for "upen and nolopus lew6ness. he'
facts have never beeuenied or even paiiia'e
by his most enthusiast friends; on the con'r

Generals prominent frnds boas'ing oil II a.
act Of galantry, and aid that the ueherai !"

1t affords US no pleasure, to give pu'hciy
the story OF the ab|ucton Of Mrs. ROBERTS, u,
Mrs Jackson, andwt should not nave re.ol"
it, had we not bee driven TO it, by the mp
dence and folly OF General Jacksohs Par,'.a
The story is no, nov TO us, we have heara !.
10
ter, il would not have been believed, even H.,
most determined opposers Of the General,
when we see il published in The town of Ma
vile, but few miles distant from the Gcner
place Of residence, and then read by him
Hermitage, and not contradicted by any c
can we doubt any longer?
The story is Hue:-it is so familiar 10 the
tizens Of Nashville, that they now think
little Of it; although there was time, when
recollection Of it, closed the doors Of reepec
BILE people, and, avenues 10 decent society
ganst Mrs Jackson, and her husband,
champion Of her gsilt.
Previous to the celebrated Battle Of Ne
Orleans, and the attainment OF that milit;
glory, which surrounds the brow Of the I'M
tary Chicftain," Mrs. Jackson, could not obi
adniltancc to the fashionable circles of Ma
vile, nor is her society at This day courled
those, who regard The alterations Of guilty '
men as criminal, or by those who value a vir
Gus reputation, as a Jewel OF inestimable val
and worthy Of the admiration and adora ton
lAe world
The whole Of the disgusting story, has l
been told by Mr.. Arnold, or if told, the d;
tints and shades which belong to it, have
been given by the painter.
Mrs. Roberts, now Mrs. Jackson. was not
duced from The bed Of her husband, by
wiles and articles of the libertine and lie
tious rake, but at the dead hour Of midnig
when the unsuspcc!ing partner OF her joys a
sorrows, pillowed his head upon her bose
and knew not of the approach of the destroy
and dreamed of nothing but connu5lal bll
she was torn from him and conveyed 10
polluted bed Of her "proud conquercr." Su
is the tale that is told in Nashville, and be
made to ring in the ears of General JACKS
when seated by the domestic fre-side at N
mi,age, and yet il never has been contradict
nor have any attempts beer made 10 wipe aw
so foul stain upon the character Of an as
rant for the presidency, and which, II fal
ought to be ranked among the vilest OF NAL
nant calumnies.-But it is true, 1t cannot
wiped away, and the hero Of ii, quietly sits
meath the load of ignominy, ii presses upon
! fame.
We delight not in the recital oil these tai
and willingly would we retire from subject
