GCLraL Jackois as he formerly was, and
as he new' is.
What a startling contras, what a spec
tacle is here presented, cempared with
what General Jackson ouce was-the
- hau hty, Iself.willed, and to those lie
like not, an overbearing man-in all ca
seo of thwarting, or resistauce, preferring
fore to discussion, for accomplishing his
- .he oIay Chief lstagi.trato of a
njty people. before whom *adversaltes
queled nod opposition withered-the
stern, impetuous warrior, whose4 dclights
had been
"The cannon's roar, the trumpet's clang,
Thei ofOte strie! .

To hiM the breath of life,
. He who had, with blazing eye and dis
tended nostril, rushed to tbe reelirig abuck
ofeestending armies, withhe fierce exul
tastion of the baitle-traincd war steed.
Now, oh, how changed! pale, emaciated,
feeble, gentle, helpless almost as infancy,
and. humble as piety, bending in the pre
sence of Omnipotenee-stantds the chief an
his hall; his tall,wasted,.formt, bowed from
leaning on the staf' indispenable to sup
purt his steps, on the ,verge of that last
resting-place appointed for..oll living.
Verily, Marlus in extle, reclining on the
ruins of Canhage. presented not a scene
nore alecting and admonitory. .
The mysterious princ:ploof a3sociation
here biings fresh and bright upon our
memory the followting Iong-forgotten lines
of Collins; they are iotriosicnlly so beau

How sleep the braTe. who siik to rest
By all their country's wishes blest !
When Spring seturns, with fingers eoll.
To deck with fowers their hallow'd would.
She then shall deck a sweeter sod

y airy buds their knell is rung,

There, Honor comes, a pilgrim gray,
To lesn the turfthat wras their clay,
And Freedom shall awhile re-pair
To dwell a weeping mourner there.
It gladdens oir heart to learn.from somc
or the Ex-Presideat's peighbors. thatsince
his retran to the HBerminge, his life has,
in all its aspects. been that of an exem
paychristian ; and from his frienads,tbat,
frtayyears before, he had bees much
mnore nder the influence of religious feel
ings than thes hosts of libellers and malig
sant slanderer' ibat assailed'him permit
ted the world to believe. Indeed. Jack
,on's spirit seems, like thai of Neluoeu's, to
have bet n naturally devtiuonal, uiumidt
s'ar.ding fearful outbreakings, on the part
of loth, of an oppsiite c-hi met.Th

The fsalts of this~emisent man, whose
fame occupies so conspicuous a place in
-the record of our country's eiory, sprung
*on'whe teuperamaent and its unchecked
impulses kept in constant activity by the
rugh and strongly-marked character of
the people among whom he passed many
Sears et his life ; his virtues, his estima
le-goalities, were the growth of his heart.
MJs sobleness, his gseeosity undt candor
'whea snged,. his fe'sest, sndeesuing
affection, for his friends and devoted love
of his country, still wrarm with undimin
isshed energy the boeom of the aged heeo.
Is it oet true, that "evented in our askes
live their econleafires ?" Anad uhese~with,
.eeeaingly unimpaired intelligence, that
4ivine esseace. which survives the "wreck
of matter ad lies crush of worlds," is
nearly all nowl~lefs of the man who filled,

/'heat Crop in liudiana.-From the
most accurate itformation we can cnlect,
says the Baniser. publihed at Madisnu,
we are inclined to the belief that the yiel4
in Indiana will be at least equal. if not
better than last year's crop. Ft o n an io
telliraet gentleman of Madison. just re
turned from the neighbourhod of Nnpoleon t
and Versailles, we l.-arn snat the crop is it
very prom'sing. A quan;iotity. of Siierianu ti
nheat sawedfhy Mr. ilunier of Versailles, ti
in April. will yield Croms 25 to 30 bushels
to the acre, and it is believed,will average $1
68 pounds to the bushel:. From the same ,4
gentleman we al6 learn that there is yet a,
a large supply -f last year's crop on hand 11
in the interior of the State. Abontt 100 q

that the. farmers in that region commenced P
cutiing their grain on Wednesday last and
that harvesting has been pretty generally b

intervened bas retatded harvest operations
considerably.
Our farmers have been busy in their

the middle of the next, will have finished

P. and Jutice ofltte Peace, the chair was I
taken by Mr. Corneliu- O'llricn. NM P.
-nd Justice of the Prace. Mr. O'Cuonnel's
speech did not inmaterially difrer from the
general run of those whien he has lately
delivered ; but lie announced a niew stage
in his: gitation, and gave an imput tant cx
planatiotiv
he hati w onf Repealrs he would
begin another career; andl he mi;;ht as
well then announce that the principal im
pedimint which existed agninst Einanci
pation did not all exist as regarded Repeal
or the Union. It was neces.sary for an
English Parliament to pass a law granting
Emancipation; but in the case of Repeal
it was not necessary. The Mo!use of
Lords at first threw it out ; but the teople
gave a little chirp, and it was soon allowed
to pass without any very strenuous oppo
sition. The Queen's Prerogative cull
revive the 1rieb Parlamnut (!)-as Jaine%
Ithe First did when he created 44 horniis
in Ireland, Eivint; suffrage o twelve I'ro
testants ; and Ennis was one of the hmii
bargzains. The itme had arrived for her
Majesty to order new trits for the Irish
Parliamient: and he aured thenm he was
not talking of itma-inarv things whent he i
told th-:mn 'i4tinctly nod Cmphatically.th;at
by the aid of tihe qacen's naice. and with
unt any appeal to Parlameunt, th'y coutild

glisimen have Eugland , let Scotchruen
have Scotland ; let Frenehmni have
France, and it was a beautiful country
let Dutchmen have Ilailland, wi't its dikes

A meeting at Athione on Sunday was

are variously stated-fromo 50.(00 ttm 400.

Among nttractions hebtl out as consf-eque

sugar at a third of its present price; three
rforths to be taken off [ea: one half oB
tobacco; county charges to he paid oui
of the nadonal treasury ; hospitals for the
ick and destitute. supported out of the
ecicsiostical revenues; no absenteeism,
with -9.000.000 spent in the country in.
stead of out of it ; and "fixity or tenure."
This last he explained; no landlord should
recover rent unles, under a lease for 21
yars ; at the termtnation of that period,
he should be comp#Itd to renew the
lease. or pay the senant the value of 1.is
improvements ; and to prevent putting too
much rent in the lease, it should be higher
tian the Ordnance valuation of lands, or,
in 'he absence of that 'tet, where the
Ordnance Survey had not extended, it
Abutld be fixed by the solvent-ouant test
-what a olent tenant would give for the
land. "These were the solhd and lasting
fruits he anticipated fron the Repeal."
At the sulsequent dinner, among his
usual threats he insinuated tbis qualific
lion
'lTey hai come here to be free or to
die. (liere te company rose, waved
their huis. and cheered for sone time.)
But ie thought they night put dyin onut
ofthe question. He always preferred one

(laught.r)--and he had nervlyintrodurel
the 1lternative of death in the phrensy of
oratorial display-(laughter) to show that
they wcre ready for the attack if it was

At the weekly Repeal tneeting of th
Repeal Associ-tion, on 5lo,:day. Mr.
IfYConell asnu sced that the Repeal rent
for t!h pna: week amounted to 3,1034 7s.

Vixen. . ith the Secretary of Legation Oa,

delay in the ratifietion of the treaty was
auricipated, in cons -quence of Ile death
ofElepoo. The Pl--uipotentiary bad been
dissuaded from proceeding northward for
tie present, in case of missing the new
Chinese Commissioner on his way south
Oard from Pekin. Everything cautioned
gutet, and the ill-feeling towards the En
glish appeared to be abating at Canton.
Nothing of any note in the way ofaght
ing has occurred since our last; bt another
great battle waa looked for about the be
ginning of June. Shere Mahomed bad
managed to collect from the hills to the
westward an army of w0,000 Baloocbes,
with 20 guns; tbcsc were posted in a.
strong position near lyderabad, so as to
cut off the communication with Pukkar,
It was understood that Sir Charles Napier
would go out to meet them as soon as re
orfocements arrived sufficient to make op
tir the loss of her Majesty's 22nd and tibe
Ist Grenadiers.

-A Grog Shop Demolished."-We al

was held unidcr patent from "King Al

pronuunced.all his executive officers won'd

labors. The Teinporance men ofWAno

Lyich to decide a case at issue between
ticium and a Grog Shop, and lie passed
.entence (in the latter. The JadAe, be it
urderstood, always gives his deciion in
favor 61 the majority, be they right or
wrong. It would appear. according to
the erparte statement published in the
Temperance Advocate, that the groggery
in question. becarmnIfrensive to a potion

We are compelled to watch. witb a jeal

The moment they exceed their duty, and
