the purposes of his keepers, that he should
sign, in that case, some declaration eff their
constitutional creed.
Among the extraordinary pleas filed in be-
half Of Gen. Jackson. by his advocate, is one
asserting that the deep and general interest
of the country in the Light House Bill, was
good ground for his not signing it. This
notable doctrine is heralded forthwith the as
sumption "thst the bill was 80 arranged as to
enlist the cupidity Of twenty States" and the
question is asked, does this justify q isolation
Of the Constitution" Passing by the incon
sisteney of Gen. Jackson in merely "reiai,iny

"The important fact" Of which the above

that a Combination was formed by the enc.
