It is not new to that the editor of the Adverti- ser, as member of the Legislature some few years ago. socd against resolution illuminate the cap. ltol on he anniversary of the Battle of NewO Orleans We admit also that he was subsequently, reelected to represent this county in the State Legislature, but we not prepared to admit that this re-eec- ton is to be taken proof that majority of the people of Mobile county considered 'the victory of New Orleans the greatest calamity that beiel our cointry," and that it's anniversary "should be observed day of fasting, humiliation and pray er," even though "it made Andrew Jackson Presi- dent of the United States" If such were given i'll justification of the vote at the lime, re. collection is greatly at fault, and submit with due respect that there would be some difficulty in msk ing it apparent.

 1 The editor does not understand what we mean by the tenn "nfatuation," as applied to his denuncia- ton of the victory of New Orleans. It is good plain dictionary word notw withstandng, and the opinion that few of our readers were at any loss either for it's meaning or it's application. Wben Tom Callender assailed the administration ofWash- ington, and deprecated the results of the battle of Yorktown, as it led 10 the elevation of that great man to the Presidential chair, the most charitable construction put upon his declarations by the people of that day that he was denened. We do not so so far with our respected contemporary, but we do say with perfect conviction of the truth of the propositions that the victory of the memorable Sh of January, on the plains of Chalmete, sent thrill of joy throughout ths nation. and received by the whole people of the Unlted States with sensibilty as deep and an enthusiasm pervadng and abiding the battle that closed the contest of the Revo Iulion in cloud of glory. 1T the one brought peace and happiness to nation. the other estabsh ed the ability of the people to protect their liberty against the best disciplined troops of Europe. It saved city from page. It proclaimed to the world that citizen sodery in defence of their homes and resdes invncible, and it taught lesson of self reliance to peopl", and of caution to our ene mics, the sautary effects of which cannot be over estimated.

 It is true that the victory of Orleans was steps piag stone to the elevation of ANDREW JACKSON | to the Presidency, and it is equally true that his wisdom in the cabinet not surpassed by his valor | in the field. By his veto the Maysville Road Bill, he arrested at blow the wastefu expenditure of tho public treasure and the insdious progress of consolidation. By refusing his signature to a re- cha ter of the Bank of the United States, he rtayed the progress of corruption, and led the way to the great measure of deverance and liberty which dis

 nguished the administration of his successor, and which, though plotted from our statute books by whIg infatuation (if we may the term) we trust soon to see restored. And finally, by his wisdom and 6rmness he smo thered ncipient revolution in a sister State wrought to madness by partial and op- pressive legislation.

 It is for acts such as these that the name Of AN. DREW JACKSON is held in reverence by the Ameri. can people. It s for acts such as these that his fame will descend to the remotest generations on the brightest page of our history and the annversa- ry of the battle of NewOrleans will be celebrated by the wise and the good glorious fsaie ts the sezond of independence, and as stepping stone to higher honors that awaited the victor, for ages af ter the memory of his assaiants shall be forgotten
