Governor Clay. of Alabama, was near Gen. Jack
son, who was himself sitting on the sofa in the hall
Of his residence; and each person entered, Gov.
Clay introduced him to the hero, and he passed
along. When Judge Douglas was thus introduced,
General Jackson raised his still brilliant eyes, and
gazed for moment in the countenance of the Judge,
still retaining his hand: "Are you the Mr.. Douglas,

Thus spoke the old hero his countenance bright
ened by emotions which it is impossible for us to de-
scribe. We turned to look at Douglas. He was

shaking the aged veterans hand he rose and left the
room. Certainly Gen. Jaskson had paid him the
