The public journals continue to pour in upon us, shrouded in mourning, or bearing upon their columns the most touching manifestations of the pub-. ?i? i r .u:. Tt,. lie griet at tne kpm ui who 6.... ........ . n_? lion hu already lost much, if not all, of the party character which was originally given to it in this city. It has become a national?an American question. A Ithough some of the most remarkable acts of Gen. Jackson's life wen1 connected with his political views, yet there are others of a most important bear nig, in which every American will deeply and sincerely sympathize. His early conduct during the revolutionary war?the energy of his military career during the Creek war?the splendor and niugmlicence of his achievements during the war of Ibl2?the brilliant results of our foreign relations during his eight years' administration?the exalted name which he has impressed upon the people of Europe?his intimate connexion with the cause of Texas?his wonderful sagacity as u states ) man?his enthusiastic devotion to the Union, which "most be preserved"?the energy of the "man ol the iron will," softened, as it was, by the devotion of his friendships, the great courtesy and refinement of his manners, and the tenderness of his domestic feelings?constitute, altogether, a character of which every American may well be proud, as u citizen of the country which gave birth to so extraordinary a man. But we forbear; other abler pens will do him justice. The struins of poetry, and tin efl'usions of the orator, will contribute to his repulation. It will be our duty to gather them together, and assist in wreathing a worthy chaplet around the brow of the patriot of the Hermitage. We have already succeeded in drawing the following small tribute from one of the first pens in the country. The author knew General Jackson well, and knew how to appreciate his virtues and his services. We ute happy to hear that Mr. Bancroft has prompt ly yielded to tne urgent request ot trie uemocrnuc association of this city, and will deliver a eulogium upon General Jackson. We are aware that, Burrounded as he is by his numerous public engagements, notwithstanding his general habits of composition, and the great rapidity of his pen, he will be compelled to deny himself many of the comforts of society, and to devote the midnight lamp to the execution of this pious purpose. It is unnecessary to say that few men are as well qualified to perform the noble office. Kor the Union. GENERAL JACKSON. It is not an easy task to write an obituary of the great man for whose death a notion is now mourning. No intimate friend of his can take up his pen for such a purpose, without feeling his impotence to do justice to the subject. - He feels that language it luudequate to convey his admiration of the talents, patriotism, and integrity, which death has made his victim; or his affection for the kindness, the faithfulness, and the unchungeab'leness of that heart which has ceased to beat. Thousands of pens are now writing, and a thousand times ten thousand tongues are now speaking ,'orth the great acts of this Inst great man of the age of'evolutions; and, in paying a just tribute to his milit. vy and civil services, we should add hut a feeble i "esponse to the general acclaim with which the natiorf resounds. We feel, also, that we cannot do him justice us a statesman without harshly grating on the feelings of those who did not agree with him as to the DOliCT of some of his most importani nets; and we w^uld nol on this i"?ccasion say a wort) to qualify, in the least, the sincere tT'e'" which fills every truly American bosom at the d.'-nth of one whose whole soul was devoted to his country, "'"J whose errors in policy (if any he committed) .sprung from a jealousy, perhaps excessive, of all laws .Mid institutions which tend unnecessarily to take front labor its just reward, or subject human action toanyl other control or influence than that of on enlight-l ened reason and an honest heart. Leaving all those matters to the progress of time and the pen of history, we purpose speaking of Gen. Jackson more as a man than as a soldier or a statedman. Upon his merits as a soldier, the world has already pronounced a favorable decision; his acts as a statesman are before that tribunal; their objects ?nd consequences are becoming daily better developed; and the final decision will do him justice. It it his private virtues only, in relation to which all thr materials for forming a just opinion are not befort ths public. The fidelity of General Jackson's heart to his friends, and itn affection for his family, were equa to its devotion to his country. Ilis love was romantic. Neither absence nor Hge, nor the death of Ihe loved object, abated its ardor. To the day ol his own dissolution, his attachment to the wife of lib you'll remained as ardent as when he first took