on and cslunuy upon the P'rt OF the entire conelsa
-. .rtv and ,se regret to acknowledge, Of sDaall-
,,- ,s.1faotou Of the Republican party Of Tonnes
Not only does this prejudice exist against those Of
the New England statos but the people Of every State
in which the Internal institution Of slavery did not exist
As surely as the morning dew is dssipated BY the
rising sun just so surey viii this UNANIMOUSLY unfounded
presdics be driron from Tennessee.
To those Of the called Democratic Party who be-
levc that nothing good Out Of man Of North
ern birth and training. We commend the following
speech Of distinguished Democrat named Andrew
jackson
It will show ia what esti,nstiou that great grand ola
man held the people of the New England States, when
he visited Boston in 1888.
The Lndrss whose opinions We consider worthy Of

Said Ger. Jackson
at one Of the most gratifying incidents of my life
to my eloH-citzens upon Bunker HILL at the base
Of that monument their patriotism 10 erecting and upon
the sacred spot halloHed by many interesting recoec
tions-a rich spot in the various national objects which
il presents to Tiew and richer still In the associations,
moral and historical, which belong to it.
The earlier incidents Of the Revouton-the heightened
patriotic declsratons-the stern determination to meet
the coming eveuts-the vigorous preparations to resist
them suceessfullythe great battle which opened the
Revolutionary contest Sohose M results upon human IN
satioas are get 10 be disclosed aud IA achic your
sacred monument lost, aHd If yor devoted toon con-
sed isperishabie glory acquirethe services sac
ces and the suerings Of this generous and
ed State and the memory Of the renowned meh she has
furnished for the field and the Cabinets ali these recol-
eotons crowd upon my mind render this Of the high
places where American citizens will repair to con
template the past and indulge in ancpations Of the
future
And when to all these arc added your moral social,
literary and religious institutions your happy equality
Of condition your charitable establishments your foun
datons for education, the general diffusion Of knowledge
your industry and enterprise and when we reflect that
most Of this is to the New England States, you
may well be proud Of your native land and eur country
may we'll be proud of New England
have seen much to admire and emulate, nothing to
excite regret, and if my journey be attended with 20
other results to myself shall fees amply repaid by
witnessing this fair prospect Of hannah comforts by
finding that, however high had rated the moral and IN
electua character Of the Eastern portion Of the Union
had yet to learn had not done il justice do not
speak Of personal kindness / have net with cannot
But the impression is my heart, and will only leave
me when life departs.
