      ANDREW JACKSON AND EARL GREY . TIIE REPUBLICAN Ah'D THE ARISTOCRAT CONTRASTED . Last week we drew attention to the fact , that thc Globe , in the course of its observations on tlie character of the deceased E . int Gimr , had drawn an invidious distinction between that statesman and AsnnEW Jacksox , the latter of whom it pronounced to have been " the representative of a later and

      worser school of statesmanship than that of the English Minister of Reform : " and wc also promised to contrast the acts and characters of the respective representatives of Aristocracy and Republicanism , that thc English working classes might have an opportunity of judging of the " schools" to which they respectively belonged , and of the nature and worth of the " lessons" taught by the examples of the two schoolmasters . That promise we have endeavoured in some measure to fulfil in another part of this sheet ; and what is there left short we purpose here to supply .

      It was our intention to have given a compilation from thc " Life of Asmvew Jacksos" published in England by William Coisbeii ; for in that little volume will he found most of the facts we desired to have known , told in the simple and forcible style of which the author was so rare a master . During the week , however , there fell in our way thc accounts we have given of the manner in which the People of America have testified their regard for the memory of Asdkew Jacksox ; and particularly tho eloquent oration pronounced by Mr . Bascrofi at Washington , in which he traces thc General , the Legislator , the

      Statesman , and the Governor , from the cradle to thc grave ; and wc have , for reasons hereafter set forth , preferred inserting those accounts to the matter we had originally laid out . There is an interest attachable to these proceedings , from thc circumstance of their having been engaged in by an entire people , that would not attach to a mere narrative of facts , though they did relate to the career of one of the most extraordinary and one of thc best of men that the world ever gave existence to . The facts detailed by Mr . Bascroft are mainly thc same as those set

      forth hy Mr . Cobbett in thc history we have named but taking into account thc occasion on which utterance was given to them ; taking into account the fact that a whole people were assembled to honour the remains of Mm who had been to them " a father and a friend "—of him to whom those facts related ; taking into account that thc occasion and thc scene that presented itself to the orator ' s view , —with the consciousness that in all the large towns throughout thc Union a similar scene was being enacted , —inspired him to speak

      " Thoughts that breathe , in words that burn " : taking into account all this , the history of Jackson ' s life which we are thus fortunately enabled to give possesses a freshness and a poetic interest which will make it doubly acceptable to the reader , and much better calculated to answer the object wc have in view in instituting that contrast between the English Aristocrat and the American Republican which the Globe has provoked .

      Following thc narrative of acts and deeds which have endeared Axdkew Jacksox to the people whom he served , will be found a narrative of the acts of the English Minister , Lord Grey , and his colleagues , from the day they entered on office to the day of departure therefrom . The hare recital of the respective acts of thc respective men is all that is necessary to enable the reader to judge between them , and of the value of their respective " schools . " On thc one hand he will sec the man of principle ; of devoted patriotism ; of unbending integrity ; of mighty genius , both for war and for

      peace—able to defend his country with raw and undisciplined troops , when even not half armed , against thc flower of tho English army led on by a Sir Eoward Pakkxuam , Commander-in-chief , and brother-in-law of Wellixotox himself—which said Sir Edwaud Pakexiiam and his two Generals , Giwisand Kbase , were left dead on the field , besides many others of his most valuable and distinguished officers , and thousands of his troops , whilst the raw backwood farmers who had committed this awful slaughter in resisting invasion , had but thirteen in "killed and wounded !"—a genius too that

      could govern in peace , and conduct bis country through that most perilous of all changes , —a return from an unsound and depreciated currency to a healthy one . Ho will see too , unaffected disinterestedness ; a pure life ; a seeking after retirement , but a prompt obedience to the call of duty : in short , he will see thc MAN—thc Pat-riot , —tho Statesman , — the Governor—the DEMOCRAT . On thc other hand , what will he find ? Will he find love of country ? Say rather love of " ORDER . " Will he find stern and unbending integrity in the execution of the laws ? Say rather an attempt to stretch law , and act

