were the professions of Andrew Jackson
when a candidate for the Presidency,
and which induced IN 'unsuspec,ing
people to elect him. Grateful for his
military skill at New Orleans, they
overlooked all his deformities, and in
an evi! hour placed in his hands the
dcstinios Of their country He com
mcnced his administration under cir
cumst ances the most encouraging-the
people were prosperous and happy-thc
national debt was gradually being paid
the labor aud capital of the country
were employed-the currency equal to
any in the world, and nothing but a
continuation Of good government want
ed TO insure a continuance Of all these
blessings. But no sooner had this "sil-
yer ven Prophet" 90 use the figure of
his early friend, Gov. McDuffie) OBJ
tanned the seat Of his ambition, than he
began TO unfold the treachcry and wick
edness of his heart Instead of con-
sulting the wishes Of those who had c.
lected him, and aiming to promote the
public good, We find him plotting against
the liberties Of his country, and doing
all in his power, to uproot and destroy
the very principles he had himself re-
commended. Among the first acts of
this modern Cesar, was the recall Of
that worthy and distinguished individ-
ual from foreign mission, who had
done more to merit the favor ofthe peo-
pie Of the United States than any other
military man living, and who is now so
successfully waging a war of extermin-
alton, against the officers Of Jackson's
appointment from his president, Martin
Van Buren,, to the meanest tool in his
service; and, who in one short month,
will be elected to fill tho chair of State,
mol By fraud-not by order Of Romish
pops-not by promises Of ofice-noi by
selling The poor against Me rieh-or any
Of The humJ"gs Of The lines, but by GOTH
Err MEANs;" The FREE, UNBoUGur su6i'a-
ges Of an Independent, Lm an u,sul'ed and
abused people.
/ Another Of Andrew Jackson's s early
acts Of tyranny was his refusal to re-
lease the imprisoned Missionaries, cap
turcd by the forces of Georgia upon
neutral ground, and while they were
endoavoring to civilize and christianize
the savage tribes. This neiarious re-
iusal Of duty, answered double pur-
pose; it enabled him to obtain addition
al influence with powerful State, aud
to crush the humble aud worthy mes
songcrs OF mercy TO the earth. These
men were poor, they had very little in
auence, and strictly attended to their
business. They could not promise him
any thing to teapt his ambition, consc-
quen,ly they must I've left to suffer- He
must destroy something, and such suf-
ferings as he knew these men endured
raised no emotions Of pity or oikind-
ness in his bosom. His heart knew
little Of such feelings. Cruelty was his
ruling passion, "it had grown with
his growth and strengthened with his
strength" But am not disposed to
give TO Gen jackson all the odum Of
his epiavcd acts. There were kin.
