Dying Of Joy.-A New York lette. in
te Philadelphia Inquirer says: a
GA death from sudden and unexpected
joy occurred here yesterday. A poor Ger
man emigrant who left the home of his fa-
theirs and all the associations of long life,
to seek the new world with the view to bet
ter his fortune, actually was unable to bear
the shock Of seeing well beloved brother.
The moment his eye fell on his countenance
his frame was convulsed-he swooned with
ioy-sunk and died. q The fond and devot-
ed heart had ceased to beat, and its posses
sor had at last found quietude in that place
where the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are at rest. ;" 3. ' Il.

WASHINGTON HUNT.

The following card appears as an advertise
ment in several of the New York papers of Tues.
day, signed by Caleb s. Woodruff, John A. Ste
vens, Hiram Ketchum, and other prominent
Wings.
Having perceived that erroneous reports ha We .been
indusousy circulated to the prejudice OF Mr.. w ash
ingou Hunt take leave our fellow citizens,
partly from personal intercourse and partly from state
meus of common friends that assured of his en-
tire devotion the National Principles of Union car
red by the recent acts OF Congress- to the supre-
macy of the Constitution and the Laws 10 reference
not only to the Anti-Rent movement, but to every
movement adverse the saceduess OF contracts to
the protection OF property and labor and that ne ad-
verse to all resistance the Laws OF the Country en-
acted by the Representatives OF the People, whether in
Congress, or in the State Legislature"
The statement is one of no small import, and
we heartily wish that Mr.. Hunts own public de-
clarations had been as satisfactory, We do not
doubt that his own feelings and opinions would
have prompted declarations equally strong; but,
in yielding to the pressure from Without" he
allowed himself to be crowded almost, if not en-
tirely into the ranks of the Sewardes. We nope,
now that the election is over he will return to his
first convictions.

MR. BROOKS OF NEW YORK.

Not long ago we published the brief but excel
lent address, in which the Hon. James Brooks
accepted the Wing nomination for reelection to
Congress. We have now the pleasure of pub
fishing his equally to be commended speech,
thanking his constituents for accomplishing what
they undertook in his and their own behalf:
An immense crowd having on Tuesday evening as
sembIed from different wards in the District, OF their
way to congratulate Hon James Brooks upon his re-
election by overwhelming majority, Mr.. Brooks,
the cheering subsiding, in substance said:
"My friends: No words of mine express the graf
itude ard thauktuness feel at this moment; and yet
it is no. for the office you handsomely give ne,
for its honours but that through you have shown
to others how Representative in Congress may dare
to acfor his country as we'll as for his constituency,
and that doing right is doing what popular have,
you know, been most bitterly assaled Tor my course
III Congress upon the excing sectional questions which
un5appily divide US from portion OF orr common
coEntymen. 10, here you bring me your cheering YER
dict appreciation. have been threatened with po-
ljtical annihaton unless would promise to re open
these dangerous questions, and again array the North
against the South Lo here also your voice, trumpet
tongued, which is OF LOUD accord with the feeble mo-
of mine Your verdict GRANTEES and gaddens me, but
it will cheer every Union everywhere; and it will
encourage every Union man, amid caL1or and outcry
aud threat TO look up to the Union as the Pole Star
for Popularity, well as for Safety and Patriotism.
To win your appreciation have catered to appetite.
pandered passion responded to no SANDER upon
my politics or my business. My hand is signed TO no
pledge, though many have been rendered But you
have taken me- as you found me- upon trust, and the
more for that very confidence will try most uuhtully
TO YOU"
The people then separated amid the loudest sort
cheering.
Would that there were such public men as
Mr.. Brooks, in the North, than there are !! Well
may he be proud OF the position in which he stands
before the people of New York and of the United
States His election should satisfy the tempori-
GERS with Abolitionsm that they not only pander
to wicked and most dangerous policy of agta-
ton, but mistake the popular sentiment they wish
TO conciliate We do not doubt that the New
York Tribune in its rage at Washington Hunts
defeat rightly ascrbes the result to the Ma
tional Wings" Mr. Hunt committed the error of
thinking that none but the anti-slavery votes were
in doubt and in stretching his net rather too care
fully to catch them, he slipped it off from many
that would have been perfectly safe, had he retain
ed his first position. His failure is one of those
hard lessons which the foolish attempts of Thur
low Weed, VIM. H. Seward and Horace Greeley,
to abotonize the Northern Wing party have
forced that party to learn. May it profit hereaf-
ter by the teachings of the ballot box.