liei to his bosom. In health, her portrait was wort nearest his heart; and in sickness, it was placet where he could gaze upon it from his bed. He image was one of the angels which made up the so ctety of that heaven to which he looked as his eter nnl l.rvwvo. o.wl oA^m.inlan u/ith hur in his im agination, no small portion of its happiness. The love which General Jackson entertained fo his wife brought all her kindred within the circle o his affections. They became his brothers, sisters and children, creating the solicitude of all those rcla tionn, and sharing in his kindnrss and bounty. Hi slaves were treated more like members of his family than as beings doomed to live and labor for his pleas ure and emolument. Well clad, living in comforta ble houses, supplied with the best of food, tender); nursed when sick, receiving religious instructioi and kind admonitions, they constituted a little coir munity, enjoying as much of happiness and hope a sver falls to the lot of their condition. The friendships of General Jackson were stron and , 'nduring. It was almost impossible for hit to thins' a man 10 whom he had once given hi confidence. It required the most decisive evidence of personal u "kindness, of bad fui!h,of moral debt quency, or of in'^delity to the country, to sever th rhain which hou."^ '>'? heart to one whom he ho recognised as a fricn. this noble trait may t found the true cause of .'^at tenacity, during his at ministration of the gover.^roent, to men whom f had advanced, which was all."touted by some to lei worthy considerations. The tendency of General Jackson's mind, f< many yearn before hia advancement to me prei dency, was devotional. He wn3 never a jhsbeliev of the Chrintian religion; and aa lie advanced yearn, he acquired a firm faith in ita truth. Ro gnus observances were maintained in hia funiil and, during hia administration of the govemmer he seldom, or never, retired at night without callii in a member of his family to read to him a ehapt of the Bible; ami never, it is lielieved, did he lay h head upon his pillow, or rise from it, without prayer to Heaven for its guidance and support in the performance of hi* arduous and responsible duties. Soon lifter the close of his administration, as bad long been his purpose, he became a professor of religion, and remained an exemplary member of the church as long as he lived. In a little church, built by him and his neighbors, on ground which he furnished in u secluded spot adjoining his plantation, might this great man be seen, every Subbath, while his health permitted, bowing in adoration of his Maker and Utdeemer, the humblest among the bumble worshippers. Many men meet death on the battle-field, or in any condition of high excitement, without fear; but lew there ure who can sit down and wait for it with composure. Of that few was Andrew Jackson The calmness and resignation with which he witnessed the slow approach oflhe King of Terrors, lev filing Ins filial dart with a cool dclilieiation, as if to test the firmness of his victim, was truly heroic. Even after the final blow was struck, u few hours of revived consciousness were allowed, us if to show with what calmness a mini who has acted well his part on earth, and placed his hopes in heaven, can die. Iii that interval, ull the noble quulities of the departing spirit poured forth in u last gush. Affection for his family and friends, devotion to his country, faith in his Redeemer?all that ennobles u man and a Christian, exhibited themselves amidst a calm composure, which few could assume on u temporary separation from those they love. How beautiful the closing scene of an eventful life ! How unlike those great men who have drawn the sword to conquer nations, instead of defending them ! In drunken brawls and sensual indulgences, Alexander rushed to his end; Ctesar, after extinguishing the liberties of Rome, fell by the hands of assassins; and Napoleon, banished froir. mankind, spent his last days in complaining and repining on a rock of the ocean. But our Washington and our Juckson, who fought only to defend their country, and lived to serve and bless it, after.filling the measure of its glory, and acquiring an enviable immortality in the admiration and affections of the human race, went to rest in the arms of their families, and lie entombed upon their own plantations; awaiting the day wiien the good and great shall be called to hear the sentence of "Well done, good and fuitliful servants," before an assembled universe, and enIter upon their eternal reward. There let lliem rest! While the gratitude of a threat and just people shall he shown by obelisks and monuments rising up, like forest trees, over a wide continent, let no sacrilegious hand, with proud ostentation, disturb the ashes of the Christian heroes. They rest in the places most appropriate to the characters they