The CONVERSION GENERAL JAcKsoN.-Dr.
Samuel A. Cartwright, of New Orleans, in a letter
on slavery written to the Rev. Peter Cartwright of
Illinois, has the following reference to the conversion
of President jackson: The whole subject could be
settled in trice-the shcisms in the churches heal
ed and our political union cemented, if dealt with
you dealt with General Jackson, boldly faced, and
the truth, however unweIcome, forced upon the
public as you forced the awful tenets of the church
upon his attention; instead of mincng matters or
smothering your Methodist doctrine (when kindly
pulled by the coat in the pulpit by brother clergy
man, and admonlshed IN a Whisper OF the presence
of that renowned personage,) you cried DOT aloud
his name, the hero stood up before you, and you
Numbered in his face the awful words that ''God
would damn his soul if he did not get converted"-
Many Of the audience, knowing his impetuous tenn
per, trembled for you, and one of the preachers,
after church was over, called him to apologize,
especially for some additional remarks you made
that God would make as quick work damning him
as he would Guinea negro. jackson waved the
apologzer from his presence. The arrow had taken
efect-you had come squarely up to his standard Of
what minister of the gospel ought to be- viz: to love
everybody and fear mortal man. He naturally
concluded that love for him and every soul around
him was the moving spring of what might be re-
garded Incorporate zeal, and he opened his heart
to receive the word you preached it. When he
afterwards met with you he shook you cordially by
the hand, and remarked that he only wanted q few
thousand such independent fearless men to officer
an army to take old England. There is reason to
believe that as England and the war disappeared in
the distance heaven opened to his vew and the word
you had SO fearlessy preached prompted him to
win the bliss he now enjoys. Andrew jackson, has
gone to heaven, and left the work of taking Old
England to Young America, and Young America
can do it in short time by the force of example,
without striking blow, if we only had few thou
sand fearless independent preachers to proclaim the
truths revealed in the Bible in regard to negroes.
