Mr. Lorng; A few days since, had the plea
sure of hearing address from our late Represen-
tative the Hon. A. H. Sheppard. Having heard
of an expected vendue in our section OF country
the gentleman presume informed not his opponent
Mr.. Hill of the fact, but attended alone that he
might have the field to himself.
When he arose to give US specimen of his Or
atorv he began in his usual strain, complaining OF
weakness of the lungs &C. and remarked that IN
consequence of the absence of his competitor ne
should be brief AS matter of course he ascen-
ded his favorte hobby the Suh=Treasury, the
United States Bank having tainted by the way In
consequence of the fatigue which it underwent two
years since.) He proceeded TO give US an elaborate
history of Swarwouts defalcaton in the same style
in which it has been given again and again IN the
whig papers for some months past. Having con-
cluded his account of this defaulter he said "you
are told that he is whig but mark ye, IL IS an IN
suit to uour understandings to be told word a
bout his political opinions. He then went on to
saw something of Price and remarked ne is real
Van Buren Democrat" giving US the insult OF
which he had just spoken in terms of reproach.-
In animadverting on the course pursued by those
two Gentlemen together with the Secretary OF the
Treasury, he told US that such conduct had never
been carried on in any monarchy upon earth; no
not even in England or France. An assertion of
this kind is peculiarly characteristic of this honora=
BILE gentleman. Ever ready Qike the most OF the
whig parIy) to assail the officers of Government
with reproachful terms, he will speak favora-
blv of an absolute monarchy.
If the principles of despotie government are
more congenial to Mr.. Sheppard's mind than those
of a republican government, he would do well, at
fer his defeat this summer fee from the District
of Columbia (hs present place of residence) and
take up his abode in good Old England
Having gone through his remarks about defalca
ton, the most of which from want of sound reason
ing deserves no refutatiop, he spoke of Gen. Jack
son in far more lenient terms than expected
He was aware that he was surrounded by demo
erats. He remarked to US that he believed " witt
sincerity that the heart of that individual Jackson
beat purely patriotic as any man that ever lived

Mr. Editor: 1t afforded me much pleasure to
have, at last an opportunity of reading in your pa
per- the much abused and, as the "Reglster" styles
them, the Janus-faced resol olutions of ATHERToN on
slavery. The comments which the "Register" has
from time to time bestowed on them, had induced
me to believe that they were the offspring of an
Abolition caucus, into which DR.. MONTGOMERY, and
other Southern Representatives entered, so that
thus the Abolitionists and shareholders, having
met in secret concave, might concoct resolutions
of double meaning, upon which these tl1o did=
n1etrically opposite parties might unite. 1t is
sage maxim that by the fruit shall the tree be udg-
ed and this is the only rational and satisfactory
way that the people judge of this caucus, by
entering into which DIR. MoNraoMERY has commit
ted so treasonable an offence. We wish that Mr..
ArHERToN's resolutions, which were the fruit Of
this caucus could be read by every in the dis
trict We would ask the editor of the ''Register''
to publish these resolutions and thus let the people
read and understand for themselves, did he not
show determination rather to comment upon than
give plain and full statement of DR.. MoNTGoME-
RYs course in our last Congress, Surely, the edl-
tor of the "Register" can have no plea for with
holding these Resolutions after he has far fore
stalled public opinion as the circulation of his paper
extends The editor has denounced these resolu-
tions and censured DR.. MONTGOMERY for supporting
them and it canbe nothing more than sheer justice
to Dr. M. to publish them. If the editor of the
NRegister," however, refuses, we hope you will
publish them again, and inform the people thatthey
are they which the editor of the 'tRegster" calls
Abolition resolutions, and that it was going into the
caucus which concocted these resolutions, that ha:
brought down upon DR.. MONTGOMERY such unmer
| tied abuse. WAKE:

We were put in possession of this unexpect-

Coltrell, of the schooner Essex. from Matamor.

the present Mexican rulersare capable Of effect

talents and celebrity, should be elected. or hos-
en-, for situation. Of which, as it appears, hrs
master was deemed unworthy, is matter that
seems to require more confirmation The Es,
sexis manifest, shown TO us by Capt Cottrell
bears an endorsement to this effect" On the
7lh inst an express courier arrived here from
Mexico, stating that Santa Anna was driven
from the presidential chair, and General Bravo
elected to Gil the vacancy"
Of the correctness OF this statement, Captain
Cottrel entertained no suspicion; and when
we take into consideration lhe well known fact,
that the present race of Mexicans hardly recog-
nze any principle OF action but the tumultuouS
incentives of unbridled lcenliousness, the newR
may not wear so sovapochryphal feature.
General Lemus and Canolizo are negotiating
about ma king peace. The former is encamped
at Monterey, andahe latter at Sdhillo. Busa-
menle is yet in Tampiep.
Alatamoras we need not say, is still IN ths
possession of the government; the rumor of its
being captured by the Federalists turns out Ia
have bern without foundation. The most remote
idea is not entertained of attacking Texas.

LAWYERS.

The Oswego Palladium makes the following
sensible remarks about the profession OF the law:
-"The time was in our country when the pro-
fession of the law of itself conveyed consequence
and probability. In the older States the law
yers chiefly belonged to What was regarded as the
highest circle OF society, and with but very few
exceptions. were men Of the very best education
the country afforded. To be a lawyer, then,
was to he something Of itself. That time has
gone bv-and the personal consequence of tbs
lawyer, as it ought, rests upon himself. To be
respected he must be eminent, and 10 be eminent
he must be the hardest working man in the rQm-
munity. middIing or poor lawyer is like q
middllng merchant or mechanic, and is not Of q
iot more consequence in society than either.
