IVttiway exclaimed that he was shot. Pettiway

which bore many of the characteristics of a wi

one thnt she had killed IVttiway. Sue replied
that be hud done worse to her. She said ihat
she wns n poor, defenceless Woman) who had
been brought nearly to the gravp by him, had
j been wronged beyond endnrsnre nnd aliandnn

w hy she did this strange thing, she replied, 'e

shaken Btitl trt'flitilntis, 'This is a fearful trage.

I wards she Seemed to be oppressed, and asked

were too grievous to be borne, and incapable of

. 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 can narrate the terrible events of the
double battles of H.nnekfn iv, or the glorious vic
tory of Tohopekn, wheru the atiget of the gene
ral against the fullering was more nppaliing
(ban the wnr-whoop and the rifle of the saVaget
Who can rightly Conceive the field of Mnoto
ehopen, wheie the general as he attempted to
draw his sword to cut down a flying colonel who
was leading a regiment from the field, broke
again the arm which was newly knit together,
and, quietly r placing it in the rling, With his
commanding voice arrested the flight of the
troops, and himself led them back to victory !
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.
These were great deeds for the nation :' for
himself he did a greater. IM not Jackson boon

The unity of his mind and his consistency
were without a parallel. With natural dialer

To this end, Jackson revived the tribunicial
power of the veto, and exerted it againsl the- de
