DEATH OF GENERAL JACKSON.
Our paper to-day appears in a garb emblematic
of that gloom which the news from the Hermitage
must throw upon the public mind. The Hero and
the Patriot has reached the close of a life full of
years and full of glory, in the serenity of a mind at
peace, and in the full assurance of a Christian’s
hope.
“’There is a tear for all who die, i
A mournei o’er the humblest grave,
But Nations swell his funeral cry,
And triumph weeps abov.e the brave.” i
In the language of Mr. Calhoun, used on one oc
casion in the United States Senate, ‘“this remark
able man had the faculty of impressing his own]
character upon the times in which he lived.” Nog
man, since the days of the Revolution, has filled a!
greater space in our country’s history, and no on< jS
lias since enjoyed so great a share of popular admi-j
ration, or exercised so great a personal sway over i
the popular will.
[From the Nashville Union, June 10.]
DEATH OF GEN. JACKSON.
; General Andrew Jackson died at the Herm tage
at 6 o’clock, P. M., on Sunday, the Bth instant.—
His funeral takes place to-day at 11 o'clock. He
breathed his last quietly, calmly, and with entire!
resignation, amidst the beloved members of his!
family and a few intimate friends who were present.!
Death had no terrors for him—he met him with!
cornjKisure, and with a full confidence that he was®
prepared fora better world. Death could not have!
taken him by surprise at any moment for more than!
a year-,—he has been ready at all times to obey the!
dread summons. When the messenger finally came,!
the old Soldier, Patriot and Christian was looking!
out for his approach. He is gone, but his memory g|
lives, and will continue to live.
Gen. Samuel Houston.— This distinguished sol-S3
dier and statesman, from our sister Republic oifl
Texas, reached Nashville on Sunday evening.—
He was immediately informed of the extremelyfl
dangerous illness of. Gen. Jackson, and without de-g
lay proceeded to the Hermitage. We regret that!
he reaidied there a few minutes after the Oid Hero!
expired. He was there in-time to grasp the handg
of his friend, but it was cold in death. He wa-ra
there in time to aid in closing the eyes of his friend,®
but not to receive the warm welcome of friendship.!
[C/* We, have the pleasure of announcing, already fe
a large, accession to our subscription list, Weg
have intimations, also, of many to come from other!
counties. So far, there is but one discontinuance.®
and that is of a non paying subscriber often years!
standing. This was only anticipating our ownac-H
lion, in that and all similar cases.
EFWe extract- from the Federal Union an!
account of the proceedings of the Conventions
which resulted in the unanimous nominations
of Matthew Hall McAllister.
The spirit and zeal in the good old causeS
of Democracy, indicated by the very large at-g
tei dance, embracing so many of our able and!
influential men, and the perfect harmony and]
good will exhibited, were sure a.uguries of]
success. The nomination that is made, oi»
■one so distinguished for abilities and high]
moral worth, takes away the last chance ofl
success for the whigs. The present incum-H
bent cannot be re-elected, if the democrats!
■come to the polls, for we have the majority.
The democrats have no possible reason or
motive for holding back, and every conside- I
ration of patriotism and just pride, to urge
them forward with ardor and enthusiasm. —
We are known to be personally a warm
friend and admirer of the present Executive
and disposed at all times to do him ample
justice. But the strongest partiality can find
now, no reason or plausible excuse growing I
out of public considerations or private merit,
for a democrat to give him a preference over
the pure, able, and enlightened champion of
oar principles, just nominated for the guber
natorial chair.
IT We use the discretion given us by the I
writer of “Health no Humbug,” and which i.-'g
incident to our position, to withhold that com- I
inunication, at least for the present. We |
also conclude to decline publishing, at this i
time, another communication, signed “Jus
tice,” for the reason that the question at issue
can never be settled in the newspapers, and it
is intimated to us that propositions will be
submitted which may effect a satisfactory ad- [
justmeut.
We hope that the correspondent of thefl<
Chronicle, who signs himself “Fair Play,”fl
will be agreeably disappointed, by finding!
how easy it is, when men are influenced byE
the right spiiit, “to comprehend how a com-fl
promise can take place.”
O’We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr.fl
Holmes, of the Literary Depot, for copies of®
the following works:
The Prime Minister, or the singular for-g
tunes of a Peasant and a Peer,

capital illustrations of As You Like It.

taining two beautiful engravings, and a plate!

