follows
MAY PLEASE THE COURT:
1t has become my painful duty to announce tc
this honorable court the intelligence of the death o.
Gen. Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, late President
of the United States He died at the Hermitage
faith in the saving merits Of his Redeemer, and o.
confidence in his transition TO better and happier
existence.
The hero and patriot is no more A life filed with
incidents and events of unsurpassed magnitude has
terminated at moment when his country IN IN the
enjoyment Of degree Of liberty, prosperity, and
happiness, challenging the grateful feelings of hei
people, and the admiration Of mankind.
The career of General jackson has been run
amidst scenes and revolutions in the history OF ma
tons, including his own, of vaster magnitude thar
any previously recorded in the annals OF the world
He was born before the American revolution; flesh
ed his maiden sword in the war which gave birth to
American freedom and independence; lived to be 9
spectator, it were, of the mighty conflicts which
agitated Europe in one unbroken series of convul
sions, from 1883 to 1916 achieved victory after vic
tory in the war of 1919, with Great Britain and hel
aboriginal allies, and survived that war to witness
the separation of the South and North American
colonies from the kingdom of Spain, and the organ
zation of eight independent nations on thu
ruins ofSpanish American despotism.
Chosen by the people of the United States, at two
successive elections, TO be their President and Com

which distinguished that remarkable man. We may
properly leave to the future historian, surviving tn,
party passions Of the day, whether favorable or un
favorable to the memory Of this renowned warrior
and statesman, the task Of delineatng his character
/ principles, and measures. But all, believe, now
concur in ascnbing to him honesty of purpose, ar
dor and purity of patriotism, sternness Of integrity
as well as of will, and military genius, skill, ant
courage.
Amidst the collisions, public and private, which
developed the more rigid qualities of his mind, Gen
Jackson was kind neighbor, a confding and devoted
friend, with soul full of melting charity to his fel
low-men.
His public services cannot be questioned His
reputation must always, TO great extent be identi
fed with that Of his country, and his name remair
stamped upon her history IN Characters more Qura
bic than monumental marble.
Having long been the head of a government, o.

knowingly and eloquenty responded to by his honor
Judge Mclean; whereupon the court adjourned.
From the New Hampshire Patriot
1t will be seen, by reference to our Legislative re
port of the 18th nst that the legislature noticed the
death of General Jackson in fitting and respectful
manner. MIR. Hubbard introduced into the hous,
some resolutions expressive of the feelings inspired
by the intelligence of the affective event. Mr.. Hib
bard's remarks upon the subject were full Of high
sentiment, beautifully appropriate to the occasion
and were delivered in most impressive manner
The resolutions were passed by the house with en-
tire unanimity, and were concurred in by the senate
with unanimous expression for their passage
Colonel Cate and Colonel Lane, of the senate, made
some brief and appropriate remarks upon their pass
age, which will be found in our report
The resolutions give expression to the deep emo
tons Of sorrow with which the tidngs of the death
Of that great and extraordinary man has moved tn,
hearts of our people. BY no people, it may safely
be said, will the fame and memory Of the llustriou
Jackson be cherished with feelings of stronger re
spect and higher admiration, than by the people o
New Hampshire.
As further mark of respect to the memory
the noble dead, both houses adjourned.

June 49,
Mr.. PIERCE, of Dover, in the chair
Mr.. Hubbard arose and said, that he would bring
to the notice of the house an event. deeply interest
ing to all-the news of which he doubted not had al
ready reached them through the medium Of the pub
lie journals, and which, ere this was known TO mos
present What our fearful approximations had long
anticipated, had now become painful reality. The
great and illustrious Jackson was no more. He an
nounced this the subject Of some brief resolutions
which he intended to offer.
He said that perhaps he ought not--certainly h,
needed not, he was well convinced-to say anything
in favor of the resolutions which he proposed t
submit, inadequate as they must be to the full ex
preston Of the deepfelt sorrow which pervaded al
hearts. He deemed it proper that this event SHOULD
not pass without notice from the legislature. Our
was, he believed the only legislature of the Unor
now in session; and it was meet that we should sig
nifty our regret, not only as private citizens, bu
that all classes Of men, in all capacities, should b.
heard in expressions of grief at this great natona
bereavement. Ours was no sentiment Of sorrow
confined to ourselves. II was deep and universal

Washington, no similar event had thrown such
gloom over our community. This distinguished
man had filed an important place in the history o
the country and the world. The impress of hi
character was stamped too effaceessly upon thu
minds of his contemporaries, to require here any at
