GEN. JACKSON.
Extracts from a Sermon delivered in i'hiladelp►la,
by the Rev. Geo. W. ilvriturr e, on Sunday, the fhb
of July.
While I thus spenh, the spell of a great name comes
upon our hearts, compelling us to utter their thoughts
and emotions. When the sun of that morning rose, it
gilded' he fresh tomb of one whose ear, for the first
hats vince the 4th of July, 1776. failed to vibrate with
the ibunderings of his country's birth day joy; and a
voice, for the first time, answered not its cheers; irhieh,
since its boyish shout was heard through the revolu
tionary strife, had never been warning in the annual
conclamation. The iron will, whose upright strength
never quivered amidst the lightning storms that crash
ed around it in battle or contmversy; the adamantine
judgment, against which adverse opinions dashed
themselves to break into scattered foam; t he far-reach
ing faitb, that flushed light upon dangers hidden from
the prudence of all beside; the earnest affection, that
yearned in a child's simplicity, the purpose of a sage,
a parent's tenderness, and the humble fidelity of a
sworn servant, over the people who gave i rule and
elevation. have ceased from among us: Andrew Jack
son is with Goi. He. who confessed no netherity on
earth but the welfare of his country and his own con
victiona of right; who never turned to rest while a du
ty remained to be done, and who never asked the sup
port of any bonnie arm in his hour of utmost difficulty;
bowed his head meekly to the command of the High
est. and walked calmly down into the grave, leaning
uponthe strength of Jeans: paused on the threshold of
immortality to forgive his eremies, to pray for our
liberties, to bless his weeping household, and, leave I
the testimony of his trust in the Gospel of the Gruel&
ed; and then, at the fall of a Sabbath evening, passed
into the rest which is eternal. II is last enemy to be
destroyed was death. Thanks be to G o d who gave
him the victory through our Lord Jesus Chiba.
Toasty that he had fault i; it to say tttat he was hu
mem the errors of a mind so energetic, in a career so
eventful, must have been striding; nor could char
acter be subjected to censure more merciless, than he
provoked by a policy original and unhesitating, at
open war with long established usages, and dogmas
that had grown into unquestioned axiom , : Bereft in
his early youth of parental guidance and restraint,'
educated in the camp and the foreset bivouac, and for
ced to rush his own fortunes through the rough trials
of a border life, we can scarcely wonder that, until
age had schooled his spirit and tempered his blood, he
was impetuous, sensitive to instill, and prone to use the
strong hand. Warm in his attnehtneros, he was slow
to discover frailty in those he loved, of to nceold con
fidence where once he had doubted. Grasping, by
his untutored genius, conclusions which other men
reach by philosophical detail, he made. while tote of
just ends, some mistakes in his method., for the time
disastrous. Called to act at n ciisis, when the good
and evil in our national growth had become vigorous
enough for conflict, and wealth and labor. like
twins of Rebecca, were strug,ling for the right of the
elder born, his decisions in great but sudden emergen
cies, were denounced by that after criticism, which
can look back to condemn. but is blind to lead. Com
pelled to resolve stupenduous, unprecedented goes•
tiones of government and politicial economy, he rous
ed the hostility of opposite schools in those difficult
science*.
Never shrinking from any responsibility, personal
or official, he sternly fulfilled tits interpretations of do.
ty as a co-ordinate branch of the national legislature,
leaving his coutse to the verdict of his constituents;
nor did he hesitate to avail himself of nll the means
he could extract from the letter of the consti
tution, to achieve, what he thought wan, the in
tent of its spitit. His n•ns a stern, prompt, and
energetic survey, and thonh the body politic wt idled
undet the operation, none can tell, though some may
conjecture, the more fatal consequences his severity
averted. If he were wrung, public opinion has since
alopted the chief of the heresies, and there is no
haqd strong enough to lay one stone upon another of
that, which he threw down into ruins. But in all thin, ,
his heart wan with the people. his faith firm in the nut . -
ficiency of free principles and regardless alike of de
nouncing opponents, lie held on throughout to one only
purpose, the p - ermanent good of the whole, unchecked
by particular privileges, and unfettered by artificial re
strictions. To use his own lofty language, "In vain
did lie bear upon his person enduring memorials of
:that contest in which American liberty was purchased
" • • • in vain did he since paril
'property. fame and life, in defence of the rights and
privileges so dearly bought, if any doubts can be en
tertained of the purity of his purposes and motives.
• • • Nor could he have found an in
ducement to commence a career of ambition, when
gray hairs and a decaying frame, instead of inviting to
toil and battle called him to contemplate other worlds
were conquerors cense to be honored, and usurpers ex
piate their crimes."
But, though there are pans,' gee in his life, ?Nutt
which the most honest have held. and may 3 ct hold,
contrary opinions, there are service: of his demanding
the gratitude of all, and virtues all must delight to
honor. Can we fotget that victory, in which his
ready strategy, and conga notate skill turned back, by
the valor of scarcely disciplined men: the superior
numbers and veteran determination of a foreign foe,
from the spoil and dishonor of a rich and populous ter
itory, or the entire success with a hich lie delivered
from the scalping knife and torture of wily and fero
e 'joys s avages, the Florida settlements, an achievement
which in subsequent trials far lets arduous, nn other
leader has been able to imitate? Or the triumph of
simple firmr.ess over diplomatic, procrastinating sub
tleties, when, planting his foot upon what was clearly
fight,in a determination to suffer nothing that was clear
ly wrong, he swung round a mighty European empire
to pay its long withheld indemnity for injuries done to
American commerce?
And in that darkest hour of our country's history,
when a narrow, sectionalism counterfeited the colour
of patriotic zeal. and discord shocked her Gorgon
locks, and m e n shuddered as they enw. yawning wide
in the midst of our confederacy, a gulf, which threat
ed to demand the devotion nfmany a life before it world
close again, how sublimely did he proclaim over the
land that doctrine sacred as the name of Washington,
The Union meat be preserved! and that the storm
died away with impotent mutterings. Nor is his
glory in this the less, that he shared it with another,
and that other, one a hose name the applauses of his
countrymen have taught the mountains and the vul-
ley, to echo down for far generations, as the gallant,
the frank, the brilliant statesman, to whose fame the
highest office could add no decoration, nor disappoint
ment rob of just claims to the people's love. It was n
lofty spectacle, full of rebuke to party jealously and of
instruction to their countrymen, when henry Clay of-
fered the compromise or his darling theory, and An
droaw Jackson endorsed the new bond that made
the Ugion again, and, as we trust, indissolubly
firm.
Remarkable as the contrast is, there were traits in
the temper of the indnmitablevld man, tender, simple,
and touching. NVith what faithful affection he honor
ed her while living, whose dear dust made the hope
of his last resting-place more sweet, that he might
sleep again at her side! And, if his heart seemed
sometimes steeled against the weakness of mercy,
when crime was to he punished, or mutiny controlled,
ordenger annihilated. he could else stoop in his career
of bloody conquest, to take a wailing, now-made or
phan to his pitying bent t; with the same hand, that lied
just struck down invading foes, he steadied the judge
ment-seat shaken with the tremors of him who sat up.
on it, to pronounce sentence against him for low viola
ted in martial necessity; and at the height of authori
ty, the poor man found him a brother and a friend.
But 0. how surpassingly lx•nutiful was his closing
scene, when, as the glories of his earthly honor were
fading in the brightness of his eternal anticipations,
and his head humbly rested upon the bosom of Him
who was crucified for out sins, his latest breath depar
ted in the praises of that religion which had become
his only boast, and in earnest counsel that all who
loved him might obtain the like faith, and meet him
in heaven! There was no doubt in his death; he had
prepared to meet his God, and when his giant heart
fainted, and his iron frame failed, God was the strength
of his heart, and his portion forever. Little would all
his achievements have won for him, had he gained
the whole world yet lost his soul: but now his fame
will survive until time shall be no more, and his spirit
is immortal among the redeemed. The angels bore
him from us, no longer the hero, the statesman, the
guide of millions, and the master mind of his country,
but a sir,ner saved by grace to the feet of the Lamb
that was slain, a little child of God to the bosom of
his Father, My bearers, have you been his friends!
Obey his parting counsel, and by faith in Jesus, follow
him to heaven, whom you have delighted to follow-on
earth. Have you been in opposition to his lift?. Re-
fuse not the profit of idaclenth, but find in that blood,
which cleansed him from ell Lis sins, atonement for
your own. 0 that bds last instimuny had the same
power over men's souls, as bto cheer in battle, and
his proclamations of liolitical doctrine! Theo would
be shine bright among* brightest in the constella
tion of those, Who turn many to righteousness. -

Our right to Oregon.
The Gazette still persists in expressing doubts as to
our right to tPPe whole of Oregon. We can say with
perfect sincerity, that we perused the Gazette's arti
cle of yesterday with sincere regret—it was just such
an article as should never have appeared in the co
lumns of a paper claiming Lobe Americar; and we much
regret to find that such views ore cherished in any
quarter. We cannot believe that it is an error of the
heart, and yet it is truly surprising that the head should
be so far astray upon such an important question.—
We can see but two sides to it—the one is all over
American—the other is emphatically British. We
will leave the render to assign a place to the Gazette,
after reading the extracts we clip from that paper of
yesterday. The Gazette says:
"This is no doubt our neighbor's sincere opinion,
and of course he will act upon it, although it does
Rot appear that he has very carefully weighed the
grounds on which Great Britain founds her claim.
Ours is no doubt a very good title, provided
there is no better Oaf, or one equally as good; but
this it becomes its well to examine before we appeal
to the fearful arbitration of war. We do not say that
ours is not the best title, but we must have better farts
for it, and more accurate. and more definitely stated,
U tan those the Post vouches for."
Now, the fact is the reverse; we elhl "carefully
weigh the grounds on which Great Britain founds her
claim." We noted it carefully, and as we conceive,
the facts presented. proved clearly that our right is
better than that of Great Britain. on the ground of
priority of ikcovery as well as that of occupancy
The Gazette says:
"We design shortly tngn into a somewhat elaborate
examination of the ands on which each nation
founds its respective s, for the benefit of such of
our readers as have not access to documents on this
subject; in which we shall exercise as much fairness
as it is possible for nn American to do. naturally in
fluenced more or less by partialities for the land of his
nativity."
We shall look with much anxiety for the result of
oar neighbors researches. Judging from the tone of
the several articles, which have already appeared in
the Gazette, we think there is no danger of the editors
"partialities for the land of his nativity." influencing
him improperly—he is ton anxious to assail the nation.
al administrntion, to permit even love of country to
induce him to abandon his darling purpose.
We quote again from the Gazettrt
'•This iv o more important question, than, we opine,
most people imagine. It is our settled conviction,
that if this nation persists in claiming all of Oregon,
and refuses to compromise. war with Great Britain
is inevitable. This opinion is founded on the fact,
that the British Government, tip to this moment, ac
cording to all our means of information, has urged
her claims with a firmness and determination, that
shows she fully believes in their validity and justice;
and it is hardly probable that site will now waive
them, unless we can bring some more ccgentreasons
than we hare heretofore done."
We tell the Gazette this Government will presist
I in having all we claim of Oregon—we claim up to the
! 54th degree of north latitude, and fully satisfied that it
justly belongs to this nation, there will be no "compro
mise." The ten itory is outs by every principle of jus
tice, and we will retain it. We cannot believe that
Great Britain will go to war with the United States for
Oregon; but, if she will declare war, so be it. Much
as we would regret en appeal to arms, we will not, for
one, consent to yield Oregon, to avoid it; and we be
lieve this to be the "well matured" sentiment of nine
tenths of the American people. We are called upon
to yield Oregon to England rather titan defend it—
rather than have a war v.•ith that great nation.
NVhnt would be our resent condition, if such councils
had prevailed in 1776—if the fear—ifthedicati (tithe
consequences of a war with England, had influeaced
the revolutionery fathers, we would still be dependant
colonies. We deprecate war, as we said before, as
sincerely as the Gazette editor; but the careful observ
er of passing events, cannot fail to see thatthis grasp.
ing nation, is aiming at universal empire—we find
that power at almost every point of the globe setting
up her claim to territoty, and threatening those dispo
sed to doubt her right, with all the consequences of war.
Her unjust :and bliody war with China cannot soon
be forgotten—her progress in India too was a continu
ed scene of blood and massacre; even now the natives
of the New Zealand Islands are daily put to the
sword without mercy. It is no longer fair to ask
where she claims to exercise her power, hut rather
where she does slot assume to have rights of some
kind or other. We too, ere called upon to yield to
her a large territory; and ate assured that if we per
sist in refusing, "war is inevitable," and we are
con/welled to "compromise," or if you please,
yield Oregon to her, to avoid it. If such coun
cils were confined to the B r itish press and British
orators, it would not excite our surprise, but we find
them thrown out daily by those professing to be Amer
deans, who in doing so take special pains to declare
that their sentiments are not "anti-American,—and
also to express a willingness "to defend our rights to
Oregon." This we con assure them will not do—the
veil is entirely too thin—it but illy conceals their real
views and feelings—and the people, we are confident,
will place a proper value upon all such declarations.
Upon the Oregon question the National Administra
tion has taken nn impregnable position. The Union
of Thursday afternoon says:
".1n any event, ter repeat our abiding confidence
that the administration trill 'assert and maintain
all our rights to the Oregon territory, and that they
icill preserve and uphold the sacred honor of their
country."'
We can safely say, the President will be triumph
ar tly sustained. The people are with him on the O
regon question—"few and far between" are the voices
ibat are not in perfect unison with his—and if it should
become necessary to defend the rights of the nation.
it will be .lone with the greatest cheerfulness.
WORTHREMEMBERING.—Newton said, "Endeavor
to be the first in your trade or profession, whatever it
may be." And this, by the way, is the secret of success
and excellence. It matters comparatively little what
that trade, or occupation, or profession may be, pro
vidcd it is useful.

