netc and continue it, until all the duties assigned are
performed. This opinion has been declared by the
Senate Of the United States as his constitutional adj
wiser.
In advertng to the question submitted to the pre-
sent Attorney General my sole object is TO OBTAIN
fair presentation of ali the facts Of the case, and
will stake much upon the issue. know the pre-
sent Executive has manifested desire TO listen 10
the appeals of the Cherokees, and has Determined
to do them ample Justice. But the "facts and CIR
cumstances' connected with the case recently SUP
miited presume, came from the Indian O0'ce; ana
although have neither seen paper connected WIN
that submission, nor heard syllable OF their con-
tents yet know il to be oe-sided an amt iidan-
sided presentation Of the question! have, IN my
homespun manner, endeavored to present a PLAIN
exposition Of this simple question: "Whether the
President has the power and whether II is ms duy,
to continue the commission appointed IN CONFORMITY
with the 18th article of the Cherokee treaty oil 1882
under srisiing eireumsiances?n The Cherokees, 81
erery pariy are interested in this application 10 the
President. They were called from their homes last
winter and spring, TO Fort Gibson ana lahiequan,
in their nation west of Arkansas, 10 present their
claims before the board of commissioners, which
commenced its session there last January. The
treaty" and "anti-treaty" parties brought forward
their claims without distinction-they came before
the board as band Of brothers-the loDg-expected
commission had at length arrived; and II appeared,
indeed, as if a "new sun" was beamlng upon men,
Since the dark days Of 49, they had not looked SO
happy for they believed they saw the forerunner OF
coming justice from the government OF the United
States. CREprToR and DEBTOR met together; ana
the Frightening prospects obtained subsistence for
the starving claimant, by giving him new credit; for
the plighsd faith of the government was about to he
redeemed These people have been anxiously wait
ing for decision upon their claims, which, at an
expense they could not Afford and great sacrifices
in being from home in the corn planting season,
thew presented 10 the board for examination, bring
ing witnesses from every part of the nation, a
distance of twenty, fifty, and one hundred miles.
Shall they be again disappointed We will see.

COMMENTARY ON DR.. CARTWRlGHT'S
EIJIOGY OF GEN JACKSON.

DIR. Cartwright, in the closing paragraph of his
eulogy, has vibrated chord binding Gen. Jackson
to Natchez and to Mississippi, that no hand has yet
touched. Its end, for more than half century, has
been invisible, and its object mysterious and un-
known, until recent events have begun to make IT
apparent, that he that looks may read DIR. Cart
wright seems TO have taken for granted, that every
one knows that Gen. Jackson was married in
Natchez, or its immediate vicinity. But 1t Is not
SO generally known that this, the most important
step in Gen. Jacksons whole life, in regard TO him
self individual, was taken in this our town Of
hatcher. In fact, less is known Of Gen. Jackson's
marriage, and the circumstances connected with It,
than any other part Of the great hero's history
The whole truth in regard to the matter will not
only make him more lustrious, but prove, beyond
doubt, that kind and overriding Providence led
the young and chivnlrous Jackson through the will
derness, in the summer of 1871, TO Natchez, IN
search Of wife. He came not here TO find woman
of wealth or influence, but poor banished female,
whose innocence the world had unjustly impeacbed
and he was the only individual in the world, beside
herself, who knew for certainty that the accusa-
ton against her was false.

In war, his eye at . glance discerned his
plans with unerring sagacity; in peace,
he proposed measures with instructive
wisdom, Of which the inspirations were
prophecy. In discipline stern, in Just

distressed, and to relieve the needy; faith
fal to hisfriends, fervid for his county,
Indifferent 10 other rewards, he aspired
throughout life to an honorable fame, and
so loved his fellow-men, that he ionged to
dwell in their dtfectionate remembrances--
Heaven gave him length Of days, and he
filled them with deeds Of greatness. He
was always happy; happy in his youth,
which shared the achievement Of our ma
tional independence: happy in his af,er
years, which beheld the valley Of the IN est
cover itself with glory Of Tree and ever
increasing States; happy n his age, which
saw the people multiplied frsn two TO
twenty millions, and freedom and union
make their pathway from the At'aalic to
the Pacific, thrice happy in death, Tor
while he believed the hbertes.o of his couil-
try iinperishable, and was cheered by vis-

GENERAL ORDER.
WASHINGTON, June l6, 1S45.

