zee with what propriety the Jackson presses
claim him as Jackson Senator, when he saws:
alt is undeniai that he General Jacksonl
lends bis ear too readily to individuals near

be Well, u they DO not exhaust the principal
before the end Of his tera1."
The next Congress will contain many
nemoers thinking just as Mr. Poindexter

Gen. Jackson was psrposely elected to the

was found that TO make Gen jackson known

resigned his seat. under the hypocritcal pro