      with "VIGOUR . " Will he find the patriot , alive to the evils of the Government of his country , placing himself at the head of the people , and perfecting those changes necessary to give full and free expression to the public will ? Say rather an attempt to cheat the people with the sembuxce of Reform , while flu real work of RECONSTRUCTION was so carried en as to perpetuate and add to the very evils that" Reform" was to cure . Will he find disinterestedness ? Say rather a NEPOTISM never equalled by the most mercenary and hungry Minister that ever held power . Eaiu , Gket had relations of every rank and degree stuck into officefastened on the people— -until the whole country rung with tlie cries of complaint , and compelled

      the Men Minister , when he left office , to try to justify his conduct . He had one son in the Ministry ; he had a relation , Mr . Ellicb , in one of the " departments ; " he had his brother created a bishop , to whom was also given a " stall" in Westminster ; he had a brother-in-law treated a bishop also ; and he had two sons promoted in the navy over the heads of thousands of officeis , a great part of whom were at sea bofere these said sons were born ! Contrast all tliis with the conduct of General Jacksox . Do wc find that man thrusting his hands into the public coffers , and quartering his relations on the public purse ? Do we find him with a large " retiring salary" after he had " served his country" iu the field and in the senate ? Do wc find this in J . \ ci £ * w ' s case —thoa ^ li we do find " services" thai

      w tion of the soil ; depending not on thepeople ; taking nothing from them ; but living on his own means . Nay , wo find him , when unsuccessful in busmen , through the misconduct of a " partner , " insisting on " paving evcrv obligation that had been contracted ; and , ' rather than endure the vassalage of debt , instantly parting with the rich domain which his carlv enterprise had acquired , with his own mansions , with the fields which he himself had tamed to the ploughshare-with the forest whose trees were as fcmriforc to h"u as his incvvds-atvd chose rather to dwell , for a time , in a rude log cabin , in the pride of independence and integrity . " Ah ! Mr . Globe match that if you can ! Go through the whole oi Loan Gbev ' s career ; take him from the first hour of

      his political existence to the last hour of his life ; and show us anything that can at all approach the picture hero presented of a man who acted for his kind as if he knew that country had claims and he duties to perform , which were not to be satisfied with , or bartered for , drossy gold . ' But General Jacksox was no aristocrat : Lord Grey was . Jacksox could not recognise in Nature ' s " ordering" any provision for hereditary rulers . lie saw himself sprung from a pair of poor Inisn Emiouaxts—forced to quit their native land in search of the means of existence ; and he saw

      George the Third , —tlie monarch that claimed theho - nwenndsubjectlon of thepeople of thc new world , —a half idiot when ho begun to reign , and a confirmed mad man before he had done . Hcsaw thc " men of the Revolution "—those who built up the powerful fabric of the States , sprung from the people ; and he saw the aristocrats of England unable to retain their grasp of the Colonics they had presumed to legislate for , and to tax , He saw liimself at New Orleans , with a mere handful of country farmers , with only one rifle for every two of them ; and he saw " Sir" Eu "

      wardPAKUNiUM , legitimately descended from Milium de Pakenham , of Edward tho First ' s reign : and he saw also the representative of aristocracy , although commander-in-chief of the English forces , kid dead on tlie field , with thousands of his troops , and the rest absolutely driven into the water , by the sturdy democrats of the back-woods , who only had " thirteen killed and wounded" ! Andrew Jackson saw all this , and much more to thc same purport : axd he uigut-FUUA' DESPISED AX AuISTOOR . VCI OP BIUTU—while he bowed the knee in reverence to thc Aristocracy of

      MIND . Thc Globe says : — The strongest sign of the progress of " ochlocracy" * in the Greek commonwealths , was the multiplication , and , as i t were , public scramble for petty offices , and the adoption of a system of rotation instead of election , and of rapid succession in those office's , intended to gratify the universal thirst for an actual share in power . This idea of rotation has been put forth in the lute General Jackson ' s Messages , precisely from the same motiye as

      prompted it ( though he probably knew nothing about that ) in the States of Greece , And General Jackson carried out into actual practice the same principle , so tar ns it consisted in making all places change hands , for the gratification of the humblest ambitions , by carrying farther than ever had been done before him , on attaining power , a clean sweep of every holder of even the lowest public ollice . In like manner the downward movement of democracy in the several States has tended to abridge the duration , and change the holders , even of judicial offices .

