" sOf ALL the gentlemen named, General Jackson
appears to MOST OBJECTIONABLE. lhat he

Gen Jackson. At the particular request OF
friend, we have copied from the Baltimore Morning
Chronicle, all article signed Cato, in favor OF Gen.
Jackson. as candidate for the Presidency. What
ever may be the opinions of others on the subject
WE certainly cannot perceive in his arguments eng
i thing very cogent convincing in support OF the
proprety of his choice Ourreaders will not jda TO
remark the difference fopinion between the writer
and his prototype with respect to placing success

the circumstance that such had obtained

4 Gen Jackson has been elected to a seat in the
u. S. Senate, in opposition to Col John Williams,
SC. We CANNOT FoRBEaR remarkng that Colonel
, Williams has been highly valuable member OF the
Senate and as STATESMAN. has been OF infinitely
service the country than the General euer has
been, or probably euer zrW be; and being acquaint-
+ ed with the business to come before Congress at
their next session, would have been able to have
. done much more than Gen. Jackson can possibly be
expected to do. And as candidate for the office OF
: President, we think it would have comported much
better with the dignity Of character, 10 Ohich the
General pretends to tay claim, to have reained from
e offering himself, &c.
