MORE ERRORS.

We would respectfully advise the Baltimore
American to spare his ingenuity, and not build up
such pyramid of differences upon SO slight a foun-
dation as the following article from his paper of this
morning exhibits. He will excuse us for saying
that, ingenious the whole structure may be, it is
not solid. Test his assumption by the fact, and it
will prove castle built in the Clouds We under
stand the negotiation about Oregon has not been,
and will not probably be- transferred to London.
|Of COURSE all the other differences fall with this sup
position. Why should it be- Cannot an accom-
plished minister penipotentary be sent to London,
without devolving every negotiation into his hands,
We think ourselves bound to say this much, to ar
rest at the whole series of differences which this
article embraces. Here it is:
"The mission of the Louis McLane to England is an
indication may presume that the negotiations Wash.
ngton, the Oregon question: afford an,
probability OF satisfactory settlement We infer that
party the other has proposed lau which has been
rejected; that in view this condition OF affairs the
is to be transferred to London with the hope tina,
something may yet be DONE even at this stage OF the bust

Istion similar to this

There appears to be other way Of understanding this
movement of the administration The negotiations the
Oregon question having been begun ut Washington tho
Official organ having declared than that the,
would proceed there under the of the government and
not elsewhere-it would be strange indeed II the whole
negotiations should be taken from Secrear,

ascertaned that the dipomatis Washington had
themselves precuded from all prospect OF successful

Besides availng himself Of the services of sklfu nego

self made his unqualified declaration about right
Oregon when negotiations in progress that very
ubjecta declaration which the British cabinet regarded

The following is, perhaps, the last written state

have seen the original in the hands of friend of
General Armstrong, on which is based an applica-
don for pension; and, with leave of that friend,
present it to our readers 1t is in Gen. Jackson

before his DEATH In it., there is nothing tremuous;
but carries the same bodness of hand as though ID
had been written ten years ago. Gen. Armstrong

gone. The appointment reflects much credit on the
discerment and good Judgment of President Polk;
for more gallant and meritorious person could not
have been selected. We understand he has taken

RE.rEcr TO THE MEMORY OF GEN. JACKSON

RrspKcr TO THE MEMORY OF GEN. JACKSON

|dent of the United States oil the public Offices were
closed and all public business suspended during the
|day. !,
AT the opening of the circuit court the death Of
General jackson having been announced to the
|court by Mr.. Morft, member Of the bar, accom-
panied by some appropriate remarks, and a motion
for the adjournment Of the court having been made,
Chief Justice Cranch responded on behalf Of the
court and ordered that the court be adjourned to the
following day; and it was adjourned accordingly.
The Offices Of the corporation were also closed

lefty, and all public business therein suspended du-
|ring the remainder Of the day.

GENERAL JACKSON.

This illustrious patriot, all loved and honored to-
the very last has gone the mansions Of rest and
left void, which none can fill, in the bosom Of the
nation.
OF the countless characters who figure on the
theatre of public life, has uster claim to the
favor of his fellow-cit zens, to the applause of his
tory, and (may we not venture to hope) to the
plores of immortality, than the hero who tow
cred above the crowd, and gave his heart to-
his country, and his vengeance to her foes. He
who. regardless Of himself, lived for the benefit o
others, and always devoted his commanding powers
TO honor and to serve mankind, deserves more rec
ompense than national rewards, than funeral cere-
mopies and impressive tablets to canonize the dead,
can bestow The voice of praise may ascend onf
high; monuments may be emulous to commemorate
his worth; the incense Of human gratitude may be
freely lavished on the story of his life; and pa
,riotsm may guard with more than vestal vigilance
his holy dust. But a full and perfect recompense
can come only from that high and mighty Arbter,
rewards each victim of mortality according to his
works. "Omnibts q,i patriam conserrarin, adiu-
rsrni, aprerini, cerim in cello defnttm iocim,
,ubi beati zero semPiierno Jrutlnt,r."
Yet every demonstration of respect which CRATE
full patriots can bestow the conduct and character
of the mighty dead is justly demanded by the re-
cent loss, and present bereavement of the nation.
The highest authorities at Washington have plainly
marshaled the way to evince national gratitude;
and the people will, doubtless follow the example.
the claims be neglected, and the rights unpaid Of
departed worthy who carried the glory of his
country so high, then folly, faction, and ingrati-
tude need never despair. But we confde in the
Justice and patriotism Of our fellow-ctizens every
where to honor the memory of great public bene-
factor, who, while living, "asked nothing that was
not clearly right and submitted to nothing that was
wrong
al certain that fixed abode in Heaven is allotted TO all
who guard preserve and strengthen their country where
they enjoy happiness without end"-C Cicero de O6eiis.

FUNERAL OF GEN. JACKSON.

The following interesting account of the last cere-
monies over the tomb of General jackson is from
1.-THE letter of gentleman in Nashville addressed to
another in this city:
"NAsHvILLE, June 10, 1s45.
"MY DEAR SIR. have just returned from the Her
3mitage, where l attended the funeral of General
Jackson. 1t estimated fairly, think, that from
II, 500 to 5000 persons were present. There were
rising two hundred carriages in attendance to say
3nothing of the horses which, as fastened to the
lboughs Of the trees in front of the Hermitage yard
literally filled the woods. At IL O'Clock, a. m,
Rev. Mr. Edgar took position in the porch, front of
the front paror and pronounced most appropriate
)prayer-happily abiding this great and dstin-
guished man Of our nation, who had lived as a pa
Irio and Christian and invoking the blessings of
Heaven to sustain and comfort the bereaved. A
psalm was sung next, commencing
",why should we start and fear to die7
What timorous worms mortals are &c. SC.

heard fall from his lips He endeavored to do full
Justice TO the high public and private character Of
Gen. jackson; and he came much nearer to the ac-
