A good deal of our space is occupied this week
with very interesting speech of Mr.. Walkup,
delivered on the 4th of July last, in Union Comfy
Besides the usual topics discussed in such address
les, Mr. Walxup touches new theme-one of pc
culiar interest to North Carolnans, and the citi-
zcns of Meckfenburg in particular. He proves,
beyond controversy, we think. that Gen. Andrew
Jackson was boIn in North Carolina, and not in
South Carolina, as most historians SET it down.
The facts stated by Mr.. Walkup are not new to
US. Several years since we heard them substan-
tally repeated by some Of the old citizens of the
Waxhaws. That Gen. jackson was born at
George McCamies, in Mecklenburg, is beyond
doubt, and susceptible of the clearest proof But
even admitting that he was born at Crawford's, as
has heretofore been said by historians, Cra,1tord
then Iioea IN North Carolina; and was cut off to
South Carolina inn1S13 by the new line then run.
But even ifhe had been born on South Carolina soil
his mothers residence was in North Carolina, there
was her home, and from the soil and climate of old
Meckenburg sprung the greatest General and states
man Of modern times, if not the greatest, Qhe two
combined, J the world eversaw. Where isthe Coun-
ty in the Union, save old Mecklcnburg, that has
produced two Presidents-and two such as ".Old
Hickory and {: Young Hickory 2"
