ANNIVERSARY.

The next celebration of the eight! of January, at the mettopolis of Louisiana, will in all probibili y be honored for the first time by the presence of hc " Militao ry Chieftain," who made it a day u in our lowing cups freshly remembered.' The subject and manner of the following invitaiion alike honors t him who gives and him who takes " What a proud day, for the General and his associates in arms, who give it to the calendar of fame, for the city whose i ame it has given to immortality, for the state thus cemented to the Union by the blood of her citizens, and for that Union preserved from dismemberment and redeemed from threatened disgrace i In the breast of the ma ny Lrmisianians who bore a pai t in the conflict, what various emotions will bo blendid. associating the pride of iocal triumph, and of individual fane, with that of national r 1 There is a peculiar propriety in the concurrence of the passage of tins resolution by the l ist legislature of Louisiana, at the same time paying the debt of gratj.tue in the person of his child, to the memo! y of his first benefactor, while entwini; g the laurel wreath for hf r living heo; thu-s proclaiming that Louisiana, pm chased by the wisdom of the sage, anil tlcuMvled bv the valor of the hero, unites

in me sentiment of Jefferson, in ascribing to Jackson, ' honor to the man who has filh d the measure of his country's honor.' Yes the people of Louisiana will not permit party feelings to invade the sanctuary of their General's fame ; they will sacrifice them as they have once already done under his banner, with a blush, on the altar of country. As on the 8th January, 1815, the Patriot General united all American hearts and hands in their country's cause, so on the same day in 18'2S, will they unite with one accord, in pledging the wine cup to the remembcrancc of perils past, giving thanks for their preservation, invoking blessings and honor on their dc'ivercr, and off ring up prayers to heaven for the perpetuation of our country and bcr liberties and while such feelings r.re evinced bvsurh acts, our liberties must be perpetuated.

I have the honor to be, with great respect, Your most obedient servant, ANDREW JACK -ON. His Excellency H. Johnson, Governor ot Louisiana. From the Cincinnati Cmn. Register. The contemplated Baltimore rail road has created great and merited atrention. The west is as much concerned in its success, as Baltimore herself, and we have been looking on with much anxiety, to find out the course that Pennsylvania would adopt. It is now understood that her legislature have not given permission to have the road pass through anyfportion of her domain. We are not disappointed; we anticipated this result, and for the first time in our lives, we do not regret the illiberal policy which this state has pursued. It is better for Ohio and all the south-western region of this country, ii is better lor Baltimore that it should be so. We may resume this subject more at large, but it is now our object only to call the attention of the cnterpt irmgblks of Baltimore to one or two facts. It is said that if the road does not come to tbn river at Wheeling, it will do so as low, if not lower than Marietta ; it is evident.

It is impossible for us, at this distance, to conjecture who will be Mr. Canning's associates. The '1 ines of April I I, says that he, Mr. Canning, having refused to accept the station of Premier, unless with unrestrained authority to form a new Cabinet, had cairied his point, and was perfectly ftee.
