1--WE have attempted 10 show from the of his
Gen J'.l liie from tho confession OF his respec
liable biographer that be be possessed of the
extensive Information OF great statesman-tlat Mis
defect atone rs sufficient 10 dtsquai him for the Ere
rutirc CHAIR.
I'VE have attempted also to show by the record,
that he has exhibited at Nachez, at New Orleans,
and his correspondence with the Governor of Geor.
sa, an i,npetuous and arbitrary temper-tchich lily
qualities lin far the high sutton ,cich he aspres
alt has long been maintained MAXIM that the
man who cannot obey ought not TO comma nd-and the
rule. IN the present AT least stands upon this sound
reason: that the man who makes 'hs own will and
pleasure the sole rule and guide of all his actions
""ght mol TO be trusted 'c'M tie large poeers Of Pre-
sident 9fhe 4. States. We want Tor that office
man who VIII cooliy and carefully observe the law
and the constitutions for these be his guides in
the administration OF his powers. Now, is Gen JACK
son possessed NJ mat cool and Tempered spirit ,chic ,oi
IT for IN Executive .Nag'strute2 Has he exhibited
nat spirit in past tines. What says for Instance the
history of his measures in 1882"
Here how Georgia has been treated and
what she may again expect. But will South Caro-
lima no hig her evidence of her 'civs' than 20
support such man? The idle and degrading com
parison between jackson and as,ug ton is thus hit
of by the friends of Jackson;
From Me Enquirer Of March 10 1924
"Do Gen J's friends pretend TO say, lie is equal TO
Washington IPten they nodestiy ay tain 10 sueh
HretenriOn, It will be time enough answer them -
Gen. j.. it is said has given some essaus al New Or
leans, &c True, they fine essays; but they were
military ones You might as well pretend that the Ba-
SteuLen could write mastery essay on tue law of
nations"
From, The Enquirer Of May 10. 1924
"Geh jackson, Is seems, always thought Mr. Madi
'one of the best of men and great CIVILIAN,
but did not prefer him President, because he AL
ways believed that the mind of pi0sophe could not
dwell on btooi or carnage with any coD,posure: o.
course, that he was not well iued stormy sea
How preposterous this objection when il is recol-
iCcted that Mr. Madison was the very man recon-
mend war; 10 which war Gen. J. owes his own re
rutaton The General IN this one stroke of the pen,
cii, draws this own character. UIar is continunuy
roattng before ms eyes, The man who can view
6tood and cn''nnge with composure, has higher quali
cations for the Presidency than he VINO great CT

''What kind OF President would this great eiril;c,