O' We notice with much sorrow the death!
of Col. John Lamar, of Bibb, announced in a®
Savannah paper. He was truly an estima-ra
ble citizen and a thorough gentleman. Hisg
fine character and urbane manners had ren-B
de red him universally popular. j
O*We have noticed a paragraph in aS
Washington paper which seems to be going!
the rounds of the United States, and may per-!
haps travel to the remotest ends of the civi-fl
lized world, stating that the President had!
been, one day lately, slightly indisposed. Pro !
digious ! Now, if an attack of illness were!
to occur, likely to interrupt the discharge of!
his public functions, then it becomes a matter!
properly of public interest and solicitude. —fl
But it looks too much after the fashion of Eu-fl
ropean toadyism to Royalty, for our republi-fl
can notions, to parade before the country, as!
a sort of ostentatious bulletin, every fingerfl
ache of our respected President. We doubt!
whether it is any gratification to him. If her!
Majesty of England were to sip a little tea!
rather hot and scald her mouth, or were to!
sneeze audibly, the “Court Journal” would!
obsequiously note it down, to the hour and!
minute, with all the remarkable symptoms!
attending the phenomenon. Or if, as illus-fl
trated by the Columbus Times, his Royal!
Highness, the little Prince of Wales, were tog
squall for the Moon as a play thing, the whole!)
pathetic scene would be graphically sketched,!
and the ingenious devices adopted to appease!
the little innocent, would be duly chronicled.!
We. wish we had at hand the editorial of the!
“Times,” written on occasion of the an-fl
nouncement that the President had taken an fl
airing. His notions suit us precisely, and!
wc would'give them a place. "
EFAn elaborate comparison between the®
relative} prosperity of New England and Air-fl
ginia has appeared in Fisher’s Magazine, o
which has, elicited various running commea-a
taries, from several southern editors, among®
whom we find our neighbor of the Chronicle.®
Tfiey all. wind up with the conclusion that,®
New England is prosperous because the
whigs are generally in the ascendant, and
Virginia comparatively in. adversity because
■she has always been democratic,,and that
democracy is the sole cause of depression to
southern interests. Their nervous horror of
democracy isfltiite a monomania. Could we
enter fully into their feelings, we should be
seriously alarmed for the prosperity of demo
cratic Maine and New Hampshire. We are
disposed, however, to look further into the
subject. . . n :• i
The prosperity of New England is the fruit®
of the untrammelled industry of her enter-B
prising citizens. Whenever government hasg
I undertaken to control and direct, or restrains
her energies, she has been the sufferer. The
great difference between whig and democrat
ic doctrine, is, that the latter believe, the less
interference on the part of government with
industrial pursuits, the better for he citizen.
I’he former believe in the power of legislation
bv a sort of political alchemy to add to the
national wealth, by enactments in restraint ofS
trade. New England owes much of hers
wealth and prosperity to her commercial en-B
[terprise, aided by the belligerent state of Eu-3
[rope for a long period which gave her the car-gs
frying trade. But the passage of the embar-£S
[go and n< n-intercourse laws checked that||
[prosperity. It was the restoration of then
[freedom of the seas at the close of the®
■last war, which restored her to her advan-3
Itageous position. This far, she is indebted!
Ito the benign principles of free trade, to]
St he extent that they apply to the shipping!®
■interest in the intercourse between na-a
Itions. Commerce, however, is still, notwith-
Istauding the many ameliorations of pro
gressive civilization, burthened by many reg
iulations— such, for instance, as the Naviga
s ion Act of Great Britain and other kindred
■acts, which for two hundred years have pre-
Ivented fair competition. But, in despite of
[this partial and exclusive system, the enter-
Bprise of New England has placed her among
[the first commercial people of the earth. —
■ Were all the shackles that now fetter com
merce thrown off, who will deny that berg
■strides to commercial greatness would be stilly
[more gigantic. The assertion or insinuations
[that the commercial prosperity of New Eog-E
gland is an illustration of whig theories of go-H
Ivernment carried out in practice, looks rather®
■adventurous and extravagant. Il is sustain
led neither by historical facts or their results.
The Commercial interest has always been
with the free trade party.
As regards the prosperity derived from man-1
ufactures, it would have been strange, if all the
powers of the government wielded for the
purpose of favoring that interest had not pro
iduced this effect. But it has been at the ex-
Ipense of Virginia and other planting States,
■and it sounds rather like a taunt—it is extra
ordinary language issuing from a
press to point to the spoils of unjust legisla-H
tion and unscrupuous favoritism, as evidenced
of the inherent beauties of the system. Asg
well might the free buoter point to the piles*
of hoarded treasure and costly goods upon hisffi
island home, as evidence of the blessings ofg
Ipi racy to mankind. These are truly the bles-g
sings of whig policy by the national
merit to those it was intended to bless. Wei
have noticed that when a southern whig edi-3
[tor wishes proof of the advantages of whig®
■national policy, he does not point to its fruits]
(around him. The south has none to boast of.®
(But he clips out of a northern exchange pa-g
■per, such extracts as the following:
! “At Boston, Manufacturing Stocks still tend up-M
■ward. Marrimac is 51 per cent, advance; Amos-2
fkeag 4(5 per cent. The Merrimac Company have]
[declared a semi-annual dividend of 10 per cent.,l!
land its stock has again advanced to 51 per cent. 3
[premium, dividend on. \ ork or Saco is worth 32,}$
[and Palmer, which was recently sold at auction for!
[par, is now in demand at 8 advance. —Chronicler,
|4' Sentinel, June 14.
I This is, doubtless, a delightful picture for a!
[favored Lord of the spindle and the loom tog«
[contemplate. It is notdifiiculttoaccoutit for3
[a prosperity which is under the especial carCg
