l. We cannot consent to lend hand towards
the election OF such n man as Andrew Jackson.
We would deprecate his election curse upon
our country.-Richmond Enquirer.

might not have pleased him so well when he wrote
the following:
Do Gen. Jackson's friends pretend to say that he
is cqualto Washington? When they modestly lay
claim to such pretension, it will be time enough
to answer them.-Richmond Enquirer.
Compare him with Adams and with Crawl ford,
and how inJe, ior must he be.-Ib.

He is too little of n statesman-too rasA--too

And AGAIN.
1t has long been maintained as a maxim, chat
the man who cannot obey ought not to command
and the rule In the present stands upon the
sound reason, that the who makes his own
Will and pleasure the sole rule and guide of all his
actions ought not to be trusted with the large
powers of the President of the United States-
Richmond Enquirer
General Jackson, it seems, always thought
Mr. Madison was '0He Of the best of men, and a
great cirit'an,' but did not prefer him as Presi
dent, because he 'alrdyS believed that the mind of
philosopher could not dwell on blood with any
COM 0sure-of course, shat he not well fitted
for a stormy sea-" The General, i'll this one stroke
of the pencil, draws his own character. War is
continually floating before his own eyes. The man
who view blood and carnage with composure
has higher qualifications for the Presidency than he
who is a great civilian.--Richmond Enquirer.
9. have often heard him, (Jackson,) use these
emphatic words-for he fond Of giving empha-
sis to his expressions: 'sRtchie is the greatest
scoundrel in America" And in one of his letters
he uses the following language, which deserves To
be engraved in letters of brass:
81 see that nm attacked in Congress by Cooke,
| Whitman, and Williams, aided by that Infamous
press, the Richmond Enquirer. If such u corrupt
press as the Richmond Enquirer were to appreciate
my conduct, | shonld think in some unguarded
moment, had committed great moral i'm
| propfiety."-Judgc Brackenrdgc's Letter.
