General Jackson, ii seets always thought
Mr.. Maids was zone Of ID best Of men, and
great civilian'-but did tot prefer him as
President, because he 'alwaS believed that the
mind of philosopher could tot dwell on blood
and carnage with any composre; OF course, thal
he was not well fitted for .ormy SEA- How
prepos,erous is this objectpn, wnen 1t is recol-
lected that Mr.. Madison wa the very man TO
recommend war, to within war General J.
owes his own high repnta,b n. The General,
in this one stroke of he p"rtil, draws his own
character. Wor is conthi taiiy foatinS be-
fore his onn eyes. The man who can view
blood and carnage with conDosWe, has higher
qualifications for the Presidency, than he who
is erea, c;vhan oil greqt p,hticiqn: for IN Mr..
Madlson's case this is synonymous with Phifos-

What kind Of President would this great
cirjtiaa' Make? A gentleman who tannoi m
ie,pref he pain expressions Of one iaw--and yet
would be called upon TO administer all the laws
Of the land! One, whose ideas are 50 purely