|and patronage of a powerful Government. 3
|As a reverse picture, we will cut a little ex-fl
[tract from a southern exchange paper, which!
[illustrates the operation here and throughout!!
[the world, of class legislation.
3 A High Tariff. — The London Economist com-3
Iputes that the people of Great Britain have paid forj£
[the tariff monopoly, in the enhanced price of bread!
sand sugar, in the past year, more than $75,000,000! 1
[What think you of this? Here are the beauties ot'Jj
[high protective tariffs—this is what modern whig-9
gery calls “protection to home industry.” or plainly]
[speaking, bounties to “manufacturers.” Seventy-w
■Five Millions of Dollars paid to the tariff]
■monopoly, in the enhanced price of bread and sugar?
[alone, in one year, by' the people of Great Britain'!]
[And for what? Simply that the rich land holders]
[there may amass fortunes at the. expense of the peo-3
Bple, just as the rich manufacturers here are wont a
[to do, by building up high tariffs.— Lynchburg fde-3
I We might color the picture by a delineations
lot our condition, languishing and declining,®
[from the operation of this system in this coun-B
[try, and in this section. But it is unneces-g
[sary.
I It is the doctrine of the right of a GovJ
[ernment to select a certain class of citizens
[as the objects of its bounty, that democrats
[oppose. It is not that they oppose manufac
[turing industry here or at the north. It is not
[that they maintain the proposition as a part
[of the Free Trade theory, “that our workshops
[should be in Europe.” Mr. Jefferson may
[have so thought, and thought correctly, at a
■juncture when he used the expression. But
[that the interest of our people then, should
[prompt them to go to Europe for supplies, es H
[tablisbes no theory, but proves a matter oIH
[transient practical expediency. The
[himself can best judge who from, and when®
|he shall buy. It is not for the government to!
[dictate to him,and provide him with the per-B
[son with whom he shall be compelled to deal.!
|and to regulate by a double operation the!
[prices at which he shall buy and at which he!
[shall sell. If he choose to buy abroad, let!
|him do so. If he prefer to purchase at home,!
[give him the privilege of doing so. If he de-E|
[sires to turn his labor and capital to mining,!
[or manufacturing, or any other new pursuitfl
[suitable to his tastes and promising a rich!
[return, he is very welcome to do so. Butdofl
[not tax others to furnish him the capi-B
|tal, or to swell his profits. Because the!
[southern people are unwilling to seethe gov-fl
[ernment, an engine of oppression and ofjj
[partiality, it is no proof of hostility to a di-3
[versity of industrial pursuits. In fact, we of J
[the south have always claimed it as a privi-3
[lege of the citizen to adopt any pursuit, to 3
[apply his labor in any way he may see pro-5
’per without any legislative interference. ?
■But these southern whig editors have com
■mitted a slight anachronism in attributing the
■superiority of New England prosperity, to the
■almighty virtues of that king-cure-all, whig
■legislation, Fishers Magazine mentions,
gthat in 1701, the population of New England
Hand its consequent prosperity was three times
that of Virginia. The retroactive powerof
modern wfiigery in the 19th century is
truly wonderful, thus to extend its bless
ings. The condition other plates,,, (Geor
gia especially, is referred to .for proof, in
contrast with New England states, ofthe re
sults ot democratic legislation. .What statej
legislation has cr ,cau have to do withj
matters touching our intercourse wjth.foreignl
countries or the regulation and control of. in-l
dustrial pursuits among..ourselves, except to]
a very limited degree, we are ata loss to per-
Iceive, What virtue there is especially in-l
herent in whig financiering, which magically
produces arithmetical results, beyond the ken
of democratic adepts in figures, we are al
an equal loss to comprehend. True, the
exploits of the United States Bank brought
marvellous novelties, to light, and vvhig
financiering may have in revive somej
still more remarkable demonstrations. If
so, the simplicity of republican forms ofgo
vernment affords too limited a theatre for
■these brilliant displays. The democratic
gparty is composed of plain people, who
■advocate a straight-forward mode of dealing
■in pecuniary transactions. They like laws]
prescribed, and strictly followed, and!
■where the laws are clear, distinct, unambiguJ
Sous, grand financial experiments are out oil
■place and uncalled for. It requires no trans-l
■Cendant intellect, but simply good common!
■sense, united with strict integrity, to obey!
■and execute the laws. But if whig domi-|
■nation and supremacy are so essential to!
!the prosperity of a state, how will such rea-j
soiling account for the wonderful and sur-j
passing prosperity of Democratic New York,!
of Democratic New Orleans, and other Dem-S
ocratic Cities and >States. Rely upon ilj
gentlemen whigs, it is not the fly upon
the Chariot wheel that kicks tip the dust.
As regards. Georgia finances, her original
embarrassments, sprung not wholly from local
causes or democratic legislation, neitherhave
-I
they been healed wholly by whig ingenuity.
But it often suits party purposes to treatcoin
cidences as proving cause and effect, and to
use them with the ignorant, as Columbus did a
Ssolar eclipse when he extorted from the natives!
■provisions for his crew, alledging the phenom-j
Senon to be a sign of divine anger at their iti-j
■hospitality. For a long time, Comets werej
■considered as sure portentsof great disasters!
and this superstition was supported by the!
historical fact of their appearing during somej
of the most calamitous events in Europeanj
I history. So the happy return of financialj
credit to our state, associated in point of tirnej
with the administration of the present Execu-[
rive, is used as indicating an effect of that!
administration.
We shall take occasion to show during the|
approaching canvass, that in many respects[
it was the result of causes totally indepen
dent, and must have ensued undei any ad
■ininistration exhibiting a moderate share of
■good sense, united with a determination to
gcarry out the enactments of the legislature.

