Correspondence of the n. Y Express.
WASHINGTON, Nov. %
The Oregon question, it is obvious in advance
the meeting of Congress, is 10 prove a most
difficult question of adJustment-much moro so,
indeed, than tho Tariff or any merely local
national question. When the Oregon and Texas
Bills hanging by the eycids in the last
Congress-the former as bait 10 the latter, and
the latter to the former, either in tho the
other Of the two houses Of Congress, the detcrmi-
no ton of the Western members then was that
both bills should pass together. But Southern di-
,,omacy more than match for Western
creduty. Tho Western Loco Focos kept their
part Of the contract, and tho Southern Loco
Focos failed in theirs. Texas practically was
| and is annexed 10 the Union. while tho Oregon
question remains precisely where it did q year
since, and just where 1t has remained since 1915
But tho Western members now strong in
numbers determined on action, and indignant in
feeling They demand the permanent settlement
Of the Oregon question. and the extension OF our
territory up TO the exac. line Of the Russian pos
sessions, Mr.. Allen. of Ohio, it is unde rstood

on Foreign Relations, and his is always a "yoice

"With reference TO the three principal points
Of the message, and tho order Of prominence
which will be assigned TO them, my information

I'd. Tarlff-That the President will back up
the recommendations of the Secretary Of the

commend that Congress shall adopt them. These

The repeal of the present tariff.
Tho substitution of a maximum rate of duty of
twenty per centum, with determinations below

The curtallment. if not the entire abolition, of

INTEREsTgNG INCIDENT.

Every thing that relates to Andrew Jackson,
the hero Of New Orleans. and the friend of
his country, is OF deep interest to the Ameri
can people. And, although the incident we
are about to relate is. in itself, Of no great in
terest, 1t becomes SO to US in consequence of
those connected with it.
At the Nashville Convention of August last,
we visited the Hermitage (onIy ID miles dis
tanO in company with Judge Douglas of this
State, and some other Of our fellow-citzens.
The Hermitage was crowded with people
from almost every state, who had been invited
thither by the venerable patriot on the day
succeeding the Convention.
Governor Clay, of Alabama. was near Gen.
Jackson, who was himself sitting on the sofa
in the hall of his residence; and as each per-
son entered, Governor Clay introduced him
to the Hero, and he passed along. When
Judge Douglas was introduced, Gen. Jackson
raised his still brilliant eyes, and gazed for a
moment in the countenance of the Judge, still
retaining his hand IS Are YOU the Mr.. Doug
las of Illinois, who delivered a speech last
session on the subject of the fine imposed on
me for declaring martial law at New Orleans?''
asked General Jackson.
81 have delivered speech in the House of
Representatives upon that subject" was the
modest reply Of CDR friend.
"Then STOP" said General Jackson. "Sit
down here beside mel [ desire to return to
you my thanks for that speech.-Yo on are the
first man that has ever relieved my mind on Il
subject which has rested upon it for thirty
years. My enemies have always charged
me with violating the constitution ofmy coun-
/ try, by declaring martial law at New Orleans;
and my friends have always admitted the vio-
l., I,,4 IL. ~.
justified me in that violation. | never could
understand how it was that the performance
of a solemn duty to my country-a duty
! which, if l had neglected to perform, would
have made me traitor in the sight of God
and man--couId properly be pronounced VIC
lation of the constitution. | felt convinced in
my own mind that was not guilty of such a
helnous offence; but could never make out a
| legal justification Of my course; nor has it ever
been done, sir, until you, on the floor of Q on
gfess, at the late session, established it be-
You'd the possibility of cayil or doubt.
! | thank you, Sir, for that speech. 1t has re-
Ileved my mind from the only circumstance
that rested painfully upon it. Throughout my
whole life, | never performed an official act
which viewed as violation of the constltu-
ton of my country; and | can now 90 down to
the grave in peace, with the perfect conscious
ness that have not broken, at any period OF
my life, the constitution or laws of my coun-
try"
Thus spoke the old Hero, his countenance
frightened by emotions which it impossible
for us to describe. We turned to look a
Douglas. He was speeches.. He could no.
reply but convusively shaking the aged We
teran's hand, he rose and left the room.-Cer
tainly, Gen. Jackson had paid him the highes
compliment he could have bestowed on any
individual HHnois State Register.
