Bailey would make it much to the interest of such as wish to
commence that business to purchase the whole together
v> ith the lease of the premises now in Isis possession, if pre
ferred. To a person with moderate capital tile advantages
of this position would be very obvious; there being only
three establishments of the kina in Macon, and these hut of
limited mems and extent The field is fully open for an ex
tensive trade not on'y in the city hut with the finest and

ORATION
On the Life and Character of ANDREW JACKSON,
here to mingle our sorrows over his tomb. Far be It from #
me to strike a string which ttlay Wake a note of painful dis
cord in the harmony of our common grief.
Felltrv.citizen*, allow me to bespeak your patience in ad
vance. not for iny stake, but for the nake of tne subject and
the occasion. To appreciate the character and services of
General Jackson, it becomes necessory ot the hazard of te
diousness. to take n rapid glance at some of the prominent
occurrences of his eventful life.
Its diwn, though not brilliant, is nevertheless interesting

when our political horizon began to be skirted with the
cloudsof our Revolution. The paternal estate being sufli-

mother attempted to educate, beyond the rudiments cf the
English tonsue. Her pious heart consecrated him in child-
ho *d to God and she designee! him for the elevated and n. •
blc office of the Gospel ministry.—Napoleon once asked,
; •• What is wanting that tlie youth of France may be edu-

this sense Andrew Jackson truly had a mother,— not per

as almost the last link that connected us with the virtuous

to the service of his country, none doubted that he lored her

Andrew Jackson seems to have had no further connexion
with the act ve toils of the revolution. But he drank deep
ly of its spirit; and by witnessing the inaneovures and ev
olutions of some of our most skillful commanders, he ac
quired lessons in warfare, which availed him in his subse

and completed his education, as far as the times a:; i his

the continued counsel of General Jackson would have been
exceedingly valuable. Who if it bad been possible to have
retained them, would ha v e dispensed with his well matured
opinions upon these subjects? No man in the United Slates
possessed such unbounded popularity and sway, o^ar the
public mind. His approbation would have given strength
to the government, in any course of policy which it may
adopt, iti reference to our intercourse with foreign powers.
It would have rallied to its support, with additional enthu
