ANDREW JACKSON nov,

How is it?
ANDREW JACKSON Dosr1sos.
The following elegant, refined, beautiful, and inn
pressive speech delivered in the K N. national
Convention by Rev. VIC. Brownlow, Immediately
after the nomination Of Maj. Donelson for the Vice
Presidency. 1t is Tennessce's response to the non
ination. or course it will be read, amid laundering
applause at all the ratification meetings. How these
old Federaists, all Of sudden, love and venerate
Andrew jackson 1! They showercd upon him, dur
ing his life, all manner of abuse-the Richmond
Wing, and other sheets now supporting Donelson on
account of his name, even followed the old hero to
the communion table, and pronounced him hypo-
critic and tyrant in his last hours; but now it is
the great and good jackson, and hurrah for his
adopted nephew But listen to Brownlow-hc speaks
withrthe JUNCTION of bully, and with the lungs of
a John Donkey" Hear him!-
Loud cries were now made for Brownlow, of
Tennessee. On taking the stand in response, he
said that his speech on this OCCASION would be, like
all his speeches, short and sweet like roasted mag
60. For seventeen years he had performed the
dreadful service of editing political paper, and he
could say in that connection that his paper had the
largest circulation of any political paper in Tenncs-
see. lie had fought hard and long for the Wing par
ty but he had fit to leave that organization.
Why, with Millard Fillmore to lead and even with
josh. Gddings behind him, could carry our
State. But, with this large, patriotic, greasy Ter
nesse.an, (pointing to Major Done>onD the Pierce
party will be trarscendental nothing. lie should
jump higher and squall louder than any in Ten
nessee, and would open the ball at Knoxville on
Monday next. [App!ause and laughter. 1t has
been understood, Us arranged, that Major Donelson
would be put ON the ticket, with Andrew Jackson
in big letters and Donclson invisible, and then the
old line Dep6ocrats would think that old Hickory
had comsko life again. lie then proposed the party
should 3Spersc, having done the good work."
NEE WAR SLooPs.-The Senate, on Monday last,
passed the bill for the construction of sloops of
war, 10y vote of 80 to s. This was in accordance
with the recommendation of Mr.. Dobbin, Of date
February 25. In the course of the debate Mr.. ADJ
ans of Mississippi, opposed the bill, and gave
reason that he "would not take on trust the mere
recommendation of the Secretary" because he "dic
fered from him in opinion the construction Of the
late law in regard to the naval board " 4 brilliant
reason truly. Mr. Reid, of North Carolina, replied
to Mr.. Adams in defense of Secretary Dobbin. The
Wilmington Journal, noticing this vote, justly ob-
serves
1.-The large vote by which the bill passed, shows
that the recommendation and judgment of the Sccre
tary OF the Navy was more in accordance with the
views OF the Senate than the growing of the carpers
against energetic reform. Ii things to remain
unchanged, and abuse continue unchecked, until an
absolutely perfect mode of redress be devised, then
farewell TO reform, and welcome abuse forever and
day. The issue in regard to Naval Reform had to be
met, and was bound to create disturbance whenever
| or however met the Secretary of the Navy had
the moral courage to take the responsibility

and that country will sustain faithful servant"
| DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL CoNvENr1oN-The
time has arrived for the Democracy begin to take
action in regard to appointing delegates the Ma
tional Democratic Convention to be held in Cncin-
| natl on the I'd June next. The mode of reprcsell.
! tation is prescribed thus Two delegates for each
Congressional District, and two for the State at
| large.
1t will be seen that the meeting in Robeson coun-
ty recommends that the delegates from this Com
| gressonal District to the State Convention, while
i'll Raleigh, perform the duty of selecting suitable
delegates from this Ghe 3d. District to the National
| Convention.
| We are decidedly in favor Of this plan. 1t will
save the trouble Of holding District Convention at
time of year when farmers cannot conveniently
leave home, and it strikes minds that no Oiec
ton could be raised against the plan thus suggested
| Fay. Cdrolinian.
No, Carolina will be entitled to twenty dele
gates i'll the Cincinnati Convention-two from each
District and four from the State at large.
"A RELIE-ABLE MAN-Thc Register says the Edi
tor Of the Fayetteville Argus is "a man you car
rely on" Reason-the Editor as in duty bound
and as he is sworn to do, goes for Fillmore and An
drew Jackson The Editors of the Obscrv
or, published in the same town-though they arr
better Wings than either the Register the Argus
do not so the ticket; and, therefore, according t,
the Register, they not men ''you can rely on.
Now we have nothing to allegc against the Editor
of the Argus and Register, as men but as Editor
they both among the most relie-able in all tn
caverns Of Know Nothingism. 1t is only necessary
to start K. n. fb; and ifthey do not keep it warn
and fresh by due circulation, tken there is no virtu
in types, printers ink, and paper. They enjoy
reputation in this respect which needs no euogy.
