reelection of Horace Mann, and the triumph
of the Free Soil and Democratic parties, which
resulted in the election of Mr.. Sumner to the
Senate His declining health has, for the last
two years, withdrawn him, to some extent, from
political activity.
Mr.. jackson was not q learned man; but his
roundabout common sense, and his practical
wisdom, made him reliable counsellor, in af:
fairs financial, political, and religious. He
combined two elements of character not easily
united. While he labored diligently and eff
GENTLY to develop the material resources of his
neighborhood, he was even more jealous to
advance its moral and spiritual welfare, and to
promote every enterprise involving the interests
of humanity. He was theorist but his great
theory, in the light of which he lived and hoped,
was, that all men are entitled to equal rights,
byvirtue of a common redemption by the same
Saviour's blood. His philanthropy was sus-
tanned by religious convictions, and therein
found basis more lasting than any which rests
on mere sentiment or a generous nature In
his last hours, he is said to have been comforted
as he called to mind his services for Freedom.
Let the many hearts, struggling for this cause,
draw consolation from this good mans death,
as they anticipate their own last hour, illumi-
mated by blessed memories of great conflicts,
and glorious visions of the victory at hand.

OBITUARY.

Died in Newton, Mass, February u, Hon.
WILLIAM JACKSON, in his I'D year. The title
of honorable, if prefxed only TO such names,
would be no unmeaning compliment. William
Jackson represented his district in Congress
for two terms, being the candidate of the Anti
Masons, in opposition to General Dearborn:
This is the most unimportant thing to be said
of him. Of Congressman, there have been
multitudes; there is hardly graveyard by the
wayside which does not contain their forgot
ten dust For forty years, Mr.. jackson was
connected with an Orthodox Congregational
Church; holding, most of the time, some re-
sponsble office in it, either as deacon, superin-
tendent of the Sabbath School, or teacher of
the Bible Class He was prominent as an ad-
vocate of temperance. For eight years, was
President of the American Missionary Society.
He left no enterprise affecting the good of the
community in which he lived, unattended to.
A railroad project, calculated to develop the
resources of his town, languished; but, under
his auspices, it revived, and was consummated.
He was the early friend of the railroad system
in his State. He was President of the Bank in
his town, and gave stability to its finances, and
currency to its paper. He was . prominent
member of the Liberty party, and for some
years its candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
He was willing to lead forlorn hope as can
didate, but his distate for Office made him
decline when there were any chances of sue
cess. Since l848, he was member OF the
Free Soil party, and was active IN securing the

-jority over the Locofoco party. We have con-
fdence to believe that you cannot draw off very
many.
The Detroit advertiser, which was considered
a leading Wing, paper undertook to divide the
party last fall, and to play into the hands of
the Locofoco party. After the Republican
party had made an AntiSlavery ticket, the
Adcertiser man worked hard in trying to get
up Wing ticket but it luckily proved to be
a failure. 1t is true, however, that he succeed
ed in getting up Wing Convention but the
Convention failed to make any nominations.
After his failure in making nomination, he
still kept up his fire against the Republican
party; and he had few followers in this war
fare, who either stayed at home, or voted the
Locofoco ticket. But we were victorious, after
all his efforts to divide and destroy us and /
hope and believe that your attempt to draw off
and divide our ranks will also bAa total fail
ure. | think we shall sustain our Republican
and Anti-Slavery organization, in defiance of
all our enemies we have truth, justice, hui
mainly, and patriotism, on our side, and there
fore we must be victorious. We are Republi-
cans: our motto is, No more slave States no
more slave territory; no more slavery to King
Alcohol; no more traffic in alcoholic drink no
more misruling of the American People by
those who are not Americanized; no more pau
pers and convicts from foreign lands; and no
more slave-catching by Northern Freemen.
These are our principles and if you will let
us alone, we will carry them out.
But / took up my pen to inform you that
decline renewing my subscription to your pa
per, as do not like to support a paper which
| believe to be injurious to the cause of Liber
ty and human rights. But, sir, assure you,
that l think less of the american Organ, re-
Gently established at your place, than l do of
your paper. / have this day received notice
from the Adoertiser Office, that my time with
that paper will expire with the next number,
and expect to order it to stop.
Yours, truly, c. SHANAHAN.

ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE.
CAssoroLIs, CAss Co., MrcHIGAN,

CAssoPoLIs, CAss Co., MICHIGAN,
March |, 1856.
To the Editor ofths National Era:
feel the importance of sustaining Anti-Sla-
very papers, and have felt that your paper was
doing good service In the cause of Liberty and
republican principles; but recently much space
has been devoted to Anti Americanism, instead
of Anti-Slayery. Now, sir, when you oppose
the Americans and Republicans, and favor the
Catholic influence, you do just what is done by
every Locofoco paper in the country; it is, in
fact, q Locofoco hobby. And the Locofoco
party in the North being now strictly Pro-Sla-
very party, therefore l do not think it proper
TO patronize any paper that plays into their
hands.
Now, sir, suppose the Frees in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin, and Michigan, should take your advice, and
draw of from the Republican or American par
~. il would 90 divide the party in all those
States, as to put the Locofoco party in power
again. and then farewell to Freedom; for it
would be taken as clear and positive evidence
that those States were in favor OF the extension
of Slavery. The Locofoco papers in Michigan
charge the Republican party with being the
Know Nothing party, and say all manner OF evil
against them falsely. Theycharge that the entire
Republican or Fusion ticket was composed OF
Know Nothings, and they chargeour Republican n
Legislature with Know Nothingism. Now, sir, If
this charge be true, then the Know Nothing party
in Michigan is Auti-Slavery; and if Anti-Saye-
ry, why would you wish to divide it? You know
what kind constructions were given by our State
Legislature to our Senators In Congress those
instructions were sound Republicanism. They
speak the opinions of the Republican party IN
our State; and we think that we shall continue
10 hold and endesvor to carry out those opin-
ions. 1t may be that the influence of your
paper may cause a few TO draw of from the
Republican party; but We hope that the num-
Der viii be 80 small as to leave us in the ma
