self
There Is one error into which Manlius has fall
len, in his zeal to expose Bruus, that is singular
ne says" Brutus further tells us, that soon after
burr went down the Cumberland, gentleman ar
rived IN pursuit OF him. and from this man Jack son
got the hrst Intelligence he had received OF the re-

he wrote his letter TO CIiiborne,c &c. CHOW
most luckily" Continues nj anlius) " we have th,
date OF Jackson's letter TO Caiborne-it is the 9th
oil Nov. 1906, and il is fact which never has
been attempted TO be denied, Ipray, where has il
been proved j that Burr was in Nashville at that
Time and at Jackson's house-indeed, Brutus's own
statement confirms il beyond the possibility of a

Bruus no where says, =. he was follow ed down the
mississippi, by this man in pursuit OF him aud APP

the bag in part, to Burr's schemes, and the in.

Claiborne, Mr.. jefferson and Gen. Smith. Brutus

hlanlius to sgmatise the great achievements OF
Jackson, the memory OF which will last as long as
the Father OF rivers shall roll his waters to the

This :aunt at actions that shed so much ustre on
his countrys name, is what l had not expected

He affects great admiration for Mr. Jefferson and
protesting to be politician, he ought to have
known that ii was almost the expiring wish of tina,
inestimable man, that Jackson should be elected in
preference to the young Duke of Braintrec |,

was striving TO barter away the free navigation OF
the Mississippi for Cod fish, if Mr.. Clay be be
lievet, and denouncng his own government weak
and penurious, than peril his life and fame as Jack
SON did, TO repe the g gigantic power,' before
whose colossal strength Mr.. Adams predicted tha,
we should fail. If so, can only say, that I,voull
