Sirs: have had the pleasure OF spending
few minutes in conversation with The Hon. I.
late indisposltion.
Indiana loses, after the 4th Of March next,
one OF her mos, talented sons, and the Senate
Of the United states ono OF her most accom-
lished members, aud an orator Of no uncommon
eloquence. Few gentlemen in the Senate, or
elsewhere, can equal Mr.. flanagan, and n,
ready debater, with the kindest feelings Tor all,
he will leave no superior behind him.
Ii is believed that Mr.. Hanncgan contcm
plates locating himself in some q The Southern
States, 10 practise his profession. No matter
where this renowned champion locates his iu-
ture destiny, Indiana may well be proud Of The
course of her Democratic Senator III days that
are past; she will look back with pride at The
boldncss OF her ;ayori c ION in rcsculng tho
Huosicr State from the dominion of Whiegcry.
No man did more al the recent contest for The
Democracy than did Senator flanagan, and no
man has been so lily requi,ed. The South gains
brave defender Of her interests III A;r Hannc-
CAMS retiring from The Senate. We hail his
advent among u. and may his expectations be
more than realized ia his new location. His
successor. Governor WNlcomb, am told, is
man Of talents |, matters not if he is; i. will
take mn OF more than ten talents 10 ill The
place that ir, flanagan vaca!es. We nope
the gallant Hoosier State Will not suffer by the
exchange
We have rumor upon rumor of the forma-
ton of the new Cabinet. The last is, tliat Jo-
seph Gales, Esq, viii receive the appointment
as Secretary OF state. This would be good

for such station as an Editor. and that Editor
a man Of talent, OF The first grade. Be This
rumur true or not, well remember the answer
of Mr Clay il 1874 to some friends, when MIR.
Gales WIS also named for the same place, in
case OF hYclecton; he remarked, that he would
not say 'what he would do IN case of
