young gentleman Of very genleel appearanceD and
who, as he informed the members when in Michi-
gan, wore two epaulets al militia trainings, take up
and discuss In detail the compaigns OF General ar
fison He reviewed theyarious eyolutions, marches,
encampmens, and battles, with that proinndity OF
military knowledge which universally characleIzes
militia officers, who have only heard Of service:
not TO be prollx about what he appeared TO think
very plain and simple, he demonstrated that every
movement was the result of mbecily, ignorance or

We would respectively submit to the Opposition
party in Congress, whether The watchfulncss and
perseverance of the enemy, and the high obligations
OF duty, both 10 their constituents and their cause
which rest upon themselves, do not imperousy
urge upon them The necessity of constant attendance
in their seats. Far be it from us either 10 censure
or to dictate But we feel an earnest desire 10 see
every advantage improved, every opportunity en-
braced TO hold the enemy in check and bring all
force 10 bear on all proper occasions, upon his over
throw. We are entering a mighty struggle, in
which, many of us believe the fate of the Republic
Is involved. Is there man in the Opposition, will
ling to take the open responsibility Of absentng
himself from his post, when by his fault the whole
might be lost We hope not. We trust there will
be no sleepy nor tagging soldiers in this last great
battle Every nerve should be strung-every eye
should be Open The COUNTRY EXPECTS EVERY FRIEND
OF HERS WILL DO DUTY.

What has Mr.. Bedford Brown, of North

What has Mr. Bedford Brown, Of North
Carolina done, to make the Globe speak of
him with such cutting irony! Or is the Co
vernment editor really in earnest, when, in
his notice of the debate on the right Of petit
,ion. got up in the Senate few days since by
MIR. Calhoun, he says Mr.. Tclmadge was
treated with sererity by Mr. Brown. The
severity of a tomtit on an eagle!
If the Globe will proclaim that the oppose
ton members are used up by the champions
of the administration, let it have the prudence
to select for its heroes those whose talents are
at least not below mediocrty-let it not at
tempt to make great man of the person who
was once told by Mr.. Calhoun, in his place in
the Senate, that he "had not the capacity to
understand his (Mr. C's.) arguments"
