The manner in which man transacts business
partakes largely of bis own character. The man
OF cool deliberaton may be discovered by a pru-
dent forethought and cautious contemplation of his
subject, and the mild and conciaing intercourse in
every settlement about which he is engaged while
the man of warm, impetuous disposition plunges
headlons upon his undertakings, without thong hit and
careless of consequences. It is this heedlessness
and warmth, which units many persons for close
intercourse with the world, and the pleasant, safe
and beneficial transaction of individual or state
business 1t is this peculiarly which marks Gen
eral Jackson as man in whose hands the admin
lstration of the Government would lose its mild and
pacific character and the Union suffer loss, from
an overbearlng manner and authoritative tone to-
wards other nations. The natural impulse of the
mind will generally be followed, Yet our situations
or stations be what they may-the irrepressible
force of disposition WiH burst forth. The public
offices in which General Jackson has served, with
credit to himself have been such as demanded the
sternest department and arbitrary sway. His
province has been the army, every subordinate
station of which is completely destitute of freedom

was beneficial and toierably safe. Toierabty safe
