we might afford to send son,e drones to
the political hive; yet having but one,
this one must be industrious.
Now ! come to another point, which
this Shawnectown writer seems to in
sinuate, VIZ That Mr.. Cook does not
possess the talents requisite to represent
the state TO advantage, and with respeo-
liability in Congress. This is a charge
easily made, but hard either to prove, or
entirely coniute; for all men of talents
must be Judged of by comparison with
others. True, number Of the eastern
prints represent MIR. Cook as possessing
equal talents to any member in the
house; yet this was never my opinion.
Men OF first rate erudiion seldom emf
crate to the forests of the west. But by
comparison with any man in the state of
Illinois, Mr.. c. would have nothing to
lose. Although very young when a
practicing lawyer, he stood at the head
of the bar, in this state. Constantly con-
cerned in transacting the affairs of the
public, either in or out of the state, he
has become as familiar with business of
a political nature, as perhaps any other
man of his age. Add to this an industry
and integrity which cannot be tired or
overcome. If our state will be likely to
lose its credit and political weight by
sending such man to Congress, | should
wish to know from Brufus," who we
are TO send, who will be likely to regain
it j! Mr.. M Lean seems to be the only
opposing candidate. We have tried him
once, and found him deficient not only in
talents but likewise in political integrity
Then why try him again, when our pre-
sent member never deceived us 81?
Bat it IS personal enmity which pro-
duces such virulence againsl Mr.. Cook.
He was concerned, last session, in po-
litical investigation, in which member
OF the Senate from this state was impli-
Gated. This member, OF course, has his
friends, as well as any other man high in
office. II these friends can inlure Mr..
C's. election, they will be gratifying the
revenge Of their patron--whether az the
expense of the public good, or not, Is
very lmmaterial 10 them. AS the cor
rectness of this investigation may pro-
duce another number, shall not par
sue the inquiry now; but advise Mr..
Brutus," tnat before he throws another
stone, to consider whether or not any Of
his political friends live 10 glass
houses"
had hoped that no newspaper con-
ten,ion would have preceded our Con-
gressional election +; but as Mr.. M'Lean's
friends have thrown the gauntlet, reply
is due to

The following is an extract of letter
from highly respectable member of
Congress, to his correspondent in this
Sta.e. No part of it was designed for
publication, but as there are efforts ma
king to prove that Mr.. Cook is not re-
spec,ed in Congress, and without ni1u-
ence, the gentleman who received it has
shown US the letter, and permitted us 10
copy the part which relates to Mr.. Cook.
We publish this to show, that instead of
Mr.. Cook being unpopular, or of mega
tive standing, he occupies in the esti-
nation Of the members severally, high
and influential standing
81 do hohe that Mr.. Cook may be
elected a member oFthe neat Congress,
as that zviH hroba6ky be the most imhor-
tant Congress since the formation of'the
government. We consider Mr.. Cook a
bold, able, and eloquent member and

has transhired, at the late session, 7ye

knozv not zehether gou knozv it, but l. do
assure you that Mr.. Cook is much es-
teemed among the members. The dele
cation. from Pennsylvania is zvarmly al
toched TO him They consider him one
ofthe most determined and abie deba-
tiers in the House. Indeed in national
hoint Of pie7v, I should deeply regret
that Mr.. Cook should retire from the
councils Of the nation. lie would in my
humble Opinion, be a national loss for
no man has more honora6ly and more
ably defended and sustained the admin
istration against the secret and insidn-
ous attacks, than Mr.. Cook. lie, Ser
geant, M'DuHe, Hugh Nelson, &c. de-
