monody ON Death of Gen. Jackson.

oD0dy ON the Death Of Gen. Jackson
Hark Ger the night a voice prociaims,
Dust unto dual again has turn'd;
Cold is the heart, and q~uench'd the flame,
That oft with fire prophetic buru'd.
Death pail of sable gloom is spread,
In triumph DER the warriors bed,
And borne upon. the evenings breeze,
The sound Of grief IS heerd afar;
Like natures deepest agonies;
Or Nations mourning ruthless war.
Beneath deaths cold reIsn.Iess hsns,
CoIumbia's Chief in silence lies
The same who brav'd The Indians brand
And Britsin's dread artilleries,
When MississiPpl's turbid food,
Roll'd to the Ocean died with blood
And Europe's conquering legions fed,
Inglorious from that carnage-held,
Leaving behind with CORY dead,
The broken sword, and faithiess shield.
His glance was like The Eagle's-keen,
His voice deep IS the thunder's tone,
Brave 'mong the brave,-hIs soul ! ween
Was bright as is the starry zone.
Alone he stood, stern natures child,
Like ~giant-oak in fores. wild:
Men saw and lov'd, or learn'd to fear,
The spirit that within him dweit,
And with the Indian shun'd his spear,
For they his power and vaIor felt.
Yet true to country and TO friends,
As mountain-esgle TO its young
And where the foot of minstrel wends,
There, let his fame and deeds be sung:
For natures wild and boreal gale,
Will spread his name DER hill and vale
Apd on her everlasting hills,
His c~enotaph will proudly raise;
Whilst from her streams and mountaIn-riIls,
Will Paans rise unto his praise.
Let earth resume has sacred dust,
That iron frame which cased his soul
There, there 20 keep. in halIow'd trust,
While time does on It's axis ROLL.
But place il not in ,sculptured tomb,
Nor in the marbles narrow room,
Nor bid il rest with crowned Kings,
The tyrants of their native land
II SO, his soul on light ning-wings
Will smite the imPious daring hand.
No, LET the pearIy dews Of even -;
Like orient diamonds gem his breast
His grave beneath the vault Of heav'n,
In the great valley of the West.
The patriots tomb, the freeman's grave,
Was all he wish'd or sought to crave
To sleep with men of kindred clay,
With her he lov'd in life so we'll;
Where soft the yernal breezes play,
And wild flowers scent the verdant vale.
But when long years are past and gone,
And heedom's Eagle proudly scars,
From Atlas coast to Oregon,
Protecting freedoms stripes aud stars
When not one servile foot shall tread,
The sacred soil where freemen bIed-
Then, let his country raise one stone,
And place it DER his silent grave,
Inscribe his name, and that alone,
'Tis all his friends for him will crave.
Fog when the, war end storm of life,
Have pass'd away and skies serene
Beam DER the land, and party strife
Leaves not one trace to mar the scene
And history with her diapond-pen,
Inscribes tile deeds of virtuous men
On Times dread page like star of night,
HIS name will be afar deserted
Brilliant among the sons of light,
Who for their country lived or died,

CURIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS OF New HAVEN
There has Just been quite an extraordinary piece of
work completed at New Haven, which we think viii
prove to the highest degree interesting to. citizens
generally. 1t is a complete model of the city of New
Haven, in. carved wood, representing every object in
an area of Territory 2 by 81 miles, including streets,
lanes, public buildings, houses, outbuildings trees,
wharves, shipping, steamboats,, &c. &c. : This model
has been In course. of progress more than a year, and
no expense has been spared to render 1t a splendid
piece of mechanism. This model is said to be so
truthful that any resident of New Haven can readily
point ont his own house. But after all, of what bene-
fit can it possibly be could not the labor have been
laid out to much more advantage 7 We are informed
that more than 80 persons have been employed upon
the construction Of the toy.

The Rochester Democrat has a letter from Mon
treal, which gives the following account of a review
Of the British troops, on the anniversary of the battle
of Waterloo. - -
To-day, being the anniversary of Waterloo, and
the first appearance of the new General, every thing
was done in the military line that could be invented.
At ii o'clock all the troops Of the vicinity were in
the field. They exercised about three hours, and at
the request of the General, went through an imita-
ton Of the battle of Waterloo. 1t was a grand spec
tatle.
Several officers were present who were at Water
loo, who wore evergreens in their caps, and also one
of the regiments that was in the field that day-the
colors of which were dressed in evergreens. The
same regimen TT of Highlapders was present that was
at New Orleans. But one man among them was In
that battle. The latter is the regiment that was so
cut up and nearly every man shot In the field. But
what was. still more singular, there is but one man
in the Waterloo regiment that was present at the
battle. e. ae.. - r. :,
There were about three hundred Yankees witness
ing this grand maneuvre, and more than one ejacu-
lated, as they occasionally r~etreated, that they had
better practice thoroughly, for should an Oregon war
be got up, it would prove of. service to them. An
irish soldier of the Highlanders, on guard, hearing
the remark, said, ''let war come-Inever can aim my
musket at a. Yankee" Such is the feeling of all the
sons Of Hibernia.

at will not be denied, by any intelligent man, that
the present tariff produces revenue sufficient to meet
the expenses of the general government, and pay off,
eventually, the national debt."-JourHA.
The Journal has forgotten the dire horrors that il
said was to encompass the land on the election Of Mr..
Polk. 1t has forgotten how hard it Iabored to induce
the belief that the four years of Wing ascendanncyS
had not created a national debt. Wonderful sheet,

1t is amusing to see with what avidity and loving
kindness the Wings seize upon every old ofice-hold-
or who happens to be removed from Office, whether
democrat or coon, if he has been in long enough to
get rich and saucy. In Illinois, they once had one in
50 long, that an attempt was made to Keep him in fr
life. He was a Wing. Lately, the President re-
moved one Lewis from an Office held since Jackson's
time, and the whole pack are shedding crocodile tears
over this poor fellows misfortune! If the President
appoints a democrat to Office, it is all wrong, says
Yhiggery. If he changes an ofic er, it is outrageous.
If he removes one, it is prescription. What will
please the wings! Nothing unless Mr.. Polk should
appoint the whole party to Office.

