The Plymouth pilot. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1851-1852, 1851-07-30

A JusT AND MERITED REBUKE.-At
the late whig county meeting held a Or
wigsburg, the Chairman of the meeting
publicly asserted that the recent compro-
mise or adjustment laws passed by Con-
gress were whig measures, and that the
democratic Senators gave those measures
but feeble suPport,--The wild statement
was handsomely rebuked By the Hon. ].
Cooper, who was present, i'll, as near as
we can recolect, language III substance
as follows:
Mr.. Chairman:-1t is proper and right
| should correct an error into which the
chairman Of TINS meeting has fallen, no
doubt inadvertently, in making the state-
ment that the democratic Senators did
not take prominent position In the
enactment of recent Union measures pas
sed by Congress, known as the comPro-
mise or adjustment laws. 1t is right tc
correct such d statement at this time, be-
cause the record refuteS it, and because
our opponents would take advantage of
such a misstatemtnt. The fact is, that
of the Northern Senators. there were but
two wings that voted for those measures.
One was the Hon. Daniel Webster. the
other was the humble individual who
now addresses YOU; while of the North
ern democratic Senators, large majority
of them sustained those measures. Our
democratic friends are entitled 10 this
credit, if credit it be called. for SIM
pie discharge of duty and manifestation
of fealty 10 our Constitution and the
Union. | think, sir, that this correction
is due, that no charge may be made
against US of Improperly representing the
history of the recent action of Congress
on this important subject.-POttSUiILe

FATAL DUEL-On last Saturday, behind the
Barracks at New Orleans, a duel took place be-
tween DR.. Tnos. HuNT Ia brother of RANDALL
| HuNr) and J. W. FRosT, editor of the Crescent.
The weapons were double barrel shot guns loaded
with ball, and at the second fire, the latter gen.
tleman fell, shot through the lungs, and survived
but a few moments. The difficulty arose through
political altercation-one of the weakest and last
reasons that should induce one man to seek the life
of another. We can easily imagine reasons for a
course like this-such as a long, determined and
deliberate design on the part of one person to effect
the ruin of another-bEt no wrong of much less
magnitude. Mr.. FRosr was the challenger; he
is spoken of as a gentleman of high honor and mo-
raj worth; he certainly was one of talent and abil-
ity. The law upon this subject is very severe,
but we have not the least idea, tnor has any body
else, we should think) that it will ever be carried
into efect-wasting the treasures of the State in
a long trial to end in smoke. The parties in this
affair had been previously arrested and gave bail
to keep the peace; but Immediately afterwards,
regardless of everything it seemed, the tragic af-
fair occurred. The deceased was a widower, and
has left a daughter fourteen years of age. Alas!
what a destiny for one SO young!

President Fillmore.

It is manifest, that throughout every section
of this country, the Administration Oh MlhhAhD
F11LMoRE-frm, impartial and lofty from Tue
frst-is every day becoming more ana mort
tho theme of universal appreciation. The
Southern Democrats have learnt that the man
whom they accused of entertaining aooli'loh
ntimeut have been their warmest friend,
and that to his able and resolute course the
South owes her present peace and tranquility
perhaps her safety. Indications, too eV'dent'
noint to him as the choice Of the Wings OF
| Louisiana for the next Presidency. Should he
decline the canditure, as intimated, then, DAN
TEL WEBSTER, unquestionably, will be the next
| choice, In truth, the country yves a deepdebt
| of gratitude to Dir. WEBSTER, and latterly his
popularity has risen towards the zenith with me-
teoric rapidity and brightness. In speaking OF
| Mr.. FILLMORE, on his recent visit to virginia.
the Lyncbburch Virginian justly remarks:
awe have never known a time when the
peop]e were calmer and more entirely content
with the state of public affairs, if we except tue
anxiety inseparable from the subject OF s'a-
very, for which the administration Is no wise
RESPONSIBLE and which it has done much 10 al
Law. The President is daily winning more OF
the confidence and esteem of his countrymen'
and securing a hold upon the affections OF the
p.ople from which it will be impossible to dis
iodle him. His management OF the public at
fairs has confirmed the confidence and admira-
t;on of,bose who wee instrumental in bring
ina him into nowe. His manifest desire and
determination to mold the good of the whole
country narauyunt to all other motives and
obiecls his evident %abnegation of personal
nnrnosesAnd ambition, the firm and yet eau
hons resolution with which he has maintained
tho ,ubIic honor and enforced the public law,
Thorough trust in the ~fulIness of his capacity,
and the wisdom of his policy. In equalizing
the public patronage, by Withdrawing from the
opposition something of the monopoly which
they had acquired, in enforcing public obIiga-
tons, and indicating public rights, he has
been so eminen,ly and resolutely just that on
ly selfish aud prejudiced pa~rtizans can find any
ground for censure.
"The great mass of the people, who are in
terested in party struggles only SO far as they
promise to promote the public good, and
whose sole desire is to secure an upright, faith
full and benefcent administration of public az
fairs, cannot be goaded into any violent hos
tility to his person or his policy. The habit
of obedience to the dictation of party leaders,
which characterized the last administration, is
measurably destroyed, and the people, loosen
ed from the ignoble bondage, will not fail to
see and feel that the true interests of the coun-
try will be promoted by a calm and quiet aG-
herence to the principles of government, that
were established by the fathers of our system
by moderation and forbearance, by economy
and integrity.

the people of this Parish will never send
another representative to the Legislature who
is in any danger of voting for a man who may
he so much of a Democrat as to fall into the
leading strings of PIERRE souLE. We conf
IDENTIFY assert that he has no friends here save
hut a few, and those few will be very Tar from
mentioning his name with credit during the

Thus, we have arrived at a length we did not

gradually drawn into the mentioning OF some
Of the truths which it is our duty and our

might emanate from apathy and thoughtless'
