DALLAS, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATER, Ai the Funeral Solemnities at Phifadelphia, in honor of Andrew Jachson. Fellow Citizen and Friends: The sor rows ol a nation, on the Joss of a great and good man, are alike confirmed and assuoged by recurring to thp virtues and servicts which endeared him.— VVtiile (uiisrul siilemuiiies, such as are now in pro* gress, attest the pervading regrets of communities, and swelling tears betray the anguish of individual friendship; while ihe muffled drum, the shrouded ensign, and the silent march of mingled processions of citizens and soldiery address their impressive force to the hearts of all, it is well to seek solace in romembrances which must brighten forever the an nals of our country, and which add one more to the list of names whose mere utterance exalts the pride, and strengthens the foundations of patriotism. At the epoch when, in September, 1774, the dele gates of eleven Colonies assembled at our Carpen ter’s Hall, before the first gun was fired at Lexing ton in the caust^ of VVpctorn J.ibor»jr, ui ^Vasning- ton was yet hailed as “ General and Commander in Chief,” there could be seen in the n ildsof the Wax haw settlement in South Carolina, on a farm in dangerous proximity to Indian tribes, and clustering with two elder broiliers around a widowed .iiother. a boy about eight years of age, in whose veins coura ed the same gallant blood that shortly after gush(d from the wounds of Montgomery into the trenches of Quebec: that boy—moulded into the spirit of those stern limes, clinging with his whole soul to the American people, ripem d into athletic manhood, enfeebled by toil, by disease, and by age—is just now dead; and you have invited me to pronnun>:e over his yet loose grave the tribute of your afiectio- nate gratitude and veneraiion; to soothe you by re* minding you of the attributes and exploits of one who lived through all your heroic history and was hiiusclf an iuseparablt part of it—who was born on your soil, whtn, in fact, it was a mere margin of Ea.iPrn coast, and has sunk into it when a continent who knew vvhen but tw'o millions of scattered, weak, dependent and disquieted provincialists. and yet saw you. ere he ceased to konw you. an immense, uni ted, powerful and peaceful nation I It is impossible on the present occasion, and with short notice, to do justice to a task so protracted, complicated and enno bling; but there are incidents and sentiments con ucrtt’d wiiu the charactcr ana carcGT of AJIdrevt Jackson, wiih which his countrymen unanimously • t (Uo Charlotte I'CliicUc Acadcmv. 1 and which his public opsiquies se.m ' fas appropriately as irresistible to cah into exprts* \ MONDAY, tl.e 2Sih instanf. will be eold at »^ ^ . ■pubhc ...Ic, (at the Acaden.y.) the The sinp.mg orplian, wlj^ile mounuog over Ih, * ^ ® kindred, smarllug under wounds and impti HOI SEHOI.D A KIT- I sonment, and hourly witnessing eornc new crue ly commiitcd upon friends and neighbors, imbib«d, dur i EX Fi Ri^rri JK-Je?^ I storm of our revolution, a deep, uncom ^ . . r promising, almost fierce, love of country, that never la uiC p.v iK- - caticrii}, consu o* | sway over his actions. It became to him an impulse as instinctive and irrepressible as breathing, ai d cannot but be regarded by those who trace hu^ evenilul existence qs the master passion of his nature. He passed through the war of 1776, in all but that. too youthful for his trials;—nor was there ever a monunt in his after being when this devotion can be sail to liave waned or slumbered in his breast.— Such a trait, so pure, so ardent, so unvarying—as fresh three weeks ago as seventy years before—a» prompt and eager amid the frosts of age, as when in the spring of l:fo it first kindled ai the voice ot VV^ashingion—invokes, now that the door of his sepulchre is closed, undissembled and undisscntin^ praise. It is this quality of moral excellence which forms the basis of his fame, as it was the stimulant of every achievement. From his fight under Davu- with Bryan’s regimen*, of Tories, in 1780, when scarcely thirteen ye.irs of age, down to the close of his remarkable campaign in Florida, when fifty ivvo, and thenceforward through all iiis diplomatic conflicts with foreign powers, it shone with steady intensity keenly alive to their bearing, had retired-fiom pub lie activity, and w’as engaged in the calm pursuits of agricultural life. That signal sounded with wel* come, in his seclusion, and summoned him to a deathless renown. Ii came to bis quirk ear like a longwished for permit to avenge the wrongs and re establish the sullied name of those for whom he was ever ready to sacrifice, without stint, his repose, his fortune, and hi>* blood. The war cry of his country scaicely vibrated on the breeze ere he echo ed It back as h tntisic With which every chord of his soul was in unison In less tha*n a week, Knv ng his plough in its yet opening furrow, and his ripe harvest drooping for the sickle, he stood equip ped and eager, lo front of two thousand five hund red volunteers, awaiting orders from the Cheif Ex ecutive I I must not, 1 dare not, quit the singleness of my subject, to indulge in reminiscences but partially connected with it, however alluring.

