Difference between Jacksonism and
Yam Burenism.

The difference between these two
ssms is daily more manifest. Every
hour accumulates proof that General
Jackson cannot transfer his populari-
ty to his favorite. Let few facts be
stated in evidence.
Tennessee, which was nearly unan-
in,ous for General Jackson himself,
DECLINES 10 be transferred to his favor
tie.
North Carolina four years ago con-
tanned Jackson majority offully TO-
900. She has just renounced the favor.
tie by a majority Of A 600.
Alabama was even more unanimous
for General Jackson than Tennessee.
SO was Mississippi. So was Indiana.
All three are opposed to Mr.. Van b.
rem.
The Jackson majority in Pennsyl-
vania was $4,000. 1t is believed that
General Harrison will carry that State.
The majority if not annibilated, is re-
duced to mere handful.
10 Ohio the Jackson majority was
about 1o,ooO-Harrison's majority al
the lowest computation, will be 10000
"a difference of 10000.
In Kentucky, Mr.. Clay himself was
unable to carry the State for Mr.. ADJ
ans in 1928, and carried it for him
self in 1882, by meagre majority.
Harrison's majority there,will be from
10 to 10000.
In Missouri the change has been un-
doubtedly very great.
In Georgia, General Jackson,s ma
jority was fully 10000. His favor
ite ,0iH lose the State !
in the single county OF Clarke, In
diana, there has been change against
Van Buren, Of GOO votes 10 one year.
His friends the last year were elected
by 400, and defeated this, by 200 ma
iority. These facts are not less ascsr-
tanned than powerfully significant.
They show the direction popular o.
pinion 10 taking, and how easy thing
it is to beat the favorite ! Were the
election Of President without the inter-
vention Of Electors-were the Wings
to run only one candidate,say General
Harrison, and the collective polls Of
the United States to decide the event,
we verify believe Gen. Harrison would
be chosen by one hundred thousand
mo;;or;tv a. the least. 1t may, the
reader knows, be SO, and yet Mr.: Van
Buren, might be chosen BY T., the elee'o-

tits stated 10 the Army and Navy
Chronicle that the late Col. Heilsmaan
insured his life TO the amount of 5000
dollars in the Life Insurance Office in
this city. By the judicious appropri-
alton Of small annual sum. this gal
liant officer has thus been enabled to
make provision to the amount stated,
for his otherwise dependent widow and
six children. --BaA. paper.

THE lastofsAs Romans. This was
said of Madison at the time Of his &C.
cease, but there is one other person
who has some claims TO this honorable
distinction. Paine Wingateof Stralham,
N. H., still survives. He was born 10
May 1889 was member OF the old
Continental Congress, and, with John

Constitution. He received the honors

Judge Wingate, for some years, has been
the. only one alive in his class, and a
number of classes succeeding. FOR
many years he vas Judge of the supe-

1864 he married the sister of Timothy
