New-York daily tribune., 1843-10-21

u Col. JOHN MILLEN, Member OF congress
elect from Georgia, died at Savannah on the 18th
aged about 40. He was much esteemed In pub
lie and private life, and had been often IN the
Legislature. His death of course creates va
cancy to be filled by Special Election.
2 BY the way, this fact exhibits in striking
t liuht the inconvenience of the General Ticket
: system. which Loco -Focosm is bent on uphold
ing even by overthrowing the laws. This will
make the second time within year that the
; whole State of Georgia is drawn out, at great
expense of time and effort, to elect single Men,
Der of Congress. The District System prescribed
bv law would have saved her thousands, but her
dcmagoguc Governor insisted on vetolng the Dis
trctine bill passed by a Legislature of his own
narty. because it seemed to imply obdelence to
the laws of the land

Orr CLERGy.-We have noticed the sad afiiic-
ton which has befaen Rev. DR.. BRowNLEE and
probably put an end to his activity and usefulness
for life. About the same time Rev.. O. CHouLEs
is drawn away from us to Boston, and now it seems
that Rev. GEO B. CHEEvER is to leave us for Phi
ladelphia. Full as it is of clergymen, our City
can Ill afford to lose two such as Mcssrs. CHouLEs
and CnEEvER-me of signal activity, influence
and usefulness in other walks beside that of their
profession. They have rendered themselves great
ly beloved and esteemed beyond the bounds OF
their several communions, and their departure
will be widely regretted,
