(r.-The Wings IN Congress refused to pay Gen.
Jackson back the $1,000 fine, imposed upon him by
Judge Hall, Tor the defence of New Orleans, and
the same men propose pay to Gen. Hull, who
was condemned to be shot for treason, his salary
as Governor OF the territory of Michigan after he
had surrendered and while 1t actually under
the government Of Great Britain. This shows in
full the spirit Of Whggery at least the spirit
Of its leaders, who a heart royalists well as
aristocrats. The following, from the New Era,
expresses our own sentiments

Yes, this clan of the old man, vino, soldier
and a statesman, has served his country with more

we say, 10 be released from a paltry fine, the
amount of which he did not for, but the appar-
ent disgrace of which he felt deeply, was, dcliber-
ately rejected.
But what did this same committee propose on
Tuesday last Why, they reported bill to the
Senate pay TO the legal representatives. OF Gen
eral William Hull claims for service from the time
OF his arrest for the surrender OF Michigan in 1872
up to his trial IN 1913. Now this Hull was trail

his treachery. lie voluntarily surrendered TO the
British the whole territory o: Michigan, an act
which then covered him with namy that still con

We rejoice that Mr.. Calhoun, with nobeness

'lIc was, he said, surprised that the same COM
mttce from which this matter came, should have
