21To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 29 September 1810 (Madison Papers)
Some of the leading Republicans of Ohio have joined in recommending to you Samuel Herrick Esq of Zanesville to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Creighton District Attorney of Ohio. I am personally acquainted with that Gentleman and ask permission to join my opinion with theirs that he is a man of worth & talents & unquestionable political principles: And it will afford me...
22To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 17 August 1809 (Madison Papers)
I hope you have returned safe back to Montpelier whither the last papers stated you had again set out. As I conjectured and as I wished, I perceive you have by your recent proclamation renewed the non-intercourse with G Britain. Some of the papers particularly the “Enquirer” with more promptitude than discretion, or judgment; pronounced it beyond your powers. It was hoped & expected that Mr....
23To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 8 December 1811 (Madison Papers)
It was very gratifying to learn from your letter that Harrison had arrived at Vincennes without any other rencontre with the indians than the battle near the Prophets town. I greatly apprehended that encumbered by his wounded, & badly supplied with provisions they might follow on his heels & gall his army in the most distressing manner. Their forbearance augurs well of their conduct during the...
24To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 13 September 1810 (Madison Papers)
I thank you with great sincerity for your congratulations on my union with Miss M. Nothing is now wanting to complete my wishes but her introduction to my best friends beyond the mountains, & my restoration to health. The first is dependant upon the last, which has received so severe a shock by my late unfortunate fall that I shall be unable to travel to W-City this year: & hence the necessity...
25To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 19 April 1811 (Madison Papers)
Your favor of the 12th. reached me on the 16th. The preceding day was that of our Election, on which the District turned & I am sorry to say the Federal Candidate obtained a majority of 102 votes—he is elected. Mr. McKinley never was here before & his coming ruined our hopes, as his manners &c are unpopular, & here the People vote for men more than principles. On the morning of the election I...
26To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 29 October 1809 (Madison Papers)
I have the honor to transmit to you the enclosed resolutions, in compliance with the wishes of the officers and privates of the 119th regiment of Virginia militia. I derive peculiar satisfaction from assuring you, that notwithstanding many of the persons who united in the resolutions have been inimical to the last and to the present administration, their hostility is particularly offered up...
27To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 3 August 1801 (Madison Papers)
I received your favor of the 20th. Ultimo by the last mail, and thank you for your kind attention to my Offers with the Post Master General, altho the Contract which I’ve obtained will not be so convenient as the other; I believe however it will turn out to advantage. I am truly sorry to find your opinion confirming the presumption impressed by a perusal of the News-Papers concerning the fate...
28John G. Jackson to Thomas Jefferson, 5 April 1811 (Jefferson Papers)
Judge Nelson who was assigned to this Circuit has resigned his Office, & my friends have procured my consent to become a Candidate for it. The Law requires that his successor shall reside within the Circuit & there is not any person here to dispute my pretentions. I presume the Executive will not deem it good policy to send strangers to us to fill our local offices, for the reason that it...
29To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 8 April 1809 (Madison Papers)
Your favor with the accompanying papers by the last mail reached this place before my return on yesterday from the Ohio, whither I had gone to attend the Elections—those of Wood & Ohio Counties are over, & the result has been as favorable as was expected. Never were so many voters polled in W & O for never were the exertions of My friends & those of Mr. Lindsley my opponent half so great. At...
30To James Madison from John G. Jackson, 19 December 1801 (Madison Papers)
Yours of the 27th. Ultimo covering the preliminaries of a Peace between England & France was duly received by the last Mail. I am at a loss for language sufficiently energetic to express my surprise at the adoption of those Articles on the part of G. B., manifestly dictated by the First Consul especially when I reflect that, that power was among the first to sanction the famous (or rather...
