 "Sam," am going to bid you long adieu, you are an old seduccr and by your false tales and fine speeches. you ssduced me to join your ranks and fight under your banner. 1 soon found out your banner was not the true blue Sam," didn't you say to one of your sons some time ago--" You had not so much against foreigners as you had to the confound- d old democratic party?" My advice to you would be, to wear longer tail to your coat, so as not to expose the rings on your tail, for by them men know you to be the same old coon.
 Adieu "Sam," for your ranks do not suit a true democrat to fight in. If forgiven for my folly in joining your order, from this day for ward, 1 will always be found fighting under the banner of democracy

Massachusetts Politics.

The Republicans and Fremont American
Conventions met at Worcester on Tuesday.
The Republican Convention was well attended
Homer Bartlett, of Lowell, presided. Among
the Vice-Presdenis were Joslnn QuINcY, SAM
uEL HoAR and CHARLES FRAScls ADAMS.
The Fremont and American Convention.
which was also numerously ATTENDED, chose
LUTHER J. FLETCHER, of Lowell, President.
The Republican Convention was addressed
by Hon. Mr.. BANKS, who urged union and har-
mony.
In the afternoon both the Republican and
American Conventions united in an Electoral
Ticket, as follows;
Al Large-Julius Rockwell and Thomas
Colt, of Pittsfeld.
Dissatisfaction Vinson, of Edgartown; Az
ariah Wheeler, of North Bridgwater; George
II. Russell, of West Roxsbnry George obi
orne and Lucius B. Marsh, Of Boston, George
ii. Devereaux, Of Salem: James NJ. Usher, of
Medford; ]. Nesmith, OF Lowell; Jas. c.
Knowton, of Wooster; Charles Forbes. of
Northampton, and Franklin Ripley, Of Green
field.
Previously, the American Fremonters had
nominated DAYTON for Nice-PTesident in place
OF JOHNSTON, and pledged themselves 10 labor
for the reelection of Mr.. SuMER to the Senate
The Fremont Americans also pledge themselves
to hold Congressional and County Conventions
on the same day with the Republicans, with a
view TO union.
The question then came up in the Repuhli-
can Convention as to adopting the American
State ticket, including GARDINER for Governor.
This question was debated at length, until at
the evening session the minority, opposed to
GARDINER, appeared determined to s,ave of the
question, and there was considerable excite
mcnt and confusion. Finally a motion was
adopted, that the Republicans would nominate
no State ticket. This is satisfactory to the
Fremont Americans and insures the united vote
of both parties for the Fremont ticket.

GEN. JACKSON AT A METHODIST
CONFERENCE.

The Western Christian Advocate re-
cords the following interesting anecdote
of jackson The scene of it was in the
Tennessee Annual Conference, held Mt
Nashville, and to which he had been in
vited by a vote of the members, that
they might have the pleasure of an intro
1sction to him:
The committee was appointed, and
the General fixed the time for 9 o'clock
ON Monday morning. The Conference
room beingtoo small to accommodate the
hundreds who wished to witness the in
production, one of the churches was sub
stituted, and an hour before the time
filed to OVERLOOKING. Front seats we're
reserved for the members of the Confer
ence, which was called to order by the
Bishop. seated in a large chair in the al
tar, just before the pulpit. After pray
era the committee retired, and a minute
after entered, conducting the man whom
all delighted to honor. They led him to
the Bishops chair, which was made va
cant tor him, the Bishop meanwh-l lie oc-
cupying another place within tho altar.
The Secretary was directed to call the
uames,of the members of the Conference,
which he did in alphabetical order, each
coming forward and receiving from the
Bishop a personal introduction to the
ex-President, and Immediately retiring
TO give place to the next.
The ceremony had nearly been com
pleted, when the secretary read the name
of Rev. james t; an elderly gen.
fleman, with a weather-beaten face, clad
in a suit of Jeans, arose and came for
ward. Few seemed to know him. He
had always been on circuit or the from
tier; and though always at conference,
he never troubled it with long speeches,
but kept his seat, and said but little
that little however, was always to the
purpose. Mr.. 7. came forward and was
introduced to General jackson. He
turned his face towards the General, who
said, lit seems to me that We have met
before" The preacher, apparently en-
barrassed, said ST was with you throu'
the Greek campaign--one Of your body
guard at the battle of Horse Shoe-and
fought under your command at New Or
leans" The General rose slowly from
his seat, aud throwing his long, withered
bony arms around the preachers neck,
exclaimed: "We'l soon meet where
there's no war-where the smoke of bat
tie never rolls up its sulphurous incenseI"
Never before or since nave 1 seen so
many tears shed as then flowed from the
eyes of that assembly. Every eye was
moist with weeping. Eleven years have
passed away since that day. The old
hero has been more than ten in his
silent and narrow home. The voice that
cheered the dropping fight, and thunder
ed in the rear of routed armies is silent
forever. The old preacher. too, has
fought his last battle, laid his armor by,
and gone home to his eternal rest.