No WAR.-The N. Y. Morning News speaks Of
the arrival of intelligence to that city, In relation to
our affairs with Mexico, which affords assurances of
a most pacific character, 1t is informed, that the
British minister has assured our government the APP
pointment of an ambassador to Mexico would be fav-
orably regarded by Mexico. 1t will be recollected
that neither government is represented at the, other,
the Mexican minister at Washington having with
drawn all diplomatic intercourse Immediately after
the passage of the Texan resolutions, and Mr.. Shan
non having returned home to receive the congratula-
tons Of the republic at the results Of his wonderful
diplomacy. The English or French embassies at
Mexico and Washington have therefore been the on
ly medium of intercourse between the two semi-bel-
hgerent nations. The acknowledgment of Texan in
dependence, cuts off all pretext on the part of Mexi-
CO for a war; or for complaint of injustice against
this country, on account Of annexation. There is not
now the smallest chance for a reasonable quarrel.
Santa Annals Punishment, it appears, is not for ten
years, but perpetual; his officers for ten years. They
receive a pension equal to one half the pay they

is lost if they change their residence to any other
place than that which the Government points out.
They are besides required to satisfy all their creditors
before they leave the country.

DEATH OF GENERAL JAcKsoN.-There will not be
a man, or woman, old or young, in America, who will
not feel that something ueedful has been lost upon
learning that Gen. Jackson is no more. Though his
demise, in the ordinary course of nature, might have
been. anticipated, and notwithstanding all recent
accounts represented him to be in the last extreme Of
debility, yet such was the iron will of that man above
all his fellows a cynosure and a wonder, that 1t is
difficult to realize that his firm nerves are palsied by
the stroke of death. For many weeks he has been
lingering upon the verge of the grave. At any time
within three months past his death should not have
surprised any one, but when he expired the event
made the impression of a sudden loss, and the nation
mourns as a widow -
In this city the light of heart are sad and the
thoughtless grave. Little children quit their pastimes
in mysterious. terror. as it were to wonder at a calam-
ity they do not; comprehend All miss something,
every body has lost something. A friend, a benefac-
tor, an opponent that cannot be spared the pride of
one, the glory of another, and the admiration of all,
the successful statesman, the triumphant general, the
stern patriot is gone and there is none other > He
was needful to all, and there is no one who does not
feel his death as a personal lossa IL -
If the gay, the young, the many who knew him
only from his a6ts-and of, these a moicty were in
political feud with him-if all are touched by his
taking away, albeit in the fullness of years, what
must they feel who followed his banners to the big
wars! There viii be solemn pageants in token of
the public SORROW, but a darker pail shrouds the hearts
of the survivors of his glorious battle-fields than the
sable drapery that ,deepens. the gloom of the funeral
cortege. The drum that was beat in reveille, on the
morn of the 9Th Of January, 10, will be carried along
the solemn pageant its muf1ed notes viii fall MOURN
fully upon the ear but they who heard it when it
woke an army upon a fearful summons will not heed
it now, for their hearts beat sadder than it. They
will follow those of them who have strength to do
so, the old ensign as it is borne along the streets, its
rags and shreds held together 10y the ~trappings of woe,
but with what other emotions will it fill their minds
than those it inspired when 1t futtered In the early
dawn as Gliding the tardy-gaited hours that kept back
the clash of arms. They Were impatient then, too,
but now they are bruised and worn like it. The voice

hushed forever, and they who conquered beneath its

British Aggression at Liberia.

Sundry statements developing British policy IN
relation to Liberia, have been made in Eastern papers.
The Albany Atlas ~conciseIy Sums up the matter as
follows:
THE LIBERIAN CoLoNIEs.-The n. Y. Commercial
Advertiser speaks of the British Government having
commenced a most dangerous system of aggression
upon the rights Of the colonists of Liberia. Those
colonists are, it is well known, emancipated slaves,
or the free descendants of Africans, who have emf
grated from this country, purchased a soil, established
a Government, and sought a national existence in
Africa. The enterprise that has placed them there is
not a. national one; or in any form a Government one.
1t has been wholly an effort of individuals, associated
for the purpose of benevolence and policy.
The Commercial Advertiser intipates that our Gov
eminent was formally Intercepted By the British
ministry, some two years since, as to the relation In
which we stood towards these colonies. The late
administration, through Mr.. Upshur. disclaimed all
authority over these distant people, or any national
connection with them, or any relation but that of a
friendly interest. 1t is claitued by the British Gov
eminent that these tnacEho@ledged creations Of our
citizens are not entitled to a separate and national
existence; and the attempt of the Liberian Govern
nnent to enforce Its custom house laws upon an
English Trader has beer rebuked and punished by the
capture of a colonial vessel by a British man-of-war
A controversy with England, if controversy it can
be called, must soon end in the surrender of Its
national existence by the colony, and IN this is
involved the abandonment of all rights to establish
customs and revenue laws, to impose conditions on
the intercourse Of strangers,tc maintain treaties with
neighboring tribes and to enforce them and protect its
own independence, by arms. 49,, 5
Our Government has no right to interfere in this
attitude of affairs though any other nation in the
world would stretch forth its arms to protect the emf
grants from its soil, at any hazard, however blackened
and illegitlmate the off-shoot of its nationality mightbe
