General Jackson's official organ for Tennessee
| only few days before the result Of the election
70 which it refers was known. II proves tha
Grumpy was the true Jackson Candidate TIT
one whom the Hero preferred; and that BELL
owes his election TO the friends OF the Admins
trstion. Bells majority was upwards ola thou
sand.
From the Nashville (Tenn.) Republican.
Nessrs Editors--I saw few days since let
ter from Kentucky, in which inquiry was made
whether General Jackson had not con siderable
opposition in his own stare, aud even IL, his
own neishbourhond.
This inquiry was, no doubt, suggested BY
the accounts ofthe administration dinner given
=, this place on the 4th Of July--a very natural
inference 70 be deduced from a pro1edurs so
extraordinary; for although this little squad
professed 10 keep coal, there will he seen, over
The United States, few toasts which 6reathcd
more marnlly The spirit OF party feeling. Les.
,hese cool ,oas;s and this cool assemhlaS' should
be misinterpreted by those 4, distance, It may
no, be amiss 10 give some GItle explanation.
In all places, there are persons OF narrow
minds, who view with laundiced eye, those who
By merit, orgood fortune, are elevated to high
or promotion than lhemselyes-and "hate that
excellence they cannot reach. Nashville con-
,ains some Of Ibis description Of men In adj
dillon 10 this, General JACKSON has had, Tor
years, bis personal enemies, in This place, whose
irnuence from their icsoKh, connexions &c. has
drawn more in their train. These, having pro
cured The signatures Of some twenty or thirty
New England gsn!itn7en, recently emigraled,
with few strangers, and with HE standard OF
opposition waving over them, took their SOIL
luncheon at Decker * Dyer's Reading Room,
while 500 faces. dressed out in smiles, happily
expressed the cordially and gl,ee which 'carmed
their hear,s while celebrating al Vauxhaii Gar
den day dear 10 every lover OF his country.
That the friends Of the administration should
have some advocates in Tennessee is TO be eX-
pec,ed. They may be stated, / suppose as one
TO five hundred.
The friends of Gen Jackson in this district,
have brought out for Congress, thcGistinguish-
ed and highly talented Felix Grundy. His ex-
periencc and quali6c ations render him the dcci,
ded choice Of those who desire the elevation OF
tina, wor'hy individual to the presidency. His
opponcut Mr. Bell of this place, is espoused by
the opposite party, and though he is friendly 20
the election OF the General, il is considered by
his best friends, that he has been premature,
as he possesses merit which entities him to
promotion, and cxcent al this particular June
ture would unquestonably ensure it. Grundy
IS he man: and will be elected by alargc naJori-
~ a FRIEND OF TENNESSEE.
Il i. not often that W. trouble our rea ders

Il NAV not be unreasonable or unacceptable
10 our reaRers, TO Law before them a brief view
of the aspect Of political aaairs, as presented
in The public prints OF the past and present
week. The engrossing theme OF defamation
and dispute, as might naturally be expected, is
the statement Of MIR. Buchanan, which we pub
lished in our last This document, it will be
recollected, was occasoned by the circuhstan-
ccs OF the controversy in which General Jack
son and Mr.. Clay have been recently engaged
btGare the public. The former having announc-
ed Mr.. B. as the witness by whose evidence fhe
truth of his assertion was TO be established, The
publication of that evidence became sanjeo'
oGsolicitous expectation with both political par
ties; and since its appearance l, has oecn tni'y
commented upon by the organs and oracies OF
both. The most remarkable circumstance IN
he character OF this letter is the cameleon'ilke
property which has enabled II to suit so haPpi-
" the most opposite and hostile views. VINE
lhcr this effect is TO be ascribed to any inhercn:
ambiguity or obscurity in the document Itself
or to that political dcxterty which adap's any
thing and every thing TO an accordance with
thc purposes OF party, we are unable to deter
mine. Whatever may be the cause, the lac
IS ndisputahIe, that no statement OF facts on
disputed point, has ever met with SO READY
and la,tCriag reception among al classes o.
the community We are confidently assured
BY a multitude Of editors, whose titles II would
he herculean task TO enumerate, that Mr.
Buchanan has fully corrohora,ed the aiIega
TOW, Of Gen. Jackson; while we have au'hori,!
no less imposing for stating, THAT il eniirei,
overlhrows every charge which has been advan
ced, and places thepolrical purity OF Mr.. Clay
