rrnHrH OLE JANUARY.

The sth of January has lost most OF
its interest. 1t came yesterday and
went as any other day. Jackson and
the defense of New Orleans are not
forgotten, but are taking their places
among the shadows that form the twi-
light of memory. The defeat of the
British by jackson was an event oil
tremendous importance at the time
Our fathers were engaged in what they
termed second war of independence.
The mother country, though she had
long abandoned all hope of ehectlng
the un;fcation of her ancient territories
by the subjugation Of the United States
still nursed antipathies born of the revo-
luton, and gladly embraced favorable
opportunity to punish tne people who
had dismembered her empire. AS a
political event, the victory of New Or
leans was of the greatest Importance
1t was not a great battle, but it accom-
plished a great end 1t rescued large
norton of the South from hostile inVa-
sion and a possible loss of territory
At all events, the eighth day of January
saw the British army defeated and Jack
son the most famous man in the country
The victory carried him up to the Presl-
deney. It's significance finds its best
illustration in the circumstance that the
day on which it was won, has been, until
the last ten years, observed in various
forms by the people of all sections OF
the country. If it had not become a
holiday, it was something akin to one.
The night of the eighth has been gener-
allv devoted to music and dancing. By
the young, without, perhaps, either un-
Outstanding or caring for the event, II
was kept green in memory Bright
ewes" and I" fair women aud brave
men and all that sort of Byronic sen
timent found repetition in every village
and town. "a thousand hearts beat,
and probably with happiness, as NUKE
though hardly resembling that at brus-
sells, rose with, or without any percsptl-
BILE swell of voluptuousness. But time
while it may dim the luster OF great
event may not quite abolish what has
become a custom. We presume that
for years to come, people will dance and
feast and be merry when the day comes
without any particular thought as to why
they do so. But in the great amphlthe
alter of politics, into whose circle thu
rings. the cliques and the Copard-hk'
propeny of modern isms is drawn, thu
proclamation of Lincoln, affecting u
emancipate four million slaves and tt
destroy billions of property, is OF more
consequence. Jackson preserved the
Union. The Union was composed oil
States with slavery and States without
slavery. New Orleans has sueeumbeo
to Gettysburg, and Independence Hal
NAV suecumb to Appomatox Cour'
House. The sth of January may be ig
nored and the 4th of July abolished.
