Het"Grks.-I is known that General Jackson, when

are under The highest obligations TO devote his Admin

The article before is i'll timed, unadvised and mn.
authorized Its object purports TO be 10 vndcae Mr.
Van Buren, and MIR. Calhoun from the charge that they
are rival candidates for the Presidency. How is this
done! Not by asserting that the object these gentle
men Is TO promote the union, harmony and strength of
the republican party; but by declaring that Cen Jack

rem has too much respect for him to oppose him Ieav-
ing the inference plain and obvious that iC Gen Jackson
IS not, Mr. Van Buren, will be- candidate, let who will
