Republicans Of Hamilton county, Ohio, st the last
Congressional election, to publish in the Cincinnati
Commercial Of recent date, Communication which
contains what we verify believe to be Islander upon
the fair fame Of ANDREW JACKSON. As one Of our
Nashville contemporaries has taken the trouble to
reprint the SANDER 50 near the Hermitage it is due
to the truth Of history, least that We should give
it passing notice. As currently circulated, it is
as follows:
,sIn this connection desire to give bit Of I'M
written history for which have the testimony Of
gentleman present 81 the interview alluded TO- II Is
well known to the political portion Of our commu'
nifty that the late Moses Dawson was warm per
sonal friend OF Andrew jackson. They CORES,
bonded regularly and General Jackson never passed
ibrougb mis- city without having interview with
his Old and trusty friend In 1887, on ms return
from washington after the expiration OF his second
rorn General jackson had talk with Moses DaW-
son, in the course Of which he usea the removing
language referring to James Bucnsnan' NY PoAl-

him as the reptile Of Pennsylvania After the Ma

wrote to Moses Dawson, expressing his sympathy
with Van Buren, in his defeat, and added, but
rejoice at the defeat Of Buchanan" This bit Of
personal history truthful and reliable, and COM
mend il TO the notice Of the Enquirer
And our patriotic ueighbors are pleased to add
that this statement with various collateral conside
rations which they enumerste, "are enough to sat
isfy any candid man, he (Nlr. BUCHANAN is IN
worthy Of confidence, and cannot be safely trusted
It is true that the personal and political relations
always subsisting between Gen. Jackson and Mr.
DAWSON, we're those Of intimaey-but it is equally
true, as hundreds Of the Generals old friends IN
this community, with whom he was quite as init
mate. can testify that he entertained no such IN
favorable opinions Of Mr. BUCHANAN as those refer
red to.
1t is not astonishing that the defeated and disaP
pointed Mr. DAY, should be so interruptions as to
trump up this SANDER nor that he should have sue
ceeded in persusding Mr.. RBEMLYN, to say that he
'heard the conversation referred to, and can bear
testimony TO its substantial correctness" But 1t Is
astonishing that this very same Mr.. DAY, and this
very same Mr. REEuLYE, while making their Black
Republican speeches throughout Ohio, during the
last presidential campaign, and when they we're ut
tering every thing that was utterable against Mr..
BUCHANAN. said not one word to this point.
If the SANDER had not been repeated, and received
some sort Of endorsement here, We should have
thought it entirely unworthy Of our notice. As it
is we feel bound to say that hundreds Of General
JACKSON old friends who sull survive in midst
and who in the last years of his life frequent hold
conversations with him upon public affairs will bear
witness as one man, that in their judgment, Mr..
DAYS "bit Of unwritten history" is from begin
ming to end, AN UEuITGATED ISLANDER.
TIE SOUTHERN BLACK REPUBLICAN KNOW
NOTHNGS.
il WILDE difficult task to make the honest masses
Of both political parties in the South, believe that
the votes Of these Southern Know NOthings in Con-
press which shall be cast against the LecOmPtOn
Constitution, we're not given for confederation
Such base treaohery to the South could not have
been purchased except at high price. In order to
keen cur readers posted as to what is going on, we
make the following extract from the Washington
oorrespopdence of the New York Herald Read it,
everybody:
.. The late movements of South Americans in
Congress upon Lecompton very significant In
trigue money and sp0lls are at work. You Will re
collect the long ,ony over the election Of the Speak
or OF the last Congress- and how at last It was ended
bv the adoption Of the plurality rule But the tscts
in connection with the adoption Of that rule have
never been fully stated. The difficulty was solved
NV a i,inf stock combination fund of thirty thOus
ami dollars-twenJy thousand from the patent lobby
Iobbers and ten thousand from the man who should
be elected under the compact, House Printer. ms
general fund IL is said, was divided among the SIX
or eight indispensable Know NOthings Of the House,
10 the extent OF two or three thousand piece, the
rest being absorbed in oyster supPers and other con
tingeucies But Il not till after the plurality
rule was adopted, and the election Of the Speaker
and the Printer, that this fund was finally dIsburs
ed In the interval IL was placed IN the hands Of
celebrated Northern niger WOrshlpper who held II
as the custodian till the required services were duly
performed and then divided 1t according to the bar
Tho success Of that scheme in all its parts has
doubtess suggested the present joint stock oppOsl
tion movement on foot in regard TO Lecompton. The
Soulb Americans of the House are in the political
market and there pubIcans have found out the
drift of the wind; but from the commanding lmpor-
lance of the great question at issue, these South
Americans set themselves at high figure, and It Is
said that al least 100000 will be needed TO con-
vince them of the alleged abominable Lecompton
frauds forgeries and peIuries Of John Calhoun
Jack Henderson s. Co. But this sum can easily be
raised for the old lobby patent j)bbers are still IN
the field and have millions Of capital 10 WORK WIN
More important STILL the b8nkrupts Of the late re-
yuIsiou and their herslsud assigns, TO the number
of ten thousand and with assets TO the amount OF
hundred and fifty millions of dollars, will oheerfully
owe a hundred thousand million, or even i've
millions. TO have their debts nicely sponged out by
ro.trospective law So look out for a grand spells
combination of patient jObbers, bankrupt jobbers
Northern Presidential jobbeTs and South Americans

The Washington correspondent OF the St. Louis
republican says:
The conflict in the House is going to be fierce
one Several Southern men have been voting with
the Black Republicans in certain preliminary meas
ures which will indicate where they will fall upon
the final vote. Not the least among these is Col
Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky. The Louisville
district through him, is acting cheek by Jole with
that reasonable party whom hentuckiaps affect so
much TO despise Louisville is worse mIsrepresent-
ed in Congress than ST. Louis, and il may yet
become more intensely ab0liuonized

Enquirer says:
