Vol. 5Xo. 42 Whole No. ilSO. . Oration on the Death of Jackson. The following are extracts from the oration of Mr. Bancroft, at Washington, on the death of f ten. Jackson : His vigor of chnracter constituted him first a tnnng nil with whom he npoeiuted. A private man ns he was, his name wasfamil'itrly oken round every lienrth-stone in Tennessee. Men Inved totliscuss his qualities. All discerned his power ; and when the Vehemence nnd impetu osity of his nature were observed upon, there were not wanting those who saw, beneath the binning fires of his genius, the solidity of his judgment. His hospitable roof sheltered theemlgrantnnd Ihe pioneer; and, it, they made the i r way to their new homes, they filled the mountain 6ides anil Ihe Valleys with his praise. Connecting himself, for a season, With a tnnn of business, Jackson soon discovered the miscon duct of his associate. It marked his chnrncter, that he insisted, himself, oh paying himself eve ry obligation thnt hnd been contracted and, ra ther than endure the vassalage of debt, he in stantly parted with the rich domain which his early enterprise hnd acquired with his own mtnsion with Ihe fields which he himself had first tamed to the ploughshare-w ith the forest whose tiees were ns familiar to him OS his triends and chose rather to dwell, for a time, in a rude log-cnbin, in the pride of independence and integrity. When the continuance of wrong compelled the nation to resort ts arms, Jackson, led by the instinctive know ledge of his own greatness, yet with a modesty that would have honored the most sensitive delicacy of nature, confessed his willingness to be employed on the Catiada fron tier ; and yet il is n fact, that he aspired to the command to which Winchester was appointed. We may nsk, what would have been the result, if the command of the northwestern army had, nl (I.e. opening of the wnr, been entrusted to a man n ho, in action, wng ever so fortunate, that his vehement will seemed to have made desti ny cnpilulato In his designs !

Who shall recount the Counsels of prudence, the kindling words of eloquence, that gushed from his lips to Cheer his soldiers, his skirmish es nnd bailies, till that evcnlul morning when the day at lbmkers's Dill had its fulfilment in the glnrintis battle at New Orleans, and Amer ican independence siood before Ihe world m the majesty of victorious power.

He Would have remained quietly at his homo, in repose, but that he was privately informed, his good name wns to beoitained by some in tended congressional proceedings; he enni'-, therefore, into the presence (r the people's re prrsentntives at Washington, only to vindicate his name ; and, when that was achieved, he wns once more communing Willi his own thoughts' among the groVes of the Hermitage. The unity of his mind and his consistency were without a parallel. With natural dialer tics, he developed the political doctrines thnt suited every emergency, with a precision and a harmony that no theorist Could hope to equal. On every subject in politics t speak but a fact he Wns thoroughly nnd profoundly and immo vably radical ; and Would sit for hours, hnd in a continued flow of remark make the application of bis principles to every question that could a- rise in legislation, or in the interpretation A the constitution. The laborers may bend over his gr9ve With aflectionate sorrow ; for never, in the fide of time, did n statesman exist more heartily resol ved to protect them in their rights; nnd to ad vnnce their happiness.

The true American system presupposes the dif fusion of freedom organized life in all the part? of the American IkwIv politic, as there isorjnr iied life in every part ef the hum-in system Jackson was deaf to every counsel which sough;, to subject general labor fo central will. Hi- vindication of the just principles of the constitu tion derived its sublimity from his deep convic tion that tlris strifl construction id rrqirred 1'V the lasting welfare of the great laboring clnsscai of the tV.ited Slates. To this end, Jackson revived the tribunicial power of the veto, and exerted it againsl the- de cisive action of both branches of Congress, a gainst the vot.os, the wishes, the entreaties of personal and political friends. "Show me," Wan his reply to them, "show me an express clause in the constitution authorizing Congress to take the busiiicos of State legislatures out of their hinds." "You will ruin us all," cried a firm partisan friend, "you will ruin your par'.y and yotirown prospects." "Providence,' answer ed Jackson, "will take care of mc! ;" and he? persevered. From his home in Tennessee, Jackson cutin to the Presidency resolved to lift American le gislation out of the forms of English legislation! and to place our laws on thecurrency in harmo' ny w ith the principles of our government.
