What Andrew Jackson Said.

Some time ago we said that Gen. Jack
son declared, speaking ofthe revolt in South
Carolina in 1882, that the tariff WAS only .
pretext,' that ''disunioa and Southern
Confedsracy were the real Objects" ant
that the next pletext would be slavery. .
We are informed by Uuion Democrat tha
some Copperhead has denied this.
The following extract from the recent
speech Of Gov. Andrew johnson, of Ten.
nessee, at indianapolis, will settle the ques-
ton:
The historical fact, however, is that there
was among the followers Of Calhoun pre-
meditated scheme to break up this Govern.
ment. The Montgomery Advertiser, q
leading Southern paper, declared that there
has been no precipitate revolution. With
the coolness ofdeliberation the subject had
been thought Of for forty years. lie verifi
ed this by reading the original manuscript
copy ofa letter of Andrew jackson, in
which that old here says of the Calhoun
conspiracy, that the tariff was only the pre-
text, and disunion and Southern Confed
eracy were the real objects, and then makes
that wonderful prediction that the next
pretext will be the negro and the Slavery
question.
The sight Of that letter in the rigid hand
writing Of Old Hickory, moved many Of the
old jackson Democrats to tears.

What Democrats in the Army thinks

His EScelemcy, PRESIDENT r,iR UsrrEp STATES;
We can celebrate the birthday of the
great Father Of this Repu bio in no more
appropriate manner than by addressing to
you, Sir, renewed expression of the senti,
ments which animated us when we took
arms for the defense Of the integrity of the
Union, and which, since that day, has never
ceased to animate us.
We have learned with the deepest con.
Germ that efforts are made In the loyal States
to demorallxe the conscences OF the people
by false representations, to undermine the
sympathies of the masses with the great
cause which is the subject Of this conflict,
to embarrass the Government in the prose.
cution of the war, and thus to deliver the
Republic into the hands Of her enemies. =
We cannot find language strong enough to
express our abhorrence Of the factious men
who carry on these reasonable machina-
tions.
/ They have taken advantage of certain
measures the Government adopted for the
purpose of putting down the Rebellion, and,
as just in themselves, we hail the measures
as evidences of that energy and determine
tion which alone can lead US to victory We
are US ready as ever to fight, suffer and die
tor the sacred cause Of the Union, which Is
the cause of human liberty and progress,
and more ready than ever to punish traitors
at home just as well as the Rebels in arms.
We hope to see day of reckoning be
tween those who went into the field willing
to sacrifice their all for their country, and
those miserable hypocrites who at the com
menccment of the war cringed before the
majestic uprising of popular enthusiasm
and now avail themselves of an hour ot
misfortune and danger to defeat our efforts
to barter away the great future Of thi,
Union, and to trife with the blood Of tht
people.
On us, Sir, you can rely. By the memory
of the illustrious patriot whose birthday we
celebrate, by the blood of the many BRAY,
men whom we saw dropping from our rank
on the field of battle, we renew to-day the
oath we once have taken, and will figh
against the enemies of the country, Nortl
and South, to the bitter end. Whatsoeve
hardships and privations the war may brin;
upon us we will endure, we will think of n,
peace but the peace which will spring iron

What one Good Woman can do.

HENDRYsBUa, o., Feb. 9th, 1868.
DEAR CHRoNIcLE Having been engag
ed for some time past in collecting Sanitary
Supplies for the sick of ~ I26th Regiment
o. v. L., as per Request bf Surgeon Major
Estep published in ttM CHRONICLE some
weeks since, I hope you will permit me to
return my thinks to the many benevolent
and patriotic donors to that noble cause
through the columns of your paper.
l succeeded admirably in getting quite a
large quantity of such things as the sick
soldiers badly stood in need and here let
me say, that could you have been there
when those home comforts reached their
hospital and saw, as did, the emotions of
gratitude upon their pale faces, you wouli
have felt doubly rewarded for the effort you
had made to relieve their suiferings Yet
must confess that the Surgeon and officers
of this Regiment have made every preyi
sion in their power for the comforts of the
afflicted, and that found them much be,-
ter cared for than had anticipated. An
other source of qualification is that the sick
ness of this regiment is abating. Out OF
two hundred and fifty now sick, perhaps
about two hundred are convalescent, an d
will soon be fit for duty. But after all the
comforts which can be furnished at hos.
pital for the sick, they lack that domestic
comfort of home No kind mother, no
loving wife, no affectionato sisters kind
hand to smooth down their pillow and cheer
them by those loving words which do more
for their recovery than any medicine they
can take. Aud although their health is
improving, deaths are of frequent occur
renee. Yet come home highly gratified
and pleased with the care and attention
which are bestowed upon them by both OF
ficers and privates. Aud while they are
enduring the tolls, hardships and privations
of camp to crush out this wicked and un.
provoked rebellion, feel it becomes us,
enjoying the comforts OF home, TO not only
extend our heartfelt sympathy, but make
from time to time such donations and send
them as viii add to their comforts and make
them feel that our hearts, too, are in the
glorious cause Of saving our country. Make
them feel that the women are deeply in
terested in the same just cause for which
they are sacrificing their lives and the en-
dearments Of home. As for me, am not
only friend to the soldier, but afriend TO
our free institutions for which he is fighting
to perpctuate. My prayer to God is that
our arms may be triumphant, despite those
petty, croaking traitors at home, aud that
soon our hearts may be gladdened by
welcoming back our husbands, brothers and
sons who have SO nobly enlisted to battle
for our country and our homes to all tho
affections and endearments OF which they
have been 80 long deprived and that the
broad mantle Of peace may once more over
shadow our loved country, and We be per
mitted TO securely repose the remainder OF
our lives beneath its ample folds ~

Tho Rejected Lovers.
from the N. Y. Post.


1t was thoughts very severe saying in the
Evening Post when it told the peace Demo.
Gratis some weeks ago that the rebels would
spit upon them and kick them into the
Kennel, but the truth of it has been proved
by experience. The paragraph we quoted
yesterday from the Richmond Enquirer,
which said the rebels would listen to the
supplicants for peace, but "hold their noses
all the while" was only one sample of the
universal disgust and contempt expressed
for the Northern sycophants.
We mght add dozen other instances il
We had space, but must content ourselves
with merely two. Speaking Of Sunset
the Enquirer observes that Hon. Mr. Cox,
Democrat from Ohio, is wooing South
Carolina, who appears to be an old flame
as the music of Cox might "melt tn: heart
of palmetto log'-but the frail creature
is coy. ..s ~. .,. Tt t,.
But after poking its sly fun at poor Cox
in this way, the rebel editor proseeds to call
him thief 1t says:
The seductive song of the impassioned
cratic ticket for next Congress, and you
@tuu Wtcc put W Mc otcNWtJs' ftutc VIC
not always, oh, child Of the sun! lived and
loved and stolen together? How often have
our hands met in the pockets of the same
innocent public and fondly pressed one an
other? Without our dear South the Demo.
Gratis can plinder no more. Without thee
that once unterrifed party pines in isolation
and despair, it is one blade of pair Of
scissors; It is tho half ofa hook and eyel-
So sings the swain of Ohio! Win Caroline
hearken to the gay seducer?'
The same copy Of the Enquirer abuses
Mr., John Van Buren, whom it styles this
Yankee, who has been regarded as one OF
tho peace party at tho Mort" thus classi
flying Mr.. Van Buren among the rabid
Yankees" When the rebels shall hear
Of Mr.. Van Buren's latest someSaults, they
will even call him, We fear, an abolitionist
Valandigham their principal Northern tool,
has already denounced the World by that
name.
