GENERAL JACKSON.

We observe that the Tory papers through
out the country are making great clamor
because Congress does not remit the fine OF
one thousand dollars imposed upon "Old
Hickory" in 1915, by Judge Hall of New
Orleans. But, if il would not be imperti-
nent, we should like TO enquire why these
benevolent gentlemen did not remit the fine
themselves, when they had large majorities
in both branches of Congress, and when there
was surplus in the National Treasury of
roRrY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, under the glo-'
rious dynasty of the "graccful philosophe r
of Undertook. Every word of ccnsure and
rebuke applied by the Tories to the present
Wing Congress for not refundIng this fine
may be ,rclorted upon them with hundred
fold more justice and force. For the Treas
ury is now empty and the Government en-
barrasscd by hcavy debt contracted by the
Tories themselves, whereas when Van Burer
took the reins the Government was free from
debt and the Treasury was full to overflow
ing. Again we ask if the Wigs are blame
worthy for not refunding this fine to the ole
General in the present embarrassed condi
ton of the Government, how much more arr

o. The sweet little honey who writes
editorials for the Sentinel, seemed to be a
little nettled last week because we published
an extract from the report of Mr. PorNDEx-
HoW and Butler, the two most conspicuous
saints in the democratic party. BY publish-
ing those extracts we did not intend 20 vouch
for the correctness of Mr. P.'s report in cv-
every particular. On the contrary, we have
no doubt it is erroneous in some respects
but we have as yet seen no evidence that
the portion we copied fortnight ago is not
strictly correct in every item aud TO the very
letter. We have no doubt that it is so. 1t
deals in particulars, gives names and dates
and extracts from Hoy,'s official letters, and
carries on its face the evidence of its truth
and it will require better authority than the
| Sentinel to convince as that it is erroneous
! We are concerned however TO see our amia-
| bic neohbor exhibit so much excitement or
the occasion. The little darling seems to be
loosng his temper. He applies some hare
words to US which he will be ashamed o
when he gets to be little older. We hav,
always treated the young man well and it i

names. Keep cool, Dana,-be a good ho

C@Thc Apporlionment Bill is still under
discussion in the Senate. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that the ratio fixed by the House will be
altered. Some favor much smaller body
than this will give, while few are in favor
of larger. Benton exhibits his democracy
by clamoring for the country to support a
bear-garden of four o: five hundred Nom.
bers, thus evincing at the same time his anx.
iety for economy, and his profound poliica
sagacity. Each member handed in to til,
