.4necdoie of Locotoco Member Of Congress We
see that Mr.. Petit, [says the Louisville Journal,
the member Of Congress. from Indiana, who, at the
commencement Of each session, makes an infdel
speech upon the floor Of the House Of Represen-
tatives against employing a chaplain, is candi-
date for reelection. This being the case, we feel
called on to make statement in regard to this
mscreant, which we received from gentleman
of the first respecta bility, who was eye and ear
witness of the occurrences to which the statement
refers. The facts are monstrous as to seem al
most incredible, but still they are facts.
In the summer of ls46, Petit was travelling on
board steamboat on the Ohio, in company with
his wife and one more children. One night he
was engaged, as usual at the card-table, and dis
playing, as usual, his vulgar and offensive charac-
teristics, drinking cocktail after g cocktail in
rapid succession, and swearing like any other
blackguard, when he received a message from his
wife informing him that one of their children was
very sick, and asking him to come into the ladies'
cabin. He paid no attention to the message, and
il was in a few minutes repeated, with represen-
tation from his wife that their child was dying.
Even then he would not leave the card-table, but
despatched the messenger with oaths, and with
the rudest abuse Of the female sex. Those who
played with him at cards, happening to be gentle
men, Immediately left the table, and the brute then
took seat at table with blackegs where he
continued playing cards for some time. At length
the child growing worse and worse, lit had con
vulsions,l and the card party being broken up, h
went into the cabin; but, although he found hi
child in the most alarming condition, and his wifi
in a state bordering on distractions the drunker
wretch, paying no attention to either, went int
his state-room and soon fell asleep, whilst uttcl
