All the respectable and TALENTED papers that arc
opposed to Gen. Jackson, are difgusIed at such
base attacks upon the toife Of poIcsl opponent.
The following, are the remarks Of Mr.. Walsh, Who
is against the election Of Gen. Jackson TO the Pre-
sidency;- Boston Statesman.
The association called he Jackson Commits
Zee Of Nashville, have published nine Or ten CO.
luinns, consisting OF a yiudicstory report and doe
umenis, concerning the charges against the former
conduct and character Of Mrs. Jackson. Ii is q
subject of much regret and shame tbst these topics
were ever Introduced into the newspapers but under
all the circumstances Of the case, seems to that
the committee have done right in collecting and
promulgs,ing the testimony which they have issn-
ed. The documents liable to criticism or ca
vii, yet in our humble opinion, they prove on the
whole, that The first husband Of MRS. Jackson
was man OF brHsl, liceniiols and jealous dsposi-
ton, by whom she NAL treated, and suspect
ed without reason; that she was much esteemed and
pilied by those who knew herr that when she
married Gen. Jackson, she and he were under The
belief that her fret husband bad ob'ained aud alb

Sr-in your paper of yesterday perceive an
article copied from the Richmond Whig, giving
an account OF duel, said 10 have been fought in
the year 1906 between Gen. Jackson and man by
the name of Charles Dickerson 1t is stated that
on The ground, " Charles DtckersOn fhretr Q,pGy
his fire, that Gen. Jackson then advanced, and
presented the pistol TO the mans head, and with
an oath bid him make concessions or die. Tha,
Dickerson refused, Jackson took down his pistol.
picked tie flint, and presented second time ith
after repeating IT several times, EnaUy shot
the wnn dead on the SPOT" This story is utterly
false with respect TO the conduct of both the par
Ties. There was duel, and the facts were these
This man Dickerson was noted dueli-t, had
Killed four or Jioe men at different times and was
'he terror OF the society IN which he lived. On
some occasion OF unusual excitement he boast
ed and made BET that he would publicly Insult
zen Jackson with IMMUNITY, but if he dared fight
thai he would kill him the first fire, and he had the
audacny and brutality t. make large bet upon it,
LIE consequence was hat an occasion was sou Int
pu'poseiy, and an uHpToyoked insult offered to the
General The latter challenged, and they fought
Inc parties fired simultaneously. Dickerson's ball
gazsd HE Generals breast, giving him a slight
Yound-Jackson'sb ball struck his antagonist, pass
ed through the heart, and he expired.
The above facts were received by the writer of
this article from most respectable and int ELI enl
gentleman, who received them from Gen. Jackson
aud Others III Tennessee, when on a visit there
about two years since. Gen. Jackson is known
to possess the highest notions OF honor and chivsl-
~, and could never be guilty of an act of deljbe-

Gen. Jackson and the Duel. TIE subioined
communication has been handed TO u.s. since our
last, by the writer, who resides in this city, and
youches for the truth of the statement go far a.
relates 10 himself.
70 THE EDITOR OF THE TI1IEs.
Sri had written contradiction of the state
ment which appeared in your paper of Wednes-
day, concerning duel which WAS fought more
than twenty years ago between Gen. Jackson and
Mr. Dickinson. But correspondent has Civ
en- true account of that affair in the Times of
this morning, omiting some particulars which pre-
sent the character of Gen. jackson in a still more
favorable light for it appears that it was not his
intention 20 kill his adversary when he wen: upon
the ground, notwithsl anding the wanton and un-
provoked insult which he had received from him
My informant was Doctor Hanson Csilett, late a
surgeon in the u. s. Army, who was the second Of
Mr.. Dickinson. The circumstances which preced
ed the duel, correctly stated by your corress

capital shot, and very quick upon the trigger,
got the first fire. His ball entered MI Jackson's
right breast and wounded him severely, but as he
did not fall Immediately, Dickinson exclaimed

then fired, snd shot his adversary through the bo-
dy. While we were on the ground, Mr. Jackson
observed TO me, a" / would have spared your
friend, gross was the outrage which be had
committed upon me, and although knew that he

after he had fired, by which was convinced that
one or the other Of " must remain on the field. If
had thrown away my fire he would have INSISTED
upon another shot" DR.. Cstleu further said
&" MIR. Jackson was right. Dickinson had deter.
mined TO kill him, aud offered bets that he would do

to apply such language to MIR. Richie. But
none other is appropriate. 1t is not the only
instance in which he has named me with a to-
raj disregard of truth, and as coarsely and in
decently as any of his co-laborers in the voca-
ton Of personal detraction.
Doe. Mr.. Richie never look in upon himself?
Once he was the organ Of high-minded and no.
norable men, sustaining the administration of
the General Government upon broad and iibe
raj principles, and disdaining the association Of
those who burthened the press with vulgar ri
baldry and abuse. Now he is the associate, as
an Editor, with the veriest grub-streef Gazet-
teers of the land. The character and standing
Of the journals that now copy from Mr.. Richie
with applause, ought to acmonish him that his
present pursuits must lead him to both profess
sional and personal degradation"

INFORMATION WANTED.

As the Nashville Committee are underst God TO
have heavy docket before them, and TO be oc-
cupied with such mass of business, that it
would be unreasonable TO expect their attention
to any ne,o subject for many months 10 come we
must take the liberty 10 enquire ct our friends
of the Nashville RepubHcan-and we are the
more emboldened to trouble them with the
question, because they have, IN one instance,
given information which they deemed impor-
tant for our Saiisfdciion-tha, which we are "a
bout to ask for the satisfaction o. The public is OF
infinitely more importance-we must take the
liberty, therefore, 10 enquire OF them, whether
il is not a fact that Gen. .Andretc Jackson has
been, for many years, an extensive dealer IN
human flesh. Not merely planter and slave
holder, (for all America knows that he is Cot
ton planter and holds many slaves,) but deal
er in, buyer and seller of, nesroes.-Has he not
been long, and extensively, engaged in buying
up droves Of negro slaves in Tennessee and
Kentucky, and sending them to Louisiana and
other Southern markets, for salsS If not ex-
,ensively, how far has he carried this traffic? If
not personally engaged init, has he not en-
ployed his capital in it, by means OF partners
and agents.? The enquiry is not made cdntoDiy;
but because we have recently received lntorma-
ton which convinces US, that such have been
the pursuits o. General Jackson; and ii is a
matter in which the people ct this Union, at this
moment, ,ciN take great interest, and about which
they have RICH, to know the truth. Hence,
an honest, candid answer is hoped Tor. Though
we were slow 10 believe, we have been con-
strained to Weld our assent to the affirmative OF
The enquiry, and if we have been misintormec,
we should be glad 10 be corrected ourselves, *
