Jackson on Gold Gamblers.

Just before President Jackson retired
from the Presidency, he told the Hon.
James Guthrie of his characteristic
method of dealing with men who un-
dertook to deal improperly with the ex-
igencies of their country. Contractors
followed Gen. Jackson's army far into
the Indian country, and when the army
began to suffer for provisions, some of
these dealers bdgan to ask fabulous
prices for their provisions. Jackson
was at length informed Of their extor-
tionate demands, and summoning them
before him, he attempted to appeal to
their patriotism. He found that soil
perfectly sterile. At tlength he ordered
a body of officers to appraise the goods
and allow the owners liberal profit,
and he then showed the owners the APP
praisement. They refused to sell, and
Jackson determined that his soldiers
should not starve, ordered the rations
to be distributed and faithful account
to be kept. -@e
As soon as the owners saw their pro-
visions disappearing, they waited upon
Gen. Jackson and accepted his terms.
Everything went on well until he offer
ed in payment United Staues Treasury
notes. They refused to take them and
demanded gold. jackson reasoned
with them until he found they were in
exorable in their demand, he then or
dered file of soldiers to be detailed,
two of them with axes, to place the
unpatriotic owners on the flatboats on
which their goods had been stored
Gen. Jackson said that after he had
placed them OH the boats, he made what
he told them was his last appeal, and at
the last moment they, to take
the Treasury notes. He paused at
this part of the statement until Mr.. Gu
thrie asked him what he intended to do
il case of persistent refusal. The old
patriot replied that he ''would have or
dered the two soldiers armed with axes
to cut the cables, and the fellows on
board might have fioated to he'll or Tex
as, he would not have cared which. p
He said "a man who would not trust his
country when engaged in war, was not
fit to i've" We heartily say amen TO
Old IIickory's patriotic sentiment. We
regret that he is not here now, to pack
unpatriotc currency gamblers on flat
boats and float them off to unknown
shores Louisville Press.

The maid who binds her warriors aash
With smile that well her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her drooping lash
One starry tear drop hangs and trembles.
Though Heaven alone records the tear.
And fame shall never know her story.
Her heart shall shed a drop as dear
As ever dewed the field Of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones whoweep or wonder,
And gravely speaks the cheering word.
What though her hepit be rent asunder-
Doomed nightly in ler dreams to hear
The bolts Of war around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon q field Of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief,
When to her breast her son she presses.
Then breathes few brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God ktt
oknow the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field Of honor.

"The history of the world shows no
parallel to hereckless extravaganza that
exists among our people. Bqsterity
will he at "a loss to account for the pc
culiar madness which we exhibit during
an epoch which should be one Of re,

If we throw off our garb Of humanity
like domino at festival, that the gor-
geous robes beneath may seem moro
dazzling ann resplendent.

DEAR SIR-Your invitation to the

the candidates Of the Union and free
dom in 4S4s, 1852, 1856 and 1860: !
shall not fail to come up in time ifwant-
ed 1864. But it is not now certain that
shall be wanted ut all, and am sure
that | am not wanted vet. Sofar as an
expression ofmy concurrence in the
nomination and platform is concerned,
everybody knows that substantially /
was committed in detail to all that the
Convention hes now done long before a
delegate was chosen, and even long be-
fore the Convention itself was called.--
The secret of the success and the Con-
vention is that the AMERICAN people are
wise, true and liberty loving and hui
name nation, and being such, it could
under the existing circumstances, do
nothing more or less than iast what the
Convention has now spoken in its
nam and its recommended shall be
done.
For the present let the people send
men and supplies to the national arm
les in the field, and thus enable them
"to fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer" Loud Cherrs.) The cleo
ton of Lincoln and Johnson ut the
close Of the successful campaign will
then speak the peoples decision that
slavery has perished, and that the
American Union is invincible. APP
