JI1STICE

We find the following in the Indiana State
Sentinel, which we transfer to our columns
with great pleasure. We know of no better
man or truer Democrat than Mr.. Brown. May
he soon meet with the attention which his own
merit imperiousy demands:
WILLIAM J. BRowN.-By reference to the card of
late able representative, it will be that he
will not be candidate again to represent this district
in the Congress of the United States. The card of
Mr.. b., though brief is full of feeling and does him
honor. In parting with who has so long bated
shoulder to shoulder with the ronhearted democra-
cy of Indana-himself always foremost in the fight

ledge Of the circumstances of the tend to soothe
May all peace, prosperity and happiness attend him,

A FEW PLAIN TRUTHS.

An eminent political economist, banker,
TOO, by profession, tells that humanity, justice,
sound policy, equally require that of all interests,
those of the poor should always be the most
consulted and the most constantly respected
those whose labor is always the worst paid, viz
those who produce the necessaries Of life. The
poorer classes are every where the most hume
rous, and the greatest good of the greatest num-
Der should claim our first attention. But so fan
from this, that the poor, the laboring classes, are
the very last who are thought of, or cared for,
by our legislative bodies. Their whole time is
consumed in granting mouopolies and ercIu.
sive privileges for the public goodn of few
favored individuals. Session after session i.
worse than wasted in legiss'ing against labor.

OUR NEW NAME.

Since issuing the prospectus for our new
paper, it has occurred TO US that the similarity
of its name with that of a city contemporary
may occasion innumerable mistakes at the Post
Office, and on the part of our subscribers abroad.
To avoid such consequences, and at the same
time to bear more comprehensive title, with
out grasping neighbours thunder, we have taken
the name of THE UNITED STATES
JOURNAL, and our paper will be so called
and addressed from and after the 1st Of May.
Editors who have copied our prospectus will
please make this correction.

From The Globe of .1{ooJ,,

The Globe Office and its appurtcnances, Tin virtue
of the agreement which annex for the nforma-
ton of its subscribers, passed Saturday last into
the hands of Messrs. Richie and Heiss. The Globe
had its origin in the will of Gen. Jackson and owes
to him and Mr. Van Buren,, and their political friends
the success which has attended it through fifteen
years of conflict closed by the late triumph of the
Democracy, which efsced the disaster of lS4O Ii
has been the misfortune of the Globe in sustaining
the strong administration of Gen. Jackson-the un.
compromising administration of Mr.. Van Buren,
and in opposing the abuses of Mr. Tyers administra-
ton to make enemies of some who united with the
Democracy in its last struggle The interest of the
cause requires that all who contributed to the cleo
ton of the present Chief Magistrate should continue
to give their support. 1t is the good fortune of the
conductor Of the new official organ not to have offend
ed any portion of those whose adhesion TO the party
is necessary to its safety and We have un-
bounded confidence in the ability, integrity and pat
rotsm of the who is now to preside over the
establishment, and shall consider ourselves amply
compensated for the sacrifice we are now called on
to make if our antcpations of the continued union
and success of the Democracy shall be realized by the
official journal under its name and new auspices
We cannot express our gratitude TO the Democracy
to which we owe every thing.

THE PITTsBURG SUFFERERS.

to depict the terrible calamity that has befallen
the Iron City, and humbed her in the dust; but
we can feel the full force of the appeal that

We trust the citizens of the District will
need no argument to convince them that ii is

liberal spirit manifested by them in former
times, assures us that they will meet the call
with open hands and willing hearts.
We call the attention of the public to the

CHANGE.

