DEAR SIR&-The political excitement
prevailing just now in In. can be cquoIc'
only in Vt. The subject of Railroad:
seems to have moved the blood of the
the Pilgrims to more than an unusual de
gree Of eXcitation. OF course ! Judge
from the papers have seen from thai
quarter. They tall; very Indignantly ant
very eloquenjly about the movements o
the iron hOrSr, or rather about the JOck-
cyS who put him in motion, Here the
coming Gubcrnatorial election eXcitos
our citizens (I'll hazard the assertion) as
much as the special privileges conferred
by Railroad charters does yours. The
candidates are out electoneermg. AT
the North that service is performed
by the friends Of the nominees. At the
South it is done by the nominees them
selves. Thew 90 about the State, take
every man by the button, urge their own
claims and for his support with the Ut
most non choIance 1t is very problem
atical how the election will terminate -
The candidates, johnson and Debuys,
are very popular (lhe former the candi-
date Of the Democrats, the latter of the
Whigs) PROFESSIONALLY the strongest
men of Their respective parties, Johnson
is one Of tbs Judges of our Court, and n
man whose private character Is beyond
all rcproach. Debuys has held several
important Offices under the State govern
ment anC is great :avortc Of his party,
There are several minor circumstances
connected with the character Of each can
didate that renders their chances of sue
cess nearly equal. For example, De-
buys is Creole. That it is supposed
will oprate in his favor. The Creoles in
local elections, sometimes kicking out of
the traces, to support one Of their own
number, regardless of his politics. As
an offset to this, Johnson who is a very
fine looking man, is the idol of the ladies'.
Taking advantage of this circumstance,
his party have heard it limited, repre-,
sent him in certain quarters Of the State
as JachciOr. | wont vouch for the truth
OF this, though coming in shape that is
very plausible. At all events his popu-
larlY with the ladies may carry the cleo
ton in his favor Their influence you
know is omnipoteut The candidates in
the congressional district to supply the
vacancy occosioned BY the death of ]. Is. |

candidate of the Wings is Tho. J. Cooley
and OF the Democrats j. II. Harmanson

Polk over Clay in the Presidential cleo

Wings have not much chance Of success.

JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT

We announce with great pleasure the
appointment of Hon. LEVI WOODBURY. to
the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, caused by the
death Of Judge Story, . 1t is high trust
like that of the President of the United
States, neither 10 be sought or declined
MIR Woodbury. has not sought 1t and the
country, requires that he should not de-
cline it. His position. ability, experience,
soundness and pre-cminent fitness for the
office, directed all eyes towards him as
THE man as soon as the vacancy occurred,
and he has received the appointment, as
/, should only be made in such case, from
the spontaneous action of the appointing
power The promptness with which the
President has made the selecliction rem.
ders it a still higher tribute to the position
of Mr. Woodbury., as the safest and sound
est constitutional lawyer to whom 50 grave
n trust could be committed. That he will
accept it, under such circumstances, we
cannot doubt; for though it sewers him
from direct political action in the field, the
cabinet, or the senate chamber, in all of
which he has stood unsurpassed, it never
thelcss reserves his great abilities aud
sound principles for the service of the peo-
pie at "A point where, more than at any
other IN our institutions, is required fear
less scntine TO guard their constitutional
rights.

Wig COnSisiency-Many oflhe wing
prints which recently supported Mr. Clay
for President, are denouncing the project
of annexation on the ground of slavery
Have the sagacious conductors of these
prints forgotten the following passage in a
letter written by Mr. Clay in October last!
81 Go no. think that the subject of Slav-
cry ought to affect the question Annex

Texas be independent or incorporated in
the United States, do not believe it

See prospectus Of the New York Daily
Globe which we publish, Levi ID. SIamm,
is its editor, and no higher compliment
could be paid to a democratic paper. The
Pennsylvania speaks our mind c-g-g'zact-
ly-
"The editor is the " ell.known Levi ID.
Slamm, whose reputation as an able and
fearless writer, aud whose services in the
late campaign. in which he was one Of the
most interchangeable and constant actors,
have cndeared him to the democracy eve
rywhere. "The Globe" is just such pa
per as we expected our friend Samm to
print. Bold, thorough and sIralght'ior-
ward, it takes hold Of great questions in
such a manner as to arouse the feelings OF
It's readers. The Globe is radically right
in its democracy and most fearless in the
utterance OF his views. 1t cannot fail to
succeed. Indeed, We have learned that
the hopes of its friends are being hand
somcIy realized by its daily increasing cir
culation and popularity"

We understand that Mr. MaLane's re.
ceplion in England, public as well as pri-
vatc, has been most gratifying to him and
complimentary to our government and
President; for, after all, in spite of our
own democracy, the statesmen OF Eng
land choose to regard our minister rather
as an ambassador, representing the per-
son of tie sovereign. Mr. McLane's re-
ccptiOn by the Queen herself, is said to
have been most gracious, and accompa-
MED with unusual expressions Of respect
for orr government and chief magistrate.

BY TIE LATE THOMAS HOOD.

Loving, not loathlng.
Touch her not scornfuIIy;
Think of her mournlulIy,
Gently and humanity,
Not of the stains Of her:
All that remains of her,
Now is pure womanly,
Make no deep scrutiny,
Into her mutiny,
Rash and undutiful;
Past all dishonor,
Death has left on her
Only the beautiful.
Still for all slips Of hers
One Of Eve s family
Wipe those poor lips of hers,
Oozlng so clommIy,
Look up her tresscs,
Escaped from the comb
Her fair auburn trcsses;
Whilst wondermcnt guesses,
Where was her homer
Who was her father2
Who was her mother2
Had she sister,
Had she brother2
Or was there a dearcr one
Still, aud nearer one
Yet, than all other2
Alas! Tor the rarity
OF christian charity
Under the sun!
Oh! it was pltiinl!
Near a whole city full.
Home she had noncl
Sisterly, brothorIy,
FaLherIy, motherIy
Feelings had changed:
Love by harsh evidence,
Thrown from its eminence.
Even Gods Providence
Seeming estrangcd.
Where the lamns uui,pr
So far IN the river,
With many light,
From window and easement.
From garnet to basement,
She stood, with amazcmcnt,
llouseIess, by night.
TIE bleak wind OF March
Made her tremble and SILVER;
But not the dark arch,
Or the black flowing river;
Mad from life's history,
Glad to deaths mystery,
Swift to be hurIed,-
Anywhere, anywhere,
Out of this world
IN she plunged boldly
No matter how coldIy
The rough river ram
Over the brink of it;
Picture 1t, think Of it,
Dissontc Man!
Lave in it, drink of 1t,
Then, if you cam
Take her up tenderIy.
Lift her with care;
Fashioned so sIenderIy,
Young and 50 fair!
Ere her limbs fridgidIy
S!illcn too rigidy,
DecertIy, kindly,
Smooth and compose them;
And her eyes close them,
Staring so bIindIy!
Dreadfully staring
Through muddy impuriy,
AS when with the daring
Lost look Of dcspairing,
Fixed on fulurily,
PcriahIy gloomily,
Spurred by con,umely
Cold Inhumanity,
Burning Insanity,
Into her rest
Cross her hands humbly,
As ifpraying dumbIy,
Over her breast
Owning her weakness,
Her evil behavior;
And leaving with meekness,
Her sins to her Savior!
