the period Of his Joining the army, he was
a leading and conspicuous actor. And it
is notorious fact, that he was scarce
known TO leave race ground, without
having participated in an affray, or at leas.
a quarrel. His whole life has been scene
of confusion, and no man can point TO a
single day in which he has been a. peace
with the world, or during which he was
not at open and violent enmity with some
individuals: nay, most of the time. with
numerous individuals, in public aud private
| life: not political differences, nor ordinary
Misunderstanding but quarrels Of the
most violent, rancorous, and deadly na-
ture."
"Gen. Jackson is a man whose military
and political talents have been vastly over

qualifications for the chief mngistracy--
violent and rash in his measures; vindlctiye
and unsparing in his resentments, and un-
satiable in revenge--a man who by iortuI-
tous circumstances, has been elevated to
a rank for which he never had been de-
signed by nature or education, and whose
elevation to the presidency, might be con-
sidered q step towards the dissolution OF

Monarchy"

The Annual Review, Inspection, &c. Of the
ist Regiment, under Col Stacey, took place
,ast week, as was mentioned in a previous pa
per, and was conducted for the most part we
believe, to the entire satisfaction of all who
participated in the duties of the day. Tie

ditious in that duty than any Of his predeces-
sorsD were reviewed by Brig. Gen. Newton,
| Who expressed much qualification at their fine
appearance and soldier-like conduct. Previ-

drawn up into hollow square, and very ex-

A number of evolutions were performed

After the Companies were dismissed, the
| General and Staff, the Colonel with the other
Regimental Officers, together with the Off.
GERS attached to the several companies m
town, partook of sumptuous entertainment,
served up in very handsome style at Miss
Perrys Boarding house.
The 4th Regiment, under Col. Fd,es, in
Bristol, were Inspected and Reviewed by the
same officers on Thursday. The General had
his Marquee pitched upon the field, and gave
fine dinner and refreshments to the officers
and number of other invited guests, who
retired, says the Warren Star, "highly im-
pressed with sense ofhis poteuess."