maintained, the principles they advocated, and the institutions they defended. Let the republican and the Christian make his pilgrimage to Mount Vernon und the Hermitage; but let not the remains of the mighty dead be dragged from the resting-places which their republican simplicity and Christian humility selected, to sanctify any gorgeous shrine, or give interest to any proud monument. Their works, their fame, their lessons of wisdom, and their admonitions, are their country's und mankind's. But their remains arc their God's; and let no felon hand remove them from the storehouses where they ure deposited, until the voice of their owner again speaks life into them, and calls them to enjoy an eternity of happiness and glory. ADDITIONAL. In addition to this brief but beautiful memoir, we have thrown upon our preceding columns a variety of tributes that have been paid to Goncral Jackson in other places. But we prefer to place here two others, which we draw, as it were, from his neighbors and his home. The first is from the "Nashville Union," (a democratic paper;) the other is from the "Nashville Republican Bunner,"(a decided whig paper, but, on this occasion, liberal and just.) From the Novhville I'nion, June ltf. THE DEATH AND BURIAL OF GENERAL ANDREW JACKSON. For spme months past, it had been becoming daily more and more certuin that the earthly career of General Jackson was rapidly drawing lu u close. Several times, of late, he was snatched from the very jaws of death by the timely and skillful application of medicinal remedial, and a few more days added to liia eventful life. On Sunday morning last, however, it beramo apparent that the skill of the physician was exhausted, and that the demands ot the grim monster could no longer he resisted. The progress of Ins disease was such, that life cotild no longer be sustained. This fact was known to the suffering old hero early on Sunday, and lie freely communicated to his friends his consciousness that his thru hud come. During the day, his mind wus occupied with his "future state"?his conversation hnd constant reference to his approaching dissolution; hut at no time did he express the slightest apprehension as to his entire preparation for the awful change, or the least fear at appearing in the presence of his Cereal Judge. We huve heard many interesting details of his last day's conversation, which wc intend to present hereafter in an authentic shape. At this time we must he content to state, that, after discovering that he could last but a few hours, he summoned around him his faithful domestics, and, in u strain of pious eloijuence, exhorted them to fidelity in all their duties, impressing upon them the all-im portant subject of Christianity; and, upon taking an affectionate leave of them, he expressed the sincere hope thut he might meet them all in heaven. His conversation with his beloved family was characterized hy the deepest solicitude for their attention to- religion. lie retained his intellect in full vigor down to the very time of his dissolution. His bodily pain was great, but it seemed to have no effect upon the clearness or vigor of his mental operations. His dying hour was cheered with the bright assurance within him, that in a few short moments he would be united in heaven with his beloved wife, who hud gone before him. Amongst the last things he said, was, that his sufferings, though great, were nothing in comparison with those of his dying Saviour, through whose death and suffering lie looked for everlasting happiness. In this temper of inind, he quietly and calmly breathed his last, ut 6 o'clock, p. m., on Sunday, the Uth instant. When the intelligence reached Nashville, the board of mayor and aldermen assembled at the city hall, and adopted the following preumblc and resolutions: "At a rail*") meeting of thi t oard of may or and aldermen of the city of Nashville, at nine o'clock on the 9th of June. 184V the mayor briefly stated the object of the meeting, a hen the follow ing preamble and resolution* were often d, and unanimously adopted: "Whereaa we hare received the melancholy intelligence ofthe dispensation of Providence in renroving'lrom amongst us our much-citecmed and diatinguiihed fellow-citizen, (ieneral Andrew Jackson: ami n bci.-a- it is due both to hi: public and private chatacter, and proper for every citizen of Nashville, and for every American, to nay respect to the memory of a name which Itaa gained for itaelf never-fading iaurela, both in the cabinet and in the field and which has eminently contributed to raiae Tennessee to tire high di> rinction which aire possesses among her sister States: and wheraas it becomes its as Teaoeiseeans to pay that respect ;o his memory which the efficient services he has rendered his country merits: Therefore be it "Resulted Ay 'A' Arru.d of mayor and ofdemtrn .i/rAr city of X? thrill*.

