Tennessee-When she furnishes CESAR
who dictates to the people-she will also furnish a
BRUTUS."
This toast we learn was proposed by relation Of
Mr. Bell who is one Of the leading Whitcmen in
our country. The plain English of the toast we take
to be, that Tennessee Iias furnished CESAR, in
the person OF 1ndrew Jdekson-that this modern
Caesar, like the Roman General whose yautng am
btion led him to. aspire to CROWN, to grasp the
liberties of his country, and to dictate to the people
his own supreme piH-woud find in Tennessee a
BRUTUS Brutus had been the bosom friend of
Caesar; he loved him much, but he loved his coun-
trv more Cesar was ambitious, therefore Brutus
slew him. Who is the Brutus that Tennessee will
furnish to stab the Caesar that she has produced E.!
Does the author of the toast mean that Judge White
is to be the Brutus!
General Jackson Cesar an ambitious tyrdnt,
that seeks to Occrthrop the liberties of his country
served his country so long and so faithfully; who is
Just about retiring to private life with popularity
euualled by none, save one, that has ever lived IN
our country, who tottering on the brink ofthe
grave, full of honors and glory; that the man who
has stemmed the torrent of federal usurpation has
hurled the advocates of strong government from
their high places, and planted the standard Of
free principles-that this man is denounced
CEASAR deserving the dagger of Brutus
and that too, by a leading friend of Judge White, at
n dinner in honor of the arch leader of the White
party We appeal to the true and honest support
ers Of Judge White, to pause and reflect upon this
matter. Are you ready to denounce your beloved
jackson as CESAR2 Are you ready to justify
a Brutus in springng up from amidst the very house
hold of Jackson, to join the conspiracy of facous
in,riguers, and rid the country of the DICTATOR We
know that you not prepared to abandon the old
Hero and Patriot. Why then fight in cause in
which the leaders proclaim such sentiments! When
did the violent and reckless OF the federal par
~ ever advance n sentiment mare 0diOus. Jackson
has been denounced by Burgess by Poindexter by
Pinckney, and few others of the same cast, n
tyrdnt, dictator, All uSmper; but even these
have done no more than what done by the au-
thor of the toast Tennessee" When she furnishes
n Cesar who dictates to the people, she will also
furnish Brufns." And why is Jackson thus rank
ed with the usurpers of olden time OF what avail
it that he barred his bosom to the pess storm of
war, and curbed the high of the imncibles of
Welngton of what avail was it that he has wres-
ted his country from the misruc of federal usurpa-
ton, if he is now to descend to his grave, cursed
with the inglorious and infamous charge of being
DICTATOR, TYRANT, CESAR! And who at
tempts to fix upon him this deep stigma Let it be
that is a relation of the grand mover
and soul of that conspiracy of factiots inrigucrs,
who are laborng to ruin the reputation of the Prcsi-
dent, under the false guise of pretended friendship
The general character of the toasts, under