To the Editor of lhe Constitutionalist :
In these days when men’s consciencesj
have become as elastic as India Rubber, and[
as pliant as whale-bone, especially in political
matters, and when proficiency in party chica
nery is instituted as the lest for the advance
ment ofthe merit of political men, and their
■principles, it becomes us to keep ah argus
[eye upon the manoeuvres of the whigs and
[their papers.
I I observed in the Savannah “Republican’]
[of the 28th ultimo, a communication, purport]
[ing to have been addressed to the editor ofl
[the “Cassville Pioneer,” over the signaturej
[of “A Democrat,”copied into its columns withj
[apparently great gusto and editorial triumph.!
[ rhe piece was undoubtedly intended to re
llieve Gov. Crawford of the alledged charge
[of remissness in his executive patronage over
[the A lantic and Western Rail Road, and
[justify bis retention of the. Engineer suspect
led of “partiality and apparent corruption,”
[while at the same time it takes occasion to
[“read” to the democratic party of Georgia,
[under lhe signature, and guise of “A Derno-
Icrat,” a very skillful “lecture about attempt
ing to traduce a faithful public servant;” withl
[the grave comment of its editor, the lecture is]
■na/ Zess jtrtyw than severed' Now, sir, as tol
[the merits of the case, 1 will say nothing.—|
|l leave those who are better
[with the precise specifications, and the evi-j
Fdence involved, which may be of a less sus-1
picious character than that given in ie l
above communication, to pronounce judg-|
meat upon Gov. Crawford’s degree ofculpa-|
bility.. Enough for me to say, I believe it to|
be one of tjjose instances, where the stiletto!
ofthe. enemy ia sought to be covered underj
the sacred folds ofthe democratic robe, that!
its deadly stad may be made more effective,|
and less suspected. That such a piece boreE
the appearance of being written by a democrat ,|
there is no doubt: that it was, there is a great
deal of Seethe skill, and low cun
ning manifested in its preparation. While
I reading that lecture to his party, which is not
less severe than proper, advocating the cause
of Gov. Crawford, and insinuating, that no
other man could be found to raise us from
that position in the dust where onerous taxes
have placed us, and that novy, since switch a
man is found, the “abused public servant of
Georgia should be, let alpne,,b.e. he coon or

