TWO LETTERS
In Jackson's best style.

In Jackson's best style.
In Gen. Jackson's public correspondence, upon
public affairs, there is decent accuracy OF compo-
son, which would indicate tolerable scholar !;
and, although the language is very often exception
al for its rudeness and coarseness, his writings might
pass for those of plain, unlettered but intelligent
man. When, however, his correspondence, such
as is actually and unquestlonably his own. comes to
be inspected, it is found totally of different des-
cription. All the rules of composition, OF oThos-
raphy and OF syntax, are disregarded, and most
reprehensible ignorance is made manifest. only
few specimens have fallen into the hands OF those
who have deemed it right to expose them. Ihey
have been sufficiently conclusive. Still It cannot
be amss to multiply the proofs upon this head and
for that purpose, here copy exactly, with the eX-
cepon of punctuation. two original letters from
Gen. jackson. They deserve to be preserved, IN
this work. as curiosities in more particulars than
that of their literary pretension. They present no
doubt, fair specimen of the writer's mind, and OF
the subjects that occupied it, at the time they were
written. He then forty years of age, in the
prime and vgor of manhood, and the medley otcru-
des which these letters contain, seem to have been
the chief pabuem on which his intellect snbslsted

This letter is without date, but is endorsed a
written the 4th and received the 9th OF January
1907, and was addressed To Mai. WM. p. AMBER
SON. The occasion of writing it, as will be seer
was the receipt of the President proclamation re
spectIng Burr, and letter from the Secretary
War on the same subject. And it is certainly II
markabIe for the cool Indifference with which pr
vate receipts, a negro-tradng bargain, contempt tc
the Secretary of War and consultations for the SUI
preston of a supposed wide spreading treason al
commingled together. EW
If we rightly comprehend this document, e.
press had arrived with letters from the Preside
anl Secretary of War, informing Gen. jackson tn
a dabolcal and reasonable conspiracy was in tn
action, and that his own nelg ghborhood had been OF
theatre of its operations, and himself dupe to a
it. He is called upon to make immediate efforts
auash it,, and this letter is written to one with who
he wishes to hold immediate conference. But Il
purchase of "n negro girl" is the first matter to
arranged and that disposed of, state affairs d
introduced, and in treating of them, the Secreta
at War is ridiculet, suspicion cast upon Capt
sell and the American commander broadly charg
with treason. Then comes the promise OF gre
things to be performed for the country by the Ge
eral himself in recovering New-Orleans, and r.
toring Western commerce. The utter gnorau
ofmilitary affairs manifested in the proposed mill
ry arrangement is truly ridiculous. Thirty, thir
