JACKSON'S BU3RISM.
The expose Of the Nashville white washers,
upon this subject, is at length forthcoming: u
cries peccaui from beginning TO end Jackson
was the dupe of Burr. Neither oil the Ie,ters
published by McNairy are denied 10 be genuine
nor is the account current. No explanation Is
offered with respect to them, other man Iha'
Jackson acted under the belief that SUR was
authorised Ivy the Government, or had their
appreciation of his proceedings. Copies o. Sc
veraI letters from Gen. Jackson are proaoeeo'
all written after the conspiracy was deiea'eo )
and all in the strain ofone who telt ne night
be suspected.
A statement from Gen. Coffee shows thai
Burr visited Nashville in 1905, and mat aver
his departure, he wrote TO Generals Jackson ana
Robe son to forward him list OF such enter
prising young men as would serve the country
well in contest with Spain. And TINS isl was
furnished by them!!!
The committee give an extract OF ie'er
from Burr TO Jackson, on this subject, da'ed
Washington, March "a, 1906. his letter, IL Is
said refers TO anticipated difficulties with SPAN
The extracts given, are alleged 10 relate TO this
difference. Here they are
"Iftbese apprehensons should be Justihrd by
events, military force on our part would De
requisite, and that force might come from your
side Of the mountains. Ii is presumed that
West Tennessee cannot spare more thah TWO
regiments" ~ take the liberty OF recommend
ing 10 you to make out list oil officers from
colonel down 10 ensign, for one or TWO regl-
men,s." "if you will transmit TO me this llst
l WILL in case troops should be called Tor, re-
commend it to the Department of War, and
have reason to believe, that, on such an occa>
sion, my advice would be listened to-"
So-here is letter from Aaron Burr TO Gen:
Jackson about officers, and an expedition and
re giments of troops! Why give US extracts!
Let US have the entire letter. Let it be seen by
others than the white washers. Gireus some
proof besides that Of his own adherents.
VIVA, description OF troops was the regiment,
to be thus Differed? Ifmilitia, they could only
be differed by the state. Ifreguars, there was
no regulation by which men and officers could
all be taken from one section OF the country
This is an idiot story What had the Secre,a-
ry at War TO do with appointing the officers!
That duty belonged 10 the President. Does
any body believe that he was controlled by the
Secretary Of Wa? TO Mr.. Jefferson himself
Burr did not dare make reference. q
When j, was first stated that Judge Williams
alleged Gen.Jackson recommended him TO join
Burr, Gen Jackson denounced it as a" libel up
ON his character" and called upon Williams to
say whe, her he was or was not the author OF
the "calumny" Lack-a-daisy how the tune is
changed! Ii is now acknowledged by the
white washers, and proved by Gen Coffee and
by Burr's letter, ,ha, Jackson was called upon
10 make out list Of Off ers Fl ON Colonel down,
and send it Burr, and that Jackson, aided by
others, did make out such q list!!! But, poor
simple souls, they were dupcd by Burr, who
made them bel ieve that he was acting on behalf
of the Government! Burr set on foot trea-
sonable enterprise, or some kind OF secret and
illegal military expedition. Jackson was the
correspondent Of Burr; furnished list Of off,
GERS 10 Burr; received him inlo his house and
confidence; recommended Burr to his friends as
person deserving some marks of attention;
bee anne Burr's agent, and received and expend-
ed his money 10 further The expedlton-and in
doing all this, he was the poor, silly dupe oil
Burr!! Such is the apology his white washers
now off; r for his conduct. This is the common
tale Of every detected irlon-all would lain be
considered The dupe Of some superior villain.
give the Jacksonians JOY of The condition OF
their chief The silly dupe of The Traitor
Burr, TO be President Of the United States.!
