KNOXVILLE, September 22ndT The reception Of
General jackson at the "Stone Mill'' in Hawkins
county, will, cannot doubt be highly gratifying 10
our readers. The recognition Of republican princ-
PIES and the appreciation OF the measures Of the Pre-
sident in conformity TO them, strong assurances
that love of country, and devotion TO the constitution
construed according 10 its original meaning are still
predominant in the hearts Of people. Nc arc the
more pleased with this display OF public sentiment ii
originates in district where great pains have been taxi
en- TO bewilder and mislesd the public mind, where
fcderass have exercised unusual activity and under
the cloak of democracy disseminated their arbitrary
maxims; and where interested politicians have endsa-
vored TO misrepresent republcanism. These arfices
however, have, in great degree, failed; the eyes OF
the people opened they begin discern their true
friends, and are willing TO sustain them with their
qualified support
The address to Gen. Jackson and his rep,v are able
productions, are handsomely written and well worthy to
attract attention. We rejoice the prospect of the IL
UNIVERSAL prevalence of republican principles; that the
great democratic party alive TO the interests of the
country; in the language of the address, that this
Sampson s awakening; his locks unshorn; let them
not provoke him" We have yet doubted the
patriotism and intelligence of the people: experence
confirms our confidence in ther ability and integrity
and leads tonIulge the hope that under the auspices
OF wise rulers the happiness and freedom of the com
munity. the right of the States and integrity of the u
Mon, will be long preserved.
