GEN. JACKSON AND GEN. MILLER

The following, from the Buffalo Com
mercial, is so characteristic of old Gen
jackson, that we are sure it will be read
with interest by every one:
On the accession of Gen. Jackson, the
small clique of intriguers who clustered
the ''Boston Statesman" assuming to be
the Democratic party of Massachusetts,,
had appointed the federal offices in that
State among themselves. To one of their
number was assigned the Collectorship
Of Salem. The war worn Miller was
prescribed without hesitation or compunc.
ton. The selections made by the States
man clique We're accepted by Old Hickory
without examination or inquiry, and Gen.
Mlllers successor was nominated to the
Senate. When the nomination came to
be acted upon, iCol. Benton interposed
and asked that it might lie over. He was
sure that the President would not inten.
uOnaliy remove the Observation-Disclosures
must be some mistake about it, and de-
sired time to bring the facts of the case
10 his consideration. The request was
complied with, as a matter of course.
Col. Benton Immediately waited upon
Gen. jackson, and the interview is said
to have been of high interest. A gentle
man who was intimate at the White
House, used to describe it somewhat in
the following style:
"Genei al jackson, do you know, sir,
who Is collector at the port Of Salem,
Massachusetts, sir l''
&c can't think of his name, Colonel
although I've just sent it up to the Sen
ate But ne is good man, know, and
good Democrat, too, for Green and Hem
shaw both told me So"
But, sir" rejoined Col. B., Il beg
to inquire if whether you know who the
present incumbent is, sir-the officer
whom YOU have intended to remove,
sir @
No can't remember his name
bat know ne is ID New England
Hartford Convention Federalist, for Green
and Henshaw both told me So"
. Sir, the present collector of the port
Of Salem is Gen. Miller, sir, who fought
with so much distinction on the north
ern frontier, In the war with Great Bit
