Hon. George VI. Dallas Opinion of
Judge Campbell.

The Hon. George NJ. Dallas is well known to
be one of the most distinguished lawyers in the
United States. He is a near neighbor of Judge
Campbell, has practised in his Court and is

abilities Of that gentleman. We take the sub

why should we not be? Is there any man on

Geo. Chambers against the Liberty
Of the Press.

When the State Reform Convention was sit
ting to amend the Constitution, a motion was
made to insert an amendment providing that
..in all prosecutions for ibels, the TRUTH may
be given in evidence to the jury; and if that
the matter charged as ibellous is TRUE, and
was published with good motives and for justi-
fable ends, the party shall be acquitted, and
the jury shall have the power to determine the
law and the fact" Here is plain principle of
justice-a principle absolutely necessary to the
support of truth and human Iberty-a princi-
pie necessary to sustain the liberty of the Press
that great palladium of the government. And
yet George Chambers, now one of the Whig
nominees for Supreme Judge, voted against
it See Jour. Con. I'd vol. p. 476. The peo-
pie will vote against him.-PennsylUaniq

Death OF Gov. Mcdowell.

The death OF JAMES MCDOWELL, which trans
pired at his residence in Virginia. on Saturday
last, is an event that marks the fall Of an emf
nent man, and we announce it with profound
sorrow. Few men have passed through the
turmoil of public life, and have been more en-
ergetic in advocating their principles, and at
the same time more universally esteemed; few
men possessed more of the grades that adorn
alike the fireside and forum. He was a ripe
scholar; he was an elegant gentleman; he was a
profound statesman; a virtuous and upright cit
izen, fond father, devoted husband, and q
staunch and sterling friend. Mr. Mcdowell is
best known to the nation as an unrivalled orator
excelling most of his cotemporaries in that great
gift, so rare in its true sense even in this day
of progress. A voice, peculiar in ITSELF and ca
pable of the most extraordinary effects; form
tall, dignifed, and graceful; flowing and Wig
orous diction; luxuriant and healthy gina
ton; vast powers of thought; and knowledge
of the popular feeling beyond almost any man
of his age in this country, were the enviable
qualities of this great debater, and have often
created regret that they have so seldom been
exhibited. 1t was the fortune of the writer of
iAOtASN,
Inately, and it is mournful pleasure to feel
that we enjoyed large share of his confidence
and regard. As a representative in Congress,
he was peculiarly unobtrusive; moving calmly
among his fellow members; winning the good
viii of all; respected by his political opponents
always in his seat, and always right with the
good old party to which his high and generous
impulses were passionately dedicated. He had
no ambition to mingle in the party discussions
of the House; but reserved himself rather for
those exigencies in national affairs that serve to
show, not only the real danger and the real
strength of the country, but to prove who are
the brave and who the backward among the
public men of the times. Nothing marked
Mr.. MCDOwELL's character more than that large
spirit of liberation and of liberty that distin-
guished 1t. There was nothing narrow, suspi-
picious, or proscriptive in his nature. He was
the soul of candor, and, like all men of his
temper, ashamed of concealing his thoughts
His love of the Union was an old-time, old
fashioned Virginia sentiment-a sentiment based
upon the legal and Constitutional spirit of that
noble State, and strengthened by copious and
constantly rcfreshened knowledge of the politi-
cal history of that teacher of fundamental po-
litical truths. The loss of such man is peo-
ple's loss, and cannot be replaced. No longer
will Virginia he enabled to signalize him among
her favorite champions; no longer will the d e.
mOcracy Of the thirty-one States applaud his
chaste and thrilling eloquence; To longer will
his voice be raised to defend an imperrilled
Constitution. He is gone; and his example
alone remains TO a country he loved SO WE'LL

From the Carlisle volunteer.
Hon. Linn BOYD. of Kentucky.

This distinguished democrat has been trium-
phantly reelected to Congress from the First
District of Kentucky. This is the eighth time
he has been elected to Congress from the same
district, which is evidence of his popularity and
worth. We have long been an admirer of Linn
Boyd, and his course in the last Congress in ia
vor of the adjustment measures, raised him
still higher in estimation. The democracy
of the whole country feel proud of man like
Mr.. Boyd-a man of brilliant intellect sterling
integrity, and who has the nerve to stand forth
as a champion of the peoples rights and inter
ests. The following article we clip from the
Paducah (Ky.) Democrat. The compliment is
well deserved, and will find a response in the
breast of every American democrat -
Hon. LINN BoYD-The democracy throughout
the land will rejoice to learn that in defiance of
all the man9uvering of secret enemies and the
Vaccinations of open foes this valiant and well
tried veteran democrat has, for the eight time,
been returned to Congress from this district, by
an overwhelming majority.
That Mr.. Boyd is destined to occupy one of
the highest positions in the councils of the Ma
ton is too clearly marked by his unwavering
adherence to democratic principles, his sterling
patriotism, and able statesmanship. to admit of
a doubt. That he would do honor to the first
office in the gift Of the American peopIe. none
who know him will doubt There is no man in
the councils of the Nation occupyinp more
enviable position, and it requires no prophetic
to tell where he is destined to be
placed by the American people

President judge.

