Icand0r and truth To say-..it 10 what il -, be
: cause IL u not ahe message Of Andrea Jackson
They know that, Immediately upon tho I'D
IjOurnment Of the last session Of Congress, the
President and his prime ministers were dis
persed from their duties at Tho seat of gov
eminent, and from the cares of public bust
ness, on their respective missions to the
states of the Union. He Of State. bore de.
spatches to Georgia. and 'the Old Chief him.
self was Iugged along through western Vir.
gina, over
! ''Ruts and ridges.
! And bridges,
Made Of planks,
In open ranks
to Tennessee and Alabama. 1t is a pity, sir,
that more Of the people had not witnessed
the executive electioneering tour, for then.
more Of the states would have followed the
example Of Georgia and Tennessee, neither
Of which could be seduced or inundated into
the support Of the sman'--a Tennessee toast
said the dog and 'the MASTER ! am told
that they carried him about like lion for
show, and made him roar like lion. They
had chatechisms prepared for him, and the
negotiations of the mission were conducted
by preconcerted questions and answers. A
crowd would COLLECTION the highway in
the bar-rooms, no matter which-and some
village politician of the party would inquire
-"What think you, General, Of suc!, mani"
In loud tone, much too stentorian for those
lungs which are now lacerated, the answer
rung--'hc is a traitor, sir There, therer
repeated the demagagues to the crowd-.Did
you hear thatv what think you Of another,
Generalr He is liar. siiv what Of an
other? 'He is black cockade federalism
OF another? sHe made speech for which
he paid some stenographer five dollars! And
another was--sOf no account,--no account,
sir, and ought to be sent home to have his
place filled by more efficient man;' and an
other was-'UDon the fence, sir, upon the
fence" But. General. what do you think of
Mr.. Reuben NJ. Whitney,? There is no just
cause of complaint against Mr.. Wh1tncy, Sir;
he is as true a patriot as ever was; and they
are all liars who accuse him of aught wrong,
and the official documents prove them to be
sou All the while these responses were re-
peated by the deacons of the service, and the
people were called TO give heed to them
Those who saw the farce and frauds, did heed
them, sir-did heed them.
My friend Mr.. p. told them that they would
Kill him: that there was too much travel and
fatigue; too much standing and talking; too
much hustle and excitement for a weak and
infirm old man 10 bear. But still, they show.
ed him about, and still they made him roar,
until he frightened the people, who at last
began to apprehend that he was lion come
to devour their freedom reflections, and all
else they valued so dear. Defeated in his
mission, he at length became disguised him
self, chagrined, and mortified. He returned
to Washington thro' Ohio. and by the Guy
andotte route, through Virginia again, and
has been sick and disabled ever since. The
loss of Tennessee, particularly the Hermitage,
excited him still more. and this new excite
ment may have caused that haemorrhage 1T
the lungs which has been pouring out the
current OF his life. AT no moment since his
return has he been able to write or dictate a
message. There he has been lying, as it
were, a dead lion, who could not even Shake
the dew drop from his mane,' and his couch
of infirmity has been haunted by the Pe.en-
Uses and Cieanders of his palace as BY Vam-
pyres. In their hands has he fallen, and it is
because this siast annual message comes to
us reeking with the fumes Of the kitchen cab
met, that it is what it is!
What is it! The ,corst as well as the last
annual message which Andrew Jackson even
ever Urote-l had like to have said ever sent
10 both honses Of Congress. Its vanity and
sgotism-its Profane hypocricy. and solemn i
nockery Of the good mans supplications to
he Supreme Ruler Of the Universe-its So
,histical nonsense, showing its duplicity to a
oreign power, and concealing its real policy
rom ourselves-its lew and captandum argu-
nents, addressed to all the prejudices of igno-
ance and passion, to justify the most shame
ess attacks upon the currency for the vile I
oflicensed depreciation on the pub {
ic lands-its glaring falsehoods as to the I
most important facts of trade, currency, ,
'anks Of deposite, and finance-its election I
ering, continually harping upon an institu- j
ion dead in fact, and thrice wounded since I
ead-its oft-repeated homily against one
God bank, and its unblushing Recommended q
ion, in the same breath, Of nearly half one r
undred bad and irresponsible banks-its dis @
INGENIOUS attempts to reconcile glaring in c
onsistencies Of the President on the deposit y
nd distribution measures-its pitiful apollo
hes for the disgrace Of our arms by Occola-l s
