COMING RIGHT.-The Greensburgh Repository, is
beginning to show signs of good sense; and we must
certainly attribute it 10 the recent marriage of the
editor. We hope all Wing editors will get married,
as the Democratic editors do, Of course. The same
thing might be said of the Bloomington editor, to
whom we make our Acknowledgements as indebted one.
But we only intended to notice the following, as evil
dence that the Repository is getting inclined to view
matters properly. Speaking of the Wing candidates
for the Senate In Bartholomew and Jennings, it saws
erich and Coppersmith are both running on the
part of the Wings. Both of these gentlemen together
with a few of their personal friends should be put in
to strait jackets. A Wing might be elected in that
district, easily, were it not for the mulishness of these
two gentlemen and their friends. Why do the sensi-
bic part of the Wings in that district not bring out a
new man on which all can unite and let these two as
piring, crack-brained, selfish geniuses stay at home
and read their law books. Bring out a good farmer
who instead Of superficial ana fowery demagoguer5
is possessed of a liberal share of common, practical,
hard, horse sense, and nothing will be easier than to
succeed"
Aspiring, crack-brdined, selfish geniuses! ;" Who
would vote for such men! Better stick TO BARBOUR
he win do the thing right, we warrant.

with clubs, fists, &c. and an occasional pistol OF

From SAVANNAH. The Georgiln SAYS 1--WE
learn that Capt. Fatio, of the revenue cutter Craw-
ford was rudely attacked on the bay recently, by two
seamen, and would probably have been roughly ham
died, had he not been armed with a revolving pistol,
with which at the second discharge, he wounded one
of the seamen, who threatened to assai1 him with a
bludgeon. Both of the seamen, we are informed
we've committed for trial"
The Republican says that the outrage was commit
ted by British sailors to revenge the punishment of a
boy, for an attempt to desert from the cutter. The
sailors claimed that the boy is a British subject.

0ur Candidates.

The last Journal certainly dreaded what it received
on Wednesday last, Judging from its piteous moan
ing in the morning of that day. Last Wednesday
was the day announced on which Messrs. Weber and
Wilson, candidates for the Legislature, were to aG-
dress the citizens Of Centre Township. From the
much previous rainy weather, the mechanics and far
mers generally, were busiiy engaged; and consequent
ly the meeting was not so large as We desired to see.
Yet, under the circumstances, it was very respectable.
The only speech made, was by Dir. WEBER and
we have no hesitation in saying that he acquitted
himself well-nay-eyen to the utter establishment OF
many of the rufle-shirt aEstocracy, who deem it an
eighth wonder of the world for a plain common farm
er to make a good speech-and that this was a good
and an able one, none have had the hardlhood to deny
We will not attempt even d synopsis OF his argu-
ment, because our limits will not permit, and because
we desire every person in the county to hear for them
selves. His intention is, to give the citizens Of Gen.
tire another chance to hear him.
On the Oregon and Texas questions, Mr.. w. was
certainly not only able and eloquent but such was
his array of facts that those who have heretofore
doubted, were fully convinced. In his appeals to the
audience as to England's designs, and her Piratical
policy the consequences of the prevalence of the
wing doctrine of allowing Oregon and Texas to fall
into the hands of that National Robber,-of her pas
and present policy Of wholesale piracy-he was more
than happy. The flashing eye of the grey headed
veteran, the flushed cheek of the young-all told tina
he had touched a chord which net a ready response
On every point he touched, he was clear and cogen
producing proof and exhibiting testimony, to tn
utter confusion of his opponents. His exhibitions o
the inconsistency, contradictions, and British views o
our neighbor Journal, were extremely rich-even II
netae those who have long since transferred thei
share of the bantling 10 other hands.
We have again to add, that we hope all will en-
deavor to hear Mr.. Weber before election.

Death Of Jnckson.

ConlncthOfdt1On II TIE character and services OF An
DREW JACKSON, took place according to previous ar
rangement. In consequence of rain in the morning,
many people living at a distance from town were no
doubt deferred from attending, who otherwise would
have done So As it was, however, the assemblage
was respectable. The procession was formed at the
Court House, at 10 O'Clock, under the direction of
Chief Marshal BLAKE and his Assistants, as near as
possible according to the order previously adopted,
to-wit
1. A Band Of Music.
2. Officiating Clergyman and Orator.

A. Governors, Ex-Governors. and Officers of State.
5. The Committee of Arrangements.
8. Officers and Soldiers of the Revolution.
T.. Officers and Soldiers who served under Gen. Jack

g. Officers and Soldiers Of the Last War.
O. Judges and officers of the United States Court, and
Officers of Government.

IS. President and Common Council and officers.
IA. Masonic Fraternity.
Is. Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

The procession then, to the measure of solemn
music, the firing of minute guns and the tolling Of
bells, proceeded to the Court House square, where ar
engagements had been made for the speakers, and
where the ladies had assembled.
After appropriate music by the Bands, an eloquent
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr.. HIBBEN.
A. F. McRR1soNs Esq, then pronounced a Eulogs
on the life and character of the deceased, which wa.
marked by great accuracy in matter of fact and his
torical research, and which was listened to with mucl
pleasure and satisfaction.
The EulOgist was followed by the Rev. Mr.. CUR
LEY, of the First Presbyterian Church, who delivered
a short, but very interesting discourse, the basis d
which of which was the benevolent and religious
characteristics of the deceased, from which was de
duced a most powerful argument as to the necessity
even for the ~consummation of earthly glory and fell
city, of the one thing needfa. The speaker was lis
tened to with marked attention.
At the conclusion of the sermon, Prayer was offer
ed by the Rev. DIR. RIcHsioND, and, after further
music by the Bands, the assemblage dispersed, more
than ever alive to the great virtues of the eminen
man whose ~obsequies they had solemnized.

AMERICAN PRODUCE goes off in England at a rate
gratifying to the farmers IN the u. 5. Our surplus
of Beef and Pork, which Is shipped to Europe, finds d
good market, and one that is every year increasing In
extent. In the month of April past, there were over
three hundred tons Of American Cheese sold In one
city in England. The duty on lard being high here
%tofore, has to some extent prevented its expectation /;
that duty being now RENTED in England, will open
a market for lard, which will no doubt be productive
of beneficial results to the United States; and as long
as the tariff of 40 exists, our imports will most pro-
badly be less than our exports, and each year will
mark the increase of our prosperity. Cambridge
