JACKSON AND BURR.v


Dates are stubborn things. "Out OF thine OVID
mouth will condemn thee"
1t appears from the Wing of the 9th ult. that
Gen Jackson's letter to Gov. Claiborne, bears date
the 7th November, 1906, and the affidavit OF VIM
Easan of Nashville, introduced by Gen. jackson in
the record from Mississippi states that he purchas-
ed BuIr's draft ON Ogden, endorsed by jackson,
about the 10th Nov. 1906. 1t further appears that
Burr was under trial in Kentucky on the 9th Nov.
| 1906, and that he did not arrive in the neghbor-
hood of Nashville until Dec. 1906 OF whom did
Eastap purchase the draft He could not have pur-
chased it of Burr for he was then IN Kentucky. He
must have purchased It of Jackson the endorser, or
| his partner Coffee; both living in the neighoofhood
of Nashville If Gen. Jackson's letter to Gov.
Claiborne was written in good faith, to put nm on
his guard against the attempts OF Burr, now couid
he Justify to himself or TO his country, to aid Burr
afterwards with his credit or his SERVICES IN the
prosecution OF his scheme? The conclusion is Irre~
sisuble from comparison Of dates furnished by zen.
jackson himself that he lent his credit to forward
Burr's designs after he had ascertaned the unlaw-
funess of their character; and that his letter TO
Claiborne must have been intended as deposit 10

the period Of their occurrence. They completely
silence the pretension that General Jackson aban-
doned Burr as the legality of his enterprise
was suspected. The falsebood of this pretence is
evident, as well from the facts disclosed, as
from its intrinsic absurdity. What private enter
pylze, or expedition dow, the Mississippi, Coffee
describes it, could depend for its legality upon the
countenance Of the President That which was in

tenance and appreciation of the National Executive.

Burr contemplated trading or emigrat'ng expedf-

cutive to make it lawful. There was no law repre-
bending such an expedition. The admission that
enough was known, by len. Jackson, to assure him
that the enterprise needed the sanction ohe Govern
ment includes confession that he knew to be illc-
gal when he engaged 10 aid it. From this concluion he
cannot possibly escape, but by making himself an idiot
simpleion and ridiculous dupe. None can believe
him to have been such. On the contrary, the just
conclusion is, that he was principal confederate,

Bottom with two boats, the expedition was prostrG.

ed it. There was no hope of success, and Burr
could only go on and trust his desperate fortunes to
circumstances. Every motive that govern men
made it proper for Gen. Jackson to stop and endeav-
or to escape suspicion. BY this course he might
still remain in situation to assist Burr and the 9TH
!, er confederates at another time. By proceeding
he would certainly damn HIMSELF and could as cer-
tauly render them no service. Hence the accoun-

Review No 4.
From, the Democratic Press.

So much has been urged, and proved, against
General Jackson's moral and political character, that
many of the dsquahfying charges, which, at an ear
ly period of the present political contest had been
fixed upon him, have nearly been lost sight OF by
subsequent developments. As the crisis has nearly
arrived when our citi zens will be called upon TO
make comparative estimate of his qualifications
for the presidency it may be found useful to take
brief review of all the well attested facts which
have been already submitted to the consideration
of our citizens. Such review will tend to eucf-
date the Generals true character, and will furnish,
at the same time, abundant evidence of his unfit
ness for the elevated situation at which ne so eag
erly grasps. will first submit
Evidences of Gen. Jackson's regard for TRUTH
.sTruth is mighty and shall prevail" This is
motto which the General adopted in an eectioneer-
ing letter addressed to his friend in Baltimore. Let
| him be tried by his maxim. In the very letter
containing this sentiment II will be found that ne
has been guilty of departure from truth IN four
instances. Many OF these aoerratiohs nave peeh Dis
luded to by others.
l. In mitigation of his proceedings IN relation 70
! the unfortunate SIX militia men. he remarks that
. the case YOU aude to might as well be ascrbed
to the president of the United States, as command
erin-chief OF the land and naval force, as to me-.
i By this declaration he wished his friends to be-
Iieye that he had no connexion whatever with the.
fate of these unfortunate men, yet by reference
to the official accounts of the proceedings OF the
court martial it will be found that he directed Colo
mel Pipkin to have the men arrested for trlal-that
he ordered the court-that he afterwards approved
the proceedings, and directed them to De executea
within four DAYS. So far from the president OF the
United States. the pure and humane Madison, being
in any degree answerable or responsible for these
denlored transactions, he was not even made ac-
ri ouainted with the circumstances, until these VIC
fms of cruelty were launched into eternity. When
indeed these blood stained proceedings were for
warded to him, which considerable time after
the awless execution of six of his brave feiow
citizens, he was so shocked at their enormity, that
n he ordered them from his presence, nor would he
suffer them to defle the shelves OF the appropriate
