THE LABORING CLASSES

General Jackson's dying declarations
JNaUy-WOrklng Wen-Protection-Ec ono-
.-Retrenchment-Re Reform.
Capt Tyack of New York, while on visit to
the Hermitage, writes in his diary, Monday, June
End, as follows: d" He" General Jackson, felt
grateful to merciful Providence, that had al
ways sustained him through all his struggles, and
in the defence of the continued independence
and prosperity of his beloved country, and that
he could now give up his stewardship, and resign
his breath to God who gave it, with the cheering
reflection that the country was now settled down
upon firm, democratic basis ; that the rights of
the Laboring classes Were respected and protect
ed, for, he adds, it is from them that the coun-
try derives all its prosperity and greatness, and
to them we must ever look to defend our soil
when invaded" What glorious truths, and what
glorious though sad and solemn scene was this
One whose life had been devoted to the service Of
his country, now, in his dying moments, finds his
thoughts lingering upon his loved land, and cling
ing to her future prospects, while the spirit
is lowering upon the confines of two worlds
The interests of those who are the great sumner,
of all true prosperity were then present to his
mind. What lesson is this for the true patriots
who remain Will they not, must they not pom
der well upon the sentiments of the dying Hero.
now departed? We desire, at this time, to speak
of the subject Of protection to labor with reference
to that important champion of the rights of all
classes and parties, the Navy. The best protec-
ton TO our national rights, is that arm of defence
which is prepared to bear &c in thunder round the
world" the declaration that our rights are to be
maintained at all hazards, and the best protection
to those who have most nobly, and will again, il
need be, step forth, as the bold champions of our
rights on Shore should hostile foot dare plant IT,
self upon our soil, is, as we have before declared
TO give them employment with fair coronensa
ton for their services. Why then, we ask again.
is not more employment given to the laborino
classes who prepared to add vigor and STRENGTH
to that great arm of our defence WHY are m,
tho appropriations of Congress far more liberal
than they are to these objects? Do they think il
merit to shut up the peoples Golfers from the
people themselves, from the aborers who are rea
dy and willing to returs more than an equivalent
more than quid pro quo, for every dollar which
is paid to them out Of the common stock fund
in which they themselves are as liberal and Just
owners as any other of the people Of the land Z
Why is it that upon any and every hue and cry
Of rotrsnchment and reform in the expenditures
Of the government, the appropriations for the Ma
Wy and for the Navy Yards, are the first to be d.

ANOTHER FINANCIAL OPERATIoN.-An ex-
listing topic of conversation in Charleston, S. C..
letter writer in one of the journal states. is the
deficiency OF some $4,000 in the funds of one of
the banks of this city, or rather in the cashiers
funds. The story is queer one, but the whole
facts of the case have not transpred. This much
is certain; the directors of the bank in question.
IN looking over their bundles of bills which have
been withdrawn from circulation, came across
certain packages which looked "curious %
These packages have been long done up; some
as tar back as 1885 were sealed with the cashiers
official seal, and signed by the old cashier, both
now dead: On opening the bundles, in place of
llnaing s2o,oOo they found sxpence worth of pa.
per, cut in bill form, and nicely slowed into the
packages. This was an astounding discovery,

THE sun.

The Sun has the reputation of being demo-
cratic paper, but save us, say |, from such demo-
cracy as that of the Sun. IL occasionally il has a
democratic article, Gas bait to the hook, J it is at
heart the rankest kind of Hunker. On Monday
it had an article against the Sub Treasury and
specie payments at the Custom House, and the
argument was that it would be so much trouble
to count the money in specie, ten thousand dol
lars at a time. So because ore merchant paving
ten thousand dollars duties would be put to few
minutes extra trouble in counting that much gold.
ten thousand men who in their whole lives are
never troubled with so much money, must con-
tiuue to pay the tax necessary to support costly

Mongers, and that, too, in violation of the Con.
stituton The Tribune, speaking on this sub
ject, has the following close cutting sarcasm
&C 1t is good thing for the country that the
publisher of the Sun is the virtual owner of three
or four Banks, and we trust it will not be a bad
thing for the note holders. Ifsomebody would
just make him present of an Iron Mine and two
or three Factories, we might have in his paper as
good articles on the Tariff as this upon the Chr
rency."

Tampico dates to the LIST of July have been re-
ceived. The feeling in that section of Mexico is
very hostile TO this country. The impression
was that the government would declare war, and
that if did not, the people would undertake hos
tlities on their own hook in order to do which
they would have another revolution There were
only two American citizens at Tampico.
