Of New Orleans. had honorsbly closed
The second war Of our independence, and

The House of Representatives. with The
independence which belongs 10 the repre-
sentative character. upon some Of his pro-
ceedIngs in the conduct OF the Seminole
war, which ! thought illegal and contrary
TO the constitution and the law Of nations.
A non-intercourse between us ensued,
which continued until the fall of 1924,
when. he being member Of the Senate,
an accommodation between Us was sought
TO be brought about by The principal part
of the delegation from his oRn state.
For that purpose, we we're invited to dine
with them at Claxton's boarding house,
on Capitol Hill, where my venerable
friend from Tennessee Mr.. Whi,e) and
his colleague on the Spanish commission,
! were both present.

followed to the door BY Gen. jackson and

me earnestly to take sea, with Them in

friend, Charles, was standing at the door,

10 follow with my carriage. and they sat
me down al nv own door. We afterwards
frequently met with mutual respect and

between Gen. Jackson and myself. We
have never since, except once accidental

thank my God that stand here, firm and
erect, unbent. unbroken, unsubdued, un-

measures of his administration, and ready
to denounce this, its legitimate offspring,
the most pernicious Of them all.
His administration consisted Of sue
cession of astounding measures. which
fell on the public ear like repeated bursts
ofloud and appalling thunder. Before The
reverbera,ions OF one peal had ceased, an
other and another came, louder and loud

was like volcanic mountain, emitting
frigh,ful eruplions of burning lava. Be-
fore one was cold and crusted. before the
voices ofthe inhabitants of buried villages
and cities were hushed in eternal, silence.
another, more desolating, was vomiled
forth, extending wider and wider the
circle of death and destruction.
| Mr., President, this is no unnecessary
DEPRESSION. The personal character Of
such chief as have been describing,
his passions. his propensities, the charac.

studied, to comprehend clearly his mea

the bank Of the United States, is proven
by the same citations from his message.
