Mr. Blair does moi say expressly that if Gen jackson
alive he would be black republican but that
is the obvious impression which he desires to make
shield for his teaehery to the democratic party to
which he is indebted for all that he Ii and has In view
of the fact that Gen jackson reposed such confidence
Mr. Blair that hele his reputation under bis guardianship

appropriate his and his fame for the benefit of the
reasonable purposes of the men who andered and warred
upon him whilst living entities the Of Francis p.

that Gen. jackson aboionist to the other he left
his elegant sword and copy of the constitution, and
without using either he dishonors the memory of his BEN

We shall not take the trouble to vndicate the character
of Mr. Calhoun from the aspersons which Mr. Blair seeks