Most ot tnese have gone to graven over which are blooming m unfading verdure, ih» laurels our gratitude planted:—none of them can present to posterity a title lo immortal honor more incontestable, and form apart, from every other con sideration, an overwhelming claim to the veneration and gratitude we are now displaying. To me per- sonally, as you all know, it would be alike consis tent and natural to go much farther; but, entertain ing a real deference for the sentiments of others, I should be unable to pardon myself if, on an occasion iO peculiarly solemn, a single word fell from my lips which did not chime with the tone of every bo som present.

The sagacity of Gen Jackson was the admiration of the sophist, and ihi wonder of the savage; il unravelled the meshes of both, wiihout the slightest seeming i fforl. Piercing' ihiough cnry subtlety or slraiagrm. ii attained the iruth with electrical lapidiiv. It d» itcied at a glance, ihe toils ol an adversary, and dis cerned the mode by which those toils could best be bafiled. His courage was equally finished and faultless—quick, but cool, easily arou'cd, but never boisterous; conctniialed, enduring, and manly. No enemy could intimidate, no danj^ers fngh: him; no surprise shook his presence of mind, as no emer gency transcended his sell control. The red braves of the wilderness conlessed that in these, their high esl virtues. General Jackson equalled the most celf^ braled of iheir Cheifs Invoked to the rescue, he rushed from a bed of sufiering and debility, among ihe terrified fugitives, addressing them with brief but animating exhortaiion:—“Your frontier is threat ened with invasion by the savage foe. Alfeady are they marching to your borders with their scalping- knivea unsheathed lo butcher your women and children. Time is not to be lost. We must hasten to the frodtier, or we shall find it drenched with the blood of our citizens. The health ot your General is restored; he will command m person.” It was in the progress of this expedition, in re ly were his qualities adapted to their on^pjete It w'as nearly all covered, with the ex- of aeon, 1 h-J n" I JeTfon of the d.elhns c'ludfly, hi5 publi^^ rharacler—let us for an instant see him, on one or iwo points, at least, in the other ijepect, and perhaps we may thence catch the secret of his sublime and beautiful death. The rugged exterior which rough wars in our early western settle menls would naturally imparl, was en^oothtd and polished in him by a spirit of benevolence deeply seated in his temperament.

