Major DAvEzAC, who served under General
JACKSON at New Orleans, has sgnalized the
restoration Of the Democratic party to power in
the Empire State, by motion which does
honor to him, in proving the enduring and
grateful enthusiasm with which he cherishes
the renown Of one Of the nations greatest ben
efactors. The resolution will, We trust, in its
adoption, make it apparent that the Democra-
cy generally enter into all the noble sympa-
,hies which have prompted the mover Of it,
The Journal of Commerce thus notices the pro-
ceeding to which we allnde:
"GEN. JACKSON. In the New York House
Of Representatives, on Friday last, Mr.. Dave
zac, of this city, moved resolution calling on
Congess to pass law refunding TO General
Jackson with interest and costs, the fine Of ST..
600, imposed on him by the Judge Of Louisa-
ma district in 1916, for an alleged offence a.
gainst the authority Of said Judge. The qnes-
ton whether the resolution should be conider-
ed, was or Saturday decided af1irmatively,
yeas 81, noes 37-uearly party vote. The
consideration of the resolution was then. at the
request Of the mover, postponed until Monday.
We do not doubt that it would be highly
gratifying to General Jackson to see the fine
imposed by malignant Judge, upon the self
devotion which hazarded every thing personal
in suspending by martial law, the civil author
ity, topreserye city and country. which were
about to be betrayed. pronounced against by
that posteriiy, which now appreciate properly
the conduct Of the General and the Judge
General Jackson may be considered as having
in fact, passed from the stage oflife, although,
from the retreat Of his Hermitage, he can still
look abroad, as if from another world, and see
and sympathize in all that concerns nation. in
the conduct Of whose affairs he no longer takes
part. To him nothing that pertains to pecu-
MARY interests has any Importance; but loving
fame as he does, cherishing sabove all things
any proof Of the good opinion and affection of
the American people. we are persuaded that
nothing could give him greater pleasure than
to have the blot, put upon his escutcheon by
judicial attainder, removed by the higher au-
thorties of the whole country.
The debate on the resolution is thus descri-
bed by correspondent Of the n. Y. Herald:
Mr.. DAvEzAc delivered his long looked
for speech to-day, to crowded auditory
There were more ladies present than ever
remember to have seen in the House before
The MAJORS bursts Of enthusiasm, as he be-
came wrought up by the theme, was responded
to with loud applause from the galleries and
Hobbies, which it was impossible for the Spea-
ker's maifet to control. The speech was
most glowing description of that glorious e.
vent, which filled the measure Of our country's
battle Of New Orleans. Never
before has an audience listened to such a vivid
and eloquent description of that memorable
event, rendered doubly interesting from the
fact that one Of the most prominent actors in /
it, the only one, with singls exception. Of
Jackson's Aids now surviving, was. Zenophon
like, himself the historian. Recounting as he
did in so graphic and forcible manner, the
scenes attendant en- that memorable day-de-
scribing the noble and gallant commander
the city overwhelmed with CONSERVATION and
alarm, and the city again overcome and radi-
ant with joy-the triumphal arches-the crown
Of laure!s bestowed by the lovelest Of the Ia.
dies-the cheers and welcome Of the grateful
and joyant people. Then came the contrast OF
the arrest and fine, and nob!eness ofcharacter
as evinced in his interposal between his cow
ardlv judicial assailant, and the justly aroused
popular wrath. The resolutions will, should
Judge from the indications to day, be adopted
by reclamation.
IS Besides this, there was little of importance
done in either house,"
