opinion of this House the regrlar troops
now in it ought to be forthwith removed
therefrom."
This resolution was rejected, by AYES

So 1t is fair TO presume that the Repub.
licans are determined to keep up a stands

to enforce the Chicago platform and tho
doctrine Of the extinction of slavery" by

THE HISTORY OF A wIpE-AwAKE,
A few weeks ago, we published an an.
ecdote of young man in New Haven
who was thrown out of employment il
consequence Of the hard times and who
manifested great anxiety to get into some
sort Of busiaess, He asked employment
Of gentleman Of that city, who inquired
it he had no. 3een Wide Awake. The
answer was, yea. The next question vas,
if he still had his Uniform? This was ai-
SO enswered afhrmatively, 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 about it,
and he thus justified himself:
"a 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 50 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 employ 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 .--Neto Haven News,
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 nulliiers, burn Char
lesion, &C., &C. They forget that South
Carolina rebellion in 1860 is very differ
ent from that of 1892. Tben large por-
tion of the most prominent citizens OF
South Carolina were openly adverse to
resistance, now they are united to 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 Lincolnite Aboli,
tionists would hear from him, and wish
| him dead. We honor the memory OF
Jackson he gallantly braved the storm Of
vituperation TO uphold Democracy, and
saved the country when the anti-demo>
cratic idol was the flowing locks Of Bddle,
seated on golden pedestal of thirty-fve
millions, 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 like
ness Of dear cd John Brown" Jackson
was too pure patriot TO worship at Ell
tner of those Shrines. He was Demo-
crat = NJ. Holly Mirror.
TOO GOOD TO DE LOST.
Governor Andrews, OF Massachusetts, is
in hot water about his military order in.
tended to menace the South. Among
many letters Of remonsirance from pa'ri.
otic military men in the State, is one from
Captain Charles II. Manning, Of the Salem
Artillery. He says: "They, the Salem
Light Artillery, are now filed with aston.
ishment at the alacrity with which Masss.
chusetts offers her services in the work Of
war against ker brethren. That she, who
swept on by political rancor, proposed to
shut up her arsensls and her store-houses,
and bury every military ensign in the dusty
seclusion Of deserted armories, while
foreign foe was sweeping our seas, de-
stroying our towns, and devastating our
fields; that she should now rush TO arms
, against those Of her felIow=citizens who.
ask for position equal with her own
under the Confederaton,is is as strange ana
unnatural as that national madness which
vents itself in the horrors Of civil strife,
That she who denounced and deied the
Union while it was in the hands OF her
political opponents, should now be eager
20 fight for its preservation, is somewhat
significant"
