0~TThe Union contains full report of the re-
ply of Mr.. Cass to the antiwar speech of Mr.. CAL
houn. Il occupies over nine spacious columns. MIR.
Cass is in favor of vigorous prosecution of the war;
and opposed to the plan laid down by Mr.. Calhoun.
He regretted the remarks of Mr. Calhoun as to our
inability to prosecute the successfully, because OF
its influences in Mexico He thought Mr.. Calhoun's
defensive plan expensive than offensive one,
and it would protract the rather than lead to
speedy termination of it. We cannot promise TO
publish any of these important speeches in full but
propose to give our readers complete analysis OF
them at carly day.

OLD TIMEs.-When Mr.. Madison, under the Span

bile, there were members of Congress who exclaimed
"iniustce to Spain," as they now do injustice tc

lowing remarks, which apply with equal force to the
Mexican war:
"Alow me, sir, to express my admiration at tho

GS-Certain wing editors, under the garb of appa-
rent friendly solictude, have attempted place S. C.
Wilson of Charlottesville, in equvocal position in
regard to the next nomination for Congress from the
9Th district The following paragraph from the Craw.
louisville Press will show the futility of wing notions
and hopes. Mr.. w. stands just where we expected
to find him.
S. c. WLLsoN-The last Review states, that the
name of this gentleman was announced for Congress
without his knowledge consents by personal friend
and well wisher. This explanation ii deems :" an act
of justice to COL Wilson and to counteract the con-
sructon given to that announcement by the Peoples
Press, as being done at the special instance of Mr.
Wilson" &c.
We had ground for thinking SO, under the circum-
stances; and indeed, according to the Reviews own
confession, it was the impression Of the editor, that
the announcement made by authority of Mr..
Wilson, until otherwise informed by that gentleman
personally.
Mr.. Wilson does not design being candidate, il
construe the review arighily, unless he should be
the choice of the Democratic will, fairly expressed

To PRINTERS The COMPOSITION RoLLER.-When

has some reason to believe that it at this place,
and in this Office. In October, 1929 journeyman
printer came here from Dublin. He had come by the
way of Quebec, Montreal and Toronto. He en-
ployed for few weeks, during which he stated to the
writer that before he left Dublin, the balls were
thrown aside and composition rollers substituted The
frame, glue, and iznelass and treacle, he called
it, were procured for him, and he made roller which
did good work. The writer at the time mentioned the
circumstance in letters several distant printers

CrIt is stated that new paper is about to appear
at Washington to advocate conservative principles
and form sort of juste milieu or doctrindire party
between the extreme left and right side of the House
The moderate Wings and conservative Democrats will
be its principal supporters. Gen. Duff Green the edi-
tor en- chef Prospectuses will be out in day or two
The paper will, of course, hold middle ground be-
tween the ntelgencer and the Union; rather be in
opposition to both of them. From the known ability
Of Duff Green, little doubt exist but that it will
prove efficient in the advocacy of moderate principles
He will be ant-abolitionst, ant-war, moderate tariff
and moderation and measure in everything.

ect of repairing the damages on the National road in

pose that the County Commissioners Immediately
cause the road to be repaired and that the county be
taxed to meet the necessary expenditure. Such q
proceeding we consider just and legal, and further
that it need not prevent those able from lending

0FSome newspaper squi5s the women Of Pennsyl-
vania who have recently held meetings about the abo
lition of capital punishment. 1t says:
"They had much better be discussing the merits of
apple plain suet dumplings the good of
dressing neatly and unostentatously, rather than
showily and expensively. What have women to do
with capital punishment"
Upon which the Pa. Ledger observes:
As women are liable to be hanged in Pennsylvania
we think they have great deal to do with capital
punishment. One is under sentence Of death in
this city. Suet dumplings and apple buildings may
be very interesting subjects for discussion but
der enjoy them properly. it is quite necessary that
the should keep their necks in condition to
be able to swallow them.

Congress-.

The Senate, On the 18th, continued its infamous
proceedings in relation to the washington Union"
its editor and reporters. The question was on the
adoption Of Yulees resolutions. proposing TO expel
the editor from the usual privileges of the Senate
Of his publication of alleged libelous
nuri.Gtion; and to exclude the reporters from the
gallery for alleged partial reports in certain in
stance The reporter, however, having satisfactorily
shown that the charge of partality groundless,
so much of the resolution related to him with
drawn by the mover The war upon the editor was
then commenced and carried on with Mexican fury
and about equal effect, and resulted in regular
pitched battle among Senators themselves Calhoun,
and his faction, aided by Webster the principal
assailants, and Allen and Turney the defenders of
editor Richie. The point of the matter was the as
sault of Turney upon Calhoun, who was goaded to
Madness particularly by the charge that he Calhoun
had organized balance-of-power party in the Senate
which he welded at will to carry out his designs.
Mr. c. professed the greatest in reference
any such thing and denied the imputatOn that he was
ever Lad been aspirant for the Presidency.
The debate ended it began. The Senators had so
many hard things to say of another, that they had
not time to settle the question to Mr. Richie.
We consider this whole matter, far as the Senate
and Mr.. Richie are concerned, to be infamous. 1t
exceeds the old sedition laws and only be match
ed by the dark dongs and abomnable tyranny Of the
hated Senate of Venice. The result of it will surely
be as it ought make friends for Richie among the
people. They never will sanction such high-handed
attempt to gag the press, the freedom of which is
every day becoming more necessary antidote to
the corruption of politicians.
