JACKSON AND DECArUR.-It will be reco-
iected by readers that some time since we pub
ilshed letter from Mrs. Decatur addressed 10,
Gen. jackson, relative to the report that il was |
owing TO the influence Of Mrs. DIS husband that |
certain men now enjoyed the privileges OF wearing
their ears. The following, upon the same subject
from the brother OF the iameuted Commodore, will !
be read with interest, and silence the tongue OF
SANDER upon this, one Of its favorite topics.
81 am happy TO join in the above sentime nts al
iuding to Mrs. DIS letter. TO my lamented broth
er's opinion Of Gen. ia, kson. He often spoke to ,
me in the highest terms Of commentator concer- |
ning Gen. Jackson's character-of his suffering, /
and sacrifices in his counry's cause, and of his ar
lent patriotism and honorable principles IN ,.v
OCCASION ora he ever hint TO me single circum-
stance as to any threats against Mr.. Eppes or any
attempts by zen. Jackson TO Ciastise either MIR
EpPes or Lacock. Considering the intimate terms
ON which we lived and the frequent commuuica-l
lions between US, feel confident no such occur
renee IN relation to either OF them happened as ]
mas been imputed 10 Cen Jackson and my brother

David Irilnble has been published by the Inter- in
which the General states that in the winter Of 1924
Ihoinas +. Moore, Esq. told him. that if General
jackson were elected President, he would make
Col johnson Secretary of War and that the friends
oi jackson, or Jackson himself, had given such an
ntimaiion 10 the friends Oi Col. Johnson ne he
passed through Kentucky.
Major Moore will doubtless answer for himself
Dut IN 'he mean time we cannot help remsrkng,

information 1t would only prove that he consider
ell Jackson as bidding the Secretaryship Of War
whereas Mr. Adams bid the Secretaryship of State
and he hnally went for the highest bidder.
But Jackson never gave sach an ntimaton. III
he had said he would make Col. johnson Secre-
