ANECDOTE OF JACKSON.

During Burr's trial, Gen. Jackson was in
Richmond. staying at the Globe tavern,
which stood where the -- now
does. He then attracted universal notice
by his loud clustering, cursng and swear
ing. The grea, obi 'ct Of his maledictions
was Gen. Wilkinson, who was shortly ex-
pected there as witness from Louisiana.
Him Gen. j. denounced as traitor a cow
ard, and perjuled villain pr Gxiny TO
every epithet the most energetic Dds 5,
and Cd dds. Nothing could equal
the vgor and variety of his oaths and i'm
precautions. "May be eternally and hell
firedly Cd d." was one frequent
formula with him, which tradition has pre-
served. l know several most respectable
men who saw and heard him upon that oc
casion, and who declare that he was regard
ed by everybody as the very prince of bull
les and blackguards. 1t is said that when
Wilkinson came, j. was entirely quiet, and
very soon took occasion to quit Richmond !;
but suspect the truth of the insinuaton
implied in this statement, for his courage
never could be justly called in question.
Since he became President, Gen. j. has
not hesitated on various occasions, and in
the presence of persons whose presence
n ight have been expected somewhat to re-
strain his ebull,ions, to vent his feelings in
the treest and most undigniGed manner.
His war upon the Senate, which has result.
ed in The almost entire prostration Of that
body (seconded, as his assaults were, by its
own mot unscrupling faciousness,) is we'll
known. damn them" said he, lately, to
gentleman from Virginia, speaking of
some offensive act of the Senate,-"damn
them! They need not think to fool with
me y at the same time clenching his teeth,
and striking with his cane upon the ground.
He has, on numberless occasions, indeed,
almost whenever it was mentioned in con-
versaton for the last two or three years,
damned the Senate as pack of scoundrels.

Trollore, so pleasant am ong all the pleas

shall lead together, what idea each has of

that she never loved her lover so well as
when she told him how many pairs of stock
