ANDREW JACKSON AND TEXAS.

The enemies of the Remuneration Of Texas have
put the story in circula ion in Washington for the
purpose Of effect that Gen Jackson since the receipt
OF Mr. Van purens letter has changed his position as
TO Texas We state this story for the purpose Of
mailing IL as base coin to the counter II is false
We hear the fact that Gen Jackson sine. The receipt
n Mr.. Van Bsrsn's letter. has asserted in the most
unqualified and determined manner hts support of the
Treaty, and Of immediate annexation. He takes the
whole ground which an American patriot should oc
cupy upon the subject lie is for Texas upon all the
great considerations which affect the interests of
this vast Republic and, with strong
hand he struck down the British lion on the battle
held of Orleans, now he will be found TO strike
down the bold encroschments Of the same power up-
on our dearest and most vital interests Attacks up
on Texas have only served to nerve the strong and
noble heart Of the Great Patriot and he strikes bold
er and holder at every attempt which ha. been made

beware; they have reused the giant, whose moral
power they are destined 10 feel If they can profit
by this, they are welcome to it, Let them take the
