We have, il seems, awakened the wrath :,
The Editor OF the Enquirer, by demanding ~.
sD'hority Tor certain statements touching ,ba
bres7f OPINIONS OF Gen. jackson relative 10 m.
psSefs OF the General Government, the pol;cv
Of the Tariff and OF Internal Improvement.
ItspPeared to US, that the friends of the &c
neral. were making efforts, by dark snd mys,e.
roGs nihtS IN some instances, and by broad and
open assertions IN others. to produce an impress.
SION, mai the opinions It the General on these
points were materially changed since he was in
congress, "here, ms well knowa, he gave his
decided support to the Tariff. For example:
The enquirer IN hs commentary on the Lynch.
burg Address, says, ave knO.D tina, be, Teen. ~
"hEs expressed himself opposed to tia, la,,tu
"linous construction for which Mr.. Adams,s
"Message contends"
Again, in the Enquirer ofthe 26th of Ootober
be says, Az to Constitutional principles, "We
"knowt from a letter We saw many months since.
"Hndsf Gen. J~ackson's osVn hand, sEvkR INTEND
"sD TO BE USED, that he WIS sstonished and
startled by the extsavsgant Entertainments
supported IN Mr.. Adams's first Message"
In tue Baltimore Patriot Of the 2ist Septem
Der, there is the following paragraph:
UT Was stated In the Address Of Daniel Ray
"mond, at Kiincfelter's Tavern, on Tuesday
might last, IN answer to q question put TO bin,
"'hat Gen. Jackson had informed him, that be
"wss IN favor of the Virgins construction o fthe
"eonsiitution. 1t is therefore no longer q doub.
shat Gen. ] IS opposed to the General Govern
"ment's protecting Domestic Manufactures, or
shaking Internal improvements"
To these statements we will add, that it il
within our own personal knowledge, that a let.
teS was addressed to the Nashville Committee,
many months ago, couched 10 the most respect.
iui terms, requesting the Committee 10 favour
ihe writers with information whether General
Jackson did or did not entertain the opinion,
tnat Congress possessed the constitutional pow.
er, to construct Roads and Canals, and to i'm.
pose duties for the protection of Domestic Man.
ufacturesf On the subject Of these queries q
profound silence has been observed by the
COMMITTEE. Our inference from ali this was,
tFt as tue Enquirer falsely and basely asserts.
'hat "Gen. j. IS opposed to Domestic Industry
end Internal improvements but thai seen. !
mas d'ernuned TO secure the SUPPORT of both sides,
~ p'sseIe, BY not committing himself a. all on
SHE subject"
This Is our inference, and this wa are prepar.
ed to defend. The Enquirer when pushed home
on the subject, is compelled to admit. "tbst
"Gen. J. IS IN favour OF the Tefih-Nor is there
"the slightest reason to believe that he has
"chsnged his opinion since be was in Congress. -