"Re to bed, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the different newspapers of the city. "FELIX ROtofciKXbON, Chairman. "Z. F. Gabpnks, b'ecrttary." The recommendations of the meeting of citizens were promptly acquiesced in during the day on Tuesday. Business of every kind was suspended the houses were all closed, and the city had all the appearance of a Sabbath. Minute guns were fired front 11 o'clock until 1 o'clock, and the bells at (ill the churches were tolled. Early on Tuesday morning every vehicle in the city thut could be procured was put in requisition, and a vust concourse of citizens repaired to the Hermitage. There was an immense assemblage present from all the surrounding towns and counties The body of the old hero was laid out in the parlor 9with the face uncovered?every one being anxious to take a last lingering look at him. We suw prea-fr ent many of his old companions in arms, and many If a tear fell from their manly cheeks as they gazeu for the last time upon his features cold in death. At 11 o'clock, the Rev. Dr. Edgar preached a most impressive and eloquent sermon. His text was taken from Revelutions, 7th chap., 13th and 14th verses? "13th. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, vvhataio these which are arrayed in white iobe? I And wheuco came they f "14th. And 1 said unto him, sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, these are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washr.l their robes and made them white in the blood ol the Lamb." Tlii* eloquent divine gave an interesting sketch of the conversion of General Jackson about six or seven years ago, and bore the strongest testimony in behalf of his Christian life and waik. His deiinea tion of ins chsrucler as a soldier, commander, statesman, and patriot, was striking and eloquent. After the religious services were ended, the body was conveyed to the vault prepared many years since for its reception. The following gentlemen acted us pnll-beurers on the solemn occasion, viz: Jacoli McGavock, esq., Joseph Norvell,sen., esq., Joseph W. Horton, esq., Joseph Litton, esq., Captain Alpha Kingsley, Timothy Dodson, esq., James Ridley, esq., Thomas Claiborne, esq., Daniel Graham, esq., Dr. J. Shelby, F. B. Fogg, esq., Hon. M. W. Brown, and David Craighead, esq. In the presenee of the vast assembly, without pomp or display, his body was deposited by the side of that of his beloved wife, which lias been there resting for sixteen years. It was his wish that he should be buried nuietly and peacefully, without pomp or display; and so it was done. Captain Carroll's tine company of Blues was present in uniform, which gave additional interest to the occasion. The solemn ceremony was closed by the discharge of three volleys over the grave, under the command of General Harding. Thus died, and thus was butied, General Andrew Jackson. We deem it unnecessary to speak of the character of one so illustrious, that his name and fame have filled the world. He had emphatically filled the measure of his country's glory; and, at a ripe old age, he quietly and calmly breathed his lost, having made his peace with Ins God, and laid up for himself an imperishable treasure in heaven. From the Nashville Republican Banner, June 11. Dr.atu of Gln. Jackson.?Andrew Jackson breathed his last at the Hermitage on Sunday, the Sth instant, at six o'clock in the Afternoon. He is represented to have retained his faculties to the end, and to have died "quietly, calmly, and with entire resignation, amidst the beloved members of his family, and a few intimate friends who were present." Thus has passed from the stage of life, and gone to liiu "Inno- nccoiint." n rrinn who for more than twenty-five years lias filled a large space in the public eye, and has exerted mure influence over his countrymen than any one of his contemporaries, or probably than any individual, with one exception, that has preceded aim His career will constitute an important portion of his country's history, and his name is destined to live while that country continues to exist It will require a pen of more than ordinary power to give his biography, and to present to posterity a correct account of the eventful scenes of his public career, whether civil or military. Nature had poured out her gifts lavishly ujion him?endowing him with an intellect of extraordinary vigor, a will of iron?and, at the same time, a suavity of manner, and nn elegance of demeanor, which, all copibined, would have made him a man of "mark and note" in any part of the world. Few men excelled him in personal address, and he impressed all who approached liiin with the opinion that they were in the presence of u being of no ordinary character. Wc well remember to have heard a distinguished diplomatist assert that, in his carriage and bearing as President of the United Slates, he seemed to possess intuitively, and to display without an effort, qualities which other individuals did not exhibit, whose whole lives' bad been pussed in the most refined courts of Europe. He had the power, beyond most men, of infusing his own spirit and opinions into those who came near him, and of arousing their personul attachment. Many of his companions in arms, who endured privutious with him on the plums of Alabama and Florida, and shared in his glory and success at New Orleans, however much they may have afterwards differed with him in political opinion, have never forgotten the clmrm uiitl dignity of hm manners, his readiness to divide with them the last morsel of bread in his knupsack. or inc mm uroj) ui wiucr in ma cmuccu, anu uic cheerfulness wiili which, under whatever disadvantages or troubles they niuy have been laboring for the tune, he directed their thoughts to a day of final triumph and victory, and once more revived their drooping spirits by bright pictures of their distant homes and offutuie happiness. And, in whatever part of the country these old soldiers may be, when they hear of the death of their general, tears will involuntarily spring into their eyes, and their busy thoughts will conjure up the stirring scenes through which, under his guidance, they have passed. On iVfonday morning, shortly after the intelligence of the death of uen. Jackson was received, the mayor convened the board of aldermen, who adopted the preamble and resolutions whirli will be found in another column; and in the afternoon the citizens held a meeting, the proceedings of which we also publish in another part of our paper. Y'esterday every place of business was closed, and our citizens, for the most part, went up to the Hermitage to pay the last solemn rites to the distinguished deud. A very large concourse assembled from the town and country, and u most impressive and eloquent sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. KdgHr. The body was borne to the grave by the pall-hearers appointed by the meeting on Tuesday, and, without ostentation or parade, but in the midst of silence and tears, wus placed by the side of her whom in life he had loved so well. GENERAL MEETING IN WASHINGTON. We much regret that our priming engagements! prevented our uttending the general meeting, which is held this evening at the City Hall, to do honor to the memory of General Jackson. We understand the meeting is a crowded one, and that General Vun Ness is in the chair. We shall give the proceedings to-morrow evening. It.

The last time lie signed his name was on Saturduy evening, the 7th instant. The Hon. Thomas P. Marshall hud written to inquire into the situation of his health.

He is well acquainted with the importance of protecting New York in case of sny outbreak, and will deeote all his attention and energies in placing the city in safe position. APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT OFI THE UNITED STATES. f The following appointment* have been made by] the President to fill vacancies occurring by the cx-l piration of the term of service of the present incumbents. The term of these officers is limited by law lo four years. It w ill be remenrilierrd that, four years ago, during the extra session of Congress, (of 1841,) hundreds of democrats, who were honest and faithful public officers, were removed?their only offence being their attachment to the tenets and principles of the republican aarty?and their places were filled by whtgs, many of whom were violent partisans of the then dominant party. The President has not chosen to remove the whigs who were thus appointed by proscribing democrats; but has permitted them to serve out the full erm for which they were appointed. These commislions are now expiring; and as they do so, it becomes the duty of the Piesideut to fill the vacancies is they occur. In performing this duty, it is but justice to the democratic party that honest and com...?. j ._ .1?i.i i.? i ,i ?< ices, from which democrat* were so unceremoliously ousted to make room for whig* in 1841. Many other vacancies, it is understood, will occur ihorlly, which it will be the duty of the President to ill. As these appointments will occupy a prominent dace in our columns, we have deemed it proper to tccompany them with the statement that they are ippointments made, not in consequence of the renoval of the late incumbents, but to fill vacancies which have been created by law. The dispensation >f the executive patronage is one of the most delicate, difficult, and irksome duties under the governnent. The President is sensible that he must discharge his duties firmly, however painfully it may iperute in particular cases. OFFICIAL. APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT. Conimerciul agent.

Mr. Lawrence, therefore, s fortunate in the opportuneness of his appointment, aut he is besides a citizen of integrity and great perioral! worth; and his selection will be very satisfactory to, and popular with, the mercantile and monlyed interests of New York city. That the administration of the trust reposed in him will be ennJuctcd with ability and integrity, no one will doubt. In n political point of view, the appointment is undoubtedly the most unexceptionable thai could have been made from the conservative ranks. [Jllbani) Jltlai. ? Commodore Stockton.?It may he recollected that this officer recently sailed witli the fleet from Galveston, on a cruise down the Gulf, intending to look in at Brazos, Santiago, Corpus Christi, and other ports in that vicinity. The cause of his sudden return to Galveston was the illness of Mr. Wicklifie, who was on hoard of the Princeton at the time, and who suffered so severely from sickness, that it was necessary to land him at Velasco.

The cross-examination of Lieutenant Browning vas continued by the judge advocate, and concluded. 1 written statement by Lieutenant Browning, of the onvcrsalion he had with the Argentine commander, /ommodore Fitton, which he made on the 20th of November, 1844, was shown him; and he was quesioned by the judge advocate relative to the contraction he had, in his examination in chief, attributed to Commodore Fitton in his conversation with Captain Voorheea in the cabin of the Congress, and rith Lieutenant Browning on board Commodore Alton's ship. Lieutenant Browning had testified hat, on board the Congress, Commodore Fitton, irhen asked by Captain Voorhees respecting the ring by the Sancala into the barque Rosalba, relied that he disclaimed it, and kuew nothing of it. ie had also said, in the same conversation in the abin, that ha had asked the captain of the Sancala 'lie lmd fired into the Rosalba, and he said he had lOt. Previous to thia, on board his own vessel, Comlodore Fitton had told Lieutenant Browning that he captain of the Sancala reported to him that he ad fired when the fishing-boat was alongside the Losalba, and that he (Commodore Filton) told him e hud done right, and to fire again. In the written statement of the witness, it appeard that Commodore Fitton said he had told the captin of the Sancala to fire again at them, (meaning he enemy's fishing-boats,) if they were protected >y the Rosalba; that she had no right to protect heir enemies; and that the other squadrons and commodore Turner conceded this right, if Captain foorhees did not. With this explanation, elicited by the cross-examnation, there does not appear to be any contradicion or material difference between the two statenents of Commodore Fitton. Lieutenant Browning also testified that there was 10 notice on board the Congress of the firing of the iancala into the barque Rosalba, (of which there las been no proof, except the written statement of lilas E. Burroughs, the owner, sent to Capt. Vooriees;) and that the Argentine squadron were much arther otf from the Rosalba than the Congress. In mswer to a question to that effect, he ulso said that ie did not mention that fact, nor did Captain Voorices, as a reason for presuming that the Argentine ommarider could not have seen any such occurrence, nd for calling upon him to disclaim it, previous to apturing his whole squadron, without giving any ipportunity for explanation. Passed Midshipman Blair was called by the acused, and proved the hand-writing of a letter from ** ** ~e a if ? *?.:j.a n a-:., \r u..? . Hi. iviuss, ui mojiicviucu, w vajMam t uuiucco, fter the transactions. The judge advocate objected to the ndmission of he letter as evidence, and the objection was susuined; but, at the request of the accused, the letter vns allowed to be appended to the record. The udge advocate also read a letter from Mr. Villadaoeroa, the minister of General Oribe, to the United Itates consul at Montevideo, (Mr. Hamilton,) urguag with much force and ability against the lawfuless of the capture of the Sancala; and Mr. Hamilan's reply to the same was also read. The accused here closed his testimony; and the udge advocate called Lieut. Bache, who was the nly witness who understood the answer of Comtiodorc Fitton to the huil of Capt. Voorhces ordertig him to strike his flag. The answer was, that le desired a conversation first; which was refused. Lieut. Browning had estimated the distance of the Irgentine squadron from the Hosalbn, when the fling took place, at a quarter of a mile. In answer o the judge advocate, Passed Midshipman Blair tated the distance a mile and a half or two miles, ind Lieut. Bache stated it at between two and three niles. This, it was said, increased the improbability hat the Argentine commander observed the transition. The judge advocate called Acting Lieut. B. S. innnt, and offered u question as to orders given ly Capt. Voorhces to witness, to take beef from lusco by force, if it wus refused by Gen. Oribe, to upply the American merchant vessels against the erms of the blockade. He stated it was offered to ebut the testimony of Lieut. Browning, in answer o a question by the accused, as to the mode of supdying the merchantmen with fresh beef. The ac :used objected to the question; and, on deliberation, he court sustained the objection. The judge advocate here closed the testimony, and he accused did the same. The counsel of the aciiised was, at his request, allowed till 11 o'clock, Saturday next, to bring in the written defence, and he court adjourned to the usual hour on Friday. The defence will probably occupy Saturday. The udgc advocate having delivered the law in hisopenng argument, will not, it is understood, reply; nor s it held to be customary in naval courts martial to lo so. The court will then have to hear the evidence read iver; which will occupy a day or two before the inding of the judgment. It is understood that another trial is to be coninenced as soon as this is concluded. \XT ANTED?By a man and his wife having no \V children, a situation in the country.

