GEN. JACKsoNs FINE.

this old veteran failed getting his fine restored 70 him
The following ffomihe Globe shows how they failed:
The FederaLpary in the Senate to day contrived to
defeat the biIl intended TO remove the stigma Of the lu
dcia censure on General Jockson tor his conduct at
New Orleans, while voting Tor it almost IN body. |
The State Legislatures in the resolutions Which bTot
this bill into Congress- evidently show Their Plpose OF
iustifyng the course ofthe General in declaring martial
law at New Orleans. They demanded that the fine
should be restored 10 vindcaie his fame from the as
persion Of the judicial sentence; this was the scope cf
the whole proceeding inlhe State Legislatures and IN
Congress, For the last two days. the effort in the Sem
ate has been to stick amendments to the bill which by
implication, would put an Interpretation on the act,
that the body Passing it did mean 10 take into cons
sideration the right or wrong ofthe Judicial conviction
ofthe General but simply to return the money as re-
mission Of ne-as an act ofgrace TO an old man, who
might choose leave the pecuniay earnings oi his LIE
10 his family rather than in the public Golfers who
would take it even coupled with the expression that
the Government resgning, it, was not content 10 say
nothing about the judicial sentence imposing i as the
penalty of crime, bu: with the declared understanding
that the sentence, although brought into view by the
BILL was matter that Congress would express no o.
pinion upon. This was an oblque, but most striking
implication that the Judge was right in his decision, q
that the Geuerals course was not Inshable; because
Congress- in effect excluded that conclusion. Mr. Ar
cher hostile as he is 10 General Jackson said that this
was an insult to him which he would vote for. Il
could not, therefore be expected that his friends would
doit. The bill was rejected; every democrat voting
against 1.-THE federaisis, in the main. for it II was
hoped by us that General Jackson's adversarles would
seize the occasion to evnce amagnanmity above party

ven drink of water. in the last feverish moments Of
exhausted nature. without putting poison in it"

TO do him Justice. The time will come, when Feder-
asm shall not add insult to injury, and !asen them on
the character Of such man as Jackson. As the New
Era says the example set to Legislatures by those Of
Ohio and New York, will, we are con6dentbs prompt
" initiated by ths Connecticut Legislature now in ses.
sion, and by those ofevery State redeemed from Feder
al lthraldom, as they successvey meet. Aopposi;ion
must give way before such expression Of public
ment and full though iardy, expiaton ofa great ju
dical iniquy, at no distant day, we persuaded will
prove to the hero Of Orleans that national gratitude
grows intense as years pass over that event,
which form the nobes theme for American historians.
BANK OF ST. CLAIR.-This Bank does not pay
Specie and its notes are not taken at the Masson
Wooster Banks. The community should repudiate all
non.specie paying Bank notes, and drive them from
circulation The Massillon Gazette, (Whig) speaking
| ofthe St. Clair Bank, says:
We are glad to see the Farmers refuse the notes Of
this Bank for their produce There isnouse in rece-
wing such trash, when good money is just as easily to
be got at. We 60 against paper circulating cur
rency upon which specie cannot be obtained except ut
most rascay rate Of exchange We again say that
confidence in specie paying Banksis all that is neces-
airy to enable have good currency, equal, at all
times, to silver"
That's the right way to talk, and tive are glad to
see al least wing paper coming to its senses on
Banking matters. But what contrast between the a.
bove and the miserable slang ofthe wing paper in this
county in favor Bank suspensions and suspended bank
paperl Ever since the Ohio banks resumed that paper
has endeavored to destroy Confidence, abused
the Legislature that passed the resumption law. and
done its utmost TO mako the people believe there was
no ''goOd moue obe had. These have been his hob
bies deceive the people with, but it's co. and we
advise the Advocate readers to be ready turn sharp
corner shortly. The election is coming on and Judas
wants to keep the county printing; consequently he
will again go for specie paying banks, aud perhaps tell
you that the wings in the last legislature passed the Re-
rumption law Mark it if he does not.
PROGRESS OF RESUMPTION-We learn by
the Now Orleans papers, that the 5anks of that city
agreed Ito resume specie payments on the 18th May
The papers are in great gee about it They call it
glorious victory, &C., aud well they may.
In Illinois, the resumption ball is rolling on, as may
be by the following notice published BY the Bank
Of Illinois:
