Mr. Hubbard opposed the motion The fine wa,
imposed at time when Gen. Jackson's friends were
in the majority in Congrcssin years since they have
been in majority-and would unquestionaby have
done Gen Jackson justice had any wrong been done
him, in their opinion. He thought it was stretch d
prudence, if not of power, for this Legislature to
deavor to instruct Congress, which has all the record
and objected slso that this trial Of Judge TALL
who had long since been dead. The money had
been offered but Gen. J. refused it, unless accom-
| panied by condemnation Of Judge Hall.
Mr. Villas supported the motion, saying that ho had
hoped at this late day all parties would be jus, 10
Gen. Jacksons military services, and that without re.

TO him. He did not regard this as censure of judge
Hall, but rather OF favor to Gen J. in consider
alton of his patriotic services. The result of Gen
Jackson's proved he thought, that the Gene.
al was right.

citizens ofNew Orleans rendered him the amount "
the fine, he refused it a compensation, and gave
to the poor.

against this political mnnnvre by which the Prolesse'
friends of Gen j., in his view, were doing him no
good
