Elliot in ordering a statue of President Jackson to be placed on the cutwater of the Frigate Constltu- ton. He says that the subject has been handled ssin many different ways by censo- rious parlizans fer political purposes, whilst politics had no influence in the directions which he gave to the carver--nor are they suffered to have any influence in the Navy Yard.
