His Excellency long before the petition
from the respective States were poured il
for bis release, and these with the action o
the Mississippi, Alabama and South Caro-
lina Conventions, looking to the same end
have more than confirmed the President il
his belief that the trial or further disgrace
of the rebel leader is not demanded ethel
for the country's good or the vindication o.
its honor.
Striking and Significant Condolences
Parallels between distinguished men are
frequently made, but it is rare that they are
very close. Special incidents may coincide,
but the whole career seldom. Hence
when such case is found, it 10 matter Of
interest, not to the curious aloner but also
to the rejecting and thoughtful.
In an article published several days ago,
we alluded casually to close parallel be-
tween the careers of Andrew jackson and
our present Chief Magistrate, Andrew
johnson. Not pursuing the parallel to any
extent, but mentioning the fact which was
so patent as to excite remark, we were much
grati6ed in finding the parallel drawn fully
in recent speech of Mr., H. r. Helper,
the American Consul at Buehos Ayres -
The similarity of the careers of these dis,
tiuguished men will appear, upon examiu,
alton, to be wonderfully close, and reason
ing of the future. from the past, we hazard
the prediction, that the name of Andrew
johnson will be regarded by the people
With the same affection and reverence they
have borne, and will always bear, for the
name of Andrew jackson. The coinci.
deuce is not the work Of chance merely,
but is the result of similar circumstances
acting upon similar characters, influenced
by attachments to the same truths, and in:
spired by the same incorruptible virtues
It was the mission Of jackson to consoli.
date the Democratic elements of the coun.
try, and to demonstrate the fact that the
improvement and happiness of the people
were best attained by adherence to those
grand principles which constituted his sys.
tenn of national politics. It is President
Johrson's mission, we firmly believe, to
perpetuate the demooratical elements Of the
country, and thereby secure to the people
forever, undisturbed, that happiness and
improvement which the spirit of Jscksonian
Democracy contends to be the sole legiti.
mate end of Government. This great
work We believe to be entrusted for perfect
and complete realization to the, hands Of
Andrew johnson. God speed hini the
issue
We give below the parallel SO happily
drawn by Mr.. Helper. 1t will be at once
perceived that it gould be pursued much
more closely, and in far greater detail ; but
it is sufficient to show that in Andrew john

and willing to work out to its glorious end

ally proved their devotion to the Union in
the late terrible confict-nAmes which, in
great measure, constitute the modern roll
of Southern honor-is that of Andrew
johnson, formerly Of North Carolina, now
President Of the United States, who is,
perhaps, in many particulars more like
Andrew jackson than any other man in
America. They we're both born in North
Carolina, of which State President Polk was
also a native. Both emigrated to Tenoes.
see, and while residing there were elected
to the Presidency The full name Of each
is composed of thirteen letters, the number
being suggestive of the thirteen. original
States, which, more than three.quarters of
a century since, achieved their independ-
ence of Great Britain. Each has (and very
properly, showing that their. parents we're
persons of sense) but one prmnomen, and
that is Andrew. The coguomen Of each is
word of two syllables, and the termina-
ting syllable of each Is son. The prefix of
the one surname is Jack, while that Of the
other is John. Now Jack and John, as is
we'll known, signify one and the same thing.
It follows, therefore, that in Andrew John.
SOD we have man who is neither more nor
less than Andrew Jackson-the same tough
"OId Hickory" the able and incorruptible
statesman, for whom it is said the patriotic
Dutchmen of Pennsylvania have been stead
lily voting at every Presidential election
during the last forty years. But. the para
bic does not end here. Both received sp-
pointments as generals of militia. Before
becoming President, each served hisadopt.

and afterwards as Senator Of the United

in times of great national peril both were

both to deal stripgently, and both did deal
stringently with the disafection and treason
of their slavebolding neighbors. One an
