The Hero IN BAD oDoR.-No man ever had frmer
trends and supporters than Gen. Jackson. His mili
tary glory surrounded his name with dazzling bril-
nancy which the million ever love to gaze upen-

change came. Adversely is test of friendship
which few can stand. In the present commercial
revulsion in which so many stately fortunes have
crumbled in the dust Mr. G. did not escape the fate
OF hundreds Of our citizens who have lost-some the
airy fabrics Of their hastily expanded weah-others
the hardly earned savings of years Of honest in
dustry.
One morning last week. Mr.. G., in the presence Of
his family, gravely approached this heros efgy, and
bowling low with countenance more in sorrow than
in anger thus addressed it
"General-I have loved and honorcd you. For
years lave been your friend and supporter. We
must part 1t is hard to separate from cid and once
valued acquaintances-bu your acts have plunged
me in bankruptcy and ruin. My fortune is gone, and

"Riches take to themselves wings"
This passage evidently alludes to the paper eur
rcncy--the exclusive paper currency, that is
forced down the threats of the bamboozled commu-
nifty. The present stupendcus fraud of an universal
suspension OF specie payments in country, contain
ing specie currency of not less than $50, 600 600;
can be nothing less than fulilment Of some special
prophecy. The god Of this world is cutting his
most devllish capers-mammon has got into
drunken frec-he root Of all evil has sprouted and
budded-and blossomed-and shed its fruit and the
land is filled with its ckaf with which the simple are
deludsd but you can't catch old birds in that sort of
way.
