PORTRAIT NO. II.
V ANDREW JACKSON. '
There is hutch individuality iu the in
tellectual character of Andrew .Tuckson
It is this singleness of mind which has gi-
Yun to his uotiynsthut gigantic expansion
of ionown which fins so greatly cnptivnt-
ed the riatiou. His conceptions are as
strong us fliey are rapid, tnul ho lias the
felicitous faculty of seizing upon thut ctr-
cimisUmceiu every transaction by which
the minor incidents Rroeontrolled. I will
briefly examine his physiognomy.
The face .of clou. Jackson is of no or
dinary formation. Its general aspect is
that; of inflexible resolution. Whatever
the circle of his acquaintance that de-

Everysnan has more of less ol
ulty which fias'sesiftftlcaatte i^jfnc pf imn-
sri nation.* Withfflft l ‘iti nt^humaii under-
may be his purpose, j'oii cannot discover
' in- liis features the slightest appearance of
hesitation. Iris in vain that you offer to
temporize: his dctfei'niimitioii baffles all
your art. You loUst uncuuditionally 'subi?
mit or eutirely overpower Him. 'This
sternness of decision is mistaken by ma
ny for violence of tern pc iq but li close in
spection of liis countenance .will undeceive
you in this particular. The deep lines of
thought upou his check denote Him to ho
habitually a man of profound reflection.
We arc bound, therefore, to conclude,that
tilC astonishing success which has attend
ed all his actions,is the result of just views,
fin exact appreciation of difficulties and
the’trauma of overcoming them, atid of a
precise knowledge of the qualities of liu
man nature. Ilis eye displays great men
tal activity and vigor, which is well sqs-
taitied by his bodily energy. In General
Jackspn are eminently united and harmo
niously combined \v|iat is called tnorul
and physical courage; forming, in the
qpinion’of enlightened men, the perfec
tion of constitutional temperament.
Every human character, however
its defect; And the imperfection of Gener
al JacksouVfcharaetcr is, thut it impel:
Him always in u direct line to the con
summation of his purpose. He considers
vvliat is right, und pursues it with nil in
tegrity and mi alacrity of resolution which
do not permit'lfiiu to pause nor to delib
erate, upou scruples, doubts,or obstacles.
When you call such a man to tfio execu
tion of a duty,, do not calculuto upon, bis
falteriug. He will leuve you no room to
• excuse yourself upon his omission; and
you must He uncommonly industrious if
you keep puce with him/ It is only at the
end of his tusk that he will .listen to com
plaints of his'conduct. He will then bear
you; and if you cim satisfy him that he
has committed vvrong, he will, if possible
atone for it. To reproaches for errors
qfaniilferior'ciags, he triumphantly an
swers, “I have accomplished the object.”
, There is nothing on the brow of Gen.
Jackson from which you might infer that
he is obstinate. But be is.uuquestionably
firm. The lower sectiou of bis face, in
that, respect, does liut.deceive you. It is
there that the features otj, firmness nrc
perceptible, and apparently ns immoveable
os the ijfck of Gibraltar. In the severity
of conflict be might, perish, but lip would
never surrender.
On the stability-or steadiness of Gener
al Jackson, consequently, you' may al-
ays rely, lie has no feverish anxieties
■ of apprehension, no luisgiviogs.'uor sav
ing cirfculntions to make. Protection or
punfsHHient are sure to wait updo his
friends or His foes, upon his country or her
•enemies. - This is witHTum, a principle
that is sacred. - The word complain is
not to be found in his vocabulary. He'
despises cunniug, -aid is tooivpjmtieuf of
its grovelling and creeping practices to
countenance it. Yet he is- never blinded
by pusstbn.
gi nation „ ,
standing would bo. inert. The portion-of
this faculty whicli bclon |s to General
Jacksotrltrcomparatively ilmnll, and just
sufficient to serve ns a pioiu ler to his judg
ment. It nccessarily-follov.' t that he is not
liahlc to he misled hy illusii tns. Y et this
limitation of the imagination, in some sort
limits thocqmpffchchsiveno/V of his views.
—With a single-object befbro him he hi
almost always sure of his aim, because
the |K»wer ofhisteind coiulsts in its con
centration. ThisintcUcctuhl:,energy ivould,
iu any station, carry him n 1 great way on
the path of prosperity ; and it would, per
haps, he ini practicable to a late his career
unless by an aggregation ot'interinftigling
dilHculttes which seldom o* jcitr in tlic ad
ministration of public affni.fs.
Andrew Jackson is not a diplomatist,
in the writing sense of the vford, His ge
nius delights in pure 'demonstrations, add
does not search for funtnisticnl conceits.
With him, the fascinations tf style arc like
the embroidery ofn garment or the music
of an army. They are pleasant, but hy
no means essential to utility or force o'
operation. General Jack im has no ob
jection to them. He evein admires them.
—But they enter not into the elemeius
of his calculations. Nogjrtiatioo is not,
with him, a dexterous ein^umter of wits.
He would found it on title interests of
th'e parties, and confide only in the ability
of the nation to enforce wljsit was right.
To sum the whole, Gtnoral Andrew
Jackson possesses a strmig, <liscriminatin . r
faculty of perception; a clrttir judgment in
matters immediately libforV hi^p; a sin
gleness and firmness of purjiosu that pur
sues their object with an in i sistiblc inten
sity ; little imagination: no Wanderings or
eccentricities of genius; a warm heart,
and great cordiality of disposition.

XTppn. these delineations, it is not in the
least . surprising that General JnckSon
should have , acquired the reputation of
severity. Every thing that belongs to
Wur partakes/onts nature; anil the Gen

him. YVnr isa business' of carnoge and

very agreeable to contemplate the suffer

his ihteli^ctuaraspect in this particular,

rratcly asserted for him the opposite ex

amiable. Amiability is, in a great mea
sure, the result of education, and appears
to most advantage in whet is denominated
manners. It may be engrafted on a bad
heart; but is mdre consonant to a good
one. General Jackson, like most of those
who wer$.,educated/in."revolutionary times,
has cnjoyodJcw dr none of the ad vantages
of refined accbmplishrnepts. His Strug*

capital have been destroyed, and, ns the
winter is at hand, it is to b« feared that
tlie population remaining will suffer th&
horrors of famine.
The same hurricane has gone over the
northern coast of Jutland, passed Gotton-
burg andStocUholm,sweeping every tiling
in its course. The whole regiment' of
imperial cayahnnier guards, men and hor
ses, havo perished: A vessel of ]00 guns
have completely disappeared; &i)d all tlie
imperial vessclg in the harbor of Cron-
stadt are lost, Burying-grou mis have
been washed away, und the dead bodies
wore floating through the streets. Whole
stores of coffee .find sugar have been des
troyed: those articles have risen 50 pcrceht,
Five leagues round the city of St. Pe-
tefsburgh, have nil been destroyed. With
in a few years, it is a remarkable foot,
that Russia has seen both her capitals
destroyed; oiie by fire, the other by water.