      And well was it , for mankind , that General Jacksox did inculcate and act out in practice thc principle here condemned ! It was not well tor the mevo holders of office ; it was not well for the jobbers ; it was not well for your Boxiiams and your Boldekos , who pocket the profits of " shares" for their official and legislatorial " services ; " it was not well for these , and such as these , that such a principle should bo established : but it was well for thc people , whose interest it is that no party should be fixed on litem for life , —but that all thc offices of state should be open tO all , THAT MANY MAY 11 E TAUGHT TIIE AUT AXD

      MYSTERY 01 ? oovEuxixo , and the people not left at the mercy of a mere handful of greedy officials . The reasons that prompted Jacksox ' s conduct it is not for the Globe to understand , lie can only look to the securing of th «? aristocratic principle and the perpetuation of aristocratic sway . Jacksox laboured for a people ; laboured for freedom ; laboured for his race . Jackson sought to teach the people—to render them s-.-lf-sustaining—to free them from all extraneous and deteriorating influences . He wished to pass them out of the stats of aristocratic childhood Into the manhood of Democracy . As BaS .

      croft eloquently says : — " It ivas for the welfare of thc labouring classes that he defied all thc storms of political hostility . He longed to secure to labour the fruits of its own industry ; and he unceasingly opposed every system which tended to lessen their reward , or which exposed them to be defrauded of tlieir dues . Tho labourer may bend over his grave with affectionate sorrow ; for never in the tide of time did a statesman exist more heartily resolved to protect them in their rights and to advance their happiness . For their benefit he opposed partial legislation ; for their benefit he resisted all artificial

      methods of controlling labour and subjecting it to capital . It was for their benefit that he loved freedom in all its forms—freedom of the individual in personal independence—freedom of the States as separate sovereignties . He . never would listex to COUXSELS WHICH TENDED TO THE CENTRALISATION OP power . The true American system pre--opposes the difi- 'usio . v op fheedom—organised life in all llieixirtsof the American body politic , as there is organised life in every part of the human system Jacks x was deaf to every counsel which sought to

      subject general labour to a CENTRAL will . His vindication of the just principles of thc Constitution derived its sublimity from his deop conviction that this strict construction is required by the lasting welfare of the great labouring classes of the United States ; To this cud , Jacksox revived the tribunicial power of tlie veto , and exerted it against the decisive action of both branches of Congress , against the rotas , the wishes , the entreaties of persona ! and political friends . ' Show me , ' was his reply to them , ' shew me an express clause in thc Constitution

      authorising Congress t » take the business of State legislatures out of their hands . ' 'You will ruin us all , ' cr ' . ed a firm partisan friend ; ' you will ruin your party and your own prospects . ' ' Providence , ' ' answered Jackson , ' will take cave of me , ' and he persevered . " Herein is the great distinction between the patriot and thc selfish maintainor of class ascendancy : the one works for tho people-seeks to make them truly free by making them fit to enjoy and appreciate freedom—and the other seeks to "stand by HIS ORDER . " To each docs posterity do justice . The one ifc rewards with , undying W-. tho other it either sinks into utter forgetfiilness , or sets the name up as a by-word for reproach and warning . Ifc needs

      no foresight to tell whatplacs Jacksox will occupy in the estimation of men . The "history" of his acts , and of the homage paid to hia memory by those for whom he has toiled , and bled , and thought , and dlroeted-which we this day g ive-speaks plainly enough that those acts are recorded in tlwheartsof tho people ' , and generations to come will learn to lisp the name of Old Hickory with admiration and regardand his deeds , as related by the sire to llh son , will swell the youthful bosom with emulative desire How iong will Lord Gro t ' s name remain amra ^ wJ If it was not associated with that most enormous specimen of specialisms and rfeccft-the Reform Act - and that monstrous embodiment of cruelty and d-vilism-tho New Poor Law Act-who amongst Us

      ilcre is thc manner in which was . We giro thc account just as w find it in a paper published in a spot subject to the influence of Jic " family " Wc let it have all the benefit of that feeling Mi exhibited itself in Alnwick , which ted to the shutting up of shops . Tradesmen m the vicinity of lordlv " castles" know what to do to secure custom ; and such places arc not tlic most favourable in the world for asserting and maintaining the independence of the press . However , such as thc account iswc give it : —

