From these extracts. it appears that General
Jackson was bitterly opposed to Mr.. PoLK's
abandonment of the Globe, and did every thing
| in his power TO prevent it: that finding his eff
forts all in vain, he advised Mr.. BLAIR to sell,
| but had great doubts whether any of the par
| ties who had been named as purchasers could
| raise money enough TO buy. He had heard

was not unmndful of the part he to play,

"Mr. TYLER, it is probable, wanted an organ to
