Investment and ownership with his notions
OF the proprieties which should he OBJ
served by man in such a public position.
He accordingly made deed Of gift of his
half-interest in this land, giving as his
reason his conviction that a candidate for
the high Office of president of the United

assume this appearance of what he ro-
garded as a public impropriety, General
jackson chose to give away an exceedingly
valuable property.
