ROBERT BUTLER.
JAMES JACKSON.
We have recently seen a certified conversation
Oh .,ls gentleman with wilkins Tannehi, Esq
and COL III. l.. Douglas, the evident design of
which was, to injure Gen. Jackson rs much as pos
slb'c without committing the speaker. Mr.. James
iackson's expressed disbelief that Gen. Jackson
! would call on him, and his hope that Col. Butler
would have regard for truth in the tatencnt
expected from him than had been manifested by
Maj Lewis in that made by him. indicate will
iingness TO wound, and at the same time, fear to
strike. III Mr.. Jackson knows aught to the pre-
jndice Of Gen. Jackson why has he not ,I;yuiue.l
it?-He has had free aud full permission 10 do so.
The plain truth is, that James Jackson is in pos
session OF no information that could reflect on the
character Of General Jackson, and this is proven
oy hts own act and decd. In 1922 James jackson
was one Of committee, which reported resolu-
tons recommending General Jackson to the peo-
pie OF the United States as candidate for the
Presidency, and whilst a member of the Alabama
Legislature, he used his utmost exertons to pro.
cure the adoption OF the resolutions that recon-
ineDded Andrew Jackson TO the citizens of Alaba-
ma as the candidate most worthy OF their suiraces

sell corrupt man, for having warmly supported
him for the Presidency, THIS is satisfactory an
swer to any Thing which James Jackson can hint
or suggest, or say. Col. Butler has spoken, and
MS testimony confirms that of Mr. Lewis. Will
James jackson pretend TO accuse those Gentle
men oil departure from the truth, on no other
authority than his own declaration. We presume
not--He can but know the folly and abstirdty of
snch an act. This rerorted conversation OF
James Jackson with Mcssrs. TannehI and Doug
las differs materially with other declarations
%hieh we nave been informed that gentleman
made, during his sojourn in n nashville. His whole
course Of conduct indicates disposition to iniure
General jackson's reputation by hints, sugges-
lions, coyDess TO come out, &c. &c. when he
could not do 1t, were he to tell all he knows and
