In retvisiting the Hermitage to day, !
could not but observe the coihcidencs of
mind between Gen, Washington and Gen.
Jackson in laying out their gardens,
house, yards and pleasure gronnds. Both
exhibit a highly cultivated taste and
great love for rural life and retirement,
though the latter seems 10 have had the
strongest passion for architectural style
and beauty Every thing about the
premises Of eSch show that order and
system, constituted a master feature in
the minds of both those distinguished
Generals and Statesmen. IL the Hermi
tspe had such River as the Potomac
running by it. as the eGtnte Of General
Washington at Mount Vernon has, |
think it would be pronounced superior
to it in bsluly of silu1toa and arrange
ment.
In giving an account Of mylst visit 10 the
Hermitage and describing The monument
erected by Gen. Jackson on tho grave of
bis wife, neglected to state what | was
reminded of to day, and which | will nov
supply: They are surrounded with clr'
cular row of weeping willows, which
were planted by the hands Of Gen. jack

Gov. Polk and his excellent lady haye
been in Nashville the past week. Gov.
P. did not like to come 10 the city during
the sitting Of the Convention, but his
friends very justly insisted upon lho pro-
pristy of his doing SO. Had he not come
10 Nashville, hundreds of strangers would
have heen tp the trouble and expense, in
time and money, OF going out to visit him
at his residence in Columbia, some 4O
miles from Nashville, 80 that, by coming
10 the city, he conferred favor upon
them, without committing the least Polit'
icAl impropriety. Although Gov. Polk
kept himself as much IN retirement as
pralc cable, not attending any oil the Po'
litical gatherings either in the city or al
the encampment, he could not avoid OF
resist the calls Of the people upon him al
his lodgings, as they did very generally
call, to pay him their respects. It, is GER
tain that no public man ever enjoyed the
love and Offectionate attachment OF peo
pie more warmly and deVoledly thar
does Gov. Polk from lhs sterling demOc
racy of Tennessee; for never saw one
more cordially grsetod than they grestst
him. The laboring end productive class
az regard him as the stern, honest, in'
corrup.ibIs, unAlnching champion Ofthei
rights and interests ,Iagainst the grasPln!
cupduy ofths monopolisls, and they vii
sustain him as they are 10 the habit .
sustaining such sound and upright pubIi
men.

TWO DOLLARS A DAY AND ROAST

TWO DOLLARS A DAY AND ROAST
BEEF.
In the wear ighteen hundred and forty,
The song of promised relief,
Which was sung to the poor by the naughty,
Was " two dollars LAY and roast Beet"
Then banners were flying and streaming,
To reason the people were deaf,
They went through the universe screaming.
"TwO dollars day and roast beef"
Medals, ashes, and badges now Aourished,
With portraits betOkening grief:
The wsarsrs hoped they should be nOurished.
With Ntwo dollars day and roast beef"
The woodchuck, The skunk and eoNn, too
And the fox, that inveterate thing
Lent their skins to tho wings wi tn this tune TOO
nTwo dollars day and roas: beef.'
rhey swigged and they guzzled hard cider
in masses beyond all belief:
mid the fumes their months opened wider
"Two dolIarsa day and roast beef"
The star then above the horizon,
Was soon overshadowsd with grief;
For the people have never set eyes on
'sTwo dollars day and roast beef"
The pledges were broken-truth banishsd'
Where now was the promised relief!
| rhs dream OF tstws dollars'' had vanisheds
And al SO the hope of" ast beef"

be misinformed on ibs~subject; bat as

His name was mentioned as a candidate
for sheriff bV one Of The committee men
but others Of the committee had bsen in

Jolly depended upon the wings for hi
main support, Of which wO have not tn
least doubt. We are informed upon goo
authority that he went 10 several Of h
whig delegates before ,hemeetiDgOf thei
convention, and that they promised hir
10 use their influence 10 prevent an
nomination for sheriff from being mad
by that convention; and the understand
ing was that MIR. Jolly would then b
voted for by the wings. AS he woul
then run as an "ndepenisht candidate,
he probably expected to get enough den
