Published by the Committee appoint

The Providence which gave Andrew
Jackson to his country has taken him
The event was not unexpected
for tlfe measure of his days was full but
the loss is not less to be denlored. the
, 1 1 , . i - j
public grief is not less deep and prevail
ing.: i Now for the seventh time a Presi
dent of .America has been gathered into
the folds of the past. Were he merely
one who had been twice elevated by .the
free choice of the people of this country
to the office of its chief ruler, a suitable
demonstration of respect for his memory
would be usual and becoming. But the
Presidents of America have usually had
higher claims to the memory and venera
tion of mankind, than the mere possession
of exalted office or the decent discharge of
its duties. To those who have been thus
distinguished, Jackson is an illustrious ad
dition. The proud honors and the pow
ers which his country bestowed were but
a grateful tribute for services as signal and
the means for others. His life connects
the greatest events in the history of our
country. His boyhood participated in the
combats and sufferings of the Revolution,
his! manhood crowned the close of the last'
war with glory, his maturer age was parents were in very moderate circum
adorned by civil labors and triumphs no stances: his father died while he was very
less useful and illustrious. His life em- j young: his brother was early slain by the
braces adventures as extraordinary and ' enemy in the war of Ihe Revolution: his
wonderful as any contained in history orj mother followed them to the grave from
i f mi r f C .1 A J1 Tl 1 U T l r,rr
romance, l oe overpowering torce oi nis,
genius impressed itself ineffaceably on the
fate and institutions of his country. The
volume of history which details the story
of his life will be the delight of boys, the
study of soldiers and statesmen. The -poet,
M the orator and the philosopher will
alike find materials there whence to point
their appeals to the imagination, the pas
sions and the reason of posterity. When
we add that his transcendant genius was
guided by the love of humanity, his lau
rels gained not in conquest but in defence
of his country from aggression, his tender
ness was equal to his courage, his heart
was warm and sincere, his integrity un
questioned, his word never broken and a
devout sense of religion gave to hi3 cha
racter those Christian graces which are
bevbnd the reach of philosophy when we
add this, it will be manifest that we have,
not met here merely for the purpose of
paying a becoming respect to the memory j
of a departed magistrate, nor even merelv i
to render a last tribute of gratitude for
public services; but also to indulge that
adnjiration which is the irrepressible hom-
a of the human heart to him who sur -
to its object and to us also who yield it.

