This is a plain and accurate statement of a transaction which has neen mucn mirnreented. and for which Jackson hss been held up to the world ss a cruel and relentless murderer. Let us men examine the grounds upon whiih the charge of morderand cruelty is attempted m h annnnrted. nlanv 01 vou, teuow citiaens, have seen a pmpMet on this I subject,' professing to bean Omcral Ke- cord, printed- by- - Jonathan x.lliott oi - a m . a.

That their term of service wai lexplrd,rir"ittemptrd"to-e-- shewn by allegiog.'fiist," that Gov. Blount : called them out but for 1hree months, and, ae condly, that f he called them out for - a longer time, it was without authority. We shall contend, and we think success fullv. that both these allegations are false in point of fact ; and further, that if true, ,k An tmt a(Tet General Jackson, and w " - that so fares he is concerned, the execu- t e li. tion mat proper ana jusunaoie. inf. For what length of time were they, in fact, drafted into the service i It is plain that this can be ascertained only by the orders under which they were called out. Among the papers sn nexed, the order of Governor Blount fiies their time of service expressly at SIX MONTHS. Yet this order is not printed by the authora of the pamphlet before mentioned, although very impor tant in their view, to a right judgment in the case. Was it omitted for any fair purpose f Can a good cause require the keeping back of a .materialparof, the evidence ? Vou are plain men, arcus tomed to fair and honest dealing.
