u-We had a confide ,tial interview

nWe had confidential interview
wit our old friend Daniel Brown, Sat-
urday evening, on political matters gen
orally, and particularly in regard TO
those of this State. Daniel opened his
heart very freely, ard expressed, ms he
always does to us, his secret thoughts
aud feelings. For many yrnrs past he
has been in the habit Of making us
kind OF iathcr.c .confessor, to. hear his po.
ltical sins, but they are SO numerous
that we dare not presume to grant Inn
what JUNCTION there might be in our pow
er to bestow. Daniel informs us that
Gov. Allen has consented to be- the To-
cofoco candidate one more year, and
then he must retire from the public ser
vce,-providei he is not made U. s.
Senator. Daniel thinks that Ifthe prop
er means are taken, to approach and in
Hue nee Gov. Lawrence, that this palri-
otic und sel-sacrificing gentleman can
be induced permit his name TO be used
oRce more as candidate for the Office OF
Lieut.. Governor,-although Daniel says
that this small office 10 not what Gov.
Lawrence wants. Daniel says that the
Gov. would like to go TO Congress, and
then, if there should ever be another 10
coioco administration, he would strive
hard for Foreign mission. All this
was said to us by naniel in rather
confidential manner,-but as Daniel pro-
fcsses to labor for the good Of the people,
and is willing to make any sacrifice for
tfis objective ieel that il is best to
make known the programme Of future
proceedings,-and are confident that
Daniel will acquiese in this opinion, as
he is notoriousIy one Of the most amia-
Bile men living. He is only ambitious 10
be considered firm and faithful locoio-
co,--and he prefers this honor rather
than TO be regarded ns purified Saint.
Daniel says that he was the first Dor
rite martyr in Rhode lsland.-and that
as i, il an acknowledged belief that myrs
tyrdom will hereafter be rewarded, he
waits patiently Tor his recsompcnce. As
every laborer must have his particular
vineyard, and produce the results Of his
work,-Daniel looks with proud satislac-
ton TO Block Island, and the annual
election returns from that tam d isle Of
the sea. as the bright jewel which will
glitter in his coronet He considers
Block Island safe SO long as there isa
bag OF hay seed in the market.
