ANOTHER FEDERAL MANICURE
EFFECTUALLY THWARTED.

The repeated attempts that have been made
through the Federal papers Of Nashville and else
where, and we understand by Gen. Harrison hm.
self in late speech Mt Columbus, Ohio, to give
forth the impression that Gen jackson enternns
favorable opinions Of Gen. llarrIson'- qualifca.
tons for the Presidency, aud more especially Of
his military character. have compelled The veteran
hero Of New Orleans, IN justice TO himself, TO his
long cherished principles, and his country, TO
prevent the injurious tendencies olany such euo-
neous impressions by giving the country the letter
which we this day publish
The Federalists have mirepreseuied him upon
this subiecl--tbey have attempted TO place him IN
an untrue aud inconsistent posliion--to derogatc
from the purity of his unsurpassed Honesty and
lnlegrty--and to abuse his Judgment They have
gone within the private pale Of the Hermitage,
drawn forth its lIIusrious tenant, and held him up
to the public in false position. And since they
have thus attempted moi only % nJure hun, but to
make political capital ont OF Their misrepresenta.
tons Of his opinions, let them moi complain that

HERMITAGE, June %, is40.
| TO The Editor Of The NashpiHs Union
| SIN. From the many letters which have been
recently addressed to me asking for an expression
Of my views relative TO the leading measures Of
the present administration Of the GeneIal Gov
eminent, some Of which are from well known and
respectable sources, representing that efforts are
made in various quarters Of the Union to lncite a
belief IN the public mind that my confidence IN
the present Chief Magistrate has been impaired
it seems to be proper that some steps should be
taken by me to undeceye those who are thus i'm
! posed upon. For this purpose, SIR, beg the Ia
Vol Of you to give place IN your columns 10 this
! note which trust will be as acceptable 10 those
who have written 10 me or the subject as a direct
answer in the form ola letter would be.
From whatever cause, or on whatever aulhon
! ~, statements may be made representing me as
having changed my views OF the leading measures
| of the present administration they arc unlounded
and unjust. or the wisdom and importance OF
these measures, and particularly Of that which
aims al the establishment by Congress Of fiscal
agency for the Government without the use or aid
oil Banks time md the fullest opportunity for re.
| Fiction have left not doubt on my mind And
| the ability which Mr. Van Buren, has manifested
in developing the bearing Of this great question,
and oli,s antagonist one, on the free institutions
! Of our country, and the drmness he has displayed
in holding on 10 the true interests Of the people
when there has been so much temptation TO com.
promise them, enlile him IN my judgment to a
| rank not inferior 10 that Of Mr. Jefferson or Mr.
! Madison as a Patriot and Statesman.
With such opinions Of the present Chief Ma
g,straie and of tiis measures to which be has CIV
en- bis sancton-op opinions which have never
| failed 10 express when have had occasion 70
speak on the subjec,-it is surprising how any
one could take up the idea that my confidence IN
him had been impaired or that had become III
| different as to the choice TO be made at the next
! election between him and Gen. Harrison. Look.
