NASHVILLE, July lo.-Our columns are de-
voted day almost exclusively 10 an account OF
the celebration Of the fih inst in one of the neipl,-
bouring counties. 1t will be seen that the chief
object oil interest was the citizen and soldier of
Tennessee. The joyful acclamations ofihe multi
tude, and the cordial greetings with which Gen.
jackson was received by his old friends-by men
who have been intimately acquainted with the his.
tory ofhis private and public liie--wil weigh down
all the ISLANDERS and caumny that have ever been
heaped upon him. Can it be believed that muir
dercr, traitor, an adulerer, swindler, and mr.
gro trader, could inspire enthusiasm on the very
scene where these crimes must have been com
mitted if committed at all, and among men who
must have been cognzant of them, if they had had
existence any where, in the malice of his en-
elnies? We assert. therefore that the cnth,,sias-
tic reception o. General Jackson, not only on these
recent occasions but on every other where he has
been called among his fellow citizens, give the lie
direct, to all and every calumny propagated by
the coalition prints. fReDpLIcnp
