ANDREW JACKSON AND JOIN c. CALHOUN
Being at that time member of Congress, and
having occasion to call upon the President on
some business of a constituent, | found him in
bis reception room, in the presence of some
fifteen or twenty persons casually assembled
there, most OF whom he had probably never
seen before to whom he was discussing warmly
on the great topics of the day. Mr.. Calhoun
said be- talks of reserved constitutional
right of nullihcation as if any constitution
could provide for its own destruction. He has
got few county court lawyers to back him !;
but" the President said, placing his hand on
large file of letters, I've got the people of the
United States. If be means the law of nature
that's another thing. But what is the law of
nature? Its Andrew jackson with his musket

a bridge, over which the nullifiers were able to
make not wholly ignominious retreat. Look
ing back on these transactions under the light
of experience there is good reason for the
opinion that it would have been better for the
couutry, infinitely better for the South if his
reasonable conspiracy had been allowed TO run
its natural course and meet its just fate. If the
serpent of nulliication had been strangled in
South Carolina in 1882, by the hero of New
Orleans. secession would not under her lead, in

The FROZEN HoRs.-Baron Munchausen
relates, in one of bis marvellous tales, that it
was SO cold one day in Russia when he began
to play tune on bis trumpet, that half of it
froze 10 the instrument before it could get out
and in few months afterwards while in Italy
he was startled to hear, of sudden, the rest
Of the tune come pealing forth. When Lincoln
was elected President, the rebels footed an air
on the Southern horn that Lincoln would surely
abolish slavery 10 all the States. This air fell
frozen on Northern ears at the time. But the
heat of three years battles has warmed up the
Southern horn or the Northern atmosphere
and the truth which the rebels originally pro
claimed is DOW being felt throughout the
Territorial Enterprise.

On a pair of wooden socks was written

On box of beautiful lint was this mark

SOUTHERN CHIvALRY-Parson Brownlow, a
Southern man born and bred don't admit the
superiority of the Southern chivary, claimed
by the Richmond papers. Here is his style
of showing up "our Southern aristOcrats"
Who are they as general thing, and whence
did they come? Twenty years ago this one
made candles, one was tanner of raw-hides,
one sold butter, eggs and chickens, one butch
cred, another worked in a blacksmith shop,
another carried on dstillery, and another was
the white servant of some man of property.
They were then, with their families, elbowed
out of the first circles Of society" as they now
pretend to elbow out others. They are peo-
pie n the South acquainted with both ends OF
society-as their children are made to be by
this rebellion-though it will not do to say so
out loud Often now you find the female class
of these toiliug but ambitious worms, boasting
that all the resPecadilug of the country have
embarked upon the same rebel sea they are on,
They even now turn up their noses in derision
at those who have more character, more money,
more credit, and more to live on than they have
with seven fold the stock of patriotism they
can boast.

GRAND CALICO MovENESr-Tbe latest
manifestation of the patriotic sentiment in the
East is the anti-importation movement of loyal
women. A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Washington, under date
of May Sd, says:
The loyal ladies here are earnest in their
anti-importation movement, and already have
some of the wealthiest women of Washington
donned the domestic calico. Gold must SC

Stanton suggests the greenback style Of prints
for these robes of patriotism.
Here is one fashion that the broadcloth sex
can heartily commend. Let it be understood
