JACKSON AND Burr. Last week gave the coup dc
grace to the coalition SANDER which attempted to con-
meet GENERAL JACKSON with the reasonable enterprises

ceived by him the Goth November 1906 and therefore
written early in that month, and the General Orders is

Tins Burr charge, however, is only among many
accusations against tho character of Gcnl Jackson to
which the desperation his cnc les driven to congenia
Inventions has given rise In almost all the presses of
the coalition whose papers lave reached lately
SLAVE DEALER sares in tho face With the authors
CT this ch,rge, Erwin and McNary havo nothing to
do 1t is purpose merely the subyantiated
facts out of which this charge is said have
as they detailed in the Nashville Republican, and the
authenticated signed Andrew Jackson which com
plotcly reuies it. For this purpose mako tho follow
ing extrac: from that paper
"Having now demonstrated, that the premises Of
Col. Erwin entirely false and his conclusion
wholly iaiiaclous, shall feel perfectly satisfied
IN submitting the TO the consideration Of the
public but Tor the purpose of putting the matter
completely TO rest, we shall proceed the proof
of negative, General Jackson's friends have
often done before, and prove eonclusively that he
was not interested In the purchase of Apperson's
negroes, further than security for the paymen mt
oil the purchase money. The very face of the a.
greement indeed would be sufficient to convince
man Of business of this fact. Gen. Jackson
was known to be man OF property and credit
Green was young man Just commencing bus-
ness without fortune-and Coleman's circumstan-
ces any thing but fourishing. Ifthen it had been
the understanding of the parties that Gen. Jack
son was 4 principal in the transaction, would not
his name have been put first in thc~contract
Would 1t not have been Jackson Coleman and
Green, instead of Coleman, Green and Jackson
This consideration of itself. is sufficient Iebut
the supposition that he principal in the
transaction. But the following endorsement on
the back Of copy of the original articles, copied
by Anderson, the Cashier OF the bank. and GER
tilted by him to be true copy, which endorse
ment is also witnessed by him, will for ever re-
move all doubt upon the subject"
