son. In the rebuilding, therefore, the
former figurehead of the Constitution,

placed by one modelled in likeness TO
President Jackson. This was done in

dore Hull, who had charge of the un-
docking, but who was powerless before
the approval of the change by Mahlon
Dickinson, secretary of the navy, and
as good a federalist, if no. better,
than Elliot
AS soon, however. as the J. dblic knew
of the change, which was as soon as the
ne0 Constitution was launched in 1884,

that in 1890 upon the report of the in
tended destruction of the old ship.
