Me- Chase not in nOmina- tion for reelection. The New-York Courier and some other kindred prints pretend to claim Mr. Prem liss as Jackson man, notwithstanding the party had candidate in opposition to him. An election in the state of New-York was however about to take place. aRdtG Courier resorts to all kinds of measures 1he mos, absurd to keep up the sinking spirits the Tammany troops. In a very few days we shall see with what effect. Fa

We must continue to repeat, that yret .his determnasion the part of MT. Adams It may however he setting an example which will be of service to ihe country hereafter. Mr. A. s a man who s probably little regardal of policy appear ances as any one living-Honest, ssraight1orward, seeking what he conceives the best interests of the country, without regard to party feeling or party mo- tive.

 "One of your old acqWaintances in this town. Mr. Logan D. Brandon, Tuesday the 18th insi. com mitsed most atrocOus outrage upon respectable e. tixen of this couniy, which terminated in almost 'm- mediate death. 1t appears that Col Gideon Northc"i' member elect ot the legislature Of this state, was lately tried before Court Martial for conduct unbe- coming an officer, and cashiered.
