This singular charge against General Jackson's military career amounts really to nothing ; but we deny that General Jackson is as much a military chieftain as he is a civilian. We deny it in toto. He took up arms during the

revolutionary war, at the age of

fourteen, lie studied law and was admitted in 1780 ; in 1793.

General Washington appointed

him District Attorney for Ten ncssee ; in 1700, he was called to

the Convention, to aid in forming

a Constitution for that state. After lie lesigned that station, lie was

appointed a Ju.lge ol the Supreme Court, which he held for several years with great credit, and Tennessee once more called him to the Senate of the United States Here is the life of the man who is trumpeted forth by the Administration, ay the nine Soldier the Md ttar jj Ch itfain e cry station he held for jorjjj years be ins; a civil ore It is tuie he was a Miiiiia General it is also tri e he was a General in the army, and after subduing the Indians he act sieved the greatest victory of modern times and ravvd the whole of tiie western states Is he to be

Clay. The freemen of this rich and widely extended commonwealth, have minds too well cultivated to be deluded by cuch a frivolous objection. We say frivolous, because there is no weight in the suggestion ; as Clay and every body else knows that the character of Military Chieftain does not belong to Gen. Jacksonlet us take a brief view of bis life. At the opening of the war, he was a militia general in the state of Tennessee. The Indians, instigated by the British, assumed such an attitude as to require the Government to order out the Mil-

litia of that section of the country. Gen. Jackson, in the course of the events ol the times, took the field, and he there evinced so much bravery and skill that the nation required his services. After having se ved his country, and gloriously terminated our late war with Great Britain.
