Genllemen-A friend. who, by the way, has
always been a strong Democrat, communicated
10 me few days since, The following anecdote,
although very ciHeren, opinions are entertained
as 10 the political views and policy Of Gen. jack
son, there are but few who will no, accord 10 him
the most profound sagacity In military strategy,
and The most indoc1itab!e bravery and persever-
ance, under difficult and dangerous circumstances,
and do not mention this matter with any view
towards political movements or their ultimate re-.
suls, but merely 10 show the opinion that one
great general entertained OF one, who has since
proved that be 100 is entitled 10 the same proud
distinction.
The gentleman 10 whom 1 have referred, visit
ed The Hermitage, at the time thai the great ques-
lion OF the annexation Of Texas was absorbing
public attention. In conversation with Gen.
Jackson, as TO the probable results Of This mess
nre. he inquired OF the venerable Ex-Pesideni,
if war should ensue, whom we could find 10
lead our armies The reply was ian old planter,
down the coast, by the name Of Taylor, is The best
man know. and he will DO il we'll ioo." How
truly has this prediction been verified, and is i,
moi probable that BY the advice Of Gen. Jackson
10 MIR Polk, The man who has won such laurels
Tor himself, and achieved SO much for The homer
and glory OF his country, was placed in that POI
si,ion where he has distinguished himself so con.
spicuously Very respectfully.

In the letter of Mr.. J. Nj. Bolts in which he
declared that he shonld vote for Wilmot Pro-
viso man (John NJ Claylon) Tor President and
which letter was virtually endorsed by The Wings
OF this district on Thursday, ii is positively al
.sged, that both Mr.. Buchanan and Mr. Cass are
in favor of The "Wilmot Proviso" We are as
sured by gentleman OF high charactc', and from
his position fully enabled 10 speak knowingly
that greater mistake was never committed; mat
ii is within his knowledge thai Mr.. Buchanan
was against il aad advised his friends IN Con-
sress 10 oppose it, and that Mr.. Cass spoke
against il In the Senate. Though we have been
defeated in This District we deem it proper say
that our opinions OF Mir. Bolls' anIi-SouIhern po-
slion are sill unchanged, and we proudly relle-
rate all that we deemed it our duty, as Southern
men, TO say, in regard to Mr. BIS connection with
the Wilmol Proyiso. The Spartan Band" OF
Richmond took The true stand upon This ques-
ton, and, though defeated, have the proud
consciousness that they have done their
whole duty. We can certainly find many
gentlemen disposed 10 do full justice TO South
ern rights, upon whom the South can rally,
and the contingency Of supporting Wilmci Pro-
viso man Tor Presidency ought moi for one mo-
men 10 be entertained BY any one entrusted with
Southern interests.

HONOR TO THE PLOUGH.

Though clouds o'ercas, or native sky
And seem 10 dim the sun,
We will not down in laaconr lie,
Or deem The day is done;
The rural arts we loved before
No less we'll cherish now;
And crown the banquet, as OF yore,
With Honor TO the Plough.
In these fair fields, whose peaceful spoil
To faith and hope are given,
Well seek the prize with honest toll,
And leave the rest 10 Heaven.
Well grid US 10 our work like men
Who own holy vow,
And if in Joy We meet asain,
Give Honor TO the Plough.
Let Art, arrayed in magic power,
With Labor hand in hand
Go forth, and now in pelils hour
Sustain sinking fund.
Let never Sloth unnerve line arm,
Or Fear the spirit COW;
These words alone should worka charm
All Honor to The Plough.
The heath redress, the meadow drain,
The latent swamp explore,
And DER The long expecting plain
Diffuse the quickening store;
Then fearless urge the fu.row deep
Upto the mountains brow,
And when the rich results YOU reap
Give Honor 10 the Plough.
So still shall Health by pastures green
And nodding harvest roam,
And sill behind her rustic screen
Shall Virtue find a home:
And while their bower the muses. build
Beneath the neighboring Dough,
Shall many grateful verse be tllled
With Honor to The Plough.
