General jackson on speculatora.

dC1CAol udthoVA O4 1pOIuldlUIks
Just before President jackson retired from
the Presidency, he told Hon. james Guthrie
of his characteristic method of dealing with
men who undertook to deal improperly with
the exigencies OF their country. Contractors
followed General Jackson's army far into the
Indian country, and when the army began to
suffer for provisions, some of these dealers be-
gan to ash fabulous prices for their provisions.
Jackson was at length informed OF their ex-
tortionate demands, and he summoned them
before him and attempted an appeal TO their
patriotism.
He found that soil perfectly sterile. At
length he ordered body of officers to ap-
praise the goods, and allow the owners a lib
eral p oiit, and then he showed these owners
the appraisement. He offered to take their
provisions at this appraisement. They refus-
ed to sell, and Jackson, determined that his
soldiers should not starve, ordered the rations
TO be distributed, and faithful account to be
kept.
As soon as the owners saw their provisions
disappearing, they waited upon General jack
son and agreed to accept his terms. Every
thing went on until he offered in payment
United States Treasury notes. They refused
to take them, and demanded gold. Jackson
reasoned with them until he found they were
inexorable in their demand. He then order
GU a Htc Vi eOiut6Is W Dc ucbhllcu, TWO Vi lHtii
with axes, to place the unpatriotic owners on
the fiatboats on which their goods had been
stored, General Jackson said that after he
had placed them on the boats, he made what
he told them was his last appeal, aid at the
last moment they consented to take the treas
ury notes.
He paused at this part OF the statement I'M
til Mr. Guthrie asked him what he intended to
do In case OF persistent refusal. The old
patriot replied that he would have ordered
cables, and the fellows on board might have
foated to hell or Texas, he would not have
cared which He said.' man who wonld
not trust his country when engaged in war
was not fit 10 live.' We heartily say amen Ia
Old Hickory's patriotic sentiment. Weregre
that he is not here now, to pack unpatriotic
currency gamblers on fiat boats and float then
off to unknown Shores Louisville Press.

Pendlelon was nominated for Vice Pres

Mr.. Pendleton, who was present as
one OF the delegates at large from Ohio,
was called to the stand amidst prolonged
cheering, and briefly and modestly re-
turned his thanks. He is not a native

years In the city of Cincinnati, a district

including one TO demand of the Presi-
dent withdrawal of orders prohibiting
the circulation of Democratic newspapers,
and others before noticed, went 10 the
Committee on Resolutions, under pre-

not acted upon, as sufficient time did not

statement that thirty-fve women of the
highest character in his State, had been
dragged from their homes and imprison-

forbidden to publish the fact to the peO-

THE WADE-DAVIS PRONUNCIA.
MENTO.

The letter of Senator Wade and Rep
resentative DAVIS. addressed TO the Pres.
ldent, but aimed at the people, is, in
taste, temper and time most exception
able paper. These persons belong 10 the
respective representative departments Of
the Government. The question abou,
which they differ concerned them official
ly. And yet, in the recess Of Congress
when no practical purpose is involved
Messrs. Wade and Davis hurl a gratuit-
Gus missive at the President, the only
effect of which is to strengthen and en-
courage rebellion and disloyalty. If their
object is to defeat Mr.. Lincoln re-elec.
tion they should have waited until they
knew whether an abler and equally loyal
man could have been chosen IN his place

When this rebellion broke out we fore

parties. Hence from the beginning we
have preferred country to party, and have
resolved that the man who could 90 far

The rebellion and preserving The Union

for President at the next election. But
now that all the nominations have been
made we can see no other course to pur-

Mcclellan believe to be a good man
and, in his principles, true man; but
his election would bring into power

ale peace on any Terms; and whose mem
