am very respectfully
Your obedient servant,
ANDREW JACKSON,
REMARKS.

The foregoing letter, says the Nash
rifle Union, Gen. Jackson has been
"compelIed" to write, in consequence
of'the repeated attempts that have been
made through the Federal papers Of
Nashville and elsewhere, and as we
understand by Gen. Harrison himself
in late speech at Columbus, Ohio,
to give forth the impression that Gen.
Jackson entertains favorable opinions
of Gen. Harrison's qualifications, for
the Presidency and more especially OF
his military character. In the ex-
preston Federal papers ofNashville,
the Banner is of course included and
intended to be included. We have
therefore only to pronounce the state
ment so far as the Banner Is concerned,
can impudent and wilful falsehood, !"
and to demand ofthe Union an imme-
date rehaction. We have made no
allusion whatever, on any occasion, to
the supposed opinions Of Gen. Jack
son in relation to Gen. Harrison's
qualifications for the Presidency, OF
his military Charlottesville statement
of the Union, so far as il applies 10 She
course of this paper, is utterly ialse
and without the shadow of lounda-
ton in, truth.
The editor ofthe Wing can answer
for himself. We recoHect of seeing
nothing in his paper that can, in thu
slightest degree, justify the assertioi
of the Union, that the opposition pa
pers of Nashville have endeavored t
produce the impression that Gen. Jack
son is in favor Of Gen. Harrison as
candidate for the Presidency.
Equally false and unfounded, W
believe, is the allegation that Ger
Harrison, in his late speech at Colum
bus, intimated that Gen. Jackson Ell
5 tertains ''favorable opinions" Of h
l civil qualifications or military merits
we have now before US areport Of Ger
Harrison's remarks at Columbus, ;
given by the Confederate" and
+: contains not the most distant allusic
! to Gen. Jackson's supposed opinion
E of Gen. Harrison.-Nash. Banner.
In reference to the reckless a
e sertion of the Union as to the eau
i that produced the foregoing eXtraord
n nary epistle, we unite, with our neig
!, Dor of the Banner in pronouncing
n san impudent and wilful falsehood
e The only allusion made in our colum
y to Gen. Jackson's opinions of &c
J Harrison, is containedin the followil
e editorial remarks offhe 18th inst. II
n three first lines of this article, it W
IS be seen, affords the most conclusi
= evidence that we neither believed, n
e attempted 'to give forth the impressi
l that Gen. Jackson entertains favorat
10 opinions of Gen. Harrison's qualifiC
tons for the Presidency"
CT "GEN. JACKSON AND GEN.
HARRISON.
&c We have recently heard it hinte
g on respectable private authority, t
Is Gen. Jackson, though OPPOSED
re course to The election Of Gen. Harris
m to the Presidency, is farfrom endorsl
nd the abuse and rudeness displayed
he a portion of the Administration pa
,al towards that war worn patriot. /
,ut foul epithet of coward he IS said
IL especially deprecate, as be
eft wholly unwarranted by the conduc'
Re Gen. Harrison during the War.
nj this be true, the fact is highly cred
his BILE TO the magnanimity of the vene
list BILE Ex-President, and should serve
our a warning tothe enemies OF Gen. +
lis rison against the violence OF pi
er- malignity.
cen eve are aware that the relatl
