WHAT HAS GEN. JACKSON DONE?

w II "A I1AS OEI<. CAChSOlN DONEf
A meeting OF the Jackson Republican Society
of Eaton, Madison county, was held on the 18th
August, one hundred members present; when
report submitted by the standing committee, was
read and unanimously adopted, and is published
in the last Morrisville Observer and Recorder.
From this succinct and most conclusive review of
acts and results of the Administration of ANDREW
JACKSON, we make the following extracts
They did not suppose it necessary to 20 back
to the early history Of Andrew jackson, to show
his devotion to his country in the revolutionary
war, or his patriotism in defence of our western
frontiers against the Indians-or to the more re-
cent and glorious victory obtained by him over
the British at New Orleans; but to present to
YOU the benefits resulting from his administration,
las president of the United States. "Reform"
was the motto when he came into office, and how
have the anticipatIons of his friends
been realized! He has doubly "filleC the measa
ure of his country's glory"
He has detected frauds, defalcations, unlawtm
salaries, and anlamtul commissions. whereby
more than S. 100000 of the peoples money
have been plundered from the Treasury by men
who had been continued in Office by the Adams
and CLAW administration. Watkins, Nourse,
HAY. Filebrown, Peuke and Hawkins, are a.
monr the number. Two naval officers have also
been detected in frauds upon the Treasury to
large amount. Jackson's rigid system of account
ability developed the "Black List that was re-
moved, and we trust better men appointed in their
room; and to prevent the repetition of similar
frauds, he has established such checks as will de
ify the most artul.
He has saved the nation more than ,0OO,-
loco by his Veto on the Maysville Road Bill,
which amount was in train, and would have been
expended wholly for local purposes. The ma
tional Improvement system was rapidly eXtend-
Jung; surveys had been made; projects involving
he expenditure of hundred millions had been
formed; and most gigantic system of corrup-
lion was growing into existence. Had this poll
cy Of Henry Clay been pursued, the national
| debt at this moment would have been more thar
