From the Nashville (Tennessee) Union.
The Hermitage.

Under the authority of the act passed by the last
legislature the Hermitage was purchased by the State
The act made it the duty of the Governor to ten
der the place to the general government. Governor
johnson has performed this duty but the late Congress
took no action on the subject. We understand that
there is much opposition to the establishment of another
National Military School, and that it likely Congress
will decline the gift of Tennessee, since the establishment
of branch of the military school at West Point is one
of the conditions of the gift.
In view of this fact the question arises, what will be
done with the Hermitage? The people of Tennessee
demand it of their representatives that the grave Of An
drew jackson shall be forever protected that since the
CcnOaph the remains of one who Was and u.s. and
will be for ali time fresh in their Affections no mercenary
Spectator must desecate the sacred spot by his vanda
step. The proud FORM the lofty character and the he
rOc deeds of jackson belong to the State and so must
his grave. IT, then, Congress- at the approaching ses-
sOn should decline the gift of the State we trust the
legislature will follow the recommendation of the COVER
nor. In his late message Gov johnson suggests that
the Hermitage be set apart the residence of the future
governors of Tennessee The recommendation is emf
nently proper and appropriate.
We have now executive mansion, and the salary is
not sufficient to permit governor of limited private for
tune to bring his family to Nashville. The distance
from the city is not too great and BESIDES no chief ma
glsrate of Tennessee residing at the Hermitage could
prove unaithfu to the high trust repOsed in him.
The glorious traditions around him would make him true
to himself and the country Let the future governors of
Tennessee, then reside at the Hermitage There are
thousand things there to remind Of his character his
history, his opinions and his deeds Nor were those
opinions Of more value then than at this moment Had
the country followed his wise counsels would not now
have been cursed by brood of posteent and corrupt
banks But this is depression, about which we will
say more in a day or two
We repeat that the suggestion of Gov. johnson is
wise and appropriate and hope it will meet with the
approval of the legislature
