previous to and after the general election of '40.
The spring elections in that year wore sufficiently
favorable. To all appearance the democracy
wore never stronger. The re-election of Martin
Van Buren to the Presidential chair, which he
had so worthily occupied, seemed certain. And
yet not many weeks had passed before it was ev
ident that the supremacy of our party and our
principles was in danger. A union of the whigs,
jis it was called, lorthe sake ol the umou, brought
about that mingling of parlies and commingling
of interests, which insulted in a combined league

hi speaking of Andrew Jackson I began. In
speaking of Audrew Jackson I will end. He is
the son of noor Irish parents, who driven from
their native country by oppression, sought a ref

his emigration, leaving three sons (of whom the
infant, Andrew, was the youngest) to the care of j
a widowed mother. Her circumstances were
straightened, but she kept her little household
together. She lived for her children, ana is now

The marriage of the queen of Spain with a

The Central Committee of the South Caroli
na Democracy has issued an address, in which
they say that South Carolina should send no del

They also say that South Carolina should remain
uncommitted as to who shall receive her vote.
shire, Preston, of South Carolina, Webster, Clay,
and even Harrison himself, took the field. No
thing was left undone. On our part, we were
not idle. We saw through and despised this
contemptible stage trickery, this attempt to
swindle the people out of their votes, and did
not believe that it could succeed. In so believ
ing we erred, as the result proved. The lclos of
November arrived; the battle was fought; we
were beaten, and forced to retire from the field;
and retire we did, in good order discomfited,
but not dismayed, although our strongest de
fences were a prey to the spoiler although in
the violence of that political hurricance, Tennes

cumbed beneath the shock. Our own brave State
the Empire State had parted from her dem
ocratic moorings though the key stone of the
arch had given way, and the "'star in the eastT' I

out of the twenty-six had declared against us,
nd our candidate had been defeated by more
than 110,000 votes though the sun of our po
litical heaven was shrouded from our longing
view through darkness, disaster, and desolation,
wo hoped, and toiled, and struggled on. (Great
applause.) To any other party a defeat like that
which we then suffered; would have been de
struction annihilation. But to us it was not so
Ii could not bo so, and why ? Why ? Why is
it that the democracy can be beaten but never
subdued; vanquished but never conquered? Be
cause of that which is within us; because we
strive for the true, and aim at the equal and the
just. The very truths for which wo contend, af
ford us a rallying point and a support in the hour
of adversity. (Cheers.) In the canvass of '40,
the whigs systematically endeavored to blind the
people to the true questions at issue. Letters
were written to General Harrison enquiring his
views upon disputed questions of moment, and
the line of policy which he would adopt if elect
ed. The answer was, "Ask my committee."
Success attained by fraud is in its very nature
temporary. The whigs triumphed by fraud.
They triumphed on such issues as these; coon
skins, hard cider, log cabins, William Henry Har
rison, two dollars a day and roast, or Martin Van
Buren, six and a quarter cents a day and sheep's
" pluck. They triumphed; but their triumph was
abort lived and bitter. Firm, united, undismay
ed, standing on the immutable basis of their own
principles, the UDterrified democracy rallied.
jn me elections of the following spring and sum
mer, we recovered our foothold throughout the
country. The granito column of the young de
mocracy charged upon the enemy, and they went
down before it. I rcmendous applause. Since
then wo have maintained our position. Why,
then, should any man doubt our success in this
coming conflict. Let us be organized, vigilant,
determined. Let us fight the battle inch by inch.
We must resume tho offensive. Wc must carry
the war into Africa. We must be true to our
selves, our candidate, and our cause. We must
do our duty, our whole duty, and nothing butour
; duty. We must deserve success, and leave the
event to Him who made us. If I read rightly
. the signs of the times, and do not greatly misun
derstand the temper of the democracy, on the
fourth Monday of May next, there will be a thor
ough organization, an earnest purpose, and deep
seated enthusiasm throughout tho length and
breadth of the land. That organization, earnest
ness, and enthusiasm will be centered on the
nominee of the Baltimore convention, whoever
he may be. Hero upon the anniversary of the
, birth day of New Orleans, intent upon the pres
ervation of our principles, and merging our pref
erence for men, we pledge lotlie nominee of that
convention an honest, earnest end whole souled
support. Great cheers. Now, nine cheers for
tho nominee of the Baltimore convention. Nine

the Revolution broke out, and those poor Irish
boys joined the American party, Andrew being
onlv 14 vears old. The elder brother died in
arms, fighting against the British, at the battle of
Stono. The second was taken prisoner, treRted
as a rebel, thrown into a dungeon uncared for,
and with his wounds undressed. This brought
on an inflamation of the brain. An exchange of
prisoners took place, and went home to die. 1 his
broke the mother's heart, and the grave closed
on her, as it had done on her murdered boy. At
fifteen, Andrew Jackson was alone in the world.
In the emphatic language of the Indian chieftain,
not a drop of his blood ran in the veins of any liv
ing creature. There is not time to follow, step
by step, his energetic onward career. Poor un
friended, solitary, uneducated, despite all obsta
cles, he worked his upward way. Oh, how mys
terious arc the ways of Providence! Had there
been no Andrew Jackson, there would have been
no New Orleans. And the cruelties and wrongs
inflicted by the British Government upon that
poor, exiled family, ultimately cost England the
saddest field that she has seen since Bannock
burn, end were expiatcd on the batiks of the Mis
sissippi in the blood of five thousand of her bra
vest. (Tremendous cheering, ana stentorian
shouts of "Old Hickory forever!") I am not a
bout to enlarge upon the battle of New Orleans.
Its history is familiar to you all There are very
few here who have not heard its story told elo
quently and well by Major Davezac. (Cheers.)
He was an eye witness and participator in the
action. It would be presumptuous and unbecom
ing in mo to trespass on ground so peculiarly his
own. Pass we then on in this rapid review, ex
ulting as we go that our democratic members in
Congress have procured Ihe passage of a law re
imbursing to General Jackson the fino so unjust
ly imposed upon him by Judge Hall. 1 no act
has been carried into eticct, and thus tho country
has restored to tho hero's laurelled brow the only
leaf that was ever plucked from it. (Loud ap
plause.) There are many here who well remem
ber how Andrew Jackson has been assailed

the air with clamor, but they howled, and howled
in vain around that old hickory tree that struck
its roots so firmly and so well into tho generous
soil of democracy. (Cheers.) 1 hen was the

ELECTION'S.
CONNECTICUT.
Four columns of the Globe of the 6th inst. sre
occupied with returns and letters from Connec- .
ticut, from which it appears that there have been
about 61,000 votes polled, which exceed the
votes given at any other election by 4,900. The
whig candidate for governor leads tho democrat
ic candidate 1,058 votes; but he lacks 80Q of an
election, owing to the scattering votes, which are
chiefly for an abolition candidate.
The whigs, it appears, have a majority of sev
en in the Senate; and tho democrats have a ma
jority ot three in the houso over the whigs and
abolitionists combined. The democrats obtain
ed majorities in 78 towns, and the wh:g3 majori--
ties in only 60. The democrats would have had
a decided majority in tho House, if they had vo
ted "tho whole ticket, and nothing but tho ticket."
The New Haven Register of the 4th inst says:
Now that the smoke has cleared off, it appears
that the democratic vole has greatly increased
from last year; that we have gained nearly as
many towns as we have lost; that tho whigs have
elected only about fifteen representatives moro
than (hey had last year, when the democrats had
about thirty majority; that nearly every town has
increased its democratic vote? and the whigs told
the house not by their gains, but by the failure
of democratic towns to elect representatives! -Seventy-eight
towns have given Cleveland a ma
jority over Baldwin; sixty towns a majority for
Bald win over Cleveland, and three a tie. In ev
ery town giving Baldwin a majority, the whigs
have elected (in several instances by abolition
help) their representatives; while in twenty-two
towns giving aemocrauc majorities, una eniuieu
tothirty-four representatives, no choice has been
made! Thus it will be seen, that the State is yet
thoroughly democratic; and that if one-half only
of ihesa failing towns had gone unitedly to the
polls, the House would have been democratic!
and we should have saved the State! It may not
be yet too late though we cannot tell which or
how many of them adjourned sine die.
More than tweiiy whig representarives are c
leclcdby less than one hundred votes ! and their
majority in the Senate hangs upon as slight a
thread! What, then, have the federalists gained?
Nothing. There has been no change in public
sentiment in Connecticut. Our apparent defeat
is owing entirely to the importation of voters
from out the State; and it is a similar fact that
the greatest increase of wh'g strength is in towns
where the whigs have the boards! as in New Ha
ven, Hartford Norwich, Bridgeport, Stamford, &c.
We have no doubt that at least 1,500 fictitious
votes were admitted by the federalists and we
arc equally certain that we can carry Connecti
cut against Henry Clay, if we can keep off pipe
layers from other States.
The Hartford Times of Monday evening slates
that the Democrats elected two representatives
in Middletown and one in Cclunibiana that day.
