6KNKBAL JACKROILL' WIPE. HER LAST HOURS HER TOMB. The new volume of Mr. Parton's "Life of Andrew Jackson" has the following account of the death of the General's wife:

On Monday evening, the evening before the twenty-third, her disease appeared to take a decided turn for the better and she then so earnestly entreated the General to prepare for the fatigues of the morrow by having a night of undisturbed sleep, that he consented, at last, to go into an adjoining room and lie down on a sofa. The doctor was still in the house. Hannah and George were to sit up with their mistress. At nine o'clock the General bade her good night, went into the next room, and took off his coat, preparatory to lying down.— He had been gone about five minutes Mrs. Jackson was then, for the first time, removed from her bed that it might be rearranged for the night. While sitting in a chair supported in the arms of Hannah, she uttered a long, loud, inarticulate cry, which was immediately followed by a rattling noise in the throat. Her head fell forward upon Hannah's shoulder. She never spoke nor breathed again.

There was a wild rush into the room of husband, doctor, relatives, friends and servants. The General assisted to lay her upon the bed. "Bleed her!" he cried.— No blood flowed from her arm. "Try the temple, doctor." Two drops stained her cap, but no more followed.

It was long before he would believe her dead. He looked eagerly into her face, as if still expecting to see signs of returning life. Her hands and feet grew cold.— There could be no doubt, then, and they prepared a tablo, for laying her out.

He sat all night long in the room by her side, with li face in his bands, "greiving," said Hannah, and occasionally looking into the face, and feeling the heart and pulse of the form so dear to him. Major Lewis, who had been immediately sent for arrived jnst before daylight, and found him still their, nearly spceelilcss and wholly inconsolable. He sat in the room nearly all the next day, the picture of despair. It was only with great difficulty that he was persuade*! to take a little eoffce. "And this was the way," concluded Hannah "that old mistus died and wc always say that when wc lost her we lost mistus and a mother too and more a mother than a mistus. And we. say the same of old master, and many's the time we've wished h'tn back again to h-dp us out of! our troubles."

A BK3UBEABLE RTOBT-TII LIFE •F A CELEBRATED ICB0LAB SATED BY AIT APPARITION.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly for November narrates the following strange story, which "supernaturalists" ^will, of course, greedily swallow:

Dr. De Wette, a famous German Biblical critic, returning home one evening, between nine and ten o'clock, was surprised, upon arriving opposite the house in which he resided, to sec a bright light burning in his study. In fact, he was rather more than surprised, for he distictly remembered to have extinguished the candles when he went out, an hour or two previously, locked the door, and put the key in his pocket, which, upon feeling for it was still there. Pausing a moment to wonder by what means, and for what purpose, any one could have entered the room, he perceived the shadow of a person apparantly occupicd about something in a remote corner Supposing it to be a burglar employed in rifling his trunk, he was upon the point of alarming the policc, when the man advanced to the window, into full view as if for the purpose of looking out into the street. It teas De 7 Vctte himselfThe scholar, author, professor—his hight, size, figure, stoop—his head, his face, his features, eyes, mouth, nose, chin, every one—skullcap, study-gown, neck-tie, all, every thing. There was no mistaking him, uo deception whatever: there stood Dr. De Wette in his own library, and he out in the street! why, he must be somebody else! The doctor, instinctively, grasped his body with his hands, and tried himself with the psj-eho-logical tests of self-consciousness and identity, doubtful, if he could believe his senses, and black were not white, that he Ion-

at his other likeness looking out of the window. Upon the person's retiring from the window, which oceurcd in a few minutes, De Wette resolved not to dispute the possession of his 3tudv with the other doctor before morning, ami ringing at the door of a house opposite, where an acquaintance resided, he asked permission to remain over night.

The chamber occupied by him commanded a full view of the interior of the library, and from the wiudow he could see his other self engaged in study and meditation now walking up and down the room, immersed in thought now sitting down at the desk (o write now rising to search for a volume among the book-she!ves, and itnitatiug in all rcspccts the peculiar habits of the great doctor, engaged at work and busy with cogitations.

IS HOJtEST BKPI'BI.ICA.X, The Hon. Mr. Lovcjoy, of Illinois, recently made a speech at Chicago, in which he talked thus

What do you mean, Mr. Lovcjoy 1 Do you believe that all men are created equal? Yes, I do. [Great applause.] What! the black man Yes. The tawny and red man Yes. It is a mistake to say that

Yon know that in Berlin, out of 425,000 inhabitants, scarcely more than 25,000 attend the churches. It may be that in other towns the proportion is a little larger, bnt an entirely satisfactory one will be found in but very few. Some classcs of society, especially the officials of public administration and of public justice, appear to imagine themselves to be in possession of an hereditary dispensation, as it were, from all church attendance. Tho disregard which thev manifest toward thc church, has become a by-word. Nay, in some towns the children only are sent to church, while the adults consider themselves above it, or as having outgrown it. To attend at the afternoon service is almost considered improper—at least not consistent with the tone of good society." This time is spent at dinner parties, or in excursions into the country after which in the evening, thronging to the theatres, ball-rooms, and other places of amasement folleW:

man's party. It is not the white man's party, nor thc black man's party, nor the tawny man's party it is not the tall man's nor thc short man's party, nor thc rich or poor man's party, lt is the party of equality, justice and humanity to all men.— [Cheers.] Oh, I'm afraid Lovejoy's getting too heterodox. No. I am preaching to you tlfe eternal evangel of God, and every one of you in your hearts know it is true.

