GENERAL JACKSON.

Not long since. the Philadelphia Gazette,
on tho authority Of somebody who proved to
be bad authority. announced that Andrew
Jackson had bid the world COED night, and had
closed his long and varied career, to awai, the
judgment Of posterty. In consequence of
this error divers obituary notices Of the Ey-
President have appeared. and among others
one in the Montreal Courier, the editor Of
which being himself soldier felt called upon
to discuss at large the character Of the hero of
New Orleans. The snbjoned extract shows
the nature Of il. and will doubtless be read with
Observation-Disclosures.

that General Jackson has paid the debt OF ma
ture.-There cannot be said to be much love for
the General in Canada, for mankind do not feel
much affection, usually, for those who have
thrashed them. and General Jackson did. GER
iainly give tho % British" sound, or what his
countrymen would call, "a first rate" thrashing
at New Orleans. Our people talk great deal
about cotton bags. and disches, and the abomi-
nabIy awkward position Of our troops, on the
day so memorable among our neighbors, the
9Th of January. lSl5,-aDd IL is easily explain
ed Why they did so. because we all like TO as
sign rood reasons when we are thrashed: 'tis
( a foible Of a man. but il would be better To
come out manfully, and acknowledge the
ihrashbg, without making wry faces about the
matter. The great Being never gave US pa
