| "A VOICE FROM THE HERMITAGE DIS
r -,ssa3 " mss ..,s TRlCT.s, $500 MN rs5..
We published in our daily paper of Thursday
las well as in to-day s weekly the speech OF
Mr.. Peyton, who represents the district in which
General jackson resides upon the Fine Bill, and it
will strike the people as rather singular that the
voice of the people of that distric, does not call
for the refunding Of the Fine that they consider
the submission of General Jackson 10 the deci-
sion of thee as more honorable to him than
the gaining Of the victory at New Orleans, and
the demand now made for the repayment ofthe
money, as furnishing the glory Of the act. Mr.
Peyton very justly remarked, that those who
had taken 1t upon themselves to become the pc.
culiar keepers Of General Jackson's fame, in
asking Tor the money, are striking down one Of
i the proudest monuments of his glory "But,''
said Mr. Peyton, s'in Gods name, if they want
1.-The money, let them have it" Mr.. Peyton
tjustly characterized MIR. Van Buren, as a branch
1of mistletoe," that owed its elevation, lis
growth, and its very existence, to the tall trunk
OF an aged hickory. asa a4lsia PIG ji3L

the great interest the Globe man feels in the
subject. The serpent and goose. when pro-
yoked, always utter the same sound "a hiss,
