Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1827-08-17
From the ChiIEchothe Gozette,

We learn from an authehlic source, that, In
The mids, of a recent elec,ioneering harrangue
in which religion and biosphemy were mos,
strangely blended, Major -, one OF General
AcKsoN's "choice spirits" IN ne'gh6orlng
county, addressed his astonished hearers in the
follow ing strain:-
81 can prove BY Mcripture--the Ma
Tor lisns-that Gen. JAckTHoN ought 10 be e.
lec,ed Prethident. DAyIo, as you all know,
was man after (sor5's own heart; and received
his appointment, directly from Heaven. We'll,
Gen kcKrHoN is az exact follower of DAVID,
and has initiated bin in the leading events Of
his life. For instance--DAvID fought duel
with GoL1aH, and killed him; so did Gen
JacXTHoN fight duel with, aud kill, Mr.. DICK
ERruoy. DAVID carried of URI,H's wife, and
married her, So did Gen. hcKTHoN with the
wife of LEWIS RoBAnps DAVID fought mum
Der of battles with the Philllstin.s and over
came them; Gen. JAcKTHoN did The same with
the Intians DAVID was engaged IN bloody
wars with rhe surrounding nations; SO VII
Gen. JAcxrHoN after he shall be elected. Tor
there is d burning Star now rising in the Eas'
which rorereIls that war and deso!ation are
nigh.-
We regret that !; is no, in orr power 20 give
the whole Of this deIcctabr speech for the spe
cia benefit Of our JACKSON fiiends in this qu.r-
ter. We trust, however, that the above eH'rdc.
will furnish them with a new supply OF reasons
for the election of the Genrr.l--thr Ota stock
having become exhausted from constant use
and hen these Shall have likewise been worn
thread bare, we may perhaps have Il III our
power 10 accommodate them with fresh as
sortment from the same mandatory.
Jackson and Burr'S Observation-Disclosures
NAV nave been Mr.. Burr's Scheme, whether ii
related exclusively IN me conquest oil Mexico
as /, now generally believed, TO the fcrclble
possession Of New-Orieans as is quite impro
babe, he had many friends and associates whose
names hitherto i'd, will at last come to The
light in the full Development OF that transac-
ton. The sternnsss Of truth and the integrity
of history will assuredIy demand that The COW
ering Shall al length be fully removed, which
shrouds TIE participation and the guilt OF some
coadiuIors in that affair yet unsupported by the
nation. It's not upon hazard, and without in-
formation from sources of unquesronahe an-
tnorIty, that We say Gen Jackson was undoubI-
edly a friend and abrttnr Of Mr. Burr In his
scheme, whatever it was, and which has Oh
,ained the appsla,ion of a Conspiracy Mr.
Burr in the progress Of that affair, was on terms
Of intimacy and correspondence with jackson
his inmate and guest, and certainty at one time
and perhaps al Others spent some weeks at his
house, rpenng his plans and directing his
movements. No doubt 100, is entertained thai
Jackson afforded important pecuniary aid In
constructing boats, and in providing munitions
Of war and of hus5andry. 1t is not with light
ness and irresponsible feelings that we make
alusion to these facts, because we obtain them
from high and indspIable sources, and we give
them toe "form and pressure" OF our unquall-
ird belief and invite all rejecting and patriotic
men, to throw the barrier of common prudence
before the wild and dangerous spread OF that
delusive and destructive military hapH which
has set the country on IRE.
