But so diversified nnd eventful has been his life, and so conflicting the opinions of . his countrymen ns to the cone<*tness of some of hi*, most I prominent measures, that it is difficult to consider his public services in detail, without wounding the feelines of m-wivj who nre as ready to do honor to his memory, as his most de- * voted friends and warmest admiters.

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 t because attendeil by the developcment, Lt r» Very e*r!y age of those attributes of greatness by which lie achieved eo j much for his country.

The paternal estate being sufli- • cient to afford but little more than a comfortable subsist ence, Andrew was die only one of the sons whom theit* 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- I rated ?"—" Mothf.rs,'* replied Madame Champau. In this sense Andrew Jackson truly had a mother,— not per haps possessing the embellishments of polished education— but a mother of strongly marked character, endow ed wiili a vigorous mind and a heart, the seat of cl! the virtue:: wiiicn adorn woman most.

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 quent career. Having regained his health, he resumed and completed his education, as far as the times a:; i his means would allow.
