e,osnxinr which our recent articles on Gen. Jack
son,s life and character have called forth we have
one calling TO mind Gen Us against resolutions
commenting the Presidential career Of Gen. Wash
ington, and suggesting comments thereon. We
shall speak Of the matter desired. but not at all H.
the way our correspondent appears TO expect For
among those acts Of his life for which we most
heartily respect Gen. Jackson, is that very vote
against the resolutions eulogstic Of the whole public
career Of Gen. Washington
Not that VIC 81 ali agree in the sentiment expressed
by that vo,e-tbe farthest from j; possible. We
should have voted ardently for the resolutions

we honor him. We wish il were 10 fashionable to
be honest that such an act did not deserve special
commendsiion.
We have no data before ia, but the facts We re
member them, are these: Gen. jackson. then scarce
" thirty years Of age, came into Congress ithe
House, Just before the close Of Washng,ons Ad
minisraton. On one Of the last days OF the WITH
Congress resolutions were introduced. expressing
entire and ardent approval Of Gen. Washington :
Civil "A well as Military career. They passed Of
course. for the Federal party had majority, and
many Anti Federaliss protested the highest regard
for Washington. attributing all his measures they
disliked To Hamilton; but twelve Members had the
manliness to vo,eNay, because they did 10; really
believe what these resolutions asserted, and were
not tempted to say what they did not think. OF
these twelve were Andrew Jackson, Nathaniel

Now il would have been easy, and probably popu-
lar for these men TO have said-"true, we have been
opposing the leading measures Of W ashingons Ad'
ADMINISTRATION with all Knight; but he is politically
dead benceforth and little blarney may as well be
wasted on him az not; besides he is personally
very popular, and voting for the resolutions will
'conciliate thousands to rising party, who will
be shocked and repealed If we vote against whole

hand must not the sincere, earnest thinking support

and sickened by their dishonest subserviency
Must they not have said, Mesms. jackson, Macon
& Co., what do you meant You have been ex-

the other, but TO excite and convulse the country
make yourselves notorious and get into office
And ifthat is all you do you expect usto play
your game for youl Ifyou do, rely on it, you are
mistaken "
We do not say that all this passed through the
minds Of that portion OF the Anti Federalis's who
voted against the wholesale approval of Washing
tons Administration Honest men, we presume,
came at the right result instantanesusly 1t was
enough for them that they did not feel what the re
solutions expressed so they voted No. And, though
they may have for the moment frightened away
some nothingarans from their party, we have not a
doubt that the sequel proved here az every where
else, that Honesty is above all Policy
