marks OF Gen. Eaton, respecting certain Democrats
now singing hozannas to Gen. jackson, who IN his
day, were among the old hero's most violent tradu-
GERS. We are now assured that Gen. Eaton had
Father Richie in his" minds eye, Horatio," when
he INDUCED In these unbrotherly "reminiscences
But Father Rltchie has rendered abundant atonemenl
tor this vental sn and has been abundanty forgiven
Why not then, forgive Gen. Eaton, for preferring

We saw Caleb J. McNuliy this morning, in com
pany with histriend and surety, Mr. Leonard The
accused never looked better IN his iife. indeed,
his appearance is more like that OF bridegroom
than Of criminal arraigned for felony. Strong
declarations are made by his friends, that he will

held for several days, In order TO the collection

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have
refused to accept the resignation of Louis McLane,
sence in England, Samuel Jones, of Baltimore, to
fill his place. 1t IS profitable berth, the Presidency

ling expenses: The result is, that if Mr.. McLane
should be recalled by the Senate, he will pocket his
lS,0OO for the outfit to, and the return trip from,
London; and go right again into his comfortable
post of President Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail

great unwashed of the party, terrible oucres raised
against this heretlcal appointment of Conservative
10 the Court OF st. James No man, IN their esti-
nation, should go, who mad ever condescended to
admit that Harrison was a brave man, or that ms
soul escaped the devil. There is class OF unwash-

the administration. We hope the President will
continue to ACT independently of their clamor, and
fearless Of their contact persecution, or influence.
We learn, further, that Mr.. Secretary Bancroft
has another rod pickle for Capt Voorhees,, soon
the present trial shall have closed. The second
trial is to be upon the charge Of cruel and malicious
foggings of his men. We think he will be acqult-
ted upon the first or his interference in the Monte
Videan blockade) as the weight of the testimony
appears to be in his favor. The decision may be
expected tomorrow.

The election of Polk having depended upon New
York, and the vote of New York having been Sc
