SOME CONSOLATION STIT;.

For considerable time, some ofthe Administr,.
ton prints were very much occupied in attempting
to disprove the principal ISLANDERS in the opposition
papers. Thesoccupaton was constant, and the ey.
ertion excessive, in showing the falsity Of their
charges. But the hope of success was soon abau.
doned, as it was that reutation required so much
time and space for facts, dates, and documents than
mere assertions and accusations, which the Opposi,
ton multiplied with so much celerity.
The National lntelligencer, probably the largest
paper in the Union and published daily, has adopt.
ed plan Of simply enumerating some of the lies
of the day." without attempting TO embrace all
which meet the eyes of the Editors. We attempt
ed something OF the kind few weeks ago, and pre-
pared budget taken from prostitu,ed Gazettc :;
but we soon discovered that we should not have
space for them in print as often as they occurred
| and abandoned the project.
! The chief consolation, therefore is--that such
prints have already acquired that character which
will prevent them from doing very serious injury
excepting where people unfortunate as to
have no other means of information, and are so sha-
low pated as not TO be able to distinguish between
fact, argument and probability, and bold and base
less assertion, instgated by malevolence, and haz
arded without remorse.

COMMENTS.
CASE OF JOHN HARRIS.

We abstract from letter written by Mr.. Isaacs,
a personal friend to General Jackson, and member
Of congress from Tennessee, the following account
CT Harris. He was about fifty gears Of age, and
consequently not subject to militia duty had tor
merly been coroner, and, as such, become embar-
rassed had been sued, and a judgement obtained
against him. and three others, his suretes for
hundred dollars, on account Of his delinquencies in
that Office. Being unable to satisfy it, and unwilling
TO involve his friends, he availed himself OF the pro-
visions of law of the State sus pending legal pro-
cess for debt against mihtiamen in active service in
order to delay the execution of the judgement, and
hired as a substitute in the place of man named
Sierr,u-He had WIFE & NINE CHILDREN !;
two of his sons were men, the eldest married and
living near him the second went into the army
with him. Harris youngest child was but four or
tire 1curs otd at the time of his execution. Harris
sometimes attempted to preach. above descrp-
ton of this unhappy man, coming as it does from
such authority, will, we presume, be unquestioned
nv the parza,is of the General, and be admitted as
correct.
Those ofthe public who have watched the move
-nents of the Jacks on Managers, must have observ-
ed that it has always been part of their policy, to
attempt to destroy the credblity of every witness
who has as yet, appeared against General Jackson

ask the attention of all impartial men to the follow

Jackson, in 1915, with those charges preferred b.

to the discovery and conviction of the person or
persons who few nights ago, took from the door
Of the Second Presbyterian Church Marble block,

persons who could commit such wanton act, msst
most likely have been under the influence of liquor
