MIR. GAYARRE, the newly elected &c.
nator from Louisiana, it is said, is Wing.
uA writer in the last Stanton Spec
aator. signing himself Virginia" makes
AN able call on the Wing members of our
Legislature to nominate Judge MAR
SHALL, for the Presidency. We feel con-
fdent, the nomination would be popu-
iareone--and agree with the writer that
lineage Of the Chief Justice is no objec-
ton to him. Yet, we cannot bring our
mind to believe, that that pure and vene-
rable.patriot would consent to be can
didate fortha ofice-as Of necessity, the
duties of thatsstation. will be remarkably
onerous during she next term, and not con-
genial to his imms culate character.
u We have received the frst number
of"THE APPEAL" new paper publish
ed atthesCity of Washington. ltsavow-
ed objec. is to support H.L. WHITE,
for the Presidency. From the sample
before US, we have no doubt, but that it
will be ably edited--and whe:her-it will
be successful in quilting the south, time
will decide. The paper had no sooner
arrived at our Office THANH it was called for.
and very promptly brought out one Of
our citizens, as appears over the sigma
ture "FArR Play" We requestsh the at
tention ofthe editor Of that print to this
communication.
Advices to the evening of the 9th from
London, and from Paris of the 7th, have
been received at New York at which
dates President Jackson's message had
not been received at either place.
U There appears to be no movement
on either side politically among the peo'
pie of Hampshire as yet; but probably on
Monday next, the question, as to the can
didates for the county will be agitated.
To inquiries made by some of eur rea-
ders, on both sides, we reply, that we
have no idea who are intended to be
brought out on either side. Candidates,
however can be much easier made than
MEMBERS. 1t was suggestedto US during
the present week, that Messrs. SLOAN q
NIXON would be the Van Buren, candi-
dates-and we have heard the names OF
Messrs. DAVID GIssoN, JoHN BRADY, &
some others mentioned as suitable candi-
dates for the opposition party.
%. LAWRENCE, the person who snap-
ped two pistols at the President, is pro-
nounced INSANE, by two eminent physi-
sicians of Washington City.
or The paragraph stating that the A.
merican Missionaries, lately murdered in
Java. were EATEN by the savages, is
pronounced untrue.
O. B. BROWN.
The s.Globe" says-"We condemn his
investment of money, whether on his own
account or for others, to whom he stands
in the relation of guardian, in Post Office
contracts. We condemn his borrowing
from. or lending to contractors, without
considering how far such dealings with
them may have been justified by law, or
were influenced by good motives. 1t was
wrong in MIR. Brown to enter into these
arrangements, because by possibility, his
connection with the contractors might
have operated on his official conduct, and
to say the least, was certainly calculated
to bring suspicion upon it, even when
directed solely to subserye the public in
terest. AS soon as the facts became
known to the President and Postmaster
General, MIR. Brown was made sensible
this, and promptly resigned his office. "
