THE COURIER ATTACKS GEN.
JACKSON.

We have known that the Democrats, OF
rather those represented by Thayer, Dean
& Co., had forsaken the old landmarks o.
the party, as marked out by Jackson, that
they have been giving aid and comfort to the
worst enemies Of Gen. jackson, the Cal
houn nullifiers and disunionists Of the South
but We still thought that they professed
friendship and admiration of Gen. jackson
himself. But the Courier of late has been
treating its readers to violent partizan at,
tack upon the old hero of New Orleans, made
by prominent Whig or rather national Re-
publican New England Senator during his
Presidency. Not long since it published
such an attack, made by a Puritan Whig
Congressman upon the Democratic admins
tration of James K. Polk. The Judge can
not forget his early Whig education.
'What is bred in the bone," &c. We will
wager fresh egg that the Judges father
was Hartford Convention Federalist, and
the virs is now working out Of the editor.
Is it not strange that the Democratic Club is
presided over by Know Nothing and life
long denouncer of Gen. Jackson and the
Democratic party, and that the Democratic
organ in this city has repeatedly exhumed
the old Federal and Whig attacks upon Gen.
Jackson, President Polk and other prominent
Democrats to fill its columns? Or is the
President of the Club responsible for those
old attacks upon the Democratic party?

QUERy.-It has been suggested to us that
the recent arbitrary military arrests made by
Gen. Grant in front of Vicksburg, are unau-
thorlzed by the Constitution, and are subver-
sive of the dearest rights of the American
citizen. Nothing more was needed to con-
vince this people that we are upon the verge
Of military despotism, and thar, unless they
assert their rights, reign of terror will be
inaugurated worse than that which existed
in the French Revolution. r -
Would it not be well for Governor Seymour
to address Gen. Grant on the subject, and
entreat him to ''pause" in his high-handed
career? 1t may be that the ordinances of
Vloksburg do not permit the firing of guns
within that corporation. Tney certainly do
not permit the arrest of citizens without civil
process unless they be notheroerS or Mig

purposes. said the Republican party was re-
spon ible for these troubles speech often

he boldly said the South wantonly and with
out any excuse commenced the war. and
that in such contest there could be but two
parties, Patriots and Traitors.
In a like spirit and for like purposes, Dan
iel Webster, in speech recently published
in the Courier, violently attacked Gen.
Jackson but when he found that South Caro-
lima meant notification he and Clay dropped
all partizan feeling and nobly and cordially
supported Gen. jackson in all his efforts to
"coerce' South Carolina.
The Courier shows plainly in its extracts
from these speeches and in its whole course,
that it never for moment sinks the parti-
can in the Patriot!

-ade of Gen. Carr's division, embracing the
21st, 22d, and 23d Iowa Infantry, and 1st

the advance and entered into the fight before
daylight and remained: in the hottest of the
fire until the enemy fled from the field in
the evening. The officers and men received
on the field the commendation of Gems. Carr

The WEATHER AGA1N.-On Sunday and
Monday we were visited by the most drench-
ing and persistent rain storm Of the season.
We notice that the c~ulvert between the Engine
House and Court House on Market Street, has
been pretty much washed away. This will
need speedy repair as one half of the city trav-
ell is over this street. The ground is now very
thoroughly soaked, and will bear dry weather
without injury for a long time. The weather
has been most favorable thus far, for a bour-
tiful fruit crop. Every tree we see, capable
of bearing fruit, is loaded with buds, and we
exult in saying our peach trees are beginning
to blossom already, From all parts of the
county we hear the same cheering reports
An exception must be made in the case of
Strawberries. 1t has been a remarkably mild
winter, but yet the Strawberries are many
of them killed. This is no doubt owing to the
almost entire absence Of snow.
