AN OBSCURE FARMER!

prominent leader of tho Jackson party in the 18th dissric heard 10 remark long snce thar THERON ROCKWELL, Esq. the people, scandidate Cor Senator isa worthy, es,imabie citizen; bushen he addsds hes obscuee asa's and ea ,hat account is unworthy fla seal in ahe Iegglassre. If usaa is to e considered obscure, because he neither seeks holds an office; because he is not ambitious of the honors and emoluments of place and power; be- cause he is no, adept in the arf of lobbying and stock jobbing; because he s not constantly proclan ing his superior political integrity; because he does not frequent bar-roome and other places of pub lie resort, camorous as a speaking trumpet on tie subject of democracy! democracy: and beca6ae he does not l desperately ia love with iaboring people
 just on the eyeof eection and them with de- rision and contempt at all other times, then THERON ROCKWELL is, and ever will conaue obscure.- This is species oF noiorieiy which he does nOtas- pre though il is doubsIess very grateful to the tastes of the many little great sen who have sprung up like mushrooms in the hot-bed of Jacksoniems Bwi, af- ter all, is not the objection direct a.,ackon the r- ing interest of the 18th district? While perhaps we may find the equals of Mr. Rockwell iDgpoinl of in- ,egence and ability to pcsEsrm the dutes of pub lc station, in the agricultural and mechanica classes, yet it is believed that he has few, if any sueriors Few districts contain large nubsber of weil-in- formed, uprgh, and independent Formers and Me chanics as No. Is; bat we cannsa eject them all Sen aors at once. We are compelled to select well we can out of large number of names and the mo- ment the choice is made, of the Jackson aristo crats rises up and prefers an indictment against the candidate before the public, and charges the poor mf 0hn Esaf shall employ og obscvs la,cyer of the name of DAM IEL WEBSTER, to put tn plea in behalf of the acc cused, which will comprise the substance of speech recently delivered by him in the Senate of the U. g.. Plea ta bar of ae Indictment !'' Whatever inter LION 0f the conesry Eaa the aEEctAaral iatsrssG- is yet sleeping, it lies quiet and is not easily ed it desires nothing from ahs country but Ihe ab sence of oppression and the faithful execaiios ol he laws.

 What answer will the U. s. Anctney for the dis irict of Connecticut give 10 this pSa9 Itis obvious that he cannot demur; that he must traverse it, and put himself on the country-and here we rejoice the issue is closed. "a
