Sucb are the bitter and iendish dsnunciations OF
jackson by an iu,pacable enemy, who now hopes to
make some political capital for his Jesucal party by
fulsome adula,ion OF the "~ife's nephew, who hap
pens to bear the name of Andrew Jackson. The old
heros virtues and popularity are nor used as g'Id'
ed bait to attract votes to the selfish renegade from
Jucksons principles. The people will not forget the
hyena assaults of modern Know-No.hinss upon the
aoble old chief will they cease to remember that
Andrew Jackson, patriot, man and Christian,
stands immeasurably above the wre.ched tricksters
that now employ his venerable name for most unwor-
shy purposes. We ask every patriotic aud honorable
American to contrast the above vampire attack OF
Brownlow with the following beautiful letter which
was written by Gen. Jackson TO old clerical friend,
upon the death of his soD and which is published in
late number of the Nashville Christian Adrocate,
and then to decide how any good man can affiliate
with party whose leaders pursue So dscseditabe
course they have done in regard to the glorious
Jackson