Hence the Republican proposition for negro suffrage in this State. Hence the marriage of negroes and whites, etc. But all this has been tried in Hayti, St, Domingo, and all thc Spanish American States. Look at them and see what Republicans would make of us. And it is a fact worth note, that even Lovejoy equalisers of races, drive off the Indian and exterminate him, nowhere giving him equality of suffrage or of aocietj. The negro only ee«ma to be their lore.

LIXCOLX AIV ABOLITIONIST THE PROOF FBOJI nn twjr LIP*. We hear a great deal about Lincoln's

Conservatism," and about his determination not to interfere with slavery, in the States, if elected—but all that kind of talk comes from such journals as (he Commercial Advertiser, and other Republican organs, whose role it is to play the conservative" tune, in the great commercial cities, where abolitionism is most at a discount. If anybody desires to kqow what Mr. Lincoln's views really are, the better way it is to hear what he has to say himself. Well, then, on a certain occasion, the Ohio negroes saw fit to compliment Governor Chase with a silver pitcher, as a testimony of their esteem for one who had so much affection for them. The ceremony took place at Cincinnati, and Mr. Abraham Lincoln was present. In the course of an address to the negroes, Mr. Lincoln expressed the conviction that all the individuals of that class (that is, the negro class) are members of the community, and in virtue of their manhood, entitled to every original right enjoyed by every other member. He then went on to say

We feel, therefore, that all legal distinction between individuals of the same community, founded in any such circumstances as color, origin, and the like, are hostile to the genius of our institutions, and incompatible with the true theory of American liberty. Slavery and oppression must cease or American liberty must perish.

I embrace with pleasure this opportunity of declaring my disapprobation of that clause of the Constitution which denies to a portion of the colored people the right of suffrage.

True Democracy makes no inquiry about the color of the skin, or place of nativity, or any similar circumstance or condition. I regard thereforo the exclusion of the colored people, as a body, from the elective franchise as incompatible with the true Democratic principles.

But this is not all October 16, 1854, at Peoria, we find Mr: Lincoln declaring: That no man is good enough to govern another man, without the other's consent. I say this is the leading principle, the sheet anchor of American Republicanism.

The master not only gov

Nest, we find Mr. Lincoln, on the 17th of June, 1S58, at Springfield, Illinois, setting forth his Irrepressible Conflict," as follows

THE IRBEPBESSIBLG COXVI.ICT BETWEEN TnEBEPl'BMCAn. The ultra-radical Republicans omit no 7*'" didatc for President, received but opportunity to let Mr. Lincoln know what

they cxpect of him, in the event that he is chosen to the Presidential Chair. Hon. Daniel C- Somes, a Republican member of Congress from Maine, has written a letter to Wm. Lloyd Garrison, in which he says of tho old sixty thousand Abolitionists, who voted for Birney in 1844

Those of the sixty thousand who are not co-operating with you may be found in the Republican party doing good service. They have been engaged for many years in scattering the seeds of truth among the masses, until a plurality, if not a majority of the voters in the free States are fired with the true spirit of wisdom and animated by a fixed purpose not only to prevent the further growth of the slave power, but to beard thc lion in his den.

How can this be done, it may be asked, without interfering with state rights I answer by placing Mr. Lincoln in the Presidential chair, and holding his Administration to the letter of the Constitution and the Republican platform. In other words it may be done by placing the Government in the hands of men who will have the courage to defend the freedom of speech and the press" in the slave States.

If Mr. Garrison desires to publish an anti-slavery paper in Richmond, the President is bound by an oath of office to defend him against mobs or State laws.— Should Wendell. Phillips take it into his head to stamp the South, he must be protected, if necessary, by the army and na-

1860!

It seems but recently since we were in the midst of the political campaign of 1840 yet twenty years have flown since that era of humbug, log cabins, hard cider and gold spoons. Twenty years is a great period in the life of man, and a whole generation have grown up who have no recollection of the days of Tippecanoe and Tyler too." It is difficult to realize the fact that 1840, with all its memories, has faded back so far into the history of the past, and that wc now stand as far from that era as we did in 1840 from the date I of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 yet specimens of Republicans—the Gazette when wc look around us we see indications jand Commercial—what a charming, harmof the tremendous ravages which time has lcss

made and the momentous change he has wrought. Nearly all the statesmen of 1840—those who were connected with the Administration at that time—arc in their craves or have long since ceased participating in public affairs. 0£ Mr. Van Buren's Cabinet of 1840, John Forsyth, Secretary of State Levi Woodbury, Secretarv of the

ter he will like it, of course. Really, we find the irrepressible conflict slipping from our fingers, just as wc thought we had it sure.

The Commercial, which is' celebrated for its remarkable ideas on political—and other—subjects, is convinced that Mr. Lincoln is really for popular sovereignty and non-intervention on the slavery question in the Territories, and that in his celebrated contest with Douglas in Illinois, Lincoln was really striving to oust Douglas from his popular sovereignty hobby, and get his own long legs astride the saddle.

It rather puzzles one to know what the contest is all about. It seems to us that.
