GEN. WESTINGHOUSE GILES-GEN.
JACKSON.
The peonle of the United States having become
highly and Justly offended with General jackson Tor
refusing to give vote Of appreciation to the beloved
Father of his Country, the Great W ASHlNG1oN,
when he was about retiring from the n aden'ia
Chair--an attempts now making, on the part OF
General Jackson,s friends to saye over this aront
to the best and greatest of men. Accordingly, we
see Gen Eaton out again (Jackson's great supporter
who expects thing In case he IS electe.l) ana
in letter to Gov. Giles of Virginia. who he c0nsd
ers the most cunning and daring OF that desperate
set who with General Jackson refused to vote apPro
baton Of Gen. Washingtons conduct, re urges Mr.
Giles to explain away the matter, and to make
hole for himself to creep at surprising that Gen.
jackson can follow ON afterwards and creep out
TOO. Mr.. Livingston also has been applied to tor
the same purpose as a man Of expedlents, and all
that desperate corps surviving may be called on
to club their wits and make an apology, that shall
suit General Jackson, for voting against this we'll
merited and dutfu expression OF appreciation OF
the conduct of Washington, the founder OF our te-
public
The letter of Gov. Giles, in answer, is remarka-
Bile for its bold etfrontery and nsoence, and lsanp-
ther evidence, in addition to many others, how Gov
Giles will turn and twist about to answer partlcu'
lar end. We give some short extracts below from
.ifr. Giles speech in Congress upon that OCCASION
when the vote Of appreciation of Washington's con-
duct was proposed, that it may be seen what con-
temptuous opinion lie protested to have OF General
Washington's political services--now be it remeIn-
hered tiat this same Gov Giles in Congress at sub
seauent pernd, when he found it would suit his pur-
pose took back all those undertakings and ln5oence
to Washington. regretted he had uttered them
and praised him to the skies---nut content with this.
he afterwards denied that ne uttered such sentiments
against Washington, and has endeayoured to get this
part OF our Congressional History expunged IN the
next edition oi Marshals life of Washington
Now again, when it suits another purpose that Gov.
Giles has in view, he goes back to the old stand ne
took in December 1896, and justihes all his rude
ness all his ngrattude, and all his lnsolence to Gen
Washington.
Such is General Jackson and such his leading par
tiZans--can the people who love washington vote
fur Jackson as President; who united with Giles
Livingstone and such set OF political desperadoes
refused to express wish "that the example of Pres
ident Washington might be guide to his success
ors in office people, OF Maryland take care
what You about--act ooy-Remen- er that
Washington under God established your indepen
tence and set into operation the best government
for you that man ever lived under--N ashington
life was ever devoted to your Servce-Reinenbe
that Washingson's great fame is left in your care
Preserve it with your life and honor-IIe VIII
would refuse to wish ..that Washingon's exampl
might be guide to his SUCCESSORS can be no vel
wsher TO his Couhtry-and he who would refuse
vote of appreciation Of Washington's public conduct
deserves to be frowned ON and rejected by ever
grateful patriotin America
EGtracts from Mir. Giles Speech in Congress DEF
1896, on lie a1,sUer to President Washington
last address
MIR. Giles said sHe was one of those citizen
whe did rot regret the Presidents retiring fror
office. He hoped he s0ould retire to his country sea
and enjoy all the happiness he could wish-he be
lieyed he could enjoy more there than in his presen
situation. He believed the Government of the U
States would 60 on without him. The people wer
competent to their own government What caIan
tiles would attend the U. States, if one man aon
was essential to their Government! He believe
there acre q thousand men in the United States Wh
acre capable of filling The Presidential Chair
as 1t had been filled heret0fore-he wished the Pre-
ident as much happiness as any man and hopin
ne aoouid retire he could not express any regrets
the event.
How different was the conduct of Mr.. Madse
aud others Of the same party to which Mr. Giles b
longed they voted for the answer in full, and e.
pressed full confidence in the wisdom and firmne
Of Washington-a general appreciation Of his al
rinstration-enti-e admiration for his characte
and wish that his example might be guide to h
successors-General Jackson and Mr.. Giles REFUSE
to do this. Can it be expected, if General Jackst
was to be elected, that he would follow the examp
of Washington after having thus openly and bold
reprobaed it ? Good and true men to your countr
think Of these things.
