Gen. Jackson and Mr.. Txler.


Quite an edifying quarrel is in progress between the
Globe and the Madisonian in reference to Gen. Jackson
feelings towards Mr. Tyler and the course which that gen.
ueman will in the approaching Presidential election
The Globe in reply article in the Madisonian affirm
ing that the Old Hero would take part the election and
would be content Mr. Tyler elected maus John
and his master:
ave should be glad to know what friend Of Mr. Tyler
"on visit TO the Hermitage" has right to say that fhs
Old roman IS determined 70 take no part IN the approach

the Organs authority for the assertion that Gen. jackson

that deeply concerns his country the greatest in

will not probably, emerge the character of lea

opinions freely as he has done throughout his e that he

his acts, and give his neighbors the light and en-.
couragement OF his example, we will in
lace OF the Administrators proclamation the contrary
And we will venture say further, that if the President
or any OF his Cabinet or even his representative at the
press will send him the passage have quoted from the
Madsonian, and ask him verify it, he will say that il is
utterly untrue: that nothing could make him more hopeless
OF the success Ut the principles OF than the
continuance OF the present mongel Administration that
nothing could shake the fixed confidence he has ALWAYS
had IN the redeemng of the popular suffrage than the

the grossest hnmbuggery, mposture and fraud.
That MIR. Tyler, who the coonery under the
auspices OF Mr. Clathat he who deserted Gen Jackson
the threshold of his administration and followed Mr.

tears because he failed by his the TIL

posed TO the election of Mr. Clay the Madsonan re-
lying false estimate of Gen. Jacksons character based
upon consideration Of the which influence the net,

as an open, like that which he van

looks upon Messfs Tyler, Webster, Spencer Porter Wick
e Co. he did upon the Arbuihnos and Ambristers
who infused their spirit into the treacherous Seninoes
whom he encountered in their anibuscndes in the swamps
and coverts of Florida.
This is first rate II these be really the sentiments of
Gen. Jackson they give us better opinion him. than
ever expected to entertain That they are his sentiments
Mr. Blair ought to know, he has Just returned from pill
grimsge TO the Hermitage.
John Jones, however, not at all abashod by this "usne
up" returns TO the CHARGE and thus overwhems Blair:
We reerate what is said because are convinced of
ITS truth from the Generals and hearty express
ions OF appreciation of President Ters Does

the Globe we say General Jackson would be quite conen
ted President Tyler remain where he is we know
this from the in which the old hero expressed his
satisfaction when he heard that President TYLER had nut his
heel on the Monsters head.
What mean by saying that General Jackson will take
part in the Presidential struggle simply that he
will not "emerge the character of leader'-
lie could not "emerge" without becoming "leader"-
Therefore he will repose the Hermitage But he will
not be afraid to speak freely TO his neighbo, if his
words should be repeated the Editor OF the Globe And
we know the Globe will be able TO procure forty let
ters" from him be read political meetings. before the
convention meets.
The Globe concludes thus;
''lIe Gen. Jackson) looks upon Mr. TYLER. &c &c
as he did upon the Abuthno and Ambsers who infused
their spirit into the Teacherous Semnoe whom he encou
tered in their ambuscades the swamps and coverts of
Florida"
This assertion is We know that he does not
ook upon Mr. Tyler' is here asserted We have seen
letters from General Jackson his friends which express
sentiments quite the reverse.
If the Globe wrong in this instance wherein is il cor
rectl
N ID. Since writing the above find that the Globe has
avaied Itself OF poor bubble endeavor dscred
assertion that General Jackson would take part the
election Onroeng the letter Of of corespon
dents we lind that mstook the word SELECTION for l.
LECTION.
Now, desire say to the Globe-and we say il POSI-
rvELY-thGf is General JdeksOn's determination TO
make determination among the candidates. ishose
shall be submitted the Contention before the no.
niRdtion IS made. Nay, iohateUer may be his friendship
for Mr. Van buren, he has rfsoiued take part in the
SELECTION Of the candidate When the nomination is made
by the Republican Convention, General Jackson will SUD-
port the nominee, whether be Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Tyler
Col. Johnson Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Buchanan, Gen. Cass.