The President Of the United States,
with heartfelt sorrow, announces 10 the
army, the navy, ard the marine corps, the
death Of ANDREW JACKSON. On the eve
ming Of Saturday, the eighth day Of June,
about six o'clock, he resigned his spirit to
his heavenly Father. The nation, while it
learns with grief the death of its most il
lustrious citizen, finds solace in contempla-
ting his venerable character aid services.
The valley Of the Mississippi beheld him
the bravest, and the wisest; and the most
fortunate Of its defenders. The country
raised to the highest trusts in military and
civil life, with confidence that never
abated, and an affection that followed him
in ,indiminished dvigor to retirement, watch.
ed over his latest hours, and pays Its trib-
ute at his grave. Wherever his lot was
cast. he appeared among those around him,
first in natural endowments and resources,
not less than first in authority and station
|, The power Of his mind impressed itself on
the policy Of his country, and still lives,
and will live forever, in the memory of its
peoples Child Of forest region, and a
settler Of the wilderness, his was genius
which, as il came to the guidance Of al
fairs, instinctively attached itself to general
principles, and, inspired by the truth which
his own heart revealed to him in singleness
and simplicity, he found always response
ID the breastof his countrymen. Crowned
with glory In war, in his whole career, a.
a statesman, he showed himself the friend
and lover Of peace. With an American
heart, whose throbs were all for republi.
can freedom, and his native land, he vel
longedto promote the widest intercourse
and the most intimate commerce, between
the many nations Of mankind. Hewas The
servant of humanity. Of q vehement will
he was patient in council, deliberatinl
long, hearing sll things; yet in the momen
Of action, deciding with rapidifys Of ,
noble nature, and incapable 81 disguise, hil
thoughts lay open to al around him, ant
/ won their confidence BY his ingennoul
frankness. His judgement was Of that 50
Edity, that re ever tempered vigcr will

HERMIrAeE, May 28th, l845. 1
MY DEAR siR: Aware Of your desire to
know the condition Of the patriot of the
Hermitage in the closing scenes of his lie,
| write down, from day to day, during the
short visit | make him, what occurs Of in
terest. o ,sf
Onmy arrival found ex- President Jack
son more comfortable than he had been, al
though his disease is not abated, and his
long and useful life is rapidly drawing to
its close. He has not been in condition
to lie down during the last four months.
His feet and legs, his hands and arms are
very much swollen with dropsy, which has
invaded his whole SYSTEM. Bandages are
drawn tight around the parts most affected
to prevent, as much as possible, the increase
Of the water. He has scarcely any use of
his hands. The bandages are removed
several times in the "a hours, and the parts
rubbed severely to restore animation and
the circulation Of the blood. He has not
strength to stand. His respiration is very
short and attended with much difficulty, and
the whole progress Of the disease accom-
panied with great suffering. He gets no
sleep except By opiates. His left lung was
ruptured many years ago, during the Sem
mole campaign in Florida, and is entirely
destroyed, and the other much diseased.
When the dfopsy commenced, the cough
was extremely severe, and expectoration
profuse These symptoms, which had con-
tinued for years, now gradually gave way
and almost entirely ceased. This was fol.
lowed by loss Of appetite and constant nau-
sea and prostration. This change took
place early in April; and about the first d
May diarrhna commenced which seemed
to threaten an immediate dissolution. This
continued for few days with great suffer.
ing, but fortunately reduced the swell.
ing Of the whole system. The abatement
Of the diarrhGa was succeeded by ths
swelling IL Ill parts, with violent pain and
extreme difEcnlty Of breathing, when ma.
tture would again relieve itself as above
described. &
