United States Senator.

The Honesdafe Democrat, in noticing the re-
marks of the Easton Wing in favor of the election
of A. Z. BRowN, Esq. as U. S. Senator, pays that
distinguished citizen the following merited COM
pliment:
"The whie and Journal, OF Easton, urges the
appointment of Alexander E. Bro,Un, ESQ. of that
borough, to the office of United States Senator
Mr.. Brown would honor the station. He is ripe
scholar, Sound. lawyer, an eloquent advocate
and orator, is p.ffectly acquainted with the inter-
ests ofthis commonwealth and Of the whole Union,
and is devoted I'd their promotion. Few men,
bers, if any, OF the Whig party OF this state have
rendered the cause of sound principles and honest
administration more uniform and valuable setvi-
ces than he.''
We heartily subscribe to the Sentiments Of the
Democrat. Pennsylvania has many talented and
noble Wings; but we know of none who Is more
capable or more deserving Of the distinction in
question than A. E. Bro,cn, Esq. of Northampton
county.

Changing their Time.

The Office holders at the capital have all ;,
once discovered that they are now and alwa,
have been, good Taylor men. The Washnp,o,
correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper writes a,
follows:
There have been many changes in political sen
timent within the last fifteen hours. to judge fron
the enthusiastic expressions of clerks under Gov
ernment, who yesterday were Cass and Bul.,
men. How they could acquire the cheek to hu,1,
for Taylor, changing their former tune, can be Ar
counted for only on one principle. viz "a desr.
to hold on to their situations. We would ra,b.,

the other side by the first shoot Of victory.

Salt River.

Our friend of the Hunterdon Gazette has des-
patch, by wheel. barrow express, from the head
waters of the above stream, announcing the arri-
val there of several prominent members of the
late Locofoco party and also stating that several
Casualties had happened to others while on
their way thfther. We extract from the despatch
as follows:
Although we have already here, several great u
men formerly belonging to the defunct democra-
cy,' yet we are panied to inform you that some
met with severe accidents while seeking thi s
nlace
MARCY, in his desire to secure part of the re-
naming spoils, was rather late in reaching the
port from which the Squadron sailed and on
reaching the dock he made nis-step, (not the
first one he has made,) and fen into the water
from which he was rescued with only the loss of
breath and few suspe nder buttons.-The latter
considerably damaged the Secretary's 5rseehes.
Polk, while on his way up the river, fell over
board, and caught snag which he clung to till
rescued. The wags say that he anticipated ride
up Salt River, when he vet oed the River and Har-
Dor Bill but be this it may, that act saved his
life in sense, and aided in destroying it in an
other.
DALLAS, who was on board steamer, thought
the gas wasn't high enough, and had it raised
HIGHER, but unfortunately it operated as bad as
did his Tariff, prostratng the whole cargo of locos
upon their faces. Some say the disconsolate fell

Great Snow storm,

From the following paragraph from the Erie
Advertiser, it will he that while we here had
a fine day for Election, our friends Of the Lake
country had to face the ptiless peltings of snow
storm:
1--WE have not done as well in this county as
anticipated. A tremendous snow storm set in on
Monday night, and continued with scarcely an
half hours abatement until Tuesday night, cover
ing the ground to the depth of two feet on the
highlands, and one foot on the lowlands. The
poll has not been as great in some of the districts
it otherwise would have been. Still there is an
increase over the October poll

England.-The Cotton market was steady, and
prices about the same. The Grain market was
without animaton-prices rather lower--and i'm

easy, and without material change. The Cholera
was making little headway-very few cases, and
those Of less fatal character. In Scotland the dis
ease was more general aud fatal. From Ireland
,hefe is nothing of interest or importance.
Frdnce.-The Constitution of the Republic has
received the sanction of The National Assembly.
A display of public solemnities was to accompany
the formal proclamation of the Constitution. The
next great contest is TO be the election Of Pres-

making active exeftiohs for the Office.

whom the National Convention may nominate. still
we cannot refrain from expressing the ardent hope
that our dear old leader may again be placed at
the head Of our ranks Though we love him, as
children love venerated parent, it is not this i'm
pulse alone which Influences us. Right gladly
would we give up our personal predictions Tor
the good Of the party, but we do not think that the
exigencies of the present demand the sacrhce
We think Henry Clay far stronger than any other
man whom the party can run; and we sincerely
believe that if the Wings cannot elect him next
fall, they can elect no man. j. w. w.