is made to whip about in a most Iqdjcrous
tergiyersatipn, and, made gravely to assert,
“in my humble opinion wecan beat Crawford
with any body except Warner: let us contend
for principles, and we must triumph!!!'’
And then note, if you please, the disinter
ested sympathy of the editor in his comments
on Judge Warner. “Though the Judge is a
political opponent he is a man of ability, and
his claims upon his party are not to be dtspised,”
and “he ought to be entitled to the.courtesies of
his political The “faint praise”
of this editor cannot “damn” such a tn m as
Judge Warner, neither can his sickly sympa
thy enlist the influence ofthe Judge against'
his party. Should he not be nominated, he|
has sagacity enough to perceive that it will not\
be because his party is “regardless of his J
claims, from past services,” or that lie is not |
“entitled to it.” The democracy of Georgia J
appreciates, the stainless integrity, and high J
abilities of this distinguished man, and arej
justly ytroui/of Atm. Neither do they hold him
inferior to any of the candidates, and if any'
other is nominated it will only be, because in.
the opinion of tli£ Convention, the claims oU
many of Georgia’s brightest sons, must be de-j
ferred to that politfy which is calculated Ur
ensure certain victory. The truth is,

ner thinkhebas been an injured man, in or-J
der to stay that tide of influence which
I whigs know he can throw against
Doubtless they will receive the proper rebuke.j*
They seem to make the absence of injury tooj
much the sine qua non of Crawford s
lion, as if, it is a political godsend,
now they have a man who has not injured by *
his policy, the country! As for the
good he has done, they know he could scarce-%

II George Guess.— This celebrated Cherokee|
Indian’s fate is at last known. He has been!
dead for upwards of a year. The amount!
appropriated by Government to be used in!
hunting him up has resulted in bringing to]
light his death—he has gone to his last ac-[
count. This intelligence was brought in by[
some Cherokees just from the Spanish coun-[
fry. It will be remembered that he was the!
inventor ofthe Cherokee alphabet.
A Crash.— We learn by Gay’s Express!
from Boston, that yesterday afternoon, asj
some workmen were employed in teari»g[
down a building in Washington street, thej

Dunbar, crushing it in, wounding several la-|

the time.of thel accident, and destroying a|
quantityof goods, &c. ilt was reported, also]
that some of the workmen were buried be

g 77<e Crops.— As the season advances the situa-E
[tion and prospect of the growing crops attracts in-]
[creasing attention. We mentioned last week that]
the reports from the interior were generally favor ]
able; since then we have heard a good many com-]
plaints from different counties in this State and]
Mississippi, of the altered appearance ano unpro-]
mising aspect of the cotton plant, occasioned by]
lhe depredations of insects, and a disease known in]
the country as “sore shin,” caitsed by cold and wet]
weat her. From other sections of the interior, how-]
ever, the accounts are still favorable, and although]
lhe season has generally been admitted as two]
weeks later than last, it will be remarked that the]
I first cotton blooms appeared a day or two earlier]
his season, in our own State, and about a weeka
ooner in Mississippi. On the 24th ult. full blown!
blooms were seen in Warren county in that State!
j tnd bolls as large as musket balls on the Ist inst!
I The early blooming of cotton is regarded by many!
is indicating a long season, or a late frost, and con-1
equently a large crop. The numerous casualties!
howeVfer, to w hich this plant is exposed, and the]
long period yet to elapse before the crop can be]
•onsidered made, should admonish us of the fntili-1
iy of speculating upon the subject for months to!
ome. We hear complaints also from Louisiana.!
and from the same cause. Os the extent of these]
unfavorable influences w e are unprepared to speak.]
