him but two days since his disease took unexpsct-

Kearny was born in Newark, New Jersey, about the
year 1793 and thus in his 55th year at the time
his death He entered the army, as Lieutenant in
1872 fought at Queenstop, and served through the
with credit. He made Msjo in 1924, q Lieut.

social system. And, then that mercantile busi-
ness, technically known by the name ofcommerce,
is 1t not to the people Of this country the very
AIR we breathe Is 1t not the outlet of industry
he source of national and individual wealth-the
main element of our greatness! And by this
much maligned commerce, Is not every trade and
profession benefited, from the woodman under
whose sturdy stroke falls the gigantic oak, which
forms the RIBS of the tall rchantman that
ploughs the sea- to the pilot who guides her proudly
into port-,hrough all the stages of her building,
fading, freightlng, navigating, and consignment
But, really, this is attempting to demonstrate wha
is too automatic to be demonstrable.
But it is not commerce alone that prov okes the
wrath Of Mr.. Brisbane, and the philosophers of
his school, The institution OF marriage, and the
doctrine of the Immortality Ct the soul, excite
their special adherence. Their views of mar
rage, # carried out, would introduce a system OF
bestal atrocicity, which would not be tolerated In
any decently ordered menagere. To comment On
such system, in community like this, Is wholly
unnecessary. To call atentiOl to 1t, Is quite
sufficient TO provoke its universal and indignant
| condemnation.
Mr. Greeley the exponent of these socias,
doctrines, and the disciple of Fourier and Brs-
bane, has been recently nominated as the candi-
date of the wings for the sixth Congressional dis
tnct in this cry. The utilization in the Tribune,
of this letter from M. Brisbane may, therefore, be
regarded as important at this moment, as shadow.

be guided in Congress. 1t will be for the people
Of that district to determine whether they will en-

Brisbane, opposition to commerce, in opposition
to the institution of marriage, and In condemna.

For our own part, we should like well enough to
see our contemporary in the House of Representa-

which occurred yesterday are very rare. woman,
lately arrived from Ireland was found yesterday in
infant, which had expired, in all probability from
posure and the wants Of nourishment to sustain
nature. She was taken in charge by the police of the
FIRST ward and her wants attended to. 1t really seems
strange that in this civilized community those who
seek an asylum from the oppression of the tyraut

cases belonging to the Commissioners of Emigration
and should be properly attended to, instead of being
allowed to wander through the streets, bearing in her

Mr.. BRooKs AND HIS NOMINATION. MIR. James
Brooks OF the nominees OF the wings, as a can
ddate TO represent the Sixth district In Congress-
and his friends, STRIVING hard to neutralize the
effect Of the TRADE of abuse which teemed from his
paper, the E1press, against Ireland and the Irish
short time since. We have no doubt that Mr..
Brooks regrets sincerely his conduct in that matter
ior 1t cannotbe doubted that the nveterate hostility
which he displayed towards this class of our fellow
citizens, and his repeated and strenuous efforts TO
heap rldicule on the Irish Directory, and to pre-
vent any aid or assistance being gwen TO Ireland
by Americans, have made deep and lasting I'M
piessIon on the Irish voters of New York He has
good reason therefore, feel that his conduct on
that occasion will be remembered on the 9TH of
November Mr.. Brooks cannot bu, be aware III At he
and his paper were heartily groaned by the Irish
at Vauxhall Garden, on more than one occasion
and lest the Irish should forget the treatment which
they received at his hands, we understand that
all the articles on Ireland which have appeared
in his paper, will be published IN pamphlet form,
and distributed throughout the Sixth district on
the day Of election.
