cured Tor the education Of the destitute orphans OF
New Orleans is estimated near million OF dollars
much OF II consists in unnproved real estate. that

this ample provision will be doubled. Mr. Milne

bis life in city. To his native town of Fochan

OLD JACKSON DOCTRINE.

The following extract from Que of Gen. Jackson's
Messages, will show very plainly whether his sue
cesso. is redeemiug his pledge to follow in the
tootsteps'-lt will do more il will show with what
facility certain politicians "sut their doctrines
TO the varying hour" and still always claim to be
ortlodor while they brand heretics all who are
not endowed with the same happy facility Of she'd
ding their skins:
1t is against the genius of our free institutions
TO lock up IN vaults the treasures oftle nation. To
take from the People the right of bearing arms,
aud to put their weapons of defence in the
hands OF standing army. would scarcely be
more dangerous 10 their liberties, than per
init the Government to accumulate an immense a.
mount of treasure beyond the supplies necessary
TO ITS legitimate wants. Such treasure would
doubtless be employed at some time, as il has been
IN other countries, when opportunity tempted amui-
ton"
Now, if it was =" Democratic Republcanism" in
1884, to denounce the system of =" locking up the
public treasure in vaults" how does it come about
that it is Federalism in 1888 10 oppose that system
