ihe services he rendered ilis country lidve more
Ihsnamply atoned for them. Ilis errors,if hd
Iml snv, were of the head, not of the heart;
■ud wo tru.it confidingly* that the dews of rn’-r-
ry hire,, re this, washed them out forever.—
If he ii«d his faults, bo had his vi.tuesloo—
virtues which weie his own, original, and not
flint tojiids from another. Virtues which from
their puro grandeur and truthfulness, raised
bin far nboVfe the men around him. He stood
like tlit wliidry eagle, on some mountain peak,
forgetting party feuds nnd ibCnl strifes with
their friends and brothers at home, and are
prepared to rally around the stars and stripes
of our own star spangled bnnribr. But the
Southern Courant, patriotic as he is, has no
such generous promptings; the cross of St.
George and the rampant lion are tiie objects of
his care, it seems. He is not .satisfied with
his own zeal, but wishes to arouse the same
feeling in hi* parly friend*. But we trtist they
have enough American patriotism to. turn a
deaf car to his entreaties. Ho invokes the
great name of Mr. Clay, to operate on their
loyalty to party. Listen to him.
*' Hut die sentiment of Mr. Clay, is quoted by some of
the Whig*. amt they say the time for action according to
the same, iias come. The following is that sentiment, and

How strict u constructionist tho editor ap
pear* to be getting.
Onn more extract, and we shall close Vho
evidence of the “Southern' Courant" against
itself, and think few disinterested persons,
wliigs or democrats, will Como to any other
conclusion, than that the Courant has pro«en
our assertion, so far as it regards its editor at
least. How the editor rales his whig friend*,
for weakness, he never feels, in preferring
the honor of their country' to the glory of their
party, And observe iiow careful he would be
to raise the Eagle banner—not until England
has left us nothing to raise it for. He would
lock the door after the steed is stolen. But
hear him:
••Wc ruincidc with the xemirr.ent of Mr. Clay, heartily,
from our soul, and warn Orest Britain dors undertake to
colonize oi subjugate Texas, we will sny, then hoist your
Eagle banner, and strike for self-preservation and Jlc-
puoliraii principles. . But that time ha* tint come; there
is no evidence of it, even in the heated imaginations of the
friends of Texa*, the enemies of England, or the zealous
defenders of our rights ai.d honor, ’.v’e are surprised at
the course which is recommended by a portion of the whig
press. So far as that recommendation goestoour Gntcru-
inent to be prepared and- ready for the -worst, we say
amen. We say ao the more readily, because we find te-
spcctable whig journa's aliasing nit Government to protest
tu the British Government against.these late proceedings,
and to demand satisfaction for wrongs c»iuiiiit‘ed against
us. Besides being rendered ridiculous in the eyes of the
world by such a proceeding, we would be answered by n
declaration of a conformity to their just rights, unde- tho
j laws of nations. What vrt.-ttld we then do? Hero would
I be a new difficulty o.t hand growing out of our own fully
| and well calculated to hasten hostilities."
Asa Iasi hope, tho editor endeavor* to in
been bung half-staff high, and this evening the
AssOciniion, and the Young Hickory Club, will
meet for the purpose of making arrangements
for paying honors to the memory of the illustri
ous dead.
We understand that the French Minister
di.tp'ayed to-day the French fl*g half-staff high,

loti" as devoted patriotism, intrepid bravery,
nice honor, keen sagacity, civil and social vir
tues, are qualities to attract regard among
mankind/ or command national grajitude or

these qualities were eminently united. Since
the days of the Revolution tho history of few
pubhc men iu this country has exhibited a
more salutary example of patriotism, or one
bolter calculated to kindle, from age to age,
a sacred love of freedom, than Andrew
Jackson. His career is now closed upon the
earth forever, and wc feel his loss as a great
national bereavement.
Resolved, That the memoryof Andrew Jack-

a deep sense of the eminent worth and servi
ces of tha' distinguished man is cherished by

It affords ns sincere pleasure to be able to re
move the misapprehension into wlrch “Rut
land’’ and perhaps others have foilen in regard
to liie acti m of the committee called together to
nominate a candidate for Senate. No spirit ol
dictation—no disposition to exceed the powers
delegated; was'iiMii'fi-sted by the committee-
on the contrary its acinn as to the particular
movement animadverted on was merely adtfisat-
ry and surely among brethren actuated by a
common impulse and having the same end in
view, no sufficient cause of offence we appre
hend is given for only throwing among their fel-
foW-d’.isfens of .the democratic party a sugges
tion which may be adopted or rejected as a ma
jority in the several d stricts shall choose to de
termine. The convention went no farther tlran
to recommertd that the several districts, elect or
choose in sucti way as they please, delegates to’
attend a county convention to be held iu Macon
oft the fost Tuesday in August, to select candi
dates for the Legislature and for County Offi
cer*. The Committee did not choose tiie dele
gates, nor was there any movement of this cha
racter rtfade by the committee or any member
thereof. This brief explanation it is hoped
will be altogether satisfactory to “Rutland,” as
well as aHV others who may have been m sh’d on
this subject. HOWARD.
