make-bu, unfortunately, it is not true. The eaden
arrow falls to the ground for of point. We
have more than contrndiced this anecdote, upon
the very best auihorty-but the Wing press will re-
turn like Popes spider. "to its dirty work again. We

The subsequent denuncin!ion 10 which the R. Wing
is pleased TO refer, conradced by at the time il
was made-and upon the authority of most intimate
friend of General Jackson, to whom stated the
