This will be gratifying intelligence to

evening, while DIR. Welsh, of Albany,
was in the midst of one of the most i'm

test both his politeness and presence of
mind:
"a pair were waiting TO be married
after the sermon, in the rear of the audi

the sexton, but the latter Official having
become absorbed in drowsiness or con-

Nh. EDITOR:-
1t has occurred to me, that in the cleo
ton of representative 10 the General
Assembly we should look to the true
and substantial interests of our Repre-
sentative district. So far as any politi.
cal question is involved. it matters little
who is elected. But so far as the welfare
of our young and growing county is TO be
considered, it becomes to us a matter of
deep and abiding importance. If We
wish better ana more thoroughfares open
ed, if we wish our farms made more &C.
cessible to a market, which will not only
buy of us at fair cash price. but buy all
we have got to sell, and above all if we
wish to make such a market within our
midst, that will open and improve our
lands, increase their value and make pro-
ductive and saleable, such as are now
wild, and for all practicable purposes
worthless. Common prudence and the
dictates of just and sound policy alike
teach us. to give our votes 10 that candi-
date who from his position and influence
can but subserve these important ends.
1t is perhaps not generally known, that
the Southern Indiana Rail Road intend
tor run branch from their main line,
through Marshall County, by way of Ply
mouth. either to Lafayette or 1ogans-
port. that to do this, additional legisla-
ton may be required. Mr.. Patterson as
our Representative at the last session,
was particularly active in procuring for
that company the passage Of such amend
ments to their charter, as was deemed
essential to the construction of that i'm :
portant work, and the influence which
his extensive acquaintance in both bran
ches gave him, wa: powerfully exerted
and felt, and as readily acknowledged by
tue friends of that measure. No mem
Der from the north done them better
service.
For years we have hoped. and earn
estly besought the legislature TO grant US
Rail Road facilities True weir e char
tiers. but the road is not built, nor likely
to be built under them. We have failed
to enlist capital. Now it is proffered us
and they say to us give us the legislation
necessary, and we will build your road,
and build it mainly with our means
The writer of this makes no professions
of personal regard for Mr.. Patterson. but
in common with the people of Marshall
County he does feel deep interest in
all that relates to her prosperity and wei
fare. In the present condition of things.
how is that best attained? Is it BY send
ing to the General Assembly, in this our
hour of need, when struggling with all
the energies of life to obtain what we
must have, (unless we would lose caste
and rank with counties around us, a
member new, inexperienced, without in
fluence, and, almost without an acquain.
lance in a body. where this legislation
must be had, if had at all? No. Com
mon sense tells us, that TO succeed-to
get wha! we ask. we must send Repre-
sentative who has seen service-who
has done service TO the very Rail Road
company. on whom our last hopes rest.
Such a member we can have If we will.
Such a member would be WILLIAM NJ.

FILLMORE AND WEBSTER FOR
SCOTT

What IS the use of our Southern friends
urging tins claims of either Mr.. Fillmore
or Mr. Webster 10 the Presidency, when
they know il is the settled policy of the
North to bring forward a candidate for
the Presidency, who has in no way been
connected with the compromise measures?
Seward and Clayton and Ewing and
Johnson have determined that Gen. Scott
is to be the candidate. He will be nOm-
mated without any declaration for the
public eye on these questions, and Fill
more and Webster, notwithstanding the
grumbling of the South will contribute
their influence to bring about this result.
The American Patriot" the new Scott
paper just commenced at New York, thus
speaks Of these distinguished statesmen,
and no doubt speaks b. authority.-S.
Sentinel.
Fortunately for President Fillmore. his
ambition is fully satisfied with the high
position he has held and is still holding
in the eyes of the nation. Circumstan-
ces contrary to his expectations and his
wishes have brought him into the high
est chair of state, but he has filled the
same with grace and dignity, and is ready
to retire 10 the shades of private life. sat-
isied that his coun;rvmen could confer
on him no higher honor by prolonging
the period of his administration of the
affairs of the land. The great and God
like Webster, whatever may be his polit-
ical aspirations, his lofty soul would
scorn to accept the sufrages of the peo
pie in his behalf, when the salvation of
his country is at stake. and when the
very name Of a fresh candidate for the
Presidency from amid the people. would
give prestige of success and disarm fac
ton of its treachery and power for mis-
chief. The name of Webster has. till re-
Gently, been somewhat sectional--it has
never been recognized as belonging to

MEXICAN MATTERs.-Dates OF the 9th
June from the Mexican capital are on
hand. The government is taking meas
ures to fortify the lsthmus of Tehuante-
pee. The Committee on Military At
fairs of the lower House of Congress have
reported bill for the establishment of
four military colonies on the lsthmus,
and for the erection of works of de fence
at the mouth of the Coatzacoalcos and at
other points of the Isthmus.
The Trait d Union says. that letters re-
ceived in the city of Mexico represent
the Isthmus as IN STATE of great confu-
sion
The government decree against the
Americans proceeding any further in pro-
scouting the railroad enterprise across
the Isthmus, is stringent and violent, to
execute which some 400 troops have been
des patched. This proceeding is certainly
very astonishing. inasmuch as but very
few months ago the Supreme Govern
ment issued a general passport TO the
members of the surveying party. and es-
pecially directed the Governors of Vera
Cruz and Onjac 10 extend every protec-
ton and facility posi- bic to Major Bar
