Extract of a letter from Milford.

Ertract ofa letter from Milford.
You need be in no uneasness about Sussex--The
Jackson in n Castle county expected, at the
last election, from their friends here majority OF
thousand. won't say that we shall have exactly
that majbrity--but what we gave last year will be
added 10 very considerably. The Heroites put
ting on their spurs-and talk loud and threaten to
ride roug gh shod over but it wont do. The peo-
pie here never can fall in love with military despo
tisn. Imprsonng, hanging and shooting people
and cutting off Senators ears, wont do Tor Sussex.
We are daily expecting the memoirs of Gen. Jack
son--there is remarkable good likeness to be pre-
fixed to it. The General has got iron shod boots
on armed with huge pair OF spurs--he has got
tonalawk and scalping knife in his belt--a mon
srous broad sword, us in the very act of descend
ing upon pair Of ears which the ewner trying to
protect with both his hands. In the back ground is
gibbet, with Ambrlser and Arbuhnot and the three
prophets, all dangling in the air--and upon another
gallows on the other side the six militia men, all
in row. Between the two gallows is laying poor
Dickeison " the Id scoundrel weterlng III his
blood. Just on the shelving bank ol river are
seen some Indian women and children whom the
General is dragging out of the mouth oi "A cave where
they had taken shelter. In another quarter the
General is seen kicking the Habeas Corpus about,
and sending parcel OF Judges and civil officers to
iaiI-and in another compartment otthe picture are
NfS't
driving out the members of the General Assembly
from their own liall-ln very remote part OF the
back ground is view of the neutral Spanish Terri
tory--and Jackson pointing to it-and saying the
President forbids me to 20 there-but VIII see INN
id first before | will keep away-he poor soul,
does not tope blood and carnage." So will make
up for all his deficiencies. Towards the middle OF
the book, there is very fine engraving OF Jackson
and his crew shooting down couple of brothers.
a. ,,I. tho nt
shoemaker tnkerng at watch-a matchmaker
making par OF pantaloons--a taylor making
bricks-a halter making shoes-a sailor poughing,
not the deep, but terra hrna--and farmer aioit
furling sails--boys are seen preaching from pull
pit and the parson playing at tives. The whole
winds up with sooquy from the Chiettan. 81
am not Cromwell, but Jackson am not julius
Caesar, but General Andrew Jackson, the SAID
Andrew am greater than Alexander, or Casar OF
Cromwell or even Buonaparte. My vrnf, uldt, vic
| worth the whole kit OF them. Alexander was {
poor soft hearted, chicken souled creatureant sc
was C9sar-their hearts not made OF iron anf
| steel like mine-Cromwell comes nearer to the
thing like, he had no bowels at all. He was a no
BILE fellow! He turned the Rumps out--so did |
He slaughtered man, woman and child, and so did !
He pretended to be saint and so have l. lie hanS
ed people, sans ceremonie, and so have |. lie re
fused the Crown when it was offered to him, but 81
better example and mean TO follow it-citizen Ma
poeon--G eneral Napoleon-tirst Consul Napoieo
and Emperor Napoleon. Citizen Andrew-,oenato
Andrew-Generai Andrew-President Andrew,
last, Emperor Andrew--Don't one sound as well
the other? Why is not one as likely to happen a
the other? Are not my followers as much devoted
me, as his were to him? 2"