      , Thc remains of this nmi . ible and deeply J ^ JJ nobleman ( Lord Orov ) were interred m the tanulj * auit at llowick Church , on Saturday theSOtli fart Thccereniony , in compliance with the known wishes of the deceased , was strictly private . This cclehn . tcd man w s followed to the grave by his son the pme . it hurl , by tho Earl of Durham , hy the Right Honourable Mnnid Ellice , M . P ., brother-in-law to the late Earl , and by other members of thc family , on foot ; the only mourner not related being Dr . Wilson , the medical attendant of the deceased Earl through many years . Ihe tradesmen ot Alnwick by one consent closed their shops betiem tl e hours of twelve and two o ' clock , and every . tributeoi respect that circumstances permitted was paid by the entire neighbourhood .

      What a contrast to thc " end" of HIM whom the Globe has placed at a discount , when compared with Earl Grey ! One paltry town , mainly depending on the custom of the " castle , " " shutting up shop , " and " looking foul" on the one hand—and a whole people engaging in paying homage to talent , worth , and patriotism on the other ' . ' Grey sleeps at Howickalmost unnoticed-shortly to he ail-but unknown . " Tiie Valley of the Mississippi , the theatre of his youthful valour and his meridian renown—the sanctuary of his declining age—folds within her bosom the ashes of her Jacksox . In the centre of that

      young but vigorous State , whose destinies , once his anxious care , were long the objects of his satisfied regard ; on the sunny banks of the Cumberland , where the strong verdure of thc West begins reluctantly to yield to thc luxuriant beauty of the South ; embosomed in a sacred solitude , stands the tomb of the Hermitage—henceforth to divide with Mount Vernon the respect , the admiration , and the reverence of mankind . The simplicity of his life , the calm dignity of his death , are exemplified by the humility of his grave . He rejected the imperial honour proffered to his bones . ' I cannot permit my remains to be tho first in these United States to be

      deposited in a sarcophagus made for an emperor or king . I have prepared a humble depository for my mortal body beside that wherein lies my beloved wife ; where , without any pomp or parade , I have requested , when my God calls me to sleep with my fathers , to be laid ; for both of us there to remain until tho last trumpet sounds to call the dead to judgment , when we , I hope , shall rise together , clothed with that heavenly body promised to all who believe in our glorious Redeemer , who died for us that wc might live , and by whose atonement I hope for a blessed immortality . ' This was tho answer of Christian

      meekness , of Republican simplicity , of American patriotism . Catching the strain from the lips of thc dying Hero , the people echo its lofty Inspiration . Sleep sweetly , aged Soldier , Statesman , Sage , in the grave of kindred and affection I It matters little where Ms body is laid , whose memory is enshrined in all our hearts ; the monument of whose fame is the country that ho served ; the inscription of whose greatness arc the praises of the world . But if there be any solace in memory ; if any virtue in tho contemplation of heroic deeds ; any purity in thc lessons of sublime example ; to the sepulchre of Jacksox let the pilgrimage of humanity be made .

Alt Dm Fuiexds , —The Trades Conference , and matters of information connected with the Odd Fellows , has caused such demand upon our space , that I shall not be able to say much to you ; but what I do give you , shall ba all plums . I will begin with poor Jack Watkins , whose ravings his friend Car penter is shoving out of Lloyd ' s hy a graduated slid " ing scale . They have found their way from the first to the last column , in a less respectable portion of thc paper than they were wont to appear in . If he writes this week , his letter may be reinstated in its former prominent place ; as Carpenter will read this before Watkins' " lot" is fixed , and he will have to thank- me for enhancing his value . I have only ono extract to give from the "Took mas ' s Philosopher ' s " last ; and here it is : —

      What , then , shall I do ? Shall I join a co-operative society and subscribe weekly out of my earnings in the hope that , by association , I may do more than I e .-m individually , and get a chance of having the bit of land and the franchise at some future time 1 No . I have seen enough of co-operative societies to distrust them all . I will savo what money I can , and buy a freehold for myself . I know a district in England where I can get land cheap enough ; so that if I do but lay by 10 s . a-wcek out of my 80 s ., I could , aye , in one year , buy sufficient land to give me the franchise .

