EDWARDSVILLE NOVEMBER 12, 1825.
The only paper in which we have yet seen Gen. Jackson's letter to the legislature of Tennessee, is mislaid. Our readers will be pleased to exercise patience until we obtain another copy--when it will appear in our columns.
The President of the United States has lately paid a visit to his venerable father, at Quincy, Massachusetts. His journey was without parade, and, though with some difficulty, he declined those public testimonials of respect which the inhabitants of the several cities wished to give him; but has received daily instances of individual hospitality. To us, who are accustomed to the plainness of republican manners, there is nothing in this surprising: But, to the subjects of legitimates, who dare not stir without guards, and who will not move without the gaudy trappings of royalty, it must appear strange that the Chief Magistrate of a great people, should travel through the country as a private citizen--rest at inns, and mingle with the common people on terms of perfect equality. Such is our government.
