The Washington Globe calls the Nashville Union,
Governor Folks press" The appellation is neither
courteous nor true. The Union Is Democratic
Republican press, and there is no other proprietor
but those whose under its title head
Nashville Union
The Globe cannot refrain from making false in
sinuatl IONS against every Democratic editor in tho
country who refuses to follow in its wake and aid
in denouncing all whom IT wishes to destroy for the
benefit OF its master. What Democratic paper will
it assail next Suppose the Union was Gov. Folks
press does the Globe mean TO deny the Democracy
Of that distinguished statesman Will Mr.. Blair in
form the public who controls the columns of the
Globe Whose organ is that paper which claims TO
speak for the whole party 1t surely is not sincerely
devoted to Mr.. Van Buren,, but is managed for the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of another. Who is he, Mr. Blair -

PriaterS.-A writer in the Mobile Herald,
 who has been for sixteen years connected with the public press, holds the following de- serving cammendatory language of the mem | bers ef the craft. None who have had an opportunity of judging, will fail to admit the business of his remarks. He says: s.in all our experience, and we have visited four diff ferent governments from the one under which we were born and educated, we have always found among printers, not only more intelli- genee, but more iiberality in opinion-more of that noble and high-minded cast of prin- ciple, that looks with Q forgiving eye, as well upon the frailties of erfing humanity, as upon the jars aad contentious that grow out of either religion or politics, than among any other class of men-not excepting the teach CTS of the religion of the bible themselves, or the statesmen who thunder in the forum. Printers have a sort of free-masonry with the whole world-conversan not only with the events that arc transpiring in their own neigh borhood, but over the whole universe; their very occupation, and the peculiar province n which they move are calculated to bring within the scope of their vision and the circle of their interests, lfe opinions and the feel ings of the entire family of man. Il is a similar community of interests, and per- sonaI converse with the whole world, thai makes the honest tar a whole souled man, a friend tohis species, in whatever port hemeets them; but the printer is his superior in one respectable field ot letters, the garden of science, and the very fountains of learning, are in his range, and measurably under his control. With only three or four exceptions, we have pever known one of the profession that a good man mightnot be proud to take by the hand as an associate and friend, or that the statesman might not take into his counsel, with satisfaction to himself, and benefit to the Worldn

The Campaign of 1S44.-It is just as ne cessary for the success of Democratic princi- pies to carry the Presidential election, in 1844, as it was to elect Thomas Jefferson, irl l800; and the Democraey..of our country are bound, by every tie of patriotism, to unite in the good cause and by a concert of action, overthrow the advocates of National Bank and paper currency forever, or else our Re- publican institutions will not only be in dan ger oi encroaehInents, but ailIlilHation. The men who forsook the Democratic party in Io40, and became recreant to its principles, should recollect, that one more similar tri- umph (dlyested of especial Providence,") by the Federal party, might ruin the happy pros poets of the only really great Republic on earth, and put out, for all time to come, the only beacon-light to the human race on the habitabIe globe. Spirit ofJefIerson awake the enemies of equal rights are attacking the citadel of Liberty!
 By their fruits ye shall know them,'' was the saying of one who perfectly knew the human heart; and by the deeds of men We should judge them. Look at the con- duct of the Federal party, whenever and wherever It obtains power, from the nations debt, at the present time, down to the viola ton of the will of Stephen Girard by our city rulers The worst passions of the human heart arc leagued against us for the ensuing contest, and British gold will be lavished upon our election grounds, in the endeavor to elect President Clay congenial to the will and wishes of the brokers and bankers of Fhreadneedle street, London.

Whenever an animal is sus- peeted of having this disease, the groom, or person attending il, should make a strong solution of alum, and keep 1t by him in the stable. As. often as he has occasion t0-g go near the horse, he should Immerse his hands in the alum solution, and keep them there for some moments. Alum Is an astgingent, closing the pores of the skin of the hand, and which can consequently, for Q certain time, prevent absorption of poisoning matter from taking place. Perhaps other astringents, as sulphate of copper, would answer as well, but alum is cheaper, more easily managed, and equally efficacious.

