Jackson did the right thing. President Lincoln did the right thing.

Irrelevant. Your statement assumes that it was absolutely necessary to suspend the writ in the first place (as if he could not seek arrests and simply file charges with them). It is also incomparable to any situation Lincoln ever faced because where Jackson did not have a telegraph and was hundreds of miles away from the capital building, Lincoln DID have a telegraph and was about half a mile away from the capital building.
