Hon. Henry johnson.

The democratic papers in the Second
District have this gentleman's mamie at
the head OF their columns ms the 'People's
Candidate for Congress-" and state that y
letter has been received from HIM in
winch he expresses his willingness to
"serve the District if elected"
Now what is the reason why tie 20
patriotic democratic prints fail to give
TINS letter to the public. We should like
70 see Ito read ito see its dats--to
know whether it was datS Jefoyc or litter

We do not believe that ex-Gov. John
son VIII consent to run against the ajom-
NEE oil a fair and regularly constituted
wing Convention. But we do b4lieve
that those democratic papers ,hat| are
using his name are doing so withou; au-
thorlty, aud in n manner calculated to
his feelings deeply. When: we
see a letter from him, written aftdr he
was apprised Of the proceedings 81 the
Donaldsonville Convention, saving sthat
ne ~'D run, then we shall believes the
in the democratic prints to
eiiect-but not till then. Again,
ask-why do not these democratic
editors produce their authority

All a lucky thought Strikes us, Per

Adjournment of Congress.

BY the telegraph We earn that Congress
is to adjourn on the 30th of this month
1t will then have been almost ten months
in session, and the county has passed
through scenes of excitement during the
time which, it is to be hoped, will never be
Witnessed again-all caused by the angry
sectional discussions in the two bodies.
As the chief causes Of the delay i'll the
progress of the business of the nation have
been removed by the passage of measures
Of compromise and Cancellation, we may
now look for a very rapid despatcleof the
legitimate work of Congress. We ar.
IDENTIFY trust that something may be done
to remedy the confessed defects in the
postal arrangements of the nation. Al
now constituted, our post office organiza-
ton is scarcely better than a miserable bur.
lesgue on order and neutrality-suspicious..

Union, and especially in Louisiana. #
this Gan be done, anaSMr. Dowus's bin

State, can only be got through, we, of the
Sugar State, will be able to felicitate orf-
selves that the long session has not been
entirely barren of good results to us.

California Delegati0n.

The California Senators and Represcr.
tatives have been admitted to their seats IN
Congress. W. congratulate our old friend
GW1N. His ''luck" is extraordinary and
had 1t belallen any other than u man ofhis
extraordinary energy would have been per-
iectly inexplicable. The Doctor left Mis-.
slsslppl, some years since, a completely
broken down democratic politician. He
removed to New Orleans where he receiv-
cd The appointment of superintendent of
the building Of the New Custom House.
Shortly after the tGection of Gen. Tavlor
ne resigned his Office, went to California,
became q distinguished man irGhe land of
Aurlfera, and was elected to the IT. 8
Senate. In addition to this we understand
thai some handsome operations in that
country, retrieved, i'll a great
measure, his somewhat dilapidated for
tunes. As we cannot wish the Doctor
success politically, we are glad that he has
prospered pecuniariiv.

Death Of Bishop EaScom.

Bishop Bascom died at Louisville on
Saturday, the 18th instant. The whole
country will regret to hear of the decease
OF tins eminent dlvine-this truly great and
goodman. He was a mar of lofty and
enlarged views of his holy calling-pos-
sessed a powerful intellect, and an elo-
quence at once irresistible and captivating.
In his death, the cause of religion, as well
as the Methodist Church, lost one Of its
Iirnlest pillars and brirhtest ornaments
