The District Telegraph and State Sentinel,
an independent and spirited Republican paper,
published at jackson, Tennessee, has an arti-
Gle favoring the selection Of Mr.. Rives as a
suitable candidate for the office of President
of the United States. We make the following
extracts from it.:
MR. RIvES T..
Last week trc suggested The name of his gentleman
toeN arorhy the su6rages Of the people Of Tennessee
in The ensuing Presidential contest. We did so be-
believe that his sentiments approach
nearly to the views of majority in this State, than any
other OF the prominent individuals whose names have
been spoken Of for that high station. Mr. Rives is
gentleman and scholar Of high attainmens, and has
private and political character that is only pure but
unsupported He yet young man, but has already
given evidence of political talents and sagaciy OF the
first order His conduct in France in relation to the
indemnity question, in opinion proves most unques-
tionahly, his ability statesman, he brought
favorable termination negotiation in which govern
ment had been unsuccessiuy engaged for twenty years
At this time with Mr. Tallmadge and others, he
cuples position in politics. which enables him to act
either sde his conscience dictates him. with
out being ram,nclcd and governed BY the party feel
ings which unfortunately control many Of his cotem
poraries. Mr. Rives' speech against the Sub-reasury
scheme, Of the ablest that made, and in
fact, in great degree, the basis upon which the
balance were built. Mr., Rives is republican of the
school with Madison and Monroe; advocating
such construction Of the Constitution will avoid the
danger Of consolidation the hand, and the
other, will protect Us from the evils of disunion.
On the whole then, taking the sentiments and opinions
Of Mr., Rives, together with his acts, satisfied
that he is less oxcep,onabe than other Of the
ny individuals whose claims have been urged upon the
community. AS Wing we should not have any fear
that Inv him would he likely puuanpcr
the safety Of the country many Of Wing brethren
have already evinced willingness to support Mr. Tall
madge, with the same political sentiments, for the Vice
Presidency. ....

WHAr's IN A NAME f--The truthof
the following story is vouched for nsuch
excellent authority, that we must COM
municate it for the benefit of the amia-
bic veteran Of the Hermitage: h.r)
A trimlittle coasting schooner belong
ing to a certain'port in Connecticut was
launched q few years since, bearing the
name of .Andrew Jackson.' Whether
the owners so far followed in the foot
steps Of the illustrious Commodore Eli
ott as to attach to herla figure head of
the Hero of New Orleans, we have not
yet ascertained. But for year or two
her voyages were tolerabiy prosperous.
Latterly, however, she has been unable
to obtain any freight on account Of the
unpopularity Of her cognomen: and
though ssound and well conditioned,
nobody will ship by her. " The conse-
quence has been, that her owners have
been compelled to let her lie idle. % ~
A short time since, gentleman from
Boston who wished to purchase coast
ing craft, arrived the port where the An
drew jackson was lying. A neat little
schooner was offered him for sale., He
was much pleased with her appearance
and well satisfied with the terms Of sale
proposed. The bargain seemed abou,
10 be clinched, when, unlnckily for the
owner, the gentleman had the curiosity
to look under stern Of the vessel. The
fatal words General Jackson met his
eyes. He started back, and seemed
very suddenly to change his views in
relation to the purchase. In conclusion
- there was so much in a name in this
instance, that the owners missed the op.
pertunity Of finding a good purchaser.
I'VE learn that they would be glad to
petition the requisite authorities for q
change ofname, if they had any hope ol
having their very request complied with
by Loco Congress. But should bill
be even got through Congress, they are
in despair when they think Of the veto
power, and OF Martin Van Buren's pro-
mise to walk in the footsteps Of his pre-
decessor. Really, the case is a hard
one. - Boston Atlas. 10 f&olas 3tt
