coming as IL does from a man of immense pow er

panied and surprised to see that the President Of m.
United States has thought himself called nnon n
utter such sentiments as are contained IN b,s c,,or
TO the Rev. Mr. Gwnn
The Jackson Truth T,Her expresses its sunrise
that it had " so much misunderstood Tho M.

=" To the friends Of Judge White in this
State, the President has been unjust if no,
nnSra'eiul." 1t goes on 10 sustain thus position

declares tina. the people Of Tennessee will never a.
bandon the stand hey have taken in favor Of JUDGE
Whie. We have room only for the following cx.
tract
g" Her sons arc freemcn, frecmcn, both in body
and mind. They have taken their stand, and pain
iul as 1t may be that their sense of duty and patriot
Ism should separate them in opinion and feeling
from one they have been accustomed 10 regard
with feelings of vencration and love, they will
maintain it al erery haeafd. Let the President. if
he chooses, descend from TIE high station 10 which
he has been elevated by the love and confidence OF
his counrymen, to the low condition of political
rarllzan let him, if he will desert the cause of the
people and offree suffrage and become the open ad
vocate Of irresponsible conventions of selfish parti-
zans and office holders-et him, if he will denounce
his old friends and throw his influence into the
scales of those who are graspng a, the spoils and
patronage of the government. But great as his
popularity is,-powcrfu as is his influence, he will
find that the freemen of Tennessee they who have
been nsul'cd and sgma'izcd as slaves and tools by
reckless opposition, for their devoedness TO him
can visit Indignation and defiance to a faithless
friend in power, as well as shield him, when weak
and powerlcss, from the deadly shafts which caum-
ny and wrong aimed at him, from every point, with
the most fend-kc hate
We might multiply these extracts, but we pre-
sumo 1t is unnecessary. We have copied enough
10 show that if Gen. Jackson's orders are laws to
his friends IN Virginia, they are less Stubborn than
the people of Tennessee
81 w" received by the LIST Western mail the
LIST No. of PAPER, recently established in
Nashville called The Union" and edited by s.
Il. Laughlin, ESQ Judging from lis editorials, as
well as from the previous endorsement of It's orho
doxy by the Globe we presume the main OF ect of
lis establishment is the advocacy of the Baltimore
Convention and Van Burenism in Tennessee. 1t
is forlorn hope, however, in that State. In al
most every county, meetings have been held, atten-
ded every where by the leading men, at which
pledges to support Judge White have been entered
into Gen. Jacksons ordcfS if they could ever
have been effectual in attaching Tennessee TO the
Van Buren, car. were issued AT least six months too
late. The die is now irrcvocably cast The peo-
pie have gone far that they cannot recede, with
out subjccing themselves the imputation Of being
the slapcs of Gen. Jackson bound TO do his bid
ding, however irrcconceablc TO their own ideas Of
personal duty and patriotic obligation. Tennes-
seeans can never DO this.
