aTHE CASE OF sALoMoN. y

We have seen remarks in many Of the journals o.
our respectable contemporaries regarding the inter
esting matter which is connected with this case and
our revolutionary history. A continued press Of
other matters has heretofore excluded the brief notice
which we had drawn up from the autographs which
we have seen, and which we will at an early day,
give To our readers. In the mean while, we trust
that whatever indemnity may be due for losses
arising from patriotic services and sacrifices, as
shown by the memorial and documents, may meet
with that favorable notice from Congress to which
they may be fairly entitled Certain il s that these
antique autographs from the pens of such men as
Madison, the Lees, and the French generals during
The war Of the revolution, are curious and worthy
Of inspection.

DEDICATION OF JACKSON HALL.

The committee appointed TO prepare a programme
and adopt such other arrangements as may he deem
ed necessary for the dedication Of Jackson Hall
on the 4th Of July next, respectfully report:
That they deem the anniversary of the declara'
ton Of our national independence peculiarly appro'
pirate for the dedication of building named in
honor Of Andrew Jackson. Nurtured amid the
trials Of the revolution, and a partIcipaior IN Ils
conflicts and sacrifices, he was thoroughly imbued
with the great principles Of popular sovereignty
which triumphed in its success. His career-from
Obscure and friendess orphanage TO the leadership
Of millions Of freemen in their onward march TO
greatness and glory-furnishes the striking "
ustTailon Of the admirable working Of our free ln-
stitutions The man Of the people, he was ever the
jealous and devoted champion OF the peoples hts
and interests and the stern and lnhexlbe opponent
Of every system which defrauds labor Of iH earn.
ngs and lls the rich mans field with the sweat Of
the poor mans brow. His life was devoted to the
service Of his county, and his most feryen sspira-
uons were for It's prosperity and glory. his deeds
have shed mperishable lustre upon the American
name; his virtues have exalted the human race. As
Americans, patriots, as friends Of popular rights,
il is fitting that we do homage TO his memory on
day consecrated TO the principles of which he was
the illustrous type and champion
The friends Of General Jackson are therefore
quested 10 assemble at the old ralying ground-the
site Of the hickory pole on Pennsy yvania avenue ,
between 18th and l4th streets, at o'clock on the
morning Of the 4th Of July, when the line will be
formed under the direction Of he chief marshal and
his assistants, and the procession will move pre-
cisely at 9 O'Clock.
The flag Of the United States will be the only
banner carried in the procession. Arrangements
have been made for the attendance Of the Washing
ton brass band
The hall will be placed in charge OF the commit
tee of reception, who will have the means Of pre-
serving and enforcing order.
When the procession shall have entered the hall
the meeting will be organized by the appointment of
chairman and secretary After prayer by the cler-
gyman in attendance, the purposes of Messrs.
Blair & Ryes will be communicated to the meeting,
and reply on benalf Of the Democratic Association
Of Washington will be made by John Z. Norris,
esq.
The ceremonies Of the day will conclude with the
reading Of the Declarations Of Independence.
All friends Of General Jackson are cordially in
vited to participate on this occasion, and suitable
places will be assigned TO all who are in attendance
As soon as the arrangements perfected, pro-
gramme more in detail will be published.

A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.

As Lieutenant Parham, OF one Of the Washington
volunteer companies was about to leave the city to
Join his corps, he was presented with beautiful
sword and belt by J. P Pepper, esq, accompanied
with the following address:
--I.IeureuanI rARHAM: numuer your friends
having learned that you have nobly volunteered
your services to our beloved country, and are
about to Join the army under our American Taylor
(as the Mexcans call him. we have no doubt that
you will soon learn to make the whip-stch.
"Now sir, as testimony of the esteem in which
you are held as a gentleman, and confidence placed
in you as an officer, permit me, in behalf of mum
Der of your friends, to present you with this SWORD
and belt. Take it, sir; and if you meet your coun
try's foe in deadly conflict, look him in the eye
strike, strike frm--strke home. May the God o