      Now what think you of that ? Our scheme must fail because the thing promised cannot bo realised while-John " hioivs a district in England where he can get land cheap enough . " There ' s a secret worth knowing for you ! I have heard of a district in Ireland where the pigs run about with knives and forks stuck in them , crying , " come cat me , " " come eat roe ; " and I know of districts in Ireland where you can get land for asking for , and thanks for taking it . But even that is not thc exact question . The question is , that John Watkins assures you that you can save 10 s . a week for a year , and that the < £ 2 G so saved would purchase a 40 s . freehold . Come , that is very nearly eight per cent , to begin . But even that is not the whole question . John tells vou that

      you can only do this in your individual capacity ; that he has had enough of " co-operation . " In faith I think he has- lie " co-opemted" nearly £ IT worth of Stars out of mc : and says he paid mo in "Fuiru Tales . " Now that is John ' s whole question . This maniac has been hired to write for the League ; and their object is to try to prevent tho very thing they have always dreaded—thc union of the working classes . Just think of working men , each upon bit own account , looking into titles , and dealing separately with landlords , parsons , and lawyers ! But then thin k of the valuable admission , that even Individually the people can get eight per cent , on a purchase . But John only knows " where . " I suspect ifis that part which , in Ireland , wc call the back of Godspeed , where the Devil foaled the fiddler '

      I now come to a very much better authority than John Watkins , —the Times newspaper . There has been a Repeal Demonstration in the County of Wexford lately ; and it appears that it was the most respectable ever held in the county , 'flic followin » h the reason assigned by the correspondent of the " Times , " who you may be sure is no fool ' ; and for this simple reason , because the mana gers of that paper invariably employ the persons most fitted and best qualified for the work to be done . They have the means j and they stop at nothing for the best and earliest intelligence . Here is the extract from tho Tinm ;—

      It will be seen , upon a perusal of the foregoing nscessanly hasty sketch , that the proceedings differed little if at all , from those of any of the large meetings which Mr 0 Connell has lately attended . Its magnitude certainly constituted one point of difference from mceut displays for a similar purpose , for the opinion of persons who were present at all the monster meetings ol ' lSIS was that the gathering of to-day outnumbered th « m all , witluhe oiZ exception ofTwa . Another feature by w ch the a ! ecmblago of ft-day was distinguished from others was the

      superior appearance ot personal decency , comfort and vigour displayed b y the peasantry who attendedit Taken as a whole I have never seen any body of the labouring classes m this country which would not suffer bv a uo » , ° pariioa with them . Their superiority in this respect s accounted for by the fact , that there are very Si 0 „ resident landlords connected with the county and that thesystein of allotting small holdings is adopted fa cou siderable extent The proceedings passed ^ ' witS the occurrence of the slightest accident or disturbance

      , »>„ . tatiou of cattle and provisions for consumption j ft ft country , from Holland and oilier parts of the coiiti „ ' S has been unusually extensive this week . The Untfl * steam-ship Batavier , which arrived at St . Katliarine * - steam-wlnirf on Wednesday evening , from ltotterdaui " had on board 73 oxen aud cows and 50 sheep , all in ex ^| ' lent condition , and which were in coiisequeiicclaiiii (; iailj delivered immediately for the markets . This vessclaj ^ brought the large number of 1 , 009 baskets of i -urm , besides a quantity of yeast , poultry , melons , cucuniViBr * and other articles of Dutch produce . The General Stean Navigation Company ' s vessel Ocean , which arrived & u \ . Brunswick-wharf , Blaekwall , on the following day froffl ' the same place , had 40 oxen , 33 cows , 11 calves , til sit ^ and 10 lambs , altogether lli'J head of cattlo , on bw , { She had also nearly 400 baskets of currants , a quanti tv

