessee has conferred on
Andrew Jackson"
We were a little surprrzed, 10 find that the in
telligcnt Editor Of the print in question, should
resort to such measures to sustain falling
cause; and we assure him, that cause which
requires such props to support it, must sooner
or later fall to the ground.
We should have thought, that the friends Of
General Jackson, would have done any thing
else than deny that he is brave and sue cess
fil soldier, and We apprehend, that he would
be the last man in the world 10 surrender the
laurels he has obtained, whilst acting in the
capacity Of brave and successful "military
Cheftain." II certainly appears TO us, that
it is very bad policy in those who advocate The
protcntions of the General, to attempt TO de-
tract from his merits as a successful military
commander. His claims as gallant captain,
are all that has ever gained for him the sup
port he received at the last Presidential Elcc-
ton; and these asdo, considered as a member
Of civil life, in the name ofmercies, what claims
has he 10 the good will and confidence of the
American people!
Mr.. Greene says, that the General has dis
tinguishcd himself a. the Bari IF this be the

tC- THEATRE.-Last evening the celebra-
tea Mr. Forrest, the American tragedan made
his first appearance at our Theatre in the cha
racter of Othello, which he sustained as was
expected, with great ability. The Iago of Mr..
Wilson, did that gentleman much credit, and
before the engagement is closed, we hope the
play will be repeated
We did not leave the Theatre, till the very
moment our paper was going to press, and as
was then late, land as our space was occupied
and our time exhausted,wo were not enabled TO
prepare the remarks we intended. AT anotb-
or time, we shall speak of the performances of
these gentlemen who, if any thing can be
judged from appearances, are about TO put the
Play-going people in operation. Mrs. Hamb-
lin, has left us, and we regret to say, that her
benefit night did not call in full house; and
she is assured that she still remains great fa-
vorite with the Rhode Island public.

the whole world, have sustained, il no report
- the trial had been publishcd, through the
inability OF the reporters 10 take notes! You
an certainly most useful class Of men, for
Mary says that you run to and fro, and that
knowledge is increased" Having seen the
celebrated Mr.. v. G. Wakefield, became i'm
patient TO behold the face of the celebrated
Miss Turnes. At length, about two o'clock
IN the afternoon, her name was called. Eve
ry ego was now directed to the side door by
which she was expected to enter. She soon
entered, led by her father, and supported by
an elderly lady. She exhibited nothing like
ircpidatioa in her carriage on the contrary,
il was rem irkably free from embarrassment
Nor was her face covered with bushes, as the
faces Of young ladies generally are, when they
know that the eyes, not merely Of hundreds,
but of thousands, are intently fixed upon them.
She had, il was evident, acquired the mastery
over her feelings; and her fortitude (for so
may call it) on this memorable occasion was
the result o. judicious discipline. Miss Turner
is rather tall for her age, having only just
turned sixteen. Her face is not strikingly
handsome, but her features are good, and she
is what would call a pretty girl. Her dress
was simple, yet elegant, and the tippit which
covered her shoulders gave TO her somewhat
a
pwatches mouse, tn see ii she ever stole
glance at Edward Gibbon Wakefield; but
Notwithstanding all my vigilance, could not
detect her casting one solitary glance at the
plotter against her peace and tho peace of her
parents. His dcmcanor formed striking con-
trast to that of the young lady. He fixed his
eyes intently on her, and looked as bold as
Hector the whole time she was under examin-
alton. I could not trace on his countcnance
single emotion Of tenderness or Of love, whilst
nc gazcd on her whom he had marked for his
prey. Miss Turner'S voice is remarkably
sweet, and its tones are pleasant. She gave
her testimony with great propriety and clear
ness, and tho impression which she made up
on the minds Of her auditors was highly IA
yourable
lREMARx.- The foregoing, is an extract Of
a Letter, from gentleman who was present at
the trial Of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, charg
ed with the abduction Of Miss Turner. As il
gives vivid description of that unfortunate
"youag creature" as she has been called,
and as we have published the whole Of that
very singular transa ction, we deem it neces-
sary to give the above, iE order to connect the
chain Of evcnts.]

