RAJ. JACKSON'S CHARACTER.
Tia; the reader may understand the snoJee'
on which the following letter from Zen. JaGh,
son was written il seems necessary 10 sta'r, 'hs'
Slas Dinsmore was Indian Agent to the C"o''
taw nation, and that according 10 the laws ie-
pulating intercourse with the Indians, II pc
came his duty to ARE stall persons, pa:tic"'a''!
colored persons, whom he might find In or ira
Yelling through the Indian country "inou
passports As public road, however PASS
through The country, it was supposed ny SUI
that the agent had no right TO require passport
Of ner.ons travelling on that road, and his DO
ing SO i. the sum and substance OF the oneh.e'
which ELECTED the following outrageous le''er
from General Jackson. Ii may be proper aiso
to state, that on complaints being made 10 'ne
Secretary of War, Mr.. Dinsmore was !hstrucf
ed to exercise iudicious discretion IN sop
ping servants, particularly those accompanying
thei masters.
We have characterised The letter OF General
Jackson as outrageous; it is so IN many ..
speets, il outrages every feeling oil huh'a"'I
and .ecorum; it threatens the government nut
with absolute subversion, ii is true, out WY"
usurpaiion Of its powers-nay, more; II 'hfea.>
ems to do that which the government cannot 40
$50 inyolve .SiiuS Dinsmore IN the. flames
of his agency house; and L. Stump i'll Ie'ter
TO MIR. Dinsmore says he "heard General JacH
son SWEAR, in a public company, that y
Dinsnaore did mt desist in stopping peoples
negroes, he rould be DAMNED Jhe did not
BURN Dinsnsore and has agency TOO -
Again, in the closing paragraph Of his letter,
General Jackson says, "Can any freeman read
the above without, indignation and firm deier-
nination If Government does mol sare as
Immediate relief TO BURN the M,oleSS ~
rant in the agency house." The Generals
letter may also be taken as another specimen
of his literary quaifications-"H relates 10
the two SUBJECTS that HAS for some time r.
rif0ied the public mind, andI now ready
to burst forth in vengeance"
To conclude-is il possible that the writer
Of this letter is the Andrew Jackson who now
sspires to the office Of President OF the United
,ates? To our modification as American CT
Iizens. we are obliged TO answer, II Is the SAINT
Andrew Jackson.
