woRDs OF JACKSON.

: n.
The following is an extranct rom the fare-.
well address of Andrew Jackson /; words ftly
spoken, and worthy of the consideration OF
every citizen at the present time
ssThe citizens of every State should studs
a,,slv avoid everything calculated to wound
fi,s sensibjlity or offend the just pride Of the
peoDie of other States; and they should
frown upon any proceedings within their Own
borders likely to disturb the tranquility OF
their political brethren in other portions OF
the Union. In country SO extensive as the
United States; and with pursuits so.yaIled,
the internal regulations OF the several states
must frequently differ from one another IN
important par6culars5 and this difference IS
unayoidably increased by the varying primer.
nles which had taken deep root in their social
relations before the Revolution, aud therefore,
of necessity, influencing their policy since
they became free and independent States
But each State has the unqucstionable
RIGHT to regulate its own internal concerns
according to its own pleasure; and while 1t
does not interfere with the rights OF the
Union, every State must be the sole judge OF
the measures proper to secure the safety OF,
its citizens and promote their happiness; and
all the efforts on the part OF the people OF
other States to cast odiunl upon their institu-
tons, and all measures calculated to disturb
their rights of property, or to put in jeopardy
their peace and internal tranquility. are in
direct opposition to the spirit IN which the
Union was formed, and must sendanger its
safety Motives of philanthropy may be as
signed Tor this unwarranttbfe interierenca55
aud such men may persuade themselves for
moment that they are laboring in the cause
of humanity. and asserting the rights of the
human race; but every one upon sober re-
Election, will see that nothing but mischief
can come from their improper assault upon
the feelings and rights of others. Rest as
sured, that the men found busy in this work
of discord are not worthy of your confidence,
and deserves your strongest reprobation."

The FOOTBALLS Of Destiny.

We are bound to extend and spread until
VIC absorb the entire continent of America,
including the adjacent islands, and become
one grand ocean-bound Republic. / do not
care whether you like it or not you cannot
help it 1t is the decree of Providence
This Continent was set apart as an asylum
for the oppressed of the whole world, and as
a nursery for Liberty, and here the people
are collecting from all parts of the world,
and taking shelter under the shadows of the
great tree of Liberty.

Judge Douglas in the Valley.

The Harrisonburg Democrat of Friday last
says:
"Judge Douglas trip through the Valley,
though rapid, was nevertheless peculiarly
gratifying to his MANY friends. Having con-
fronted his enemies, and scattered to the winds
the misrepresentation of the press and slang
whangers, the honest yeomanry are railying
by hundreds to his standard. Misrcpresen-
tation can no longer cheat him out Of their
support. Hundreds OF men who have been
alienated from him by the shameful ISLANDERS
which have been proragated against him,
have determined to give him hearty and
cordial support at the polls, THIS are hno'o
to be true. The Valley is on fire for Douglas
and will rebuke the seeessionists in a voice of
thunder at the proper time. J"

Another Democratic Organ in Virginia Get
fer Douglas?

It will seen by the following article from
the fredericksburg Recorder, hatthatjournal,
SO long devoted to the fortunes of Senator
Hunter, has declared in favor of the election
of Douglas and johnson. 1t defines its po-
sition in its issue of Friday last, as follows
To-day we fling our flag to the breeze. 1t is
needless to add that VIC shall follow that flag
to the death or victory. We are aware that
by this act we risk our very sustenance, Tor
in this paper consists very nearly the whole
of what we possess, but we will not stitie our
convictions and our conscience Tor any earth
ly consideration.
With those who have seen fit to withdraw
their subscriptions because we have exhibit
ed the independence and honesty which every
individual with spark OF manlIness should
be proud to possess, we part with pleasure
to those who have stood by us aud repaired
the loss, we offer our gratitude, and hope Tor
the opportunity to repay their kindness.
In the meantime, we call upon all national,
Union-loying democrats to rally around US,
and assist in striking dlsmay IN tue ranks OF the
enemy and redeem the country tr.m the
power OF political tricksters We have no
issue with the people, but we mean by this
act to declare ''war tothe knife, and knife to
the death" against the men who are dellber-
ately and wickedly attempting the disrup-
ton of the Democratic party,a sure means for
the destruction of this great government, to
the preservation of which our powers of head
and heart are pledged:
To the honest masses of the people, where
public virtue can only be found, in this crisis
we make an earnest appeal for a candid hear
ing, and if their Judgement condemn US we
are willing to stand convicted OF error but
We will not be ruled bypolitical wire-workers
and our course shall not be shaped by men
who have forfeited our confidence.
When raw recruits, and protested Demo
Gratis who have not yet emerged from the
darkness of Know Nothingism presume to
dictate to those whose record stands unlm-
peachable, aud whose devotion to the party has
been signalizcd, not by hunt for Office, but
continual sacrifice, every instinct of our nature
rebels against their arrogance and insolence,
and we are determined to suffer death sooner
than yield submission. We had rather die
shrouded in the flag of nationality than grow
fat on the fruits of sectionalsm.

Douglas, Concord Speech.