1t will be seen, on reference to our columns,
that the Globe and all its appurtenances--its
name and its nature-its personnel and materiel
has passed into the hands of Messrs. Richie
and Heiss, the former of the Richmond En-
quirer and the latter of the Nashville Union.
We agree with the former editors, that the
interest of the cause demanded change, but
whether it required the change that has been
made, or another, time alone can determine.
We have long known the senior partner of
the new firm, by reputation, and have been
taught to revere his judgment and admire his
patriotism.
In him, therefore, we shall find venerated
oracle, rather than an aged competitor; an ora
Gle to be consulted by the young so long as it
speaks in the language of the past and breathes
the spirit of 1913 and IA.
With him, we demand the immediate annex
alton of Texas-the adherence to the one term
princpe-a strict construction of the Constiu-
ton, and an implicit obedience to the laws
We believe the People to be the masters in this
Government, and when their will is fairly, free
~ anu luHy eAPlcsseu, uhueI tut SOHSllullOn.
that it is the duty of ALL high or low, rich or
poor, bond or free, to hear and to obey.
With him we oppose United States Bank,
a high Protective Tariff, the distribution of the
price of Glory, the assumption Of State Debts
all special privileges and corrupt monopolies.-
We know no men, but stand with the rod of
truth to measure their principles and to refuse
those which fall shot OF are rotten at the core
A short acquaintance with the junior partner
has inspired US withthe kindest feelings towards
him, and we feel assured that nothing will occur
to change them.
The Executive organ, or the organ per Sc,
for we claim to be as good an organ as ever
raised the notes Of praise ourselves, will find nc
bed of roses in this political hot-bed to reclne
upon, unless the vigor of youth is united with
the wisdom of age in the editorial chair; and,
then without the constant and hearty co-opera-
ton of the great Democratic family, it will be
often filled with thorns planted by unjust suspi-
cions and grsundess jealousies.
We shall breed no family quarrels in the Re
publican ranks; but if, perchance, any arise
there, we shall speak peace to the fiery spirits.
and if this will not answer, we shall demand
justice for Young America, even though the
ancient leaders shall srowl over the well-picLed
bones of past, though unmerited, favors.

The limits of the Democratic party have been

CORRECTION.

We copy from the American Sentinel OF Phil
adelphia the following in justice to Robert Tyler
Ro.ERr TrLsa AID THE DUBLIN "NAnos."- We
have observed lately copied into various newspapers,
u,Iapded attack on Mr.. Robert Tyler, by the Dub
lin ID paper called the "Naiion," and have been
asked whether such attack is not ungonerous and
unwsnantable The fact is, common report has given
Sanction TO the tale, and many have been deceived
into belief Of its truth We give, therefore, the real
state Of the facts, asa proper OF correcting The
gross msststemenl which appeared originally in the
New York Herald, and has, far been allowed to
travel the rounds uncontradicted The Herald says
ut appears by the last accounts from Dublin, that
the repeaIers are very savage against Mr. Robert Ty-
or The Nation the organ Of the Ropeaiers, deDounces
him slave hoIdef-and considers his fiery speech
es' ia this country a cap-tIap'hollow heart
ed attcmps TO obtain tho suirages OF his Irish fellow
citizens-and that II does not want any such advo-
Gates Of the cause Of Ireland"
Now the simple facts, furnished us by an oblig-
ing friend, these and important to be known /;
the particularly as the charge 10 the paragraph
above reflects upon the conduct and motives Of high
minded and whole souled conference.-the. Robert
Tyler-and seems to come from an Organ" Of the
Irish people,.
He has placed before a copy of the Dublin "Na-
ton" Of LIST March last. We find 10 il communion
ton addressed to the editor by Mr.. Houghlon of
Dublin, very Phanthropic member ofthe Society of
Friends but whose views upon the Slavery question
are completely ultra and not al all in keeping with
the motives Ofihs M pms" sdtoo hpon the subject.
The communication Is headed "Mr. Robert Tyler and
the Irish in America and is certainly by no means
complimentary 10 Mr.. Tyler. But far is the edi-
tor from endorsing such sentiments much less OF
speaking them that in his ''answer TO Correspond
ents, he thus speaks of Mr.. Houghtons communica-
ton
ain another page we give letter from Mr. Hough-
ton on Robert Tyler, which we publish chiefly be

and OF humanity has an irresistible claim col

Mr.. Tyler and still do Dissent from the pol
icy OF Repeater picking needless quanels with warm
and useful allies, no matter on which side Of the At
antic"
The veracity oflhe Heralds statement is thus e1-
planned for the benefit of those who had not an oppor-
