MoRsE's rELEGRAPH.-The Baltimore Patriot oil
Friday last says; Professor Morse passed through
this city this morning to Philadelphia, to complete
arrangements for putting up line Of telegraphic
wires between that city and New York. The stock
we understand, is all taken. Arrangements, we
learn, are to be made for establishing line be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia. When these
are completed there will be a complete communica-
ton between Washington and New York. A line
is also to be established between New York and
Boston.
Since the telegraph has been regularly establish
ed here, terminating in the post Office building, it
has been busily engaged transmitting intelligence
creating revenue more than adequate to the ex-
pense of operating it. Merchants gradually
awaiting themselves Of its advantages---several or
ders for goods &C., having been sent backwards and
forwards this morning The Office, as at present
arranged and fitted up uner the superintendent of
Mr.. Rogers, is neat, convenient, and afording ev-
idence of economy.
I'VE cut the above article as it stands, from some
country paper but we suspect it is copied from the
Baltimore Sun. We have made some arrangements
for obtaining the most satisfactory of Pro-
lessor Morse's telegraph its superiority the Eng
lish schemes its prospects of success his pans and
everything that is calculated to illustrate one of the
most extraordinary and brilliant inventions of the
age.--THE UNIoN.]

ILLNESS OF GEN. JACKSON.

We are satisfied that we could not give more pain
to every American who respects true greatness of
character than by publishing the following melan-
choly annunciation of the rapidly approaching dis
solution of the distinguished man who is about to
bid the world an eternal adieu. There can scarcely
be doubt of the facts which it details. A nobler
spirit could not leave the of men. The follow
ing letter is addressed to Mr.. S. H. Laughlin, Re-
corder of the Land Office by Major Thomas L.
Gaines, relation of General Gaines, and an init
mate and affeconate friend of the Hero of the Her
mitage
NASHVILLE, CTenn.,) May 4th, 1S45.
"MY DEAR SIR have just had a conversation
with mutual friend DIR. Felix Robertson, who

raj Jackson. The impression of the Generals near
est friends now is that the tme-honored' veteran 8
life is rapidly drawing TO close. Symptoms of
dropsy have interviewed. His legs are swollen from
his feet up to his abdomen and his respiration is
feeble and difficult. His great mind and clear mem
Dry, however, remain perfectly unclouded His
every act and word shows his patient and resigned
resignation to the will of God In his perfect resig-
nation, he manifests all the meekness and humility
of true follower of the blessed Redeemer; and in
his constant prayers he looks up God in confident
assurance of salvation through the atonement and
mediation of the Saviour. Supplications to heaven
for blessings on his country and her institutions
for the perpetuty of constitution and liberties,
civil and religious-are continually mingled in all
his prayers and in all his conversations with
his friends Truly, when he departs, it will be the
fall of great man in Israel; and politically and in
moral weight of character it will be the loss to his
country and to the world of the first and greatest
man now numbered among the living-the greatest
benefactor Of his country now surviving.

ELEGANT EXTRACTS,

The following article from the "Wheeing Ar
gus" is full Of beauty, fraught with truth and
patriotic feeling, that it will reach the hearts of all
who perusc il. There is here no attempt to arouse
the bitterness of party excitement for party effect;
il is calm, sensible appeal TO the judgment and to
the highest moral feelings. 1t sounds like one
speaking with authority" to his fellow-ctzcns of
all parties--likc Mentor unfolding the book of wis
dom and truth, and pointing out the solid founda-
ton on which alone liberties be preserved,
our high national destiny be realized. The calm
which has settled the angry political waters
in Virginia, il the proper season for such appeal
We trust that it may sink deep into the hearts of all
which bind us to Virginia and to the Union.

