The celebration at Lincoln Hall, on Fri
day evening, of Andrew Jackson's victory
over the British at New Orleans, January 8,
1815. was the largest and meet harmonious
meeting we have ever seen in the District of
Columbia, The hall, at an early hoar, was
filled to repletion with one of the most re
spectable audiences ever seen at a public
meeting anywhere, and, by the imtnens
enthusiasm manifested, give evidence that

or freemen much more than we are Domo

We Southern men have learned some
things by bitter experience. We were once
proud and lifted up, felt able to whip five
Yankees apiece, and defied misfortune. We
felt and spoke loftily. Mark what baa be

Fe.Fi Fo h um,
1 smell the blood of a V hue League man ;
approve by my presence that I understand to
be the purpose of this meeting ; namely, to
revive the memory of events which shed lus
tre upon the whole American people; to
strengthen our lo-e of liberty and indepe
dence by thinking of what they cost. It is
well for us toloofe beyond the sad scenes of
the late sectional conflict, and recall the
common trials, common dangers, and com
mon triumphs of earlier times that tbe spirit
of the brotherhood may be reawakened in our
souls.
I am a Southern man a North Carolin-
tan. This is tne nm tune l ever stooa De-
fore a popular assemblage north of the Po
tomac. It is a fitting time to give utterance
to the real sentiments entertained by me and
those who sent me to this Capital as their
representee. I am here to promore peace.
reunion, and revived feelings of fraternity
among the American people of all sections.
I am not hear to tear open old wounds, but
to aid in healing them. As a citizen of the
defeated and humiliated section, it might be
thought natural for me to cherish
bitterness and study revenge. And so, per
haps, I might do if no one's fortunes but my
own were at stake. But I cannot forget
that in our homes there are innocent little
prattlers who are to live after us. In our
poverty we can leave them little else, but I
want to leave them a happy, peaceful, free,
well-governed country to live in. These,
my countrymen, are the pledges of my pa
triotism and the hostages which bind me to
my allegiance.
Most bartily, therefore, do I join with you in
celebrating this day as a day ever memorable
in the annuls of our common country. It is
pleasant and profitable to recur to an event
at the rjecollectiou of pride and satisfaction.
The history of that event is so well known
to you that I shall uot dwell upon its details.
Will you pardon me for speaking from the
heart, hi true simplicity and saying that
while eifting here to night thinkiug of the
event we celebrate and others too. which
have occurred siuceone prominent thought
has been uppermost, and it is this, that
"pride goeth before destruction, aud a haugh
ty spirit before a fall." The most striking
thing to me about the battle of New Orleans
is the arrogant spirit with which the British
army marched into it with the impious cry
of "booty and beauty" Upon their lips, aud
the utter discomfiture which followed, with
scarcely a scratch to the army of "Old Hick
ory." It reminds one of the destruction of
Seuuaehenb, when
"The Angel of Death spread his wings ou
the blast.
And breathed in the face of the foe as he
passed," - L
It is impossible to avoid the thought that
there are those who are at this moment

be misunderstood
a son of one of those sister States
which nave been standing for ten years with
hands crossed and bound with fetters waiting
for the word of deliverauce to be spoken b v
Congress whatever, when he was in command
of a mailitary so servient to lawless orders as
De Trobirand the other day, who only re
plied to the protests of expiring liberty by
saying, "I am a soldier, and have nothing
to do but obey orders."
Moreover there is another imminent dan
ger, Our Presidential eleetions come very
ofren. If States are kept in pupilage aud
guardianship under Federal coutrol. how
long will it be before such an election will
turn upon counting out or counting iu the
votes of some single State whose statehood
is questioned by one party or another ? Or
a State will have two governments, as sever
al have now, two sets of electiors, the re
cognition of one of which sets will decide a
Presidential election. When such a junc
ture arises, and wbo can say it may not
arise in a few years, what assurance have
we that it can be passed over peaceably ?
Is there not too much reason to fear that
there would be an outbusrt of convulsion
from tbe Lakes to the Gulf, neighbor clutch
ing at the throat of neighbor over the whole
laud ; not a sectional war as we lately had,
but a true civil war, desolating every town
ship, county, aud State ? May God avert
such a calamity. Having fought through
the whole late war, I am able to realize the
fearful evils of war. and I trust we may see
no more of it iu our country. Rut what I
haye said shows how easily it might come,
aud that, after all, as long as we depart, in
the slightest oegree, from the plain prin
ciples of tbe Constitution we walk upon a
volcano.
It is time for us to take reckoning in
soberness as to the dangers that environ us.
and avert them by recurring to tbe funda
mental doctrines principles ofpopular liberty
which lie at the base of our institutions. It
is time for us, also, to banish the spirit ot
sectional strife and ill feeling, and, recog
nizing each other's virtues as well
as fruits, (for we all have both ) learn to
forget and forgive, and be brothers again.
We of the South are not perfect. Neither
are we so bad as our eueuiies paint us.
Rut 1 am not going uow to enter upon any
defence of our people. Permit me to say,
however, in behalf of the duwntroddeu peo-
assas
sins ; and the best proot of it is this : Kel
logg lives, Longstreet lives, Packard lives.
and many others whose crimes have affronted
high Heaven and whose oppressions might
make even wise men mad."
In eonclusioo, let me pay a tribute to the
horic patience and forbearance of the peo
ple of New Orleans. They show that
greatuess which is superior to all others
the power to rule their own spirits. Such
fortitude under sore trial would do honor to
any race of men ; it is glorious ; it must be
God-given. I hail it as the inspiration of
coming deliverance and the harbinger of
Louisiana's redemption. I thank you, gen
tlemen, for hearing me so patiently.

Another case ot recovery from severe
wound of tbe brain is recorded by Dr.
Baldwin in the Richmond and Louisville
Medical Journal. It appears that a lad.
16 years old, was accidentally wounded
by the discharge of a pistol in the hands
of a companion a ftw feet distant. Upon
receiving the shot, the boy fell with vio
lence, but did not lose consciousness.
The ball, about the size of a buckshot,
entered the right frontal bone an inch a
bove the center of toe eye-brow, and, pass
ing through the brain, lodged in the oc
cipital bone near the center of tbe occipital
cross. A silver probe passed by its own
weight to tbe center of tbe brain, without

What One Vote Did. A single vote

made Jefferson President of the United
States, and this one vote moved tbe poli
cy ot the Government not only under
Jefferson, but under his successor, Jsmes
Madison. So a single vote of 100,000
votes made Marcus Men ton Governor of
