cive any communication he might think

ther-in-law, the gratitude I felt towards Gen. Jackson for his eminent public services, patriotic hopes founded on his popularity, my high estimate of his character and entire confidence in his thorough devotion to republican principles, altogether, impelled me to take the step 1 did; knowing full well that martyrdom of some friend would very likely be the

consequence, and resolved to endure it

with firmness for the public good. That geneial apprehension entertained by Mr. J fferson, in common with all faithful republicans, of the delusion which military glory 's so npt to pro

duce in the minds of the people, 1 have

l(en heard expressed by him. Indeed 1 haveoftcn heard him say that popular enthusiasm,ousuchoccasioiis, might be dan: gerous even to well established and well balanced republics, for it was apt to be as unbounded in its confidence as its gratitude, and i: might possibly some time or other, be excited by a young and ambi

tious, and Unprincipled favorite of for

I am, moreover, very sure that he never

had a doubt of the thorough aipaciiuofGen

eral Jackson for the taste of administering the Government perfectly mil. He used

formerly toay that t ahiegton had no

all the information requisite, but that he

always invited discussion in his cabine

in which he never took any part himself,

but listened with the utmost attention

and then brought his own strong and

suund judgment, with the utmost impar

tiality, to make the decision, upon th

question, or with regard to the measurt

President satisfied with his own lamt

would be less liable to feel a jealousy o superior talent, or information, in his ad

visers; and would consequent! be much

more apt to have men of the tust rate o

character and celebrity, to compose his cabinet, from a consciousness of possessing literary attainments inferior to his mental powers. I have never perceived inconsistency in Mr. Jcflfrn-'Oirs doctrine on the subject of Internal Improvement b act of Congress; although an unwillii gaess to deyelope it himself was obvious enough. 1 always understood that he thought the whole fund derived from public lands ought to be appropriated with the most strict fidelity to that

and this computation nearly agrees with

the samantan and Soptuagmt Chronology, and with that of Josephus. According to this computation, 7235 years are to be reckoned from the creation to the. present lime; and, consequently, 220,000 millions of human beings will have existed since the creation, which ia more than 223 times the number of inhabitants presently existing.

If we suppose that before the close of

time, as many human beings will be brought into existence, as have already

existed, during the by-past ages of the

world, there will, of course, be found at

sentiments, at that period, I was very

it necessary for some person to begin the contradiction, f had never heard Mr.

Jefferson speak of Gen. Jackson in other

He teas ever friendly to the protection of home manufactures, and would have car' ried the doctrine of encouragement by legislation, to the productive capabilities of the
