the whole country, and the moderate
means of Gen. Jackson, was-, (.olase no
harsh term) extravagant; and the great in
dignation ofa reop'e overflowing with grate
itude to the savicr; of their altars and fire
sides, was onlirqueiled by the manly and
determined rebuke of Gen. - Jackson, who
was hims°lf the first to obey - the authorit)
of that iribtrnal, which, in a free country,
'must be superior to all military power,
Your committee have felt some liesita
Sion as to the propriety of refering to a
'subject which has been made the theme of
mos) fierce and bitter denuuciatiou against.
General Jackson, viz: the interruption, by
a detatchment of troops under his com.
errand, of the sittings or the Legislature of
Louisiana, on the 28th December, 1814:
but this matter has been so generally con
nected, in discussion, with his refusal to
obey the writ of habeas corpus, that were
your committee to pass it unnoticed, it
might be considered a tacit admission of
the correctness of the censures that have
been lavished upon it.
They will dispose of it by a single refer
eace,to an authority, which will scarcely
be called in question. On the sth day of
January, 1815. a joint committee of three
members of the House and two of the Sen.
ate was appointed to investigate the cause
of the military measures employed against
the General Assembly on the 28th Decem
dor, 1814. The committee was eomposcd
of Messrs. Blankque, Sutton, and Deblanc,
on the part of the [louse, and Messrs.
Dent and Mazereau, on the part of the
Senate, opi esented a report, which was
adopted Gth February, by both Houses ;
which, with all the documents annexed,
was directed to be ienmeliarely made and
sent, by the Secretary of the Senate, to
Major General Andrew Jackson. At.. page
28 of this report, it is said; .The end for
which the General Assembly appointed
this committee was to inquire for what
cause or what proof, the military of der
suspending the sessions of the Legislature
was given on the 28th of December. Now
the commit:ea do not hesitate to pr o claim
that there never existed nits' cause that
could justify such a me sure; that these
.orders were given wohout and proof what
ever in a word, that there never was so
violent a step taken with so little grounds;
but, at the same time, with pie sure pro.
claim also this truth, that the orders which
were given and executed, never proceeded
from the mouth of General Jackson.'
It has been confilentl v a.s..rted on the
floor of Congress that the fine of 81.000
had never been paid by General Jackson.
but that the sum had been pail by volun•
tary contributions of the citizens of New
Orleans. The evidence herewith presen
ted completely refutes this charge, which
could only hava been dictated by the most
malignant and prejudiced motives.
In conclusion, your committee beg leavN!
to present the accompanying documents,
and recommend the adoption of this re
port widt,*.following resolutions:
Resoinanirtnnittiously, by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the State
of Louisiana, in General Assembly con
vened, Ist. That our Senators in Congress
and members of the llouse of Representa
tives be requested to use their best end vav
Ors to procure the passage of a law to re.
turn to General Andrew Jackson one
thousand dollars, with six per cent. per
annum interest, being the amount of the
—fine imposed on him by Judge 1). A. Hall,
on Friday, the 31st March, IEIS, for an
alleged contempt of court.
2d. That, in case such a law shall not
be passed by the next session of Congress,
the Legislature of this State will direct the
sum of $l,OOO to be paid with interest,
. being, the amount of the fine imposed on
General Jackson by Judge D. A. Hall.
3d. That the Governor be requested to
transmit copies of the above resolutions to
our Senators and Representatives in Con
gress, and to General Andrew Jackson.

assume that I alluded to them partienlarly, when I I
cautioned the public against the old el ahem that
were sent out from the Easteen slop shops to be j

the public applied my caution to these individuals
of not, I am unable so say, but their note shows that ,
they considered the rentarksjappropriate,or why are
they in such haste to publish a defence? For the
truth ofwhat I said in my advertisement, it is only
necessary to read the note of these "birds of pas- j
