They presently met a carriage in which a lady was riding, when, politely taking her from it, the General was made, spite of entreaty, to occupy her place ; the horses being removed, the carriage was drawn on and halted at the coffee-house into which he was carried, and thither the crowd followed, huzzaing for Jackson, and men- acing violently the Judge. Having prevailed upon them to hear him, he addressed them with great feeling and earnest- ness ; implored them to run into no excesses; that if... they had the least gratitude for his services, or regard for him personally, they would evince it in no way so satisfactorily as bj r assenting, as he most freely did, to the decision which had just been pro- nounced against him. " Upon reaching his quarters he sent back an aid-de-camp to the Court-room with a check on one of the city banks for a thousand dollars ; and thus the offended majesty of the law was supposed to be avenged." — Extract from Life of Jackson, pp. 311 to 320, vol. 2. Nine years after, this " military despot," who made the " ar- bitrary arrest," was elected President by the Democracy.
