JACKSON g. RURR

The Burr charge, is only one among many sc
cusations against the character of General Jack
10 winch tile desperation OF bis enemies driven to
congenia inventions, has given rise In almost all
the presses OF the coalition whose paners have
reached US lately, JACKSON SLAVE DEALER
stars I'm the face With the authors of this charge
EtWin & McNairy, we have nothing 10 do It is
our purpose merely TO notice the substantiated facts
OUT OF winch this charge is said to have Originated
az they are detailed in the Nashville Ren,tbj;co,
and the authenticated note signed "Andrew Jack,
SON which completely refutes ii. For this pur-
pose we make the following extract from that pa
per-
Having now demonstrated. that the pren;ses
oil Col Erwin are entirely false aud his conclusions
wholly dlldcious, we shall feel perfectly satisfied
III submitting The case to the consideration of the
pubic but for the purpose OF putting the matter
completely 10 rest we shall proceed to the proof of
negative, as General Jackson's friends have Of
ten done before, and prove conclusiyeIv that he
was NOT interested in the purchase of Gpperson's
"eS'oes' iurther Than as security for the payment
OF 'he purchase money. The very face of the o.
gfeehnent indeed, would be efficient 10 convince
man oil business oil this fact Gen. .Jackson tv.s
known to be man Of property & credit Green
was young man just commencing business with
out fortune-and Coeman's circumstances ano
thing but fiourishing. If then il had been tbe nm
uerSiandlng oil the parties that Gen. Jackson was a
PThcipu In the transaction, would not his name
have been put first in the contract Would IL NOT
nave been Jackson, Coleman e. Green instead az
Coleman, Green & Jackson! This consideration nj
useli Is sufficient 10 rebut the supposition that ne
was principal in the transaction. But the follow
ing endorsement on the back OF a copy Of the orr;

Of he bank, and certified by him TO be true CO.
Py, which endorsement is also witne ssed by him.
VIII Tor ever remove all doubt upon the SUBJECT
MOTE The said Andrew jackson has no in.
terest 10 the purchase from X. Apperson of the ne
groes, or cotton and Tobacco from Bennett Smith:
ne only holds lien on them for the payment of th
purchase money, for which he is bound as secu.
rity. for Jos. Coleman.
