A witty correspondent Of the U. s Telegraph
in a political letter to Dr.. SpurZheim, describes
the character Of Gen. jackson with scientific &C.
curacy as follows:
In your researches, on the hero's skull,
(Riichie is my authority,)
You'll find the intellectual organs dull,
And smaller than they are in the majority;
But. my dear doctor, try him for self tcM,
And there you havet to your hearts content,
A noble bump, large. bold. and prominent,
As yonder Capitol uponi its hill.
Next, in your process Of manipulation,
Look at the orsan-Loos Of .4dula'iOn!
Your scientific ewes,
Will start with wonder at ITS mammoth size.
1t looks 10 me
Like one Of Madam Natures wild vagaries,
And will remind YOU OF the bump you see
Upon the came's back-or dromedary's.
Condolences You'll find extremely large;
Just what u should NJ for a war.I>e hero;
Iesfrac'icensss. sufficient To discharge
tSo son,c folk, saw the duties Of Nero.
In this. | cannot with he,r n",ions jump,
Yet could wish the organs dimunition,
For much, fear me. this destructive bump
Forbodes some danger 10 our constitution.