MIR. DIToR:-ln passing in review before us
the several Democrats, prominent in this Judi
cial District candidates for the office of Presi
dent Judge, we are strongly impressed with
predictions in favor of John Scott, ESQ, of
Huntington.
To sum up at once, all possible objections
which the people could find TO Mr.. Scott, we
might say they consist in this one-he is q
yo"ng man. This objection, however, so far
from being fatal one, is by the circumstances
in the case evanescent and easily surmountable
Mr.. Scott has been practicing member of the
Bar for some eight or ten years. With what
assiduity and earnestness he has pursued his
vocation, the general confidence of the comma
nifty and very fiattcring practice which he has
enjoyed are the best evidence. He stands high
among his legal brethren at Huntingdon and in
the district. lie is and has always been an un-
hinching Democrat He is a man of the most
amiable manners and disposition, of the highest
order Of mind combining strength and beau
ty. His habits Of punctuality and dispatch
are such to insure the most feicitous
transaction of business, and in recommending
him to the favorable notice of the Convention
we say that we believe the people have to hope,
in his nomination, the ultimatum of their wishes
in this department.
We have no hesitation in saying, from all OBJ
servable indications, that with John Scott ESQ.,
for our candidate, We can easily give majority
Of eight hundred for President Judge

Romance and NIafriniOny.

The Chief of the Choctaw Indians of Arkan-
sas, DR.. Okah Tubbee, was married at Niagara
Falls lately, to charming young white lady,
who suddenly fell in love with him while travel
ing on steamer, and Victoria-like, proposed
that they should be married. He first capt.
waited her by his elegant flute playing, and then
by the music of his words, as he is an accom-
phshed man and scholar. When about to part
on the steamer, at a town, she "declared her
SELF, and the chief quickly responded upon his
knees, saying he had a vision of this happy
event. They then parted to make arrangements
for the bridal and met next day again at Niaga-
IRA Falls, where the ceremony was consummatei
on the banks of the river, under the blue arch
of heaven, in the presence of friends. The first
minister who called to officiate, after looking
on while, SHRINK from the task; but one O.!
more nerve being procured he put the matter
through. The bride paid him with $50 in gold
from her purse. Mrs. Tubbee and her husband
returned to Medin a, \. Y, the paper at which
place relates this affair. The chief goes to
Europe shortly.

Conduct of Crittenden and Ker---
More Executions.

They died bravely, those
gallant and unfortunate young men. When tie
moment of execution came, Colonel Crittendeu
and Capt. Victor Ker among them refused to
kneel with their backs to their exeoutioners.-
"No,' said the chivalrous Crittenden, 'An
American kneels only to his God, and always
faces his enemy" They stood up, faced their
executioners, were shot down, and their brains
then knocked out by dubbed muskets.
Other prisoners have been made and executed

fifteen on board the steamer Pizarro-a good
deal of cold blood shed, which will probably
give a not acceptable return to those who have
proved their chivalry in vain; but who can un-
fiinchingly look the dead man in the face-but
not, believe, without the sense of shame TIE
number we shall know, if the government choose
to publish.
The creoles here are cowards-they have fed
far from their promises At the East, it is said,
they maintain themselves as heroes, and LOPEZ

divided counsels, want of food, &C., he may
fail. Spanish chiyalry has been beaten back in
every action attempted, with great loss, by
handful of men.

whom your county convention have nominated
for your support. You will perceive that it is
unvarnished, but strictly true every word of it.
We may in our next make some remarks on the
doctrines of the whig party and their candidates
in this county; but if we do, we will endeav0r
TO do it in truthful and courteous manner. 1t
is the policy of the wings III this county, know
ing that they are in the minority, to keep quiet
and assume candid disregard of politics for
democratic consumption, whilst at the same time
they have a perfect organization in every town
ship within your borders. Arouse therefore
and organize, and let it not be said hereafter
that the wings, without principle, with large
majority against them, steal in their eandi-
dates to Office, who would take the earliest op-
portunity to apprize you of your stupidity and
want of principle.