      of yeast , and other articles of Dutch produce . The Sa „ company's vessels , Burl of Liverpool from Ostein ] , iJain , bow from Havre , and Tourist from Calais , on the sameday also brought a large quantity of poultry , butter , e--s , and other articles . By a recent regulation , eiitttt ilr . riving from the continent in the night , on or after the de . parturu of the landing officers of the Customs , are r . ov detained on board all night , as formerly , but after the usual inspection on the part of the veterinary surgeon appointed to examine ; them , are delivered immediately by the rivw officers cf the revenue , who are on duty at all hours , the

      duty being subsequently paid by the importers . Tliij prevents tlieir deterioration by heat of the hold or other , wise , consequent on their detention on board . From flit fact that a great quantity of the fresh fruit which ij brought to this port from the continent is forwarded im . mediately per railway to the north-midland counties , it would appear that the metropolis is almost complete supplied from the neighbouring market-gardens , and tlue the large quantities almost daily broug ht from abroad a « principally for the purpose of meeting the great deninn . ] of the population of the great midland manufacturing districts . The same remark will apply to the consuma ,

      tion of animal food , and nay account in some measure for the enormously high price of meat notwithstanding the large quantities of cattle brought to this country from the continent . You will bear in mind , that in my letters upon Peel ' s Tariff , Igave him till the autumn of 1840 for its earlier development . You way rest assured that at or about that period the effect of the Tariff will be felt by the labouring classes , as thc wages of all will be measured by the price of provisions : and further , that agricul . tural labour will become a drug in the market . The farmer must not derive too much hope from the

      co-existing high price of meat and increasing importation of stock : because all that foreigners have as yet to spare will not make any visible impression upon tho home stock , as Jong as all classes arc able to buy so much as they now arc : but wait till three in every ten pots cease to boil , and till the exportation of foreign cattle simultaneously increases , and then , when the candle is burning at both ends , the effect of the measure will be felt . First , in the decrease o agricultural wages ; second , by the competition in the artificial market of the " superseded" agricultural labourers ; third , by thc failure of fanners ; fourth , by the failure of landlords ; fifth , by an attack upon the " funds" and the church ; and sixth ,

      by a crash among the largo chimneys . Now observe ; that is thc calamity against which I am try ingto provide ; for , whoever lias his Small Farm aud cottage , will be independent of all casualties , and may laugh at the shock he has escaped . I will now shoiv you why the exportation of foreign cattle is increasing . It is because the foreigners have found out that it has become profitable to take calves , from two and three years old heifers , as a substitute for old cows that are fatted for the English market . In the autumn of 1840 you will see how the untaxed continental beasts will make thc English brutes , —with national debt , army , navy , church , poor rates , land rates , constabulary rates , county rates , civil list , and royal prerogative upon their horns , —stare .

      When I return from my tour I will write you on the mode of applying thc £ 15 advanced by tlic Chartist Co-operative Land Society to the occupants , and about thc stock and first management : and when I visit Belgium I will give you a full account of thc modes of living and of culture in that country . Your faithful friend , Fearovs O'Cossor-P . S . —My letters in tho Star are so complete on the many questions put to me in private letters , that I must refer the writers to them . I really cannot answer letters privately . F . O'O .

      BiciujiD ILidfohd , IIiajiE , —The reason why tlie agenfi in Manchester ho names , were short of their number of Stars was we presume , that on Saturday there was an extra demand for it , on account of its notice of the Odd Fellows' rupture —[ we learn this fact from o ther sources ] . Mr . lle-i > vooel not having re-ason to anni-elie'inl the increase , w is not prepared ivitl more than ui ? usu : d number . On the principle , therefore , of " first cenw first served , " those who wore late in their applications would necessarily be short . The best way to remvlj ' this is to give positive orders for a certain nuniK'i ( 0 Mr . Hey wood iu sufficient time for him to order tteui from the office . [ Since the above was penned , we rind
