of the New York militia to cross the line to Canada,
under the influence of constitutional scruples, was
quite as worthy of summary punishment as the de-
termination to go home, the part OF those militia
who were shot yet we do not recollect that any Of
them were put to death.
In short, we are altogether opposed to shooting
militia men, unless in eGtTeme cases. We are not

have no idea of any four or five Of our militia off

may please them to put on our duty on theirs.
We believe, it is true that may occur for the
application of martial law, in all its rigor: to

case of Harris and his associates was such case.
The recoections of the Colonel Of the disahected
Regiment are no doubt faithfully stated, according
to his present impressions. His testimony, however,
is of sort Of value in determining the question
to the necessity of executing these men. Nothing
but the evidence and proceedings on the trial can SET

on the friends of General Jackson, to publish an
exact transcript of the record in each Of these six
cases, since it has been brought by them into pub

The Sic Militia 11aa.-We copy Circular pub
1ished by Committee of the personal and political
trends Of Gen. jackson, at Nashville, for the Pur-
pose of vndicating him from several of the objec-
tons which have been made to his election to the
Presidency.
1t is now acknowledged, and justified, that sac
militia men were shot, during the late war, ut one
time, for desertion, under circumstances which 1t
appears to u.s. ought certainly tohavc spared their
lives. They were detailed, it seems, fora months
tour of duty, but took up impression that three
months was the term beyond which they, were, not
Obliged to serve and that the attempt to Keep them
embodied longer was an unauthorized act; and, OF
course, an usurpaton of their rights. Exactly at
the expiration of the three months, they marched OFT
in body, as it is stated by Colonel Pipkin, OF at
least two hundred men, halloong and firing on their
guns as mitia-men are very apt to 40 at the close
of term of service, or at the end OF days mus
terine. OF these men, number were afterwards
taken, and brought to trial. Where they were taken
is not stated in the testimony in the former rumour
of the particulars of this case which we could not
then bring ourselves to believe, it was stated that
these very men, becoming sensible OF their error,
had returned, or were returning, to camp, at the
time of their apprehension Six of them were de-
liberately condemned to be shot, by court martial
held three months afterwards, whose proceedings IN
one of the cases are now published.

MR.. JEFFERSON'S OPINION.
From the National Journal.

In late Louisville Advertiser it is stated that coz
lionel Trimble, in addressing his constituents in
Kentucky, produced a certificate from Lewis Will
liams, a member of congress from North Caroline,
stating that governor Coles, Of Illinois, asserted in
his presence, that he heard MIR. Jefferson say
after the late presidential election, ''that General
Jacksons extraordinary run, zvas eusdence that
the republic oUould NOT stand long" The louisville
Advertiser states that this is barefaced iasehood
The editor of the Richmond Wing corroborates the
statement Of Mr.. Williams, affirming IS that if re-
lates MI Jetfersons opinions, as he expressed 1t to
one or more of his friends at different times after j.
became evident that general Jackson had strong
party in the United States, who were willing to make
him president 1t was related to the editor of the
Richmond Wing by gov. Coles himself, during his
visit to Richmond last winter, and by other gentle-
men of integrity, and, says the editor scan be abun
dainty established" and is in the following terms
that, during long public life, he (Mr. Jefferson)
had attentively watched the progress OF events In
the United States, with the particular view OF sa-
tisfyng his mind, that Mankind were competent TO
self government, to believe which, his principles in
clined him and that, during his whole political OBJ
servatior, the disposition of the American people
to elect general Jackson president, was the single
circumstance which had shaken his faith, and made
him fear that the American republic soon to fol-
low the fSte of all others, and to fall under military
rule. ="

Important Mercantile Information.


We are in debted to the polieness of gentle
man of this city, for the following letter from his
correspondents, in Montreal, announcing and i'm
portant decision of the parliament of Canada favor
able to the flour trade between the provinces and
this country. gas.
Montreal, 18th Mag, 1927.
SIR: We hasten to inform you that upon an APP
pication made by the most respectable merchants
of Quebec and Montreal, to the government and
council for permission to import flour from the Uni
ted States by land OF inland navigation, to go into
bond for export to the West Indies, a decision is
made permitting this trade and orders will be Civ
en- immediately at the ports OF entry at the Coteau
Ju Lac and ST. Johns accordingly.
The effect Of this is, that the importer or con-
sgnee here gives bonds at the port of entry that
the flour shall go into the kings warehouse to re-
main there till sold for expectation, actually ex-
ported to some Of the British West India Islands ;
md when thus shipped, the bonds are cancelled,
and on its arrival in the West Indies, it only pays
shilling stg per barrel, duty, or may at any
time be taken out of boAd and sold for consumption
in this country, or for shipment to any place other
than the West Indies, by paying the duty here OF
five shillings sterling per barrel
Montreal is not yet appointed as warehouslng
port and until it is (Which will soon be the case as
also Kingston in Upper Canada), flour coming in
from the states in bond must be re-shipped TO Cue
bee, there to go into the warehouse till sold
ported to the West Indies. But the expense Of
warehousng will be little if any more than if stored
here; and we can have no doubt that -four so ST.
tuaed will sell for export to the West Indies at a:
high price as of the same quality of Canada -four
into one shilling sterling per barrel.
We are writing out circular comnuncat
ing this and other important commercial information
received by way of the river st. Lawrence from
ENGLAND of as late date as the 18th of April.
We quote superfine flour 27s. Cd eos. pc

NEWSPAPERS IN ScHooLs.--We have, for seve-
raj years past, occasionally noticed a paragraph,
going the rounds" in favor of introducing News
papers into Schools Within few days we have
observed another, copied from the Saratoga Cent?
mel. That there might be good selection Of news
papers for such purpose, and that the introduction
of them into schools would have a very beneficial
effect, there c;n be little doubt But we have no.
ticed nothing in the various paragraphs on the sub
ject, to the particular character of the papers.

if he can, parallel between Washington and Jack
son! You might as we'll say that "chalk is like

been known, that Washington was statesman OF

the opinion Is not singular one, that he performed
for his country, in the capacity of statesman, SER
vices which other could then have perform
