yes 10 former days the military %
Kentucky and Tennessee fought eide BY
side and won great and glorious battle.
That occasion and this present one ex-
hibis many strong points OF resemblance.
When Jackson led our brave troops A.
gainsi the myrmidons OF Great Britain. .
glorious victory was achieved by that gall
LIANT captain. the victory of New Orleans.
OF that victory shall always speak as
my heart prompts. for II was one which
shed the brightest luslre on our arms. But
what is the contest nowf Not between
the hirelings Of foreign king and Ame.
rican troops. but between miserable be.
ing engaged IN stealing power by en-
crozchmenls OF the Executive on the Con-
ssitnsion. between an American King,
supported BY his jsnissaries, down with
him. and the people commanded BY
gallant and noble captain. [eheers three

has just reminded me Of the heroism Of
the President. He. no heroi How ig-
norant you are of the history Of your
country. says my colleague. lie is the
hero Of three memorable wars. There
is his war against the commerce Of the
country. He has triumphed and the en-.
envy lies at his feet! CApplause. There
is his war against the currency. In this
too he has proved the conqueror, and his
opponent is destroyed. Applause. -
There is his last war. though not least.
his campaign against the Seminoles, in
which he was aided by his allies and
auxiliaries from Cuba. Great applause.
I am sorry 10 say in this instance tina. the
Seminoles have maintained their ground.
Laughter. But TO return to our cap
tain. There Is one qualification for pub
lie office, fellow. citizens, which our cam
didate does not possess, and for this rea-
son he is condemned by the office hol-
ders--he has no capacity for pocke,ing
the peoples money and running away
with II. rCheering. He has handled
millions Of the public treasure. and not Ia
cent ever polluted his hands. Where is
now this honest public officer! lie is
poor and derided by those who have re
oted on the pecula,ions Of the peoples
money.