We are gratihed to state that arrangement has
been made with Mr.. w. G. Bishop, who is to be as
sisted by B. P. Worcester, TO furnish through reports
of the debates and proceed ngs OF the Virginia Reform
Convention to re-assemble 10 January.
Mr.. Bishop is extensively known as one OF the most
succeesfu reporters in the county and we doubt moi
the debates of the Virginia Convention under his di
roction will be reported in highly satisfactory man
-Repubiican.
The above arrangement has been made by the CLERK
Of lie Convent ion under the direction OF its PRESIDENT
in &C cordance with the resolution adopted on the day
OF adjournment. We ieel fully justified in endorsing
all tlat the Republican has said ,-Eoquirer.
Under the resolution adopted by the Conven-
ton before its adjournment it will be the duty of
the Reporter to furnish facilities to the editors Of
the city press, for taking copies of the reports,
and the Convention will probably secure their
entire publication in at least two of the political
papers. In some form or other, we shall keep the
readers of the Times fully acquainted with the pro-
ceedngs of the law-unmakers.

INTRODUCTION.--On the 18th of May ,al835,
DR.. Brandreth, for the first time, made known the
United States the CELEBRATED BRANDRETH
! VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. He lett them
| to stand or fall by their merits. Ae made al
fusion to any ether medicine; simple facts stated
and the following principle laid down the Bran
dethian Theory viz that all diseases whether Of the
stomach bowels enlargement OF line joints rheumatic
affections, cuaneous, eruptons dyspeptic complaints,
or whatever other forms such local disease puts on,
were nothing more than many symptoms of dsor-
dered of the constitution and that his pills which
were discovered in England in ISL were medicine
thai had the effect ofresioring the constitution to health
and vigor simply by removing all bad and acrimonious
humors from the blood by the stomach and bowels.
The American public have made tiia of this medi
for nearly ten years. and have found that the ned-
cine is not alihumbug. The patronage Dr. Brandreth
daily experiences proves that the medicine gives uni
versal satisfaction.

TIE following account, FtdIii the Natcte5 CotiA
rier, OF speech delivered by Col. Jefferson Da-
Wis at Vicksburg, shows that he is in as great d-
emma as the two worthy Senators who cast the
vote of Virginia against the compromise. He,
like them, argues to prove the South degraded
and fallen, but when pushed to the sticking point
of Dsunion, he and they drawback with an In
stnctive shudder. We concur entirely in the
remarks of the Courier upon this anomalous and
ludicrous position of men who assume to be guides
of public opinion:
"The Vicksburg Wing brings US account OF this
penteman's speech and we regret to say that Rumor
has been sadly mistaken. That saucY dame had 1t
that Senator Davis would not assist in the WORK OF a-
tatng the State, either to accomplish oissoot0n OF ne
Union, or the elevation OF Gov Qultnan 10 e ,. oe
nate The Senator however declared mosf July that ne
was opposed to dsunon In strange contrast with this
assertion appears his willingness to speak at meetings
designed evidently prepare the people ior secession
Colonel Davis pronounced Vicksburg the admission
of California TO be UNCONSTITUTIONAL and great aggres-
sion. The Boundary BILL the Utah and New Mexico
bills he also declared to be insults and aggressons
Strange is it that these bills should nave oeen passeo by
| Southern votes; every aboltonist and many OF the
| more moderate free soil voting against them ii
company with ultra, &c 80 or fight" gentlemen
"The Wing declares that as far as remedies were
concerned the speech Of Col Davis was riddle and
| enigma No one who heard him could doubt that he
was positively afraid to take a position. He plainly
waited for the wagon, and seemed to have especia
horror OF getting ahead OF the music. No wonder then
that his is sadly subject to Misrepresentation
he is explicit than OH the occasion alluded
| to.
"For our own part we confess proestationsSof ex-
IRENE love for the Union and dsnias OF being In ia.
of dsunion, seem sadly out of place, when coupled
with declarations that unconstitutional and insulting
aggressions have been heaped mountain high upon the
South II we believed the latter, and were willing to
enlist in crusade of agitation in order to make the
people believe it, too, should omit such proesation
and denals for fear that sincerity or sanity would
