From the Nashville Rep. Of March II.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 20, 1885.


My Req. Sir IL observe ia the
Nashville Republican Of the 10th inst,
an article headed General Jackson's
preference" which l think it my duty
to notice.
All my friends know, that since l
have been in the executive chair, have
carefully abstained from an interference
with the elective franchise I; and have
invariably acted upon the principle,
that to the people belonged the exercise
of this sacred ight,-uninfluenced by
any considerations but those which re-
lated to the public good. And yet the
editor of this paper, protesting to en-
terrain great respect for my character,
undertakes to connect me personally
with an attempt to divide the great Boz
dy ofrepubljcans in the choice which
they are to make of a president /; and
by way Of giving effect to his insinua-
ton, appeals in the language of my bit.
terest enemies, here and etsewhere, to
the independence Of the people as a
shield against "my dic.a.ion," which he
supposes may be attempted.
Every one must see that the profess
ions of the editor in that article are
made to take the form of friendship, in
order that he may more successfully
carry out his purpose Of opposing the
grea, republican principles which l
have endeavoured TO advance as presi-
dent of the United States land one of
which, no. to say the most important,
is the necessity of looking above per-
sons in any exigency, which threatens
the ascendency Of those principles
All my friends must perceive, that TO
be consistent, my preference as far as
men are concerned, ought to be for him
that is most likely to be the choice of
the great body of republicans and yet,
if this individual should not be Judge
White, the editor of the Republican is
ready to cry on. "dic,ation.
Under such circumstances, seeing
I also that there are various misrepresen-
tasions of my views on this subject, I
commit this letter to your discretion in
order that you may do me justice.
You are at liberty to say on all &C.
caslons, that, regarding the people as
the true source of political power, am
always ready to bow to their will and
to their judgment ;-that, discarding
all personal preferences, ! consider the
true policy ofthe friends of republican
principles, 10 send delegates flesh from

THE BERMUDA OUTRAGE.

By slip from the office of the
Charleston Courier, we learn, that the
brig Enterprise, Captain Smith, which
put into Bermuda, in distress, on her
way from Alexandria to Charleston,
arrived at the latter port on I4lh inst.
The Enterprise, as stated in our paper
Of Wednesday last, left Alexandra
with II slaves on board, (the Courier
says 78, but in consequence Of having
experienced succession Of bad wealth.
er, which drove her off the coast, and
having exhausted the provisions on
board, the captain was compelled to
put into Bermuda, to obtain supplies,
where the slaves were ordered ashore
by virtue ola writ of babess corpus, is
sued by the Chief Justice Of the place,
and set at liberty as has already been
stated. The Charleston paper vents
its indignation at this outrage on the
rights and property Of American citi.
zens in the following appropriate Ian
guage:
"This unwarrantable conduct of the
officers Of the British Government, in
interfering with, and forcibly taking
possession of the property of Amer.
can citizens--this piracy, under the
cover Of Iaw-this high-handed insult
to the Flag Of the United States, calls
for the action Of our Government, and
we confidently trust that prompt mea-
sures will be taken to redress the
wrongs and avenge the insult which has
thus been second time offered TO this
country"
We doubt not ourselves, that the
British Government will promptly
make amends for the spoliations Of the
property Of American citizens, SO far
as pecuniary recompense can do it +;
but aa further atonement, due TO the
violated rights Of our flag, that Govern
ment ought to punish these Bermudian
Quixotes by leyyiug the amount Of the
indemnify exclusively on them.
