lection from n hostile enemy, and tlurinr
the sessions OF Congress, is imrolitic and
offensive, and if permitted may become
destructive of civil liberty, and in the
opinion of this House the regular troops
now in it ought to be forthwith removed
therefrom."
This resolution was rejected, by ayes
80, nays I25.
r SO 1t is fair to presume that the Repub,
licans are determined to keep up a stands

to enforce the Chicago platform and the
doctrine Of the " extinction of slavery" by
means of the sword Pcnngylvanian
THE HISTORY OF wIpE-AwAKE.
A few weeks ago, we published an an.
ecdote of young man in New Haven
VINO was thrown out of employment in
consequence Of the hard times and who
manifested great anxiety to get into some
sort Of business. He asked employment
Of gentleman Of that city, who inquired
if had no! 3een Wide Awake. The
answer was, yea. The next question was,
if he still had his Uniform? This was aiS
SO answered afirmatively. The gentle,
man then offered him dollar day 80
long as he would wear the uniform. He
accepted the offer and has made il his
business ever since to appear in his Wide
Awake habiliments. The Wide Awake
fraternity demonstrated with him aboutit,
and he thus justified himself:
81 carried this thing around, day after
day, during the campaign, and made no.
thing, but lost considerable by it. If it
vas honorable then, it is equally so now;
and it is giving me the means by which
| can pay my board and washing. You
attend to your business, and l will to
mine; but if you don't like my style, fur
nish me better employment, and l will
lay down my torch and throw away my
rig"
We doubt not there are hundreds OF
young mechanics in this town who during
the heat of the late campaign, wasted
time and money with the Wide Awakes,
who would now jump at the opportunity
of earning dollar day by parading
through the principal streets in their
uniforms. .-Net0 Haven Ne,cs.
ANDREW JACKSON.
Some people who once abused Andrew
Jackson without stint now say they wish
he was President, that he might crush
out secession, hang nullifiers, burn Char.
lesion, &c, &C. They forget that South
Carolina rebellion in 1860 is very differ
ent from that of 1882. Tben large por.
tion of the most prominent citizens OF
South Carolina were openly adverse to
resistance, now they are united to a man.
Then the surrounding States Withdrew
countenance from South Carolina, now
they yield her warm sympathy and sup
port. 1t is an easy matter to dictate or
censure when clear Of responsibility. If
General Jack son was in the Presidential
chair, we doubt not the Lncolnite Aboli,
tionists would hear from him, and wish
him dead. We honor the memory OF
jackson he gallantly brayed the storm Of
vituperation TO uphold Democracy, and
saved the country when the anti-demo>
cratic idol was the flowing locks Of Biddle,
seated on golden pedestal of thirty,ive
and which has now been trans,
formed into a wolly headed negro, astride
a rail, holding in one hand "Helper's Inn
pending Crisis" and in the other a like
ness OF dear cd John Brown" Jackson
was too pure patriot to worship at Ell
ther of those Shrnes He was Demo-
crat = Mt. Holly Mirror.
TOO GOOD TO be LOST.
Governor Andrews, OF Massachusetts, is
n hot water about his military order in.
tended to menace the South. Amane
II ANY letters Of remonstrance from pa.ri.
otic military men in the State, is one from
Captain Charles II, Manning, Of the Salon
Artillery. He says; "They, the Salem
Light Artillery, are now filed with aston.
shment at The alacrity with which Massa.
'husetts offers her services in the work Of
var agains. Eer brethren. That she, who
wept on by political rancor, proposed 10
hut up her arsenals and her store,houses.
md bury every military ensign in the dusty
ecluson Of deserted armories, while
foreign foe was sweeping our seas, de-
itroying our towns, and devastating our
ields; that she should now rush TO arms
against those of her fellow=citizens who.
lsk for q position equal with her own
inder the Confederation,is is as strange and
as that national madness W hich
rents itself in the horrors Of civil strife.
That she who denounced and defed the
Union while IL was in the hands of her
political opponents, should now be eager
o fight for its preservation is somewhat
igniicant."