Shall I abruptly recall the battle of New Orleans? Recall ciid I say? Is it ever absent from the me mory of an American? Mingled indissolubly with ihe thought of country, it spiings to mind as Ther- mopal:r or Marathon, w’hen Greece is named. Hi who gave that battle, with all its splendid prelum naries and results, lo our chronicles of national va lor, may cease lo be mortal, but can never cease lo be renowned. He may have a grave, but, like the Father of his Country, he can want no monument but posterity The judgment of the world has been irreversibly fices of savage cne.nies, whom he was dTslined“sig. passed upon that extraordinary « o > republican soldier. Analyzed in all its plans, its patrimony melted away, before he could check the reckless and prodigal habits to which he had been trained by eight years of wild and desperate strife There was no one lo conusel or lo guide him; no one to inculcate lessons of prudence; no one to re claim him for the paths of useful industry and of restored tranquility. But Jackson wanted no one. At this, perhaps, the most critical period of his life, the ‘‘iron will,” subsequently attributed to his treat' meul of others, was nobly exercised in governing himself. Energetically entering upon ihe study of the hw, the native force ot his intellect enabled him, soon after attaining his majority, not merely to preserve his personal independence, bui to carve his way to recognized distinction. Tfie sphere of his professional praciice, the Western District of North Carolina, now the Stale of Tennessee, exacted la bors, and teemed with dangers, such only as a resolu lion like his could encounter and surmount. In' ftsled wiih enraged Cherokees and Choctaws, its wilderness of two hundred miles, crossed and re- crossed by the undaunted public soUcitor more than twenty limes, inured him to fatigue, lo the sense of life constantly in peril, and to the attacks and arti April 11 Strayed, FROM the subscriber, on the 6lh inst., living five miles from Charlotte, on iho Mason’s Ferry road, a brown HORSE, jl'ne or ten years old, three white feet, blaze in his short tail.

It cannot be neces^ sary to pursue these details further—no doubt it wil* be recollected that, after aiding lo form a Constitu lion for the slate he has illustrated, Gen. Jackson at the age of thirty, became her first and only repre senlative in Congress; was almosl immediately trans ferred, in November, 1797, lo the Senate of the United States, and, unwilling to prolong his legisla_ live service, became a Judge of Supreme Court of I’enressoe. In all these elevated stations and es pecially in the la?l, his sagacious mind, directed by moiives at once pure and lofty, and sustained byja spirit of unconquerable firmness, has left monu ments of practical wisdom and usefnlness, in main taining ihe rights, and ameliorating the condition of his connlrymen, which lime cannot eflTace. When ihe prolonged aggressions of Great Britain upon the maritime rights, commerce, and ® America, prompted, in 18Ii2, a declaration ot hos* lililles^. oar Hero, though‘'watchful of eyenls ana means, its motives, and its execuliou—the genius ihai conceived, the patriotism that impelled, the boldness that never backed, nor paused, nor counted; ihe skill which tripled every resource, the aclivi ty that was every where, the end that accomplished every thing. It vvas a master piece of work, which Ceajsar, William Tell, Napoleon, and Washmgion could unite in applauding. Even the vanquished, soothed by the magnanimity of their victor, have since laid ihe tribute of their admiration at his feel For that ballle, in itself and alone, as now passed into the imperishable records of history, an exhausl- less fund of moral property, our descendants in dis tant ages will teach their children as ihey imbibe heroism from illustration and examp»e, to murmur their blessings! - u u I have dwelt, fellow-citizcns, with perhaps unne cessary length, upon the martial merits of the de- ceesed.

The panic among the merchants on William, Pearl and lower pari of Exchange streets, on the east side of the conflagration, was equally great, and we suppose that one hundred stores were emptied of their goons, at prodigious expense and loss, which were not reached by the fire. Vast amounts of valuable goods were iost by being deluged with water. ^ , j ? Additional Particvlars—1 o clock. The fire is now completely subdued.

But there was a crowing characteristic, from ad verting to which I must not shrink, though in the presence in which I stand. General Jackson was fervently, unaflJecledly and submissively pious! Wherever he might be, and whatever his absorbing pursuit—wading heavily through the swamps of Florida, on the track of Hiilishago; speeding, with the swoop of an eagle, to grapple the invader, Pack enham; careering, at the head of his victorious le gions, ihrough throngs of admiring countrymen; in i the halls of ihe Executive mansion; or at his hearth j in the Hermitage ; there and then, every where and j always, though not ostenldtious, and never obtrusive, j his faiih was with him. But it was most closely i and conspicuously with him as dissolution approach | ecl_u is with him to brighten the rays of his mind, lo cheer the throbs of his heart, to lake the siing from his latest pang, and to give melody lo his last farewell! The dying hour of Jackson bears tri umphant testimony to the Christian hope. ^ Such W’as the Hero; I Such was the Man we mourn!