In the days of mo principle for the public eye" the eleetioneering operations of coon- ism were comparatively easy. It had little local, sectional doctrines, which were used according to the company 1t was in. It was anti-slaRery here-pro-slavery there-an ul- tra-proteetonia at one point, and an ultra free trader at another. When asked for its broad banner of political faith, 1t merely said 'slet Us go fora change72 and settle other de- tails after the victory, and when its distinct i've features were looked for, 1t assumed a baechanalian leeg, and pointed to 'sthe hard cider0 ofits party Wigwans, toits proeessions, its excitement conventions, its big balls and its other bu1fooneries These dexterous tricks, however, being somewhat worn out, they will scarcely answer for the campaign which Is now commencing, and we observe that the journalists who once found in the use of the mystic word .Echange,D an avaiIa- ble substitute for argument, are somewhat Pefplexed, atthe very outset, with 1Ir. Clay7s letter to NIT. Bronson, of Georgia, on the subject of the tariff, which is a shuffling en- deavor to occupy the democratic ground in this matter, leaving number of the federal electioneerers completely in the lurch. If Nr. Clay is right in this, they must also ad- nit that Mr, Van Baren, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Wright, and other prominent democrats, are also correct in their views, and, likewise, that Mr. Clay is not altogether as they repre- sented him. The coon which got along so neatly in l840, when it had no principles, finds itself awkwardly hampered in 1843, when 1t endeavors to wear principles.

The Dance of Jt1stice.-A curious inci- dent occurred during ball given at Cork in honor of the British Association, which ex- emplifed the adroitness of the Irish police. A number of the swell mob honored Cork with visit, some of whom came express from London, and among them several fe- male practitioners. The crowded ball room afforded ample field for displaying their skill. An inspector Of police, dressed in ball cos tune, having observed one of these ladies appropriating a gentleman's purse, procured an introduction to the fair one, and obtained the honor of her hand for the next quadrilIe. iI1 gUIItiaITIdII, uf ot1tiTse' 55d555 0i the dance, ''did the agreeahlao to the lady she, on her part lavishing blandishments on her military-looking adnirer.

4 U7fe yNnrdergd ia .Nsc York-We learn from the New York papers, that on Sunday morning, young German, named Wnl. .Leitzer, murdered his wife, fred the bed on which she laY, and went of for a while, thinking, no doubt, he would avoid detection. He kept a sort of merchant tai- Ior's establishment in Broadway, adjoining the Broadway House, and lived ln the back part of the store, which was divided from the front by a curtain.
 sIhe alarm of fire was sounded about half past six o'clock, and the neighbors, in con nection with officers Freeman and Relyea, and Juatice 1IatselI, forced in the rear door, The fire was extinguished, and the unhappy wife discovered lying on q lot af feathers, the bedstead and bed tick having been con- sumed) pillow over her face and breast, and she perfectly dead-a portion of her limbs being so much burnt that the bones lay perfectly bare. Herself and husband, It appears, have lived for long time unhappl- Iy, and the monster in human shape has talk en this mode, apparently, to get rd of her. It is evident that he first snlothered her with the pillow, then set to work, by the destruc- ton of the building and the victim, to con- ceal all traces of his crime. They are both young. lie appears to be about twenty-six years of age, and Is an uncommonly fine looking young man. His hair and whlskeTs (of which he has 9 luxuriant quantity are of the faxen or golden kind-his features are extremely even, and he Is tall ard well made. His person was greatly set off during the inquest by handsome plaid sash, neg ligently thrown round his neck, showing he had a great regard for appearance. The un- happy young wife, as she lay. presented a melancholy, though deeply interesting and strange picture. She seems to have been un- commonly good-lool1ing, and of petit, ele- gant make. The pillow used for her de- struction covered her breast and face, pre- tected 1t from the fire-the rest uas black ened mass, and the contrast was striking in i the extreme. lever was more perfect specimen of finished and beautiful outline i than her face and chest--neyer a more shock ing one than that presented by her cindered limbs. i canister which had contained sPi- Tit gas Iav near the bed, and 1t Is supposed that the wretch threw the. gas. over the body i of the deceased after he had murdered her, so that 1t might readily ignite. Pieces ol cloth and conbustibIe matter were found un- der the feet of the murdered woman, and two holes in the floor, showing an appear anee of the fires having been kindled under each side of the foot of the bedstead or cot. Leitzer seemed very calm during the inquest. He was attended, as counsel, by Mr. Thom- as Warner
 The verdict of the jury was, ''that Ann Leitzer came to her death by being wilfuIly and leloniousIy suffocated by William Left ger, her husband, on the 18th Oct. inst, who afterwards fired the premises"
 The prisoner received the announcement with very little concern The Coroner is sued warrant for his commitment, and he was conducted by the Deputy Coroner and one of the officers to the Tombs.