GGNDINNER TO Mr.. BARBoUR.-A public
dinner was given few days since at Annapolis
Maryland, TO the Hon James Barbour, Secrc-
tary Of War. When his health was drank, he
addressed the company for half an hour. The
following remarks are contained IN his ad-
dress -

like this. reference TO the party politics of the

w. Our PArER.-Sncc last Saturday, we
have had the pleasure of placing upon our list
OF patrons, fJfy-tUo names of gentlemen who
have been pleased to give us their support
For this instance of friendship and confidence,
we return to each, and all, our hearty assuran-
ces OF gratitude. Since we commenced our
seml-weekly publication, our increase, upon an
average, has been about twenty five week ;
an evidence that our labours are approved of
by an indulgent public; in return for whose
kindness, we shall make redoubled efforts to
please them.

fact, we ncyor before heard OF il, and we shall
venture to say, that there are no evidences ex-
isting Of his merits as lawyer II there be
any, let them be produced, and we will give
Mr.. Greene all tho credit he is entitled TO, as
a promulgator Of facts.
b The most laughable part Of Mr.. Greene re-
marks, will be found in the following lines,
which We have correctly extracted:
"This disfinguished man,-who received
the largest number of the votes at the last cleo
ton from the people, and whom Mr.. Clay, in
moment of des peration, insutcd by stigmatizinp
their choice as military chieftan"-was in
tended by his pious mother, and educated for
clergyman"
1t is true, according TO that very question
able work, Eaton's Biography of General Jack
son, that the General was educated by his
"pious mother, for a Clergyman;' but it is
equally true, that that education was not pro-
ductivc Of any particular benefit, SO far as piety
was cOncerned;. and We assert, without the
fear Of contradiction, that more mpous man
than Andrew Jackson, has rarely existed, and
we appeal to all who know, to say if such is
not the fact.
During the late Presidential canvass the ad-
vocates Of the General, struggled intensely to
make the world believe that the General was
exceedingly pious; was in the habit of visiting
conference meetings, and of max ING long and
fervent prayers at the throne of grace; and our
lamented tOwnsman, Paul Allen, Esq. who
was one of his ablest and most determined
supporters, with that lively fancy, for which
he was proverbial, transformed the Generals
Hermitage, into kind of demi- paradise, where
nothing bun picty entered, and little chubby
checked urcllins, were nlutured in the fear and
admonition of the gospel. This tale told well,
and was not without its effect; whilst it was
well known that General Jackson was one of
the most profane men in creation.
In the course of our short lives, it has so
happened, that we have been so situated, as
to be enabled to be attentive observers of the
department of the Military Chieftain," and
we avow, that we never met with man, who
more holds any thing like picty in open def
ance; nor did we ever behold a man, who was
more given to that most odous and repusive
OF all practices, prcfone s.Dearing than be is.
So much for his piety!
AS to the epithet, Military Cheftain,''
Mr.. Clay applied it to him, not as term of re
proach, but as credtable to him, as he was
successful military commander; one of the
most fortunate heroes ofany age, and man,
who for his heroism, deserves well of his coun-

o. GOVERNOR PIERCE OF NEw-BAMp-
SHIRE. The opposition faction in Ncv-IIamp-
sh re, headed by The famous Isaac Hill, have
for some time claimed the distinguished gem
tlcman whose name heads this article, as one
of their body; and Mr. Hill even had the un-
pEalclled impudcnce TO avow, that Governor
Pcircc in his Message TO the New-Hamp-
shire Legislature, came out, as The opposer
Of the present Administration. Nothing could
have been further from the fact than this; and
we undertake to say, that in that Message,
there was not a syllable that would Justify any
man in saying that Governor Peirce is opposed
to Mr.. Adams and his Cabinet. On the con-
trary, it is perfectly pacific, so far as politics
are concerned; though if we were 10 place any
particular construction upon it, we should say,
that it spoke in favor Of the acts Of Mr. Adams
and his Cabinet.
Isaac Hill, determined 10 carry his points at
all hazards, resorts to falschood, when truth
will not answer his purpose; and with that de-
gree of efrontery for which he is proverba,
undertakes to make the public believe that
Governor Peirce is attached 10 the faction in
New-Hampshire, of which he is the very file
leader The object Mr.. Hill has in view is
perfectly palpable; u it is TO win Governor
Peircc over to his side Of the great national
question, by display Of the most contemplate
acts of sycophancy and hypocrisy. In this he
will find himself sadly mistaken, and fiom our
personal knowledge Of the character of The Co.
vernon, we are prepared to say, that he is form
ed Of materials Of too stern kind, 10 be led
away, or won, by the duplici,y of Isaac Hill!
Four years ago, Mr.. Hill was in the practice
Of abusing General Peirce, in the most oIen-
sive and indecent manner; and in the paper
conducted by him, avowed that he was not
enable of discha rping the duties of Goyernor
To day, no man-worshipper is more servile
than Mr.. Hill, and to aid him in carrying his
plans into execution, he attempts to win man
to his party,by disgusting description Of sy CO.
phancy and hypocrisy. But in all this he will
meet with defeat; and he will find, that General
Peirce,-s not to he wheedled so easily as he
anticipates. General p. is, and always has
