AT the death of General JAcksoN;we presume Mr.
Doneson must have been overfitty years Of age If
he was then "a high-mnded, honest and honorable
man, he is so ,,ou, despite the calumnes of partisan
leaders, for never change except honestly, after
arriving at that period Of life. -
It is q singular coincidence, that the two great
leaders Of the old parties-who swayed them at will
for more than quarter of century--should now
speak from the tomb, as it were, and commend the
American candidates for the two highest offices within
the gift of the people to the favorable consideration
of their countrymen. The extracts We have given
amount to nothing less, although they were moi
written to slbserve such purpose. There seems
special Providence in the coincidence, and, maybe
there is.
AT all events one thing is certain The honor
character and interests of the whole country may be
safely placed in the hands of men who enjoyed the
unbounded confidence and firm friendship of such
men as CLAY and JACKSON. If this proposition be
not correct, we have certainly happened upon evil
times. -:
