Right heartily do we welcome the return of
JOHN BELL as q. S. Senator from Tennessee.
AS a man, he is true and able; as Wing, he
is faithful and fearless. After serving long
and usefully in Congress, where he rose to
the station of Speaker of the house, he was
called by Gen. HARRISON to seat in his Cabinet
as Secretary of War-a Office which he filled
with credit and spurned when the treachery
and baseness of John Tyler rendered it no
longer a post of honor. He has since remain
ed in private life until called by his fellow
citizens of Davidson County to a seat in the
present House of Representatives OF Iennes-
see. He was wanted for Speaker, but sick
ness in his family detained him away from
the organization of the House. That de-
tention was fortunate for the country. He
would doubtless have been chosen Senator at
once, but for the conflicting claims of East
and West Tennessee, and the fact that the
Middle District, in which he resides, has al
most always had one Senator at least.
Of the six Statesmen composing Gen.
Harrison's Cabinet, four will meet again in the
new u. S. Senate on its assembling-viz j;
Messrs. WEBSTER OF Mass. CRIrTENDEN of Ky.
BADGER of N. C. and BELL of Tennessee
Of the other two, Mr.. EWING of Ohio is pretty
certain to come into the next Senate, and Mr..
GRANGER of our State would have been cho
sen Controller this month by an over xhelm-
ing vote had he not peremptoriy declined,
Gas Mr.. Fillmore did not desire the post and
only accepted it because he was needed.)-
These are the Harrison Cabinet-where is
John Tyler s-N. Y. Tribune.

The Rechabite.

This excellent paper has been discontinued,
and its list of subscribers transferred to the
New England Washingtonian. Mr.. Cobb, in
his valedictory, says, he has been obliged to
do this because his receipts did not equal his
expenditures. He says he is satisfied that the
order at present is not large enough to sustain
so large paper, devoted entirely 10 its inter-
est, thus preventing it from gaining circula-
t;on generally ; and on the whole thinks it is
hardly necessary, as the interest OF the order
can be sustained by a paper devoted to the
temperance cause generally

become free at the age of twenty EIGHT, and,
during their service, were to be taught to read,
write, and cypher. Thus, instead OF being
thrown upon the community, ignorant and
unprepared, as would be the case by immediate
emancipation, they would have entered upon
the possession of their freedom, capable. IN
some degree, of enjoying it. After hard
struggle, the system was defeated, and l re-
greet it extremity, as, if it had been then adopt
ed, our State would be nearly rid OF that re-
proach. :,
Since that epoch, scheme OF unmiXed
benevolence has sprung up, which, II II hao
existed at that time, would have ooViateo one
of the greatest objections which was maze TO
Gradual emancipation, which was the con-
tinuance of the emancipated slaves to abide
amongst u.s. That scheme is the American
Colonization Society. About tyenty-eight
wears ago. few individuals, myself among
them, met together in the city of Washington,
and laid the foundations OF that society. 1t
has gone on amidst extraordinary difficulties
and trials, sustaining itself almost entirely, by
spontaneous and voluntary contributions,
from individual benevolence, without scarcely
any aid from Government. The Colonies,
planted under its auspices, are now well es-
tablished communities, with churches schools
and other institutions appertalning TO the
civilized state. They have made successful
war in repelling attacks and nvasions BY their
barbarous and savage neighbors. They nave
made treaties, annexed territories to their do
miniop. and are blessed with free represen-
tative government. recently read message
from one of their Governors to their Leglsla-
ture, which, in point of composition, and in
careful attention to the public affairs OF their
Republic, would compare advantageously
with the messages of the Governors OF our
own States.

The Flour Mill in this village was discov-

guished, with very trifing damage.

Unparalleled Honesty.

Our Postmaster informs US that his umbrel-
la was taken some four weeks since from his
office, and returned during the last Storm
We really have some hopes of the world, or
rather the people in it. What could be more
honest than to return a borrowed umbrella
during a rain Storm 1t is so singular that we
almost fear that it may prove to be case of
absence Of mind.

Is it SO ?

A writer in the Bangor Gazette says, 81
suppose no one can doubt that, on an average,
two murders per annum have boon committed
in the city of Bangor, for the last 10 years
and very little is said on the subject by the
Bangor press" If this be the fact,-if MUIR
ders are SO common in that little city, and the
press and the magistracy are so faithless on
the subject, Bangor must be dangerous place
to visit or abide in. Were such story told
of Vicksburg, Miss, we should all agree that
the South is sadly undivided and immoral.
Query-does a fear to enforce the law against
intemperance lead the way to fear to enforce
the law against other vices and crimes-even
against murder We are fallen on evil times
when it is hazardous to enforce the laws
against any class Of offenders.-Banmer.
