be impaired to the government, we therefore hope
and would recommend that Congress would at the
present session, pass some measure like the EXche-

of General Jackson, we highly appreciate and com
mend tie recommendation Of President Tyler to
Congress TO reimburse the fine of thousand dollars
imposed upon hun by Judge Hall. at New Orleans
for an allege violation of the civil law, for an act
which believe to have been necessary for the de-
fence of the city, and imposed just after that victory
in which he gained those imperishabe aurels which
the President justly says placed the of Gener.
Jackson among those of the greatest Captains of the
age, and illustrated of the brightest pages of our

so generally throughout the country a spirit Of
concession, compromise and union among lis menu
bers in reference TO the selection of candidate for
the Presidency in 1874 and the willingness to submit
the claims of all the candidates to the umprage of
national convention. That we hold it necessary 10