LOVELINESS IN WoMAN.--It is not the smile of a
pretty face, nor the beauty end the symmetry of thy
person, nor yet the costly decorations that compose thy
artificial beauty. No! nor the enchanting glances
which thou bestowe ttt. with such lustre on the man thou
deignest worthy of thine affection. It is thy pleasing
deportment—thy chaste conversation. thy sensibility,
end the purity of thy thoughts—thy affable and open
disposition—sympathising with those in adversity—
comforting the afflicted,—relieving the distressed—
and, above all, that humility of soul, that unfeigned
and perfect regard for the precepts of Christianity.—
These virtues constitute thy loveliness. Adorned
with but those of nature and simplicity, they will shine
like the refulgent sun; and display that the loveliness
of thy person is not to be found in the tinsel ornaments
of thy body, but in the reflections of the rectitude and
the scrutiny of a well spent life, that sours above the
transient vanities of the wor'd.
A DOG ' d TAIL —There is a great deal of philos,
phy in a dog's tail. It is as great a tell-tail as a lady's
face. Ifs dog is pleased, his tail is immediately in a
wag-ish humor-111m is afraid, it slopes—if angry, it
"sticks out." You can tell the character and disposi

POMPEll.—Letters from Naples mention some re
cent discoveries of interest made in late excavations at
Pompeii, particularly an extensive Necropolis. Be
sides one of the graves there is a seat, and over it is
inscribed Cievalitts, Dunmir and Tribune of Pompeii.
This is a family name hitherto unknown. Near it is
a monument of fine Grecian marble, richly sculptured.
The ground where these discoveries have been made
is the property of Signor Verlucci, who pays so little
regnrd to antiquities, that as soon as he hears of a
grave being explored, he orders it to be filled up with
earth or rubbish.

age in a young man, and some traits ofyouthful charac
ter in an old man.

preach from any subject, furnished from the Bible.—
After going through the preliminary exercises, one
morning. a pariahoner handed him this text. "{A here

Psi - fin - tn.—TieNatives of St... Louis are “Joss

To the Electors in 241Vard,
BY THE BARD OF THE WK'BT.
Natives, our case is running Tow,
When to elect an Alderman it won't go.
Gentlemen, I see our cause is at a stand,
And for the Convention we won't elect a man;
Although our cause is just and right,
Yet it is no use for us to thew fight;
For both parties put their shoulders to the wheel,
And to theit strength we are forced to yield.
Therefore, Americana who wish their country lost,
Let them all unite with a foreign host.
I am surprised to see Americans turn to fools,
And wish the foreigners to rule.
Americans, no better cause can you pursue,
It to your creed you would all be true
But in our country there are many trick s,--
Paul says, it. is no use to kick against the pricks;"
And if we our cause will still pursue,
%Ye willfind Paul's words to be true.
