THE WESTERN hUN IS published at 82 50 cents, for 52 numbers ; which may be discharged by the payment of 82 at the time of subscribing. Payment in advance, being the mutual interest of both parties, that mode is solicited.

A failure to notify a wish to discontinue at

executed, and that until it was, his powers, and yet his immunities under the law of nations, continued. Gen. Jackson, with his usual discrimination, perceived the fallacy of this pretension showed that the non-execution of that article had caused it to revert to the ordinary channels of negotiation between the two countries, and as l.c had

F ROM Til K N AS1IV11.L E H V. V V II !. 1 C A X . JEFFERSON. NO V Hut Judge Fromentin issued a n.vVav c-;ru-:. in the case of Callava, and ns the meeti: ; had doubtless two strings to their bow, I v. ill a few words to that subject. If the power und the precept of Judge Hall were defective, those of Fromentin were absolutely goo; for nothing General Jackf.on, as Governor of Florid.', was invested with 44 all the poviv; and authority heretofore exercised by tin- Captain (it net il and intendmt cf Cuba, and the Governors of East and West Florida, v ito'-n the said prov hires rcsnectivelv." The onlv limitations are con-

authoritv as governor cf the provir.ee, frustrated

his mercenary attempt to defraud the heirs of Nicholas Maria Vidal : and defeated the ridicu Ions and unautharzed endeavour cf Fromentin to favor this villainous project by the writ of habeas cor fins. When you reflect, gentleman, on your own repeated publication of Gen. Jackson's letter to Dr. Coleman, avowing his sentiments in favor of a judicious tariff, and en your reference to one not less explicit, and on the same subject, to a member of the Legislature of Virginia, you will

confess with me toe dinicultv of finding a decent ! his sensitive patriotism, his victorious courtesy ;

and to raise y"ir conception tdl higher, gentlemen, compare him with, the judges and the attornies Him modi stly pronounce him incompetent, and s y wlu-tlier the peoide of Virginia can hesi1

! prefer hr.u to Mr Adams. It ualeeu r Id hesitate ; if a malignant fate shall i , .. f',ts to tin: compels and ike niachinaKlchmor.d meotin-r, shall decree that

and which posterity will km r.nn b , arc a vigorous judgment a deep iiis',c,!it into character a generous sensibility to ui.m it a prompt indignation at vice a frank temper a fret hand, and a valiant heart. The r;mid::v and strength ot his reasoning faculty, and the for our oi all his conceptions, constitute him occ'd.eilly a man of genius, and give him a foi ce of character which all feel who approach him. To such a mind, so prompt, so active, so enterprise. g. age 1: is indeed given experience, and lelkctio.i brought wis lom. That he may be less odious to the Richmond meeting, 1 will not mention the moral qualities that distinguish him from their idol, Mr. Clay his correct habits, simple 'tastes upright principles, and loftly honour. Hut I w ill mention that he too has been an attorney, and even a judge that he stood first at the bar ot his state as a criminal lawyer, and high on its bench as an equity judge and that in tue soe.icty around him, he his maintained an intellectual snp niority as eminent, and a soi,il influence as endearing, as Judge Marshall enjoys in Richmond. Think

then of his great exploit, his heroic self-denial,

lenomination tor the declaration of the oh

that Gen. Jackson "shrouds his opini"ns rl the tariff m impenetrable mystery. ' Have either of the- Signers ot" the address applied toXi'eaeral Jackson for a statement of his opinions on tis subject ; and were he to publis'r them volnntai iIv, would no, they all he ready to repeat the charge, " h.e mingles in pers'-n in the contest waed for hi-; elevation ?"

. cidiess to general Jackson, with their names sub.-cribtd To Major General Andrew Jack ion. At a moment when great sensibility and cven feaiful apprehension for the t.elfare of cur country, has been excited, frcin one end ol the continent to the other Whf.-riour government, the best calculated of all others, lor the attainment ol individual security and happiness, has sounded the tocsin of ilarm, to be on the alert in supptessing combinations of men, hostile to the integrity of the Union and interest of our country. It behoves all men cither aged or youthful, to coalesce in their attachment to their country. In the affections of the citizens our government exists ; not in oppressive and unnecessary coercion, as in otber countries. These principles vrhich eminently characterise republican institutions, clcaily demonstrates, that every citizen, w hatever his situation may be, ought to con tribute, in somemodc to the support ol the government under which thescinestimable blessings arc enjoyed. The infirm by their opinions and exhortations to them experience belongs They know the incalculable blessings oi freedom, of thought, speech, actionsecurity cf person and property. Patriotism is their claim, though not exclusively, in a country of freedom This is an important crisis, when the limits of legal active exertion, ought not to be sought with a microscopic eye. So far as our bodily powers will admit, '.we cheerfully submit to the rigors of military institutions. Our country will require nothing unnecessarily of us. The thread of ago will not be broken, but it will be used to the

extent of its strength. Under these impressions, we agree to embody ourselves aged and infirm as we may be, oficr our services and our fortunes to our country, in support of its laws and constituted authority.

JAOMSON, AUK FAITH-l-idL" Are wc 1o suppose that Mr. Jefferson, who knew mankind, and consequently, was aware cd the b.cilily with which a portion of it mijrlu be suluted, would have said this of gtuctat Jacksou lashly ur.d inconsiderately ? More especially would lie have said it without suf ficicnt reason, at a time when the whole western country ras pervaded by the ramifications of an extensive conniracv. and when

distrust ot the neighbor had visited almost evc:y indhidua' ? Those who would believe this of Mr. Jefferson, knew little of that great mati's character We repeat that such fcJ--mendations from Mr. Jefferson, under such circumstances, arc a sufficient answer to the charge, though it were supported by the affidavits of the whole condition. But, in addition to the tcstiaiony of Mr. Jcf

fcrsoo, we have that of the most distinguish ed citizens of Tennessee, who took an active part in the movements then made to arrest the projects of colonel Burr. A number of revolutionary veterans, who could shew wounds received in battles where Washington, Greene, and Gates, and Lee, and Lincoln and Mercer, and Knox, and such men commanded, on learning that treason was abroad in the land, organized themselves into a company of volunteers, and offered to GENERAL ANDREW JACKSON, their services in defending their country. The following is their