to express our SURPRISE well regret at perceiv-
ing public Journal established among US by for
egn influence and purporting to express the opin-
ions of the highly respectable French subjects domi-
ciated among us, interfering certainly in not tho
most polite tone, in the controversies between our
own and another nation, in which it would be- to say
the least Of ii, more becoming in it to maintain some
thing like neutrality. The high tone said to be "as-
sumed by the Union," is characterized as "but so
much gasconade, for which the Executive is alone
responsible" II then with how much propriety
or decency we leave to others to decde) presents
appeal to the American people, to whom il most
condescendingly attributes too much good
rously to denounce Mexico for retaining in her pos
session the money due to citizens while there is
any probability, or the least possibility, of rupture
between the two countries"
Without commenting upon the ignorance of the
real history of this transaction which is here mani
tested in assuming, what is not the fact that the de-
fault Of Mexico originated after the happening of the
incidents to which she has taken excepuon--with-
out INDUCING in any structures upon the refnements
Of honorary obligations which will justify one party
in refusing to comply with its own most sol
emn obligations to another, and to pay an ac-
knowledged debt, because controversy existed in
reference to question wholly collateral-without
scrutinzing too infinitely the proprety of stranger
to the dispute volunteering to suggest excuse for
the commission of papable wrong, which the par
ty committing il had never himself urged, Certainly
as far we are advised, I'VE may be permitted to
remark that the editor of the "Courrier" might
have found in the language and acts of his own gov
eminent, lin the year 1888, towards Mexico, some
precedent, which, if rightly understood, might have
saved him from this gratutous interposition which
uncaed for by the position of the editor, as Of
fensve in its tone and manner.

magic power upon the minds Of the mighty multi
tude, who are for all future time TO be swayed by
tho instincts Of genius and the force Of Judgment
The "Union!" What happy associations spring up
the absent daughter the wandering son, will pause
upon The word, and cagery anticipate the future or
recall the past.
The republican family has had its jars; some
have wandered far away; some have been ship
wrecked; but naked and wounded have found their
way back to the old family altar, and devouty adj
mltted they came, the solemn sanctity of the
publican crced others have sunk into neglected and
aisgraceful obscurity, in unnatural hostility to the
household of our faith; but many, how many attho
present time, have returned home to the solemn
''Union" Of the political ffeside.
Inc big wars, which made ambition virtue"
now over, and the fruits of victory are peace,
prosperity, and happiness. Every lesson Of the
past every sentiment Of the contest every princi-
pie which animated heaving heart, invokes to
union. The hall Of the republicans, in which
last national convention was held was the scene of
concessions Of all interests and passions, which was
so noble, magnanimous, and exalted as only to be
surpassed by the sacred compromises Of our con-
stitutionaI freedom. That hall should, by the de-
mocracy, be remembered a. the temple of concord,
and our .watchword should be ''union and the
Union.n
Mr.. Polk is the representative ofumion. His admin
stration is the organ Of the great party which elect
ed HIM, and rcachery It's acts to the
publican faith; and, although we will never aspire
to DC the organ Of the administration, we will faith
fully impress our countrymen with the devotion to
the principles Of the Presidents inaugural with a
just respect for his official acts, and an honorable
and manly acquiescence in the decisions of his
cabinet.
This broad adhesion TO the acts and principles of
the administration viii not strange to any one
who has read the Presidents creed, and knows that
his life has been consistent and firm support of its
principles. We will support him, because sin
union there st strength because {. II principle po, there
we shall preserve the Union.

From tho Clarksburg sc,on Of Democracy
PRETTY WELL DONE.

$4,000
The democrats in this (thc 14th) congressional
district have gained four members to the legislature
and lost one. The gains one in Wood and
Richie, one in jackson and Mason, one in Fayette
and Nicholas, and one in Cabell and Wayne-loss,
in Taylor; but that loss is not fairly to be
charged this district, for the defeat of Mr.. New
lon in Taylor is to be charged to the detection Of
the democrats the other side of the river, in the
18th congressional district but setting down as
loss in this, the wings have now but two delegates
in the legislature from the district, in Kanawha
and one in Taylor. This, we should say, is a
pretty effectual using up of whigery in these dig
gins. We are just going to say that it was proba-
bic no other district in the State had done so well,
or that had as small number of wing delegates
elected but in the 18th district there are but two
wings elected-one in Marshall, and one in Ohio.
So that the wings got four members to the lcgsla-
ture west of the Allegheny mountains. The bust
ness of coon skinnng seems to be over in this re-
gion; there few left, now it takes long hunt
to find one. We challenge any district in the
State to show as many gain as we have. We have
gained congressman and three clear gains in the
legislature. We have also gained senator for the
we had joined the wings last year, and voted for
Clay.
