TRUE, TRUE.-The St. Paul Dispatch,
a Radical paper published by Harlan
p. Hall, Esq, formerly of this place,
concludes an article under the caption
Off Breaking up in Ohio" in the fol-
lowing disloyal language:
"The dictatorial executive, who es-
says to put up or put down Republic
can Senators, according to the impuls-
!, es of his own malignant passions, who
puts Republicans to flight at the point
of. the bayonet, who had the misfor-.
tune to differ with him in opinion, is
leading the Republican party dance
of death. The only safety for the
party is to put aside all hindering caus-
es, and to free itself of political de-
structiye elements. aai. ,5s

nominate him. If they do it, they do

An Incident in the Life of sold Hickory
i Itmay not be generally know among
the readers of the PRESS that, at the
Methodist Conference just held at
Meadyille, Penn, the Church of that
pursuasion in this village was rep
resented by our felIow-citizen An
drew Jackson, Esq, Clerk of the Court
of Common Pleas. Persons at all fa-
.miliar with the political history of the
keystone State, are well aware that
among its older citizens are many true
an earnest adherents of the victor OF
New Orleans, men who for years have
taken their. political faith from the
wise and patriotic deeds and savings
ssof g Old Hickory" So well satisfied
are some of them that no one else can
be worthy of their suffrages, that eve
cry call to the polls brings its quota OF
q ballots for Andrew Jackson. Nor did
: the death of the old General have any
effect upon this desire to endorse their
idol at every popular election, wheth-
