Under our administration OF the Patent Office, It was
always impartial between the claims OF Mr. Morse and
others claiming improvements in the telegraph. We
granted several patents for improvements in that nsu
ment, which Mr. Morse alleged conficted with his in
ventons, Of which, we believe he has since de-
feated by injunction. We always endeavoed to act i'm
partially between all parties whose interests concted,
and we are sure did intentional injustice to no one.
II Mr. Brooks thinks we acted otherwise, and has
any confidence in the charge which he has insnuated
through his newspaper let him take measures TO show it.
We are ready to meet him whenever he shall make the

will scarcely be believed that any press which

When the telegraph informed us that Cobb the southern

fanatic article, that it abures the party term. It pro-

Why reproach the South for its sectional feelings
during the present session. They voted for Cobb be-
cause he was the nominee OF the democratic party and
he owed that nomination hrs high qualifications for
Speaker of the House. But was he the only man for
whom the southern members voted. Did they not run
upon Mr. Brown, until he was on the very verge OF the
goal when his own transactions with these free soil men
defeated his election
For our own part say freely. that there are demo-
Gratis from both sections Of the country who qualified

glorious Union and TO the great compromises Of

There are democrats whose are brought for
ward on the roll and presented prominently for whom
would be proud to yo,e although they do from
the South.
