transcended its orders. He has usurpetl the b;ob

/ Such was the character of Gen Jackson. as given

Co.. But does Jackson deserve this character ?

'lfe Nothing extenuated and nought set down in

IS distinct in the original. The Florida business
alone, where ne acted merely in ciuH capacity, if
shown to all the people of these States in the sim
pie costume OF truth and without varnish, would set
ms pretenslons forever at rest and he would be dis
missed from the competition with acclamations as
long and as loud as those, which followed the yicto
ry OF New-Orleans.
Gov. Will not the annual celebrations of the 9th
OF January keep up General Jackson?
Sa'. Ihey will keep him in mind as naiHfoyv
"aglam; but the over-actng on these occasions IS
beginning to produce reaction. If all the glory
of victory Is to be ascribed to the man who hap

Coz Is Jackson the friend or enemy of internal

Systemf'
Sen This enquiry appears. at first vew to be im-
portant out 1t may be answered with equal safety
Fl e'ther way Hels. friend or enemy by turns as the
course OF the election carries him. His election rests
principally on the southern states: which are openv
n opposed to the american System; and if he could
gain the election, he must support the men and the
J. policy of those States Penns lyania begins to un
. derstand this part of the case.
/, Gov You then pronounce de6nitively, that tho
e General must and will be given up?
# Sea. He cannot be supported. The ssky-rocket
is now at its height and will assuediy come down

Mt Viger, have had public marks of his Exceency's
