jackson on Spc,cu.atoys

Just before President jackson retired
from the Presidency, he sold Hon. James
Guthrie OF his characteristic method of
dealing with men who undertook to deal
improperly with the exigcncies of their
country, Contractors followed General
Jacksons army far into the Indian coun-
try, and when the army began to suffer
for provisions, some of these dealers be-
gan to ask fabulous prices for their pro-
visions. Jackson was at length iuform-
cd of their eXtortionate demands, and he
summoned them before him and attempt
ed an appeal to their patriotism. He
found that soil perfectly sterile. At
length he ordered q body Of officers
to appraise the goods, and allow the
owners Il liberal profit, and then he
showed these owners the appraisement.
He offered to take their proessss ssii3ns at this
appraisement. 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
AS soon as the owners saw their pro-
visions disappearing they waited upon
General Jackson and agreed to accent
his terms. Everything 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 ordered file of soldiers to be de-
tailed. two of them with axes, to place
the unpatriotic owners on the flatboats
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, and at
the last moment they consented to take
the treasury notes. He paused at this
part OF the statement until Mr. Guthrie
asked him what he intended to do in
case ofa persistent refusal, The old pat
riot replied that he "would have ordered
the two soldiers armed with axes to cut
the cables, and the fellows on board
might have floated to hell or Texas, he
would not have cared which" He said,
Ga man who could not trust his country
when engaged in war was not fit to
live" We heartily say amen to Old
tlickory's patriotic sentiment. We re-
gret that he is not here now, to pack un-
patriotic currency gamblers on flatboats
and float them of to unknown Shores

CoPPERHEAp VERSION OF THE RAID
This Is what the copperhead Baltimore
correspondent of the New York World
says of the rebel raid, in which appar
emily the "wish is father to the thought"
'The plan of Lee is simply this, to
move to lIarper's Ferry, with The main
body of his army through the Shenan-
doah valley, while Gen. Beauregard de-
fends Richmond with his corps of 80 900
troops and the local militia. Gen. Beau

CONNECTICUT DEMOCRACY. cY.-Something
exceedingly rare of late, has occurred in
Connecticut. a democratic meeting has
been held there which had the audacity
TO adopt some resolutions. The rarity
is not in the sentiments embodied in the
resolutions, but in the fact that the
meeting ventured, before. the Chicago
convention was held, to adopt resolu-
tions expressing, any sentiments. 1t is
breach 'epoS Democratic discipline,
which no other recent convention has
been guilty of; for how, in the present
condition Of the democracy, can any
member or collection of members of the
party be supposed to know his or their
principles, or whether he or they are to
have any, until the matter has been set
tied b, the course of the campaign and
the action Of tnS,o Chicago convention ?
What the democracy are waiting lor
has not yet turned up," ana they can
not decide positively whether they are
for peace or olive-branch war; hence
any formal claim to principles is dan
gerously premature; and the recent
democratic" conventions have, with
this exception, been discreetly dumb,
The meeting, however, was a small
affair." and didn't know any better. 1t
was only meeting Of the democrats"
of Sharon, in the nutmeg state, and this
is the way in which it resolved:
"The only hope of the Republic in
future depends upon the election by the
Democratic party of Chief Magistrate
possessing the patriotism, the honesty,
and the courage TO stop the horrors Of q
brutal and bloody war, and to have no
guide but the Constitution as interpreted
by thcvirginia and Kentucky resolutions
drawn by Jefferson and Madison, and rs
further expounded by the Supreme Court
in the Dred Scott decision.
They not only adopted their platform
but went further and put their man on
it. who is just the man for the platform
Tom Seymour is the individual who
possesses the patriotism, the honesty
and the courage" to stop the war ant
let the rebels split up the Union as they
see flt. We hope the Chicago conven
tion will see It in the same light anC

PROCLAMATION FOR DAY oP HuMILEA-
