"Do Gen. Jackson's friends pretend say he is equal
Washington When they modestiy lay claim TO such

.Compare him wia ADAMS and Crawford, and how
Inferior must he BE-"
"We commend Gen. Jucksous modesty in retiring

Seen Jackson, ii seems, always thought Mr.. Madison
was Of the best Of men, and great civilian but he
did not prefer him President, because he ALWAYS be-

blood with any compo sure-of that he was not well
fitted for stormy The General in this one stroke of
the pencil, drGps his character War continually
floating before his eyes. The who can view blood
and carnage with composure has higher qualifications Tor
the Presidency, than he who is great Civilian"
