Gen. Jackson's Opinion of 6 Yankees

Gen. JacksOn's Opinion of Sc Yankees"
Brownlow's Wing brings to light the fol-
lowing admirable, national sentiments utter
ed by Gen. Jackson in Boston, in 1888 The
Wing says: = -,-
"The people of the New England or Yam
kee States are the victims of prejudice and
the objects of misrepresentation and calum-
nv upon the part of the entire Conservative
party, and, we regret to acknowledge, OF
small-very small-faction of the Republi-
can party of Tennessee. Not only does this
prejudice exist against those of the New Eng
land States, but the people of every State
in which the institution of slavery did not
exist.
AS surely as the morning dew is dissipated
by the rising sun, just so surely will tins
unfounded prejudice be driven from Ten
nessee.
To those of the so-called Democratic par
ty, who believe that nothing good can come
out of IL man of Northern birth and training,
we commend the following speech of a
distinguished Democrat, named Andrew
jackson.
1t will show in what estimation that great,
grand old man held the people of the New
England States, when he visited Boston in
| 1882
Gen. jackson said:
"It is one of the most gratifying incidents
of my life to meet my fellow citizens upon
Bunker Hill, at the base of that monument
patriotism IS erecting, and upon the sacred
spot hallowed by so many interesting recol-
lections-a rich spot in the various national
objects which it presents to view, and richer
still in the associations, moral and historical,
which belong to it.
The earlier incidents of the Revolution
the heightened patriotic declarations
the stern determination to meet the coming
events-the vigorous preparations to resist
them successfully-the great battle which
opened the Revolutionary contest, aohOse full
results upon human institutions are get to be
disclosed, and IN aohich, If your sacred naOna
naent aous lost, and If your deUoted toaon
consumed, imperishable glory a0as acquired
the services, sacrifices, and sufferings of this
generous and enlightened State, and the
memory of the renowned men she has fur
nished for the field and the Cabinet; all
these recollections crowd upon my mind, to
render this one of the high places, where
American citizens will ever repair to con-
template the past and indulge in anticipa-
tions of the future. -
An when to all these are added your NOR
al, social, literary, and religious institutions,
your happy equality of condition, your char
liable establishments, your foundations tor
education, the general diffusion of knowl-
edge, your industry and enterprise, and
when we reflect that most of this is common
to the New England States, you may we'll be
proud of your native land, and our country
may we'll be proud of New England.
1 have seen much to admire and emulate,
nothing to excite regret, and if my journey
be attended with no other results to myself,
I shall feel amply repaid by witnessing this
fair prospect of human comfort; by, finding
that, however high had rated the moral
and intellectual character of the Eastern
portion of the Union, had yet to learn 1
had not done it justice do not speak of
personal kindness have met with I cannot.
But the impression is on my heart, and will
only leave me when life departs"
NOMINATION IN HENDERSON AND IRAN
sYLvANIA.-The Republicans of Transylvan-
la and Henderson counties have nominated
Mr. James II. Duckworth. of Transylvania
as their candidate for the State Convention.
Pennsylvania was clearly entitled to the,
nomination, and the action of the ConVenr
ton in the selection of Mr.. Duckworth:
should and will receive the hearty support
of the party in both counties. Let the be
publicans of both races unite upon their
nominee and victory is certain. Indeed, the
Opposition has been beaten SO often in those
staunch Republican counties, that, with the
additional strength of the freedmen to COM
bat,swe doubt very much whether they will
have courage enough to place a candidate
on the ,track.-Asheoisle Pioneer.
