GEN. JACKSON'S FINE.

II will be seen, by reference to the debate and
vote, published on our first page that the House
Of Repre- scnalvcs have passed the bill refund the
fine imposed by Judge HALL upon General JACK
SON. All the Representatives from this State ex-
ccpt Messrs, Rayncr and arlington (who were
absen,) voted for the bill The Globe makes the
following remarks on the subject:
"This day CTHE EIGHTH OF JANUARY was sig
nalzed in the House, by the passage of the bill to
fund the fine imposed General Jackson, for dong his
duty at New Orleans, by vinctive Judge who fled the
city, and failed to do his duty. Various attempts
made by the Federal party to couple with this bill
clause vindcang the sentence of the judge at the
Pense Of the motives of the general. The bill, which
has been pending during two Congresses, would have
been passed the last if this little provso the
sacred character of the judiciary and to stain that Of the
venerable patriot who saved the eeuny in despite of it
could have been incorporated in the statute There is
good reason TO believe that this long pesedn attempt
to convert the act Of repsaton demanded by the whole
nation into means Of Offering insult to the object of it,
will now be abandoned From the proceedings and Vee
OF this day. (or which we point the public eye to
congressional eolumn,) no doubt can be entertained
that the bill will pass the Senate without changing
letter OF itMr Barnards threat, at the beginning of
the debate, to the contrary Notwithstanding The ques
ton finely debated by the friends Of the bill in this
days discussion. The hasy sketches which thrown
of by reporters will give but very inadequate
ception Of the power exhibited on the oecasion.''

{" Put this and that together" Not only does
Mr.. Clay's memory prove reacherous, but he is
shifting his position and trimming his sails for a
more favorable breeze. Indeed, he would seem to
be attempting, nar possible, to get on to the
ground occupied by Mr.. Van Buren. Mr.. Y. B.
in his Indiana letter, last winter, says:
