Interesting Incident.—Every thing that relates to
ANDRILW J 'Aesop., the Hero of New Orleans, awl the
friend of his country, is of deep interest to the Ameri
can people. And although the incident we are about
to relate is, in itself of no great interest, it becomes
sio to us in consequence of those connected with it.
At the Nashville Convention of August last, we vie'
iced the Hermitage (only 12 miles distant) in compa
ny with Judge Douglass 6/1 this State, and some other
of our fellow-citizens. The Hermitage was crowded
with people from almost every State, who had been
invited thither by the venerable patriot on the day suc
ceeding the Convention.
Gov Clay, of Alabama, was near Gen Jackson,
who was himself sitting on the sofa in the hall of his
residence; and as each person entered, G
ay l h is
him to the Hero, and he passed alg.—
When Judge Douglass was thus introduced, General
Jackson raised his brilliant eves, and gazed for a
moment in thecountenance of the Judge, still retain
ing his hand; "Ate you the Mr Douglass of Illinois,
whodeliveted a speech last session the subject of
the fine imposed on me for declaring on
martial luw at
New Orleans?" asked Gen J scasora.
"I have delivered a speeei in the House of Repre
sentatives upon that subject," was the modest reply
of our friend.
"Then stop!" said Gen. Jackson. "Sit down here,
beside me! I desire to return to you my thanks for
that speech. You are the first man that has ever re
lievd my mind on a subject which has rested upon it for
thirty years My enemies have always charged me
with violating the constitution of my country, by de
claring martial law at New Orleans; and my friends
have always admitted the violation; butt have contend
ed that circumstances justified me in that violation.
I never could understand how it was that the perform

pronounced a violation of the constitution. I felt con
vinced in my own mind, that I was not guilty of such a
"heinous offence;but I could never make out a legal juts
tification of my cours.; nor has it ever been done, sir,
until you, on the flour of Congress, at the last session,
established it beyond the possibility of cavil or doubt.
I thank you, sir, for that speech. It has relieved my
mind from the only circumstance that rested painfully
upon it. Throughout my whole life, I never perform
ed an official act which I viewed as a violation of the
constitution of my count...v; and I can now go down
40 the grave in peace, with the perfect ronsriousne•ts
-that I have not broken, ut any period of my life, the
constitution or laws of my country."
Thus spoke the old Hero, his countenance brighten
-ea by emotions which it is impossible for us to describe.
We turned to look at Douglass. He was speechless.
He could not reply; but convulsively shaking the aged
veteran's hand, he lose and left the room. Certainly,

THE AUGUST INTERILST.—The desire of the people

will be crowned with suceess. IVe are informed 13)

ly half the sum required from this county, and if they
can procure the balance by collections, they will pay
the whole.
If, however, they can not raise the whole amount,
we understand it is their intention to pay out of the
Treasury as much as they can raise, and assist the
state to the utmost of their ability. Every one who
delights intim honor and prosperity of our old Com;

Commissioners are doing all they can in this important
matter,but will second their efforts as far as they pos

would be advantageous to the commonwealth.
The second part of the 42nd section of the act of

of each county, inoorporated city, district and borough,

subject, and in order that I may know which compa
nies neglect their duty in this respect. I request the
Deputy Attorney General in each county, to furnish
me a list of all corporations in his county, whether in
corporated by special acts of assembly or by the courts
under general laws, stating the amount of capital
stock in each, and mentioning. as the fact may be.
that the company declares a dividend or does not.
The tax on collateral inheritances, has been imper
fectly enforced in several counties. The duty of the
Register of the county is clearly defined in the act of
the 22d March, 1841. and the 12th section of the act
of the 17th March, 1842. The requirements of these
laws ought to be strictly observed. Ithave beenesked
on several occasions, whether any per ventage can be
allowed to an informer. The law allows none. The
duties enjoined on .Executors, and Administrators, and
Registers, and (in case the Register neglects to give
the bond required) the county Treasurers, were sup
posed to be sufficient to induce a compliance with the
acts of ~Assembly in relation to this subject.
The performance of the duties I have herein referr
ed to, as well as all others in connexion with the reve
nue, is highly important to the prosperity and honor of
the Commonwealth, and is therefore the interest, as
well as duty, of every citizen to observe, but especially
of officers with whom the law entrusts their enforce
ment.
Ate time when measures are being taken to main
tain our public engagements, it is not only necessary
that the payment of direct taxes be promptly made,
but that the incidental and subordinate taxes of all
kinds shall be rigidly enforced. Thus the government
will act justly with her citizens, and its burdens will be
borne cheerfully, because equally by them, for equality
is justice. JAMES R. SNOWDEN,
Stale Treasurer

suggestion.
AN OLD FL•O.-A splendid flag was exhibited on

we are told, will be gent, to the full extent authorized

be of q uarters, when a sufficient number of dimes ami

The editor of the Herald, need not appeal to the
magnanimity of the citizens and councils of Pittsburgh
—nor to the majesty of the written law for justice and
redress; but he should appeal to the mercy of the "Mo
nongahela Bridge company! "
The bridge was built when there was comparatively
but little trade on the river earned on by the Steam
Boats, and the loss and inconvenience sustained by an
increase of that description of craft has been submit
ted to, because the bridge was built before it was ne
cessary to pass and repass it by steam boats. The',
bridge got into port and had secured her moorings
kst. But the bridge has left port, and she has lost
her precedence! And if it is to be reconstructed, it is
manifestly required bylaw; by the interests of the city
of Pittsburgh as well as by those of the people of the
country above and below us. that it shall be placed so
much above its former level as to prevent those inter
ruptions to the navigation which have been a serious
grievance, and a hich have become a subject of alarm
and discussion to the people who surround us. Let
us petition and supplicate the Bridge company, not
again "to injure, stop, or obstruct the navigation of
the river!" COMMERCE.
