The Nashville Union, commenting upon
the death Of Gen. Jackson, remarks:


1--WE understand that Gen. Jackson's
last letter was written to President Polk
on Friday, the 9Th inst, and that It was in
relation TO our foreign affairs. The last
time he signed his name was on Saturday
evening, the 7th inst.,-the day before his
death. The Hon. Thos. F. Marshall had
written to enquire into the situation Of his
|heahh-the letter was answered by his
con, Andrew jackson, jr., and trdnked BY
Andrew Jackson-hat frank was his last
signolsre."


How highly win the eloquent and noble
Kentuckian prize this last relic Of . man
he had forpegt opposed, but Of whom he
subsequently, became the warm and enlhu-
siastic admirer. We had the good fortune,
last summer, when at Nashville, to hear
Mr.. Marshall speak of Gen. Jackson in
terms of cnlogy rarely before equalled.
He had just returned from visit to the
Hermitage, and the interview seemed to
have left an indelible trace upon his mind.
The old Roman, with his animated eye, and
warm, glowing patriotism, was ever before
him; he had grasped his hand, looked upon
his silvery hairs, and listened to his singu-
larly eloquent voice. That interview dis
sipated every lingering prejudice engen-
dered by party; everything seemed to be
forgot in admiration of the genius and
patriotism of man who seems to have
lived alone for the glory Of his country,
and the advancement Of human liberty.
Giving reins to his brilliant imagination,
he would break out into the most beautiful
flights Of thought and metaphor, eliciting
raptureus applause; and then, DEPRESSING
into some other topic, as if desirous of
avoiding excessive praise, his feelings
would again carry hm back to his grateful
theme, and another outburst of burning
eloquence would fall upon the delighted
ears of his immense auditory. Until that
time we never heard eloquence! 1t is
well that the last signature Of Andrew
jackson has fallen into such hands.
