Disregard of Decency.

Brownlow. editor Of the Jonesboro
(Tenn.) Wing, devotes to the death
of Gen. Jackson, merely to show the
undying m~aIignity of the federal por-
ton of the Wing party, towards even
the memory of that distinguished he
70 and statesman. They never can
forgive him for his defeat Of their
wild and ariStoCratic policy. But il
is only here and there you find one
bold and reckless enough to give
vent to his malignant feelings in the
face Of the almost unanimous test
monials of affection from a grateful
country. The good which men d.
should live after them; the evil should
be buried with their bones" Mr..
Brownlow is Il preacher of the Holy
Gospel, and yet he can forget the
first impulses of derency and chart
" toward the illustrious dead; he is
moreover the whig nominee for Con
gress. in his district. We have tut
one wish on the subject-that the
BLACKBOARD should he beaten.-Re-
view.