The President told me that if 1 did not
obey him, and vote to force that Lecompton
constitution on the people of Kansas against
their will, that he would take off the head of
every friend had in Office. tApplausc.] l
told him in reply that my friends were as
dear to me as those of any other man could
be to him but that if [ had a friend who
was not willing. to lose his Office rather than
to degrade me into tool of the executive
power, he did not deserve to be my friends.

A LuD1cRoUs scENE.-It has been stated
that the Prince of Wales, during his late visit
to Quebec, knighted the Speaker of the Ca
madam Parliament. Some writer describes
the scene rather ill-naturedly, and probably
with good deal of exaggeratiop, as fol-
lows:
When the happy man who was to receive
the honor came forward, he dropped upon
both knees, in a most ridiculous aud absurd
manner. causing smile TO pass over the face
of his Royal Highaess, and making the scene
painful one for all beholders: Having re-
ceived the customary touch with the sword,
and having been recognized in his new rank
by the Prince, the Speaker rose, displayed
rent in the knee of his pants. and stepped
back so quickly upon his gown tail as nearly
to cause his KnightshiR to fall upon the
ground. This is one of the scenes

so rampant. Their attempts to get up meet

change going on there in favor of Douglas

An Armed Neutral.

hnI' dllauulSuan, OI OnlO, VINO mane
himself rather conspicuous by catechising
John Brown while he lay bleeding ia
prison, has inst delivered a speech in
Congress on this subject, which embod-
les precisely the notion which no patriot.
ic man of common sense should now per-
NIT himself to indulge in his closet,
much less to utter on the house tops.
Mr.. Vallandighsm said that.hs "occu.
pied the position of armed neutrality"
He was Western man-but he was
mot Pro-Slavery man; he had a
serene indifference on the sVJiect." He
had, however. "no sympathy and but
very little good feeling for the North. ="
He was "bound to the North by no ties,
except By the strongest Of all ties-a COM
mon language and common country"
How Mr.. Vallandighsm contrives to
keep himself clear of all sympathy and
good feeling" for a section to which he
admits himself "bound by the strongest
Of all ties" is a mystery for himself to
solve. AS he at the same time repudiates
the possession of any Southern princi-
piles" he probably finds all his contra
dictions and inconsistencies harmonized
by the great unity of nothingness which
evidently reigns in the convictions and
the ideas of this model legislator Mr.
Vallandigham assured his fellow-repre
sentatives, that the country holds its
breath in suspense to catch the slightest
word which falls from the lips of gen.
tlemen present" in the halls of Congress.
Possibly Mr.. Vallandigham rather over
estimates here the thirst of the nation for
Congressional eloquence. What the ma
ton longs for from all whom it hath
clothed with public trust. is not "words,"
but "dseds." The nation waits to see
the issue now made between the two Sec
tions of our common country, manfully
seized and dealt with by men who shall
have strong Northern and strong South
ern principles. For these are the men
who must, sooner or later, rule public
sentiment in either section. and if these
men cannot agree on mutual justice, mu-
tual forbearance and the subordination of
their several feelings and purposes to the
common good. the ''srmed neutrals" can
do little for us.-N. Y Times.

PRESIDENTIAL MovEMENT.-The Wash
ington correspondent of New York pa
per says that The friends Of General
Pierce are Aocking to this city in great
numbers, pipe-laying for the Char eston
nomination. Since the defeat OF Mr..
Breckenridge in Kentucky, the Admins
tration men think of concentrating their
efforts on Mr.. Pierce, as the best means
of perpetuating the present system and
patronage. Mr. Pierce would be strong
in the South, but for the conviction that
he could not be elected If nominated.
Jefferson Davis favors the scheme, and
has hopes, by counting the President, thst
Mr.. Buchanan may be induced to work
for Mr.. Pierce. The President would
engage in this, IL assured that his frieads
could be retained in Office under Pierce,
and already he has begun to make advan-
ces, BY Responding several of Pierce's
friends previously removed. Mr.. John
II. George, Of New Hampshire. is said to
be organizing q guerrilla force to capture
the nomination"

ALL UMrED.-By telegraph, We learn
that the Democracy is again zone and
undivided" on the subject of the Terrific
ries, and slavery therein.
Senator Davis, of Miss, has carried
the day. The right is affimred-the prin-
ciple established. Further than that, it
is declared, if the Courts and the Legis-
lature of any Territory shall repudiate
the right Of a stakeholder to carry his
property into it, or when either shall re-
fuse to protect such property, as deman-
ded or directed by the bred Scott dicta.
that then Congress shall affirm, by posi-
tive law, the right, and enforce it.
IT'S well. An issue Of this nature
has to be met. and will be met. The
,chits men Of the country will not submit
to it; they cannot do so, unless they
mean to sacrifice, interest, self-respect,
liberty. Douglas sought to evade. and
now seeks to avoid this issue; hut in
vain. He saw, and he sees. the fearful
consequences which must follow the al =
mission Of the principle declared by the
slave Democracy-bnt the very party
machinery perfected by him, overwhelms
him. And he submits !
