Indisposition has prevented an earlier netice of) the article below from the Union. It is inserted at length, that the public may see what serf of a reply the fiienda of Hen). Jackson have been able. to gel up to the statement of facts presented by. us IsbI week, in nasiver to his coarse denunciations of this paper ami its Editors.

What object our contemporary of the Union could have had in view, in the publication of such an article, we are entirety at a loss to imagine. Certainly not the defence of Genl. Jackson from the slatcments made by us; because he has not pretended to deny one of them. Thai lie has not materially added to his own reputation for candor, liberality and fair -dealing, we shall present ly show even to the satisfaction of his political friends. lie Bets out, it will be seen, by affecting to re gard our exposition as a mere ebullition of "vanity' wholly uncalled for.

And in order lo sustain him solf in this very unimportant point, ha is compelled to resort to a palpable misstatement or a paltry quibble. Ho gravely declares that, there was nothing in Genl. Jaeksnn'n card "touching the conduct of Mr. Allen A. Hall" tliat "he waB not even named or alluded What, when this press was de nounced as being characterized by a disregard of truth, and in ronpsct ta himself, by the most gross calumny Not mentioned or nlluded to," when it was broadly insinuated that "tho Editors" were the correspondent, upon whose authority the slate- moni was said to oe maue vvo trunk tins a very strong allusion.

If it be replied, that Genl. Jackson had reference to the Kditar, in his capacity as such and did not mention the name of the individual, the quibble is too Daltry for grave argument. It was in defence of his character, as an Editor, that the individual wag called forth. We prize our character fur honesty and truth just as hia' in the one case us in the other. We would just at soon be denounced as a calumniator in our private relations, as in our Editorial rapacity.

Wo ojieem it just us disgraceful in an Editor to palter with the truth as h. a private Usotletnan. In short, nothing could induce us to say any thing ns an Editor, that- we would not be willing to say as a private individual. H' knots no distinction. Does our neighbor take a different view or the subject? So it would sesin from the language he uses below.

The Editor of the. Union takes occamn to refer to the Gentleman who is relied upun ta prove the statement denied hy Genl. Jackson, as my witness, ITa does this, too, after the authorship of the. paragraph containing iho statement bad bean distinctly vowed by the late Associote Editor of this -and after I had as distinctly disavowed all knowledge of it until it nppearcd in the paper. We greatly fear that oar contemporary has left all his candor, liberality and magnanimity behind with his coadjutor of tho LouUville Advertiser he worthy who gogie two or three weeks ago proclaimed that he and nr-wilf had oo6 been "old cronies." We We bad many hard things (aid of us in our time, bar.

Jackspa'a published charge against the de-posita hanks of having sold their specie ut a premium sod baoght up their own paper at a discount, the of this State Wc advise biui flot to lay the "flattering unction to his soul." The question has never hen fairlr nrnapnferi lo tno neonle ol-I ennesce-r- when it shall have been done, the principles of. the late administration will Iw fqund triumphant, and Mr. Hall and bis friends in a wuful minority.

Mr. B.

advocated tho passage of the bill at some length. Mr. Graves offered an amendment to iho 3rd section of the amendment, providing that one-half of the arnoan! apportioned to ha si ennessce, shall be appropriated to the improvement of the rivers in that section or the stare. Mr. Anderson of Davidson moved that the bill and amendments lie on the 'table, and be printed, which iiioiion wus rejecica.

And the question being had 'upon Mr. Graves amendment, it was rejected Yeas 5, Nnvs 20. Mr. Whiteside moved to amend thenitlc of the bill, so as to make it read, "A bill to appropriate the merest of tha Surplus Revenue to the use and sup port of Common Schools, and lo-distribute the Sur plus Revenue and Common School funds amongst the counties of the State," which motion prevailed Air. Bh.ucher'i amendment, as amended, was then adopted, and the bill, as amended, was passed on its second reading.

Mr. Thompson submitted a retolution instruct ing our Senators, and requesting pur Representatives to "uso their utmost exertions to procure the naisage of a law" compensating the Tennessee volunteers, cailr.d out in l3t, and the rule being suspended, said resolution after being amended by Mr. Gentry, by a substitute in lieu of the whole: was adop ted.

I nor less than the redemption of their notes with specie. This is not what Genl.

