Whereas, Ii has pleased an over ruling Pro-
violence, in the plenitude of His mercy and the
1 IeXcellency Of His wisdom to fill Americas
lproudes: halls with the solemn voice of com
memoration, aud thousands of her spotted BAN
ners TO be shrouded in sable robes Of mourning,
and filed millions Of patriotic breasts with sorrow
in pondoring over the silent mansion of the
tomb of one whose world-honored body reposes
in the eternal bosom of undying fame, while his
immortal spirit, freed from the turmoil and care
of his beloved country, is waited by an angelic
/ choir to some more friendly port, where in eter-
nal felicity he will with, Washington and Jeifer-
son, range the bright halls Of Heaven. General
Jackson, the immortal Hero of New Orleans,
being called TO sleep in the honors of his coun-
try, with all the mighty and iustrious dead;
Therefore, ReSolocd, That we feel America
has ostin him one who, by his wide spread ce-
lebrity, is known by the world to gid The bright
est pages of our republican history; and that he
has ever gone forth galloping on the ordeal of
opinion for cur immediate benefit and social hap
piness, and has returned with triple honors 10
his native shores.
Rcaolred, That as he, in defending our south
crn coast, with that wisdom and skill which was
ever exhibited in his counsels, and commands,
and arrangements as General, he has followed
our starry striped pennon to the battle field, and
thence has sent his name with glory aoft to perch
on the bright brow of freedom we mourn the
absence of so great and grand character, and
/ brave and benevolent soldier, and peerless and
infexible Hero.
| ReSOircd, That as a statesman, we feel that
America has been bereaved of one of her no
blest sons, whose wisdom and prudence are full
Iy set forth in his official career, whose example
| for permanent and unwavering principles is unri-
vailed in the history Of our nation, whose ad-
ministIation reveals his pure and uninhuenced
determinations to act for the prosperity aud wei
}
isoncc of this democratic republic, as his great
guiding star, and our grand council chambers
are yet vocal with that deliberation and elo-
quoncc which was congenial with his exalted
mature.
RcSolped, That in him we have lost great
presorver of democracy, whose character stands
enrolled amid the ilIustrious, as being truly emf
nent and energetic in propagandism, which are
harmonious with the true interests of our coun-
Itry-the rights and liberties of man.
Rcs0lBed, That we feel thankful TO that bone
fcent God who sits upon throne of justice and
weld5 the destiny Of nations as he ploasos, for
sparng that noble hero, honored and esteemed
! President, and peerless friend ofman, and demo-
cratic statesman, so long with us, who has ever
been, like the tall oak in the midst of the forest,
sondng erect and firm, uninfucnced by all the
storms and bowling blasts Of contention, beneath
whose rich foliage we have long sat and enjoyed
the fruits of his toll and the sweets Of his labor,
Re8olped, That as he was taken lin his
88th year, in the calm tranquility of a summers
evening, Just as the great chronomoter Of days
and years, wearicd with his daily labors, sinks
I ldown with soft blush in evenings mellow bo-
som to repose, that we only mourn the loss Of
his personal influence, his absence, his wisdom,
and his clear deliberations, which are gone from
our council chambers and Legislative halls, to re-
turn to our republic no more forever.
| RcSojUed, That these proceedings be signed
! by the chairman and secretary, and be printed in
the Cadz Sentinel and ST. Clarsville Gazette
J. P. CALDWELL President.
Il. CRosKEY, Secretary.
