DANA vs.. MRS. JACKSON,


We do not recollect ever TO have seen. in any |
newspaper, an article 30 Utterly destitute of all
decency, a. that in the last Commentator, which
compares the lady OF General jackson TO a " dirty
tldck ,ccnchr' Such attacks and such language.
we are sure, only fill the public mind with
disgust anu indignation al TIE instruments and the
means used by III. friends of Mr.. Adams to sustain
his tottering throne. Slsong mus, be the Induce
ment, stronger, should suppose, than the fee
OF printing she Laws OF Congress, which could III
duce airy who has any claim 10 drcency or
re-pectub;lny himself, forfeit that claim Hib the
whole world, by these heartless and shameless at
tacks unofendng 'em.ie. We could al
most mag: that Nj. Dana, in moment of IN
common s.li-conpiacency, iancied himseJa great
man. and drew his - ILLusrRArIoN" from
what he knew might in Truth he said of his 0,rn
prir0!e ha5itSi
is not WiHosss gu, ,v tesaes see 'h's Je'
Tor The prostitution OF The press, in usherng 10 the
world such productions, that we have obtained our
own Consent to copy il Ii immediately follows
one-sided statement OF the OF Gen. Jack son
and lady, and IS follows.
" lLLUsrRA; ZION. SUPP o-e some distinguished
public Character should happen fall IN low wi Ia
the dirty black wench, ia his own, or his neigh
DORIS kitchen-we DO not mean 10 intimate thai
AM such thing has happened; but as very strange
thing do happen, such thing may be SO far pos
l
man, having so fallen in love, with the black
;oench, should srn"ncipate and marry her; ard
suppose, fGrther, that he should then attempt TO
make her, by means OF his own standing, the as.
sociate and companion of The respectable females
of his eghSofhood; and should, lastly, take her
to the edefai City, and there introduce her in a
MASK, 10 the ladies of the President, Heads Of De-
partmen's, Senators, SC. Would such conduct de-
! serve 10 be exposed? Or would il be a. erea,
outrage to frGduce, not only the characters of
men, bur Of - their toipes," by illusions to the
matter! Would it do to search the secrets of our
opponents toilet, and Crag before the world his
dear est partner Ia life, clad in - black skin
Would It no, be cowardlJ, british, unprinci-
pied and indecent" thus to expose 90 q chd,itd-
Die lGdy?'
low fer language like this is deserved by Gen
esai Jackson or his lady, may be judged from the
narrative which we extract from the Nashville
Republican.
