trucking to the Free Sellers. He is not spar

in the Southern States. But such conduct

gives the following brief account of Mr..
Brown, the done brown"
Impudence. cunning, and talent for in
trigue, alone, have enabled Mr.. Brown to
make rather a conspicuous figure in the Dem
ocre tic ranks, during the past twelve years.
He obtained the Office of Secretary of State,
as the result of bargain which deprived the
country of the services of the lamented No
BILE in the United States Senate. The secre-
taryship gave him prominence. As the advo-
cate of the liquor side of the temperance
question. he obtained a seat in the Legisla-
ture. He was next elected to Congress from
this district, and by management procured
the appointment of Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral from Mr.. Polk. At the close of Mr..
Folks administration, he resigned, and then
falsely proclaimed that he was the q first vic
tim" of this most proscriptive administration !!
He returned, and, by intrigue and manage
ment, cheatedyrhe other aspirants out of the
nomination for Congress, and was elected, of
course, there being large Democratic major
ity in the district.

nTIf the Washington Republic does not
wind up Father Richie of the Union, it will
be singular. Ritchie's whole endeavor is to
prove the Administration everything but what
it should be. The Republic takes him up
every attack he makes, and not only exhibits
the falsity and folly of Ritchle's statements.
but proves the old gentleman very near akin
to knave. The Republic is edited with
ability, and should be in the hands of every
Wing during these times.

DiSumIOn.

President Taylor, in his Message, takes a
decided and patriotic stand against disunion.
Few of our readers, we Judge, know really
how far this spirit of disunion has engrafted
itself in Southern public sentiment. 1t is no
longer the half-acknowIedged halfconcealed
spirit of few-but it has assumed the bold
form of public opinion expressed in Congress
by representatives Of a portion of the people.
During the late contest for Speaker, the dis
union opinion was in the mouths of half
dozen Southern members. 1t was boldly de-
clared, that unless such and such a course
should be adopted, the South would 90 in for
disunion. 1t has been held as a threat over
Northern members, that if they did not sue
cumb to the wishes Of the South, disunion
would be the consequence. That these South
ern members fully represent the sentiment of
the South, no one will pretend to believe
but that they are nursing feeling which it
becomes every true patriot to contemn, no
one will deny. Gen. Taylor, with his char
acteristic force and boldness, has firmly en-
tered his protest against disunion. He will
support no measure embodying the idea. If
the Southern Democratic dsunionists rely
upon him because he is a Southern man,
they will find themselves mistaken. The old
soldier, the man who has been fighting for
his country nearly half century, will do
nothing to uphold disunion. His Message is
explicit on this point. He represents IN his
language the sentiments of the Wing party,
and they will support him ever in preserving
the Union as it is. Southern Democrats may,
by having the majority in Congress, pass a
bill tending to the future dissolution of the
Union, but after reading the Presidents Mes
sage, the people can feel a perfect content
ment in the idea that they have a ruler, who
will never give his consent to measures of this
nature.
But we view these disunion cries of South
ern Democrats, as mere wind. Suppose they
are determined on dissolution, will the people
permit itl The shareholders number but
one fourth of the free white voters Of the
slave States. Think you, that this one-fourth
can govern the other three-fourths2 That
the eight hundred thousand adult freemen of
the slave States, will be governed by the two
hundred thousand shareholders? No! Let
them cry disunion. We are yet too near the
days of the Revolution, to permit these cries
to have their effect. We are not TO be fright
ened by the repeated threats of disunion,
yelped out in Congress lately, to frighten
Northern Wings. If there were any fears,
they would be dispelled by Gen. Tay Ior's
Message.

ssDeath scene.

Dying, still slowly dying,
As the hours OF night rode by,
She had lain since the light of sunset
Was red on the evening sky;
Till after the middle watches.
As we softly near her trod,
When her soul from its prison letters
Was looSed by the hand of God.
One moment her pale lips trembled
With the triumph she might not tell,
As the light of the life immortal
On her spirits vision fell
Then the lock of rapture faded,
And the beautiful smile was faint,
As that in some convent picture
On the face of dying saint.
And we feltin the lonesome midnight,
As we saFby the silent dead
What ligfit on the path going downward
The feet of the righteous shed
When We thought how with faith unshrinkir
She came to the Jordan's tide,
And taking the hand OF tbs Savior,
Went up on the heavenly side.

Probate Judge.

Last week, in the House of the Legislature.
the bill regulating the pay of the Probate
Judge of Vanderburgh county was read a
second time; when
Mr.. Murray moved that the additional dol
lar per day 10 be paid to said judge, be paid
out of the county treasury.
Mr.. Greenhouse said that he was instruct
ed to increase the pay of the Probate Judge
of his county, to three dollars per day. In
order to render the bill acceptable to the
House, he had reduced the time of holding
the Court, at each session, from twelve to
eight days. Twelve days service at two dol.
lars per day, was twenty-tour dollars SO also
was eight days service at three dollars. He
could not conceive how the State Treasury
could suffer by the operation, and he hoped
the amendment would not be adopted.
The amendment was not adopted; yeas As,
nays As.
Mr.. Chandler moved to inser. the county
of Warren.
Mr.. Murray moved to commit the bill,
with instructions to make the law general.
Mr.. Allen moved to postpone until the 1st
of February, 1850.
Mr.. Graves moved to lay on the table,
which motion prevailed.