The facultv of feeling enthusiasm and ad-
j faon
of sympathising and exulting at

position and difficulty, is not the least, no
ble part of our common native. It attests
"
a generosity of spirit akin to the heroism
which it contemplates; it is a feeling
which angels might share, it is an aspira
tion to the skies with whose inhabitants it
declares our kindred.
From every part of this broad republic,
from every party, sect and opinion the sol
emn occasion of the closing of the grave
over the mortal remains of Andrew Jack
son has called forth this sentiment. In
passing through a long and arduous career,
in the course of which he was the leader
of one party in the fiercest, most interest
ing and most important political conflicts
which this country has yet witnessed, it
could not otherwise be than that there
should be engendered much opposition anfl
animosity. It was natural too that during
his life the prejudices of opposition should
often aj5gravate7his infirmities anrl deny
justice to his merits. -But these prej unices
were already mitigated, by time ana n is a
trait honorable to the American character
that these animosities are now buried in
his grave; that throughout the length and
breadth of the republic there is but one im
pulsive sentiment1 of grief; for hi,s loss and
admiration for his heroic nature. As
part of that republic he Joved, and served,
and honored, we bear our parlmhe ex-
voices to the chorus that swells from
mountain and plain arid follows his ascen
ding spirit to the skies. He who in this
mournful hour when that high soul has re
turned to its Maker and earth has received
its inexorable debt, can forget the virtues
and dwell with bitterness on the errors of
Jackson, is not to be envied. Fortune
may have surrounded him with her blan
dishments and every external means of
happiness may be his, but God has denied
to his heart that sensibility to lofty and
generous emotion, which is the surest and
most bounteous source of earthly felicity.
The fame of Jackson is too large as his
ends were too liberal, his benevolence too
expansive, to be engrossed by any party.
His Instinctive sagacity saw far into the fu
ture, whilst others saw only the present.
Hence differences of ppinion. But while
time has illustrated the purity of his aims,
it has also confirmed the accuracy of most
of his conclusions. His fame is the pro
perty of his countrymen, his example is
the inheritance of mankind.
The time would not allow me to give
even a brief sketch of the life of GenL
Jackson; nor is it necessary, it is already
familiar. I shall refer therefore to a very
few incidents only and that with all possi
ble brevity. He was born in 1767, and
South Carolina has the nonor of his birth
place. His parents were emigrants from
.-the Presbyterian settlement of the north
of Ireland. America owes a debt of grati-
tude to Ireland.
Much of the best blood
that flows here has its fountain there.
His
sriei auu lyu 1ua wia mc uu oa-
son left without
a relative in a country
that was still
a wilderness: self reliance
was taught: I his native virtues were nursed
hv ndvfrsiHr. In anv countrvbut this the
orator would pause to call attention to the
" j , , --- j j -
obscurity of his birth and early fortunes,
and contrast them with the splendor of his
later renown and the high stations he fill
ed. Here such contrasts are ordinary.
Our equal institutions give to no one rank
a monopoly of the service of the State any
more than nature has given it a monopoly
of virtue and merit. Poverty and opu
lence ascend side by side to the post of
power and distinction.
I pass over the romantic adventures of
the boyhood of Jackson. In those days
even boys bore arms for their country and
he was taken prisoner. Every one knows
how bravely he resisted insult, and how he
received a wound whose scar he carried to
the grave. He studied law at Salisbury in this
State, a place remarkable from the earliest
period tor us devotion to iree principles.
What is now the State of Tennessee was
then a Territory and a wilderness. , Thi-
1 ther the enterprising spirit ot Jackson car-
I- a
Kl&'ried him. He settled in the town of
j Nashville and commenced the practice of
1 " f . (
ms proiession a proiession wmcii in mose
days partook of the dangers and required
!the courage of the soldier's. The wilder -
1 1
ness to which Jackson went was about to
1 become a State, and Jn 1796 Jackson was
t i ' i . il A.Z
elected to the Convention to form a Con-
stitution. In 1797 he was sent as a Sena -
tor to Congress, where he voted with the
Republican party against the alien law, Af -
ter occupying this post he resigned, and
was shortlv after made one of the Judges
of the Supreme Court of Tennessee;
which place also he soon resigned from a
dimdence oi tne sumciency oi nis legai
learning to discharge its important duties.
Unambitious of public station he now de
termined to devote himself to agricultu
d settled on that beautiful
iai -v..ww., -
farm called tfte Hermitage, where he has'fraih from pausing a .single moment over
ever since resided when not in the public
service, and beneath whose shades his bo
dy now reposes. While holding the office
of Senator from Tennessee he had been
pWted Mai or General of the militia of
that State. He held that office until 1 8 14,
when he received the same rank in the re
gular army. Gehl. Jackson was first
called from his chosen retirement to de
fend his fellow citizens frbni the bloody
ravages of the savage. The Indians living
south of Tennessee instigated by a preten
ded prophet, encouraged by the British)
and countenanced byr the Spaniards in
Florida although Spain was at peace with

body of volunteers he penetrated the In

shade; but if no other memorials remain- said the words "the enemy shall never
ed, they would sufficiently establish his reach the city,r: they could not under
possession of every quality which distin- stand it from his lips, his tongue was
gnishes a great commander. He pushed strange,, to them: but in his invincible
without any certain supplies into the un-j bearing, his ready courage, his incessant
trodden wilderness: his own unflagging
spirit sustained his soldiers in every labor
and privation. By his activity, skill and
intrepidity he defeated the Indians in seve
ral bloody combats With a moral cour
age more rare, more admirable than mere
courage in battle, he decided on entering
Pensacola, drove away a British fleet shel
tered in its harbor, and by this bold step
cut up Indian hostilities by the roots. In
the course of this service he had occasion
to display that readiness of decision and
invincibility of resolution which seemed
almost to place destiny in his hands. His
troops were volunteers, and becoming
wearied of traversing forests and streams,
and anxious to return to their families and
business before the objects of the campaign
had been accomplished, they insisted that
the term of their service had expired and
demanded that they should be permitted
to return home. The discontent spread
through the whole force, finally a part
broke out in open mutiny, actually aban
doned the camp and commenced their
inarch home. When Jackson heard of
this, seizing a musket he mounts his horse
and placing himself in front of the muti
neers he declares his determination to
shoot the first man that moves except to
j return to his duty. A pause ensues, num-
bers vield to enersrv and the soldiers re-
. j
, turn to their duty.
I hurry over all these events interesting
as they are, to reach One which by its im
portance and' the glory it shed upon the
country eclipses every other, not only in
the life of Gehl. Jackson but in the miH-
tary history of America.
The situation of New Orleans is unri
vailed in the world for commercial advan
tages; at the mouth of the most extensive
river navigation in the world, the exports
of the most fertile half of the Union pass
es by its levee. The possessor of Nevv
Orleans holds the industry of that vast re
gion tributary. Louisiana had been but
recently acquired; to the Union: the city
was unfortified: its population incongru
ous and supposed to feel but little attach
ment to principles of politics or forms of
government. This pre-eminent value and
supposed weakness recommended it to
English cupidity, and England designed
its permanent occupation. With this
view was sent, over an army of 10,000
men comprising the flower of those gal
lant veterans who had expelled Napoleon