Adjourned. ALFRED VAIL, Aesiat. Sup. of Elec. Mug. Tel. Waihinotom, Juna 19, UM.V CRIMINAL COURT OF WASHINGTON. In publishing, yesterday, the proceedings of the criminal court of Washington county, relative to the death of General Jackson, the address of Mr. Hohan wus unavoidably omitted. We are now enabled to present to our readers the following eloquent remarks of that gentleman: Mr. Hobam sniil, that he believed he spoke the general sentiment of all by whom he was surtounded?he certainly spoke from the fulness of his own heart?when he rose to advert to the striking event just announced by the district attorney. Upon many points of the history of the distinguished deceased?upon many of thr events of Ins stirring and active career?now that the uctors in them still survive, and the passions und the feeling;which accompanied them are still alive and unextinguished,?we cannot expect, and it is unreasonable to usk, a perfect unanimity of opinion. But there are some traits in the character?there arc some incidents in the career of the soldier and patriot whose demise now occupies the attention, and awakens the grief of the American people, the consideration of which can be ungrateful to none who value the high excellences of our nature. We are here to mingle our sympathies with those of our countrymen, above the grave of one whose noble deeds are a part of our proudest records?whose lion heart and generous spirit constituted him a striking example oflhe bravery and worth, which we rejoice to claim as attributes of the American character. None will deny that, upon the age in which he lived?upon the men and scenes by which he was surrounded?Andrew Jackson has exercised a wide-spread and enduring influence. His fervid nature, to the last moment of his being, exhibited the same bold attributea. An interest in the advancement of his political principles?a father's solicitude for the spread of tlie empire of western freedom?left him only with the last breath of his existence. mm His career as a politician?the boldness of his views?the manliness of their enforcement?the candor of their avownl?are before the world. Men differ?and have a right to differ?as to the effect of his measures and his principles upon them and upon their country. But few, indeed, are tliey who would deny him honesty of motive and integrity of purpose. Upon those measures, and those principles, let posterity judge. When the men ana the passions of the day have past, not a friend of his fears the sentence which the calm and enlightened, who succeed us, will pass upon them. But if in these he erred, he erred with brilliant intellects and noble spirits; he erred on the side of justice and equality; he erred with those whose belief was in advancement?in the self-regenerating capacity of our nature?in the fitness ana capability of man for the business of self-government. 1( lie erred, he erred in favor of the dignity of our nature, and the practicability of enlarged human liberty. But, in our belief, he did not err. No ! Brilliant as was his military course, it was not more illustrious than his civil career. In his person, and in his history, we road the victory of principles, the fruits of which arc ulready visible, ana the influence of which can tend only to the perpetuation of our free institutions. This is not the time nor the occasion to advert more than thus briefly to this topic. The grave has closed upon him; his history is thut of the past. Let us view him in that capacity in which lie won the favor and the love of all. A striking ornament of his character was thai romantic and unfailing bravery, which, in every emergency, his conduct exhibited?realizing the description of the poet's hero in the moment of excitement and of danger, and seeming as "011c w ho hail never heard the name of death." Many of us arc old enough to remember the story of his splendid achievement at Orleans. Then, did every heart bound with joy?did every window blaze with illumination! It came upon us in a moment of gloom?of despondency. It is true thatoui gullant tars had borne the national banner triumph anl upon every wave. It is true mat our time army had covered itself with the laurels of repeated victories; but the soil of this capital hail been polluted beneath the heels of hirelings, and the fires of the conflagration of our city were hardly extinguished, when we learned the joyous news that the victors of Washington were the vanquished of Orleans. Well then did Jackson seem to us to deserve that magnificence of eulogium?the intrinsic desert or valur of which was so euhunced by the source from which it came?falling, as it did, from the lips of the penman of the charter of independence?that "he had filled the measure of hit country's glory." Bravely did he interpose between his beloved country and the war-dogs of European carnage. Insolently did the invader promise to his hosts '"beauty and booty," the plunder of the city, the sacrilici to ruffians of mothers and of daughters. Jackson was their savior. From that moment a grateful people clung to him with a fervent enthusiasm. They pursued him with a love and confidence which were never withdrawn from him. Their faith was implicit in the patriotic honesty of motive by which he was guided. We stand now in imagination upon the turf which covers his mortal remains. His race is run; the patriot, statesman, soldier, is no more. His whole course has been crowned with extraordinary and splendid success. In war, he wns a shield to his countrymen?one of the brightest ornaments of the historic page; in peace he was as energetic, as useful, and as well beloved. As a patriot, c his spirit was enlarged; his views, seemingly too ' bold to be practical, were ever, in result, unfailing; J his heart, in its every pulsation, was thoroughly, entirely, American. Pursuing the instincts of nn elevnted nature, he trod unerringly the lofty pathway to true glory. His fame is without blot?his escutcheon without " slain?liia hands were ever Clean ui seuuruvc lucre. It becomes ua, then, to lenve those matters upon which the men of this day differ, to the conclusive verdict of the future; and to unite all of every sect and opinion, to do justice to the genius of a great man? to the public services of a faithful patriot.
