THE GLOBE AND THE JUDICIARY.
The editor Of the Globe, speaking Of the pas
sage Of the bill to refund the fine to General
Jackson, by single word, lets out the feeling
which is harbored in his bosom and in that OF the
Locofocos generally towards the Judiciary OF the
country. He says, the bill which has been
pending during two Congresses would have been
passed by the last if this little provlso' to save
the sosred 1.-The italics are the Globe's] character
of the judiciary and to stain that of the venerable
patriot who saved his country in despite OF It,
could have been incorporated in the statute"
Mark the sheer Of the cynic-mark the malev-
olence of the destructive. "Sacred!" Nothing
is sacred with Vandals which stand in their way
which interposes an obstacle to their licentlous
propensities, or the qualification of their passion
for destroying The judiciary Of the country has
long been to them like sunbeam to diseased
eye; it's brightness and purity is standing re-
buke to their rottenness; it is breakwater
against which the waves of Locofocoism have
long dashed with raging fury, but which has hlth-
resisted their force, and said to them, thus far
shalt thou go, and no further. How long this bar
rier may be able to resist the raging element
which beats against il, the future alone can de-

.aTo stain the character of the venerable pa
triot!" This is gross and riltul untruth. The
editor of the Globe knows better. He knows
that those who wished to prevent stigma being
cast upon the memory Of the judge, VINO has long
slept in his grave, had desire to stain the char
acter of General Jackson--that they were willing
to return the fine without raking up from the en-
bers Of time the burning Goals Of past differences
they wished not to disturb the dead or the living
history has. with the pen of TRUTH recorded the
events of that day, and there upon her page they
will stand recorded till time shall be no more.
No one desired to stain" any ones character
but General Jackson himself and his friends the
fine was rendered to him by Wing Congress-
the bill passed by Wing Senate to give him
back the money-they only put in the bill what
General Jackson's own friends declared, namely,
that they did not intend by the bill to cast stg
ma upon the Judge. But no. this would not do
it was not the money General Jackson wanted, it
was-something else. He had been unable to
crafty his desire to be avenged on Judge Hall
while he lived. The judge descended to the
grave, did the Generals hostility cease! Mo-
he still harbsred the feeling he had entertained
ever since the transaction, and nothing would
satisfy him but the casting stigma upon the
memory Of one who had the moral courage,
clothed in the panoply of the law, and represent
ing its majesty, TO brave the power of a military
chieftain flushed with vctory-a victory for which
we give him all honor-with his laurels green
upon his brow-and may they be ever green, and
not be furnished by $50 much trash may be
grasped thus''-and an army at his command
Mr. Peyton, who beat one of "the royal FAM
lily" in the Hermitage precinct, well character
lied the disposition which General Jackson's
friends manifested to pursueJudge Hall even
into the grave, and there to blacken his bones, as
hyena-like. Some of them have disavowed any
such desire, and gladly credit their assertions:
but "the bellows blower OF Democracy has the
unblushing hardihood to avow his desire to dis
turb the bones of the dead He would not vote
for the bill, if he did not think the fine illegally
and unjustly imposed, and he was willing to say
SO in the bill. In other words he was willing to
go to the grave of the judge, dsinter his remains,
and there charge him 18th having acted unjus1y
and illegally So far as the House has acted,
though this is not expressed in the bill, it virtually
holds the same language. and performs the same
act