.ham, who had acquired reputation as the
antagonist of Marshal Soult Jackson

eye delights to linger.
At the dawn of the eighth of January
1815, -a day forever consecrated to patri

American lines. Around us arethe little

withstood every British1 allurement to

Behind us lies the famous city For week
after week while attack has hung voyer . it
like a gathering cloud,, with what emo
tions may we not suppose it to ha ve been
agitated! But no longer do the-inhabitants
shrink in terror from the lowering
with those words came a new spirit; Men
late hesitating to fight or fly, now spade irtt
hancl strengthen the ramparts or are arm 5
ed to defend them; those affrighted wo
men make clothes for the destitute sol-
jdiery: devotion lends its aid to courage, in
the churches before the majestic emblem
of Christian suffering and hope, a "holy, vi
olence" is offered to heaven by pious ador
ation and entreaty. For week after week
the cloud has been gathering; the city, its '
wealth and beauty are yet safe. 7 The river
rolls its turbid flood yet unstained with.
carnage: - but the cloud is now to burst, for
in front of the American lines lie the hosts
of the enemy entirely -unseen, for" a
dense. fog envelops every thing -' It is the
Sabbath morn ing, but how: d ifferent from
the sound of Sabbath bells inviting: to
peaceful worship are the sounds now
heard! A cannonade from a battery
thrown up by the British during the night
and. a flight of rpekets that illuminated the
air com mencedhe attack, j At length the
sun dispels .the) ,m1sts and exhibits to tb
Americans behind their ramparts the cc
umns of the British army advancing1 at
swift steady pace and already near. Th.
bright
arms reflect the rays of the morL
e men in front carry fascines to fi

Now opens the American fire; frpni can
non and niusket pours the destructive hail;
the advancing columns fare ' mowed like,
grass to the earth: and aain and again, as'
the brave and disciplined soldiers are led
to the charge until courage has exhausted
its efforts, until their leaders slain and their
ranks confused and thinned by terrible
slaughter they retire from the intolerable
fire. The sun which rose. on the city de
voted to pillage and lust, before he reach
ed his meridian beheld its rescue and the
repulse of its assailants. Never before was
so signal a victory achieved, and such car
nage done to the foe with so little loss to
the victors. Peace had before been decia-.
red between the two countries, though in
telligence of it had not reached the com
batants. This victory alone WaSjWatitirig
to fill the measure of the country's honor
and felicity. Its importance is not to be
estimated merely by the value bf-the posi
tion it secured, great as that is. It gave
oiir'country pride, and a character at home
and abroad a character which will be f a
surer defence a gainst foreign ?, aggression
than "walls of stone. The victory of New
Orleans will have its weight in the scale
whenever the rights or honor of tlie coun
try are decided on whether by diplomacy
or arms. The fame of every such achieve
ment moreover is national property," and
strengthens the bonds of union between
the States by adding to the ties of a com--mon
origin and common interest' those hot
less enduring of therecollections of acorn
mon peril and the possession of a common
glory. -The intelligence of - this victory
diffused universal joy. The General after
disbanding his troops travelled to- 'Wash
ington and New- York, and was every
where received with a gratitude and res-'
pect such as had been paid to Washington
j only before. The military skill displayed
in the defence of New Orleans is admit

than military ' skill was required;, others
might perhaps have d isplay ed : a s much ,
technical skill in the preparation and con-

could have chained treason and 1 disaffec-
