who would have been so iAtl3 Gen. Jackson
To br sncet ssful IN the aia,,n s'iaon OF the Gov
erumenI, or whose services would be pore valuable
to the country II us present or prospective ,ondl'
ton. It's trust quite unnecessary that | should
say, that III expressing this opinion It ~ not my IN
eniion TO nrrogatc TO my self any superior capacity
for Judging IN the matter, o. To challenge for IT any
peculiar respect beyond what Is due 10 the fnany
opportunities for correct observation, which have
enjoyed, md the sincerity with whcl, It IS enter
,uned; nn!h less 10 do any inInstc. tothe highly
gifted gentlemen who are now associated with hun
IN the Goremaent, or to any who have heretofore
stood in that relation to hmm. OF the weight TIM,
oug hi To be attnched 10 tina declaration, you will
Judge, and doobi not fairly Ii is now impossible
that Ger Jackson can ever again be a candidate
for public favor. Those who arc capable of soften
ing the asperitcs Of the past aud disposed 10 do So
| and influenced by sincere desire 10 arrive at
The truth, will doubt not give 10 the views have
expressed nil the consideration 10 which they
entitled and ii ~ To me al all events morally Ger
tam that they do hu anticipate sentiment N
which at no very distant day the American people
| will all concur
| We have only To add, tha', at no period Of our
national existence, has the country required nj
head man such as Nh Van Burcn has described
Gen. Jackson to be- more than 1t nov does IND
for our own parts, conscicntlously say that
the office Of President, from firm, conviction TINT
he was unqualified 10 discharge its manifold and
lmpotan, duties, we not nevertheless disposed
TO withhold Gom him that credit which " Ill be just.
! iy his due, IT, anJcr the existing circumstances Of
embarrassment and danger he shnll be able u steer
! with steady hani, and to sGve our gallsn, ship
frcghted with the rich cargo Of haman liberty
from tn York, and shoals which ON either hand
threaten her with wreck AMI run-or, failing to
conduct her safely into port, he sink with her in
! The discharge u his sworn md solemn deica. In
such course he will deserve and ho win receive,
The support Of every pntriot, ahe'haf IN tic PIES
dentia coniosl,h e may have been rslS1d under tho
banner ofJaek5on, Clay or Wjr.-ai last he shall
receive ours.
