Gen. Jackson, in his sickness, occupied his mind
20 very great degree with the subject of the an
ncHaton of Texas as his bodily strength failed
him, it seemed as if his mind grew stronger i'm
pressedlwiih the matter. distinguished clergyman
well known for his pety, called on Gen Jackson
tho conversation, against the clergyman's wishes
turned upon the annexation of Texas After va
rlety of remarks, the clergyman observed that he
was afraid that the annexation would lead TO a war
with the European powers. Gen. Jackaon still
persisted in pursuing this avorite train of thought
when the following conversation ensued
Ciergyman-We should be careful, General
how we involve the country in a war, because now
that you have retired from public Iile we have nc
great military commander to- take the field
Gen. Jackson--We have a commander perfect
ly competent.
The clergyman expressing surprise at the conf
dence Of Cen Jackson's remark, enqu;red where
the people were to look for that man ? The Gen
