 She was in perfect order for the oc- casion, and on the Ist October, thew stylc) the imperial steamer, used only for the Emperor, arrived at Cronstadt from his summer palace, at Savaskasillo.- The Governor of Cronstadt immediate ly went in his barge on board the Ken slngton, and announced 10 Capt.

 The Emperor was received by the Captain and his officers in full dress, at the gang-way. When he reached the deck, he raised his cap and bowed gra- ciously to the officers, and gave his hand to the captain. He then commenced a survey of the ship, examining every part, even the hold and spirit room, and made many inquiries that eyinccd a correct idea of; the requisite qualities Of good ship of war,and expressed himself highly pleased with the finish and accommodations. While in the ca bin he was asked to take a glass of wine, he observed, l seldom drink wine, but will on this occasion, and give, < our country, and the officers of this ship.N
 The Emperor noticed a beautiful lit- tie boat, which was taken out as pre- sent to his little son, the Grand Duke Constantine, II years old, and on being informed of this he took the captain by the hand, and observed, "My son is |now small, but will soon, l hope, be d. lble to manage it."

On Tuesday, the Sd day of April, 1882, (being Court
day,) according to notice previously given meeting Of
the citizens of Franklin county, friendly to the re-elec-
ton of Andrew jackson to the Presidency of the United
States, was held at the Court House in the town of
Frankfort whereupon,
On motion,

John T. Davis, and Simon Hubbard, Esq were appint-

On motion, it was by the meeting
Resolued, That we have with great qualification
the proceedings and result of the friends of General
Andrew jackson and Col Richard M. johnson, of
Kentucky, in Convention held at Vandalia on the
fourth Monday of March last for the purpose of select
ing and nominating suitable persons to be suppoted in
this state by the friends of General Jackson for Presi

selection of individuals for that purpose.

name more than. one in the town Of vandalia-|
who properly appreciate the claims OF Col John
SON. but who dread collision with the baltimore
Convention; and it has been to me natter of
great astonishment, that gentlemen so generally
correct, should apprehend any Inconvenience to
the Jackson party from such an event. The wri-
ter of this paragraph has always been OF the o.
Ipinon that that convention was gotten uppy de-
signing politicians, and that it is one OF themany
arrangements set on foot to forward the views of
the individual who is Familiarity ycleped the 'aredt
nnagicidnn But in this do net pretend to leny
that may be mistaken: but of one thing lam
certain, that party men-one of which, thank God,
II am not---can no longer recognize that conv'n-
ton, since several jackson States, among whih
are the great States of Pennsylvania and Virgin
Ia, have refused to do 50, and after large an,
respectable meeting of the citizens OF new OK
Itself. has nominated the Hero OF the Thames.
The friends of Col johnson in Illinois, neiieVe
it to be their solemn duty on this occasion, ii ne
should be supported for the Vice Presidency In
other States, to bestow upon him their suffrages.
They look upon him as well tried friend, who
has served them in times of need--who has re-
| lieved them from embarrassment when they were
borne down with debt--and who has AIDED In
driving the ruthless savages, with tomahawRs ana
lscalping knives still stained with the blood OF cur
innocent wives and children from our then c.
fanceless frontier. If it j. the wish of the adv
Gates of the Baltimore Convention to preserve the
hfeyVie with US, as they say they do, in love and
veneration for C~l. johnson, why not unite upon
him at once; for hey may depend upon it that
the people canno. be gued into the belief that It
is safer to trust the Vice Presidency in the hands
of irresponsible, doubtfu4y and partially author
lied agents, to Senate, emanating from every
State in the Union, over which it is his business
to preside. LYSANDER.

was full; but, as it was question OF great III
portane to the country, and one IN "hich every

were desirous to be present when the flnal ques-

operation to the General Government, out Will
extend its influence into every State. We may
soon expect to hear governors encouraging iiti'
giants in Courts Of Justice to resist the Judgments
Of the law. because they are not reconclleaole
with the Constitution Of the State, and will not
be supported BY the military force under their
command. Suppose, after all this, that General
Jackson permits, in pure condescension, the forms
of Government to exist-what is il but an elec-
tive monarchy, in fact!-a system universally ex.
ploded as productive OF constant violence ana
corruption. I, for one. would thank him to 90
farther, and declare a dynasty. Think me no DC,
alamist: for do not believe that Jackson VIII
live long enough, or has genius vast enough: to
consummate the character Of sanguinary des.
pot: but do contend, that he is transmitting oy
his example to some future incumbent oI office
the temptation and precedent to demolish all con-
stitutonal government. Then, sir, II is time that
such ruinous doctrines should be crushed IN the
bud. Come when the crisis may, believe the
struggle will be bloody one. No man can ever
usurp the rights of born freemen who IS not pre-
pared 60 paw out the blood of his friends like
coin for rich possession; and here, among these
mountains and on these wide plains, will be
found the indomitable sons Of freedom, breath
ing defiance to her enemies. Thousands ct those
whose blind confidence may induce some ambl'
t,ous Caesar to hope for success in his mad pro-
jects, will pause at the first passage OF the Ru.
bicon Of mans awakened rights. But, sir.
am for avoiding such test Of Patriotism, Let
US man the outer wall of constitutional liberty,
and hurl down the first daring invader who shall
ascend its battlements. And seeing. now, the
first dawning of a spirit Of executive encroach-
ment, first duty should be to act pcaccabty In