Jackson said. If the latter be the Editor's meaning if by the term bought, he intended ta be understood, that the deposite banks have redeemed their own paper at a discount, with their specie, then we do deny it broadly and unequivocally, and we demand of him $lcifirationt and proof. We' deny it in behalf ol our own banks, apon satisfactory information which our neighbor can receive at tho counters of those in stitutions whenever he shall cull for it. We deny on the part of ihe deposite banks of Virginia, on the authority of ihe Richmond Enquirer. We deny it Ihe part of the deposite banks of New York on tno autnonty ol the Albany And we deny'it on the part of the deposite hanks generally on the authority of our National character.

Lef have tpecificationt. What bank have done ibis deed Have ail If not all, then let the guilty bo held forth to public scorn, and the innocent relieved from an imputation so di'gracefal and dishonest. The way that our neighbor takes up the gantlet thrown down by us to Gen. Jackson and his friends. is "a caution." We had challenged them to deny solitary fact evir stntrd by us concerning Gen.

Jackson, either upon our own authority or the evi dence of others. Why, quoth our neighbor, the whole file of the Banner is a continued misrepresen tution of ibo asiioru and motives of Gen. Jackson Bravo! This was accepting the challenge with a vengeance. Feeling conscious, however, that this would never do that it was yielding tho fiuestion and awaro that the eyes of the General and bin friends ere on him, as their cha.ripion, 'the Editor of the Union, made a desperate effort, arid gavo more specific wherein, as he alleged, we hnd calumniated Gen. Jackson.

Ho pretended to draw the specification from qur own article in reply to Gen. Jackson, wherein we. had asserted, as he that "the severest thing which can bo said of his (Gen. Jackson's) cenduct, ii the truth." That is nut the sentence, as we wrote it. The Editor of the Union has torn it from its context," altered the words, and then put it forth between marks of quota tion, as our own, lo convict us of "calumny!" In reference Jackson's conduct in ibis Stale, during the pendency of the late IVesidcnliat election, we remarked, there was no inducement to calumni ate him, when "the severest thing that could be said of his conduct teas the truth" evidently referrin' to his violent and prescriptive denunciations of Judge White's friends his toasts at public dinners his letters and speeches to Committees his conversa tions, am particularly to' his celebrated declaration at Lebanon, that no man could consistently sustain his udmiuistration and support Jidgo White.

Thesi were the whoso severity was greater than ca lumny. Calumnies Gen. Jackson's friends knew how to meet and put down. But his own nets arid declarations wore fatal to him. Wo repent, the ns scrtion, thorcfore, that Ihe severest thing which coald be said of Gen.

Jaokson's-conduct on that oc casion was the truth. And the General himself, must feel that wo are right. -What would he not give, could ho cry "out spot," and know that the recordbfhis conduct in reference tp tho election of his successor, was forever blotted from the minds of his countrymen! With what equanimity would he not then listen to all tho that coald be con cocted knowing that they would not live after him? But the frutA: that will live after him, and "through nil the tides of time" assign to his character and conduct the place they ought lo occupy esti mation of Ins countrymen." "An article appeared in the Banner on Wednes day Inst over the signature of "Allen A. Hall, which requires brief nolioe. The most striking thin" abeut it is the vanity of the writer.

General Jackson had thought proper to contradict statement in the Banner in relation to his opinions of ihe pre sent rtaminmraiion, ana n.io inereby created an 'is sue between lumsell and that iiaper. There was no. thins Ins letter to Iho iulitor ot the Union touch ing Ihe conduct of Mr. "Allen A. Hall" ho was not named or nlluded lo.

The Banner had given up the names of those from whom it derived its infor mation, and al! parties were waiting for the state ment ot the witness lelorred to by it when "Aden A' Hall" makes his appearance in advance, and endeavors to boar the old General to the earth by the weight of his name. He anticipates a differ enco between his witness and tho Gene-al, andjeeks lo invaiiuato.rus testimony by insinuating that he has uueii gumy oi laiseuoou on oilier occanions. With this view he refers lo the General's mutake in re gard to Bailie Peyton's vote, and to a statement about the deposite hanks bnine up their naoer at a di'counl with iheir specie, after the supension. But wr. Hall admits that the mistake in Mr.

Peyton's case was acknowledged, and thereby full reparation made for any injury sustained: and we doubt whe ther he will be hordy enough to deny that the banks nave uougnt up tneir poper with their specie. Mr. Hall denies that he ha ever calumniated the General, and calls fir an instance.
