90 ''''' 49, RICHARD A. BUCKNER.
The Knoxville (Ten.) Enquirer, a paper which
advocates Gen. Jackson, attempts to account tor
the declining popularity of General Jackson IN hls
own state on the ground that he has been injured
| by the character and conduct OF his irlends anu
followers. Let the Enquirer speak Tor itself
! There is a numerous train Oi hungry asplrants
after office in the Knoxville, we'll as in other dis
tricts. who, having little merit Of their own, take
shelter under that of Gen. Jackson So far was
this course pursued by some, that they would sup
port man for office, how remote soever 1t might
| be from the Presidential question, who would not
come out in their openmouthed way for Gen. Jack
ton. 1t was stated in Knoxville, during the late
canvass, that man would not be supported Tor the
cor,sfabies place, who would not thus act. This
over-heated and misguided zeal produced, as might
have been looked for, reaction in public sentiment,
which seemed likely to prove fatal to the cause Of
Gen Jackson. throughout the second congressional
district. Many moderate and dispassiOnae persons
G declared. that they never would vote fr mar
whose principal claims to office, his friendship
for distinguished individual. Hence the strength
of Thos. ID. Arnold. The people, in many places
rallied around him, merely because they believed
; he had independence enough as they called 1t, t.
e stand upon his own foundation. Here we hav'
another proof of the fatal effects of the ntemperat
. zeal of those who consider themselves the on
il friends of Gen. Jackson And we fear that if it
,s pursued much longer, it will be more serious
al We could not have desired more complete col
/, roboration of the views we threw out in pape
n of Friday last, than is contained in this articl
al from the Tennessee paper. We agree with the ed
IN tor of the Enquirer that Incorporate zeal and njl
70 dcious friends (witness the editor Of the TELEGRAPH
70 hin, of the Enquirer. SC have done, and are dor
hi Gen. jackson considerable injury but the seyere
p. wounds which his cause has received, are thos
ri which have been given him by truth. Itis all tru
n enough. as is acknowledged in the sequel Of Il,
10 very article, that every where else, as well as
IF Tennessee. all the quiet, peaceable and modera

a. a. If then it is an acknowledged fact that Genel
S. Jackson is sinking in popularity even in his o'
NJ state, in consequence of the Incorporate conduct
y his advocates /; how much more extensively is
"a" same likely to operate in other states, whe
'c his personal attachments must be fewer and weak
T. to produce the same etfecti And when to Il
III III cause is added, the powerfully operating infiuen
er of truth. disclosing every day the most vnci
'a' testimony of his uttet unhtness for the office
'n' President, nothing but blind infatuaton, OF
me worst opinion of the intelligence and virtue of
lty citizens, can induce any man to hope or expect
'h' ultimate success.
