Great efforts have been made by the organs Of

TO create the impression thnt Gen jackson, be
cause he had Irish parents, could not sanction
the leading principle Of the Amerea IN party in
respect to the naturalization laws mud tho dan
gers of foreign influence. That the grassest in
justice is done to Gen. Jackson is manifest from
many authentic memorials of his life which are IN
the hands of his friends Many such memorials
hase already been published, but we have motto

This is what the American party confer Ids for
