DEATH OF oN.oRIN FOWLER.

1t is with deep regret we are called upc to an
nounce the death Of another of the distinguished
REPRESENTATIVES Of Massachusetts, in Congress. The
Rev. OaIs Fowler died at his residence in this
city on Friday night, after an illness of FIVE ays.
Mr.. FOWLER was about ffty-eght years Of ae. lie
graduated Yale in 1916, in the class with RUMAS
SMITH and john NJ. CLAYTON; and subsequently, inferred
upon the ministry in the Congregational Churc. Up
to the time of his DEATH believe his connexa con-
tnued with the church at Fall River, Of which he had
been for many years the able and acceptable paste
In the Legislature of Massachusetts, he had radered
distinguished services that State; and when bought
forth as candidate for Congress, he elected By ma
ority far greater than arrayed the de OF
either of the political parties in that district
ripe scholar, most diligent and laborious nan OF
business patient perseverng, and untrng in the rose
cuton of whatever his hand found TO do; and whal a
man of high order of talents and great pulpit eonence
especially, he was valued most highly by all who knew
him. and long filed prominent and honorable psition
in the esteem Of his fellow-ctzens generally 7agaph
We join very sincerely in the regret of GU con-
temporary for the death of the Reverend gentleman
from Massachusetts, whom it seems but yesterday
we saw in the House of Representatives, in al ap-
pearance hale and hearty.
The Funeral of the deceased took place yestrlay
afternoon from his late residence, from Whence,
after Divine Service, the corpse was removal, in
charge of the Sergeant-atArms Of the Houe Of
Representatives, to the Railroad depot for covey-
ance to Massachusetts,.
The Pall-bearers were Representatives A g.
Penn, NJ p. Gentry, c. II. Psaslee, Dauid Outh,o,

RIVERS AND HARBORS.

We learn that Mr.. VENABLE, Ia distinguished
Democratic Representative in Congress from North
Carolina, in his late speech at the Universalst
Church in Richmond congratulated the Democracy
that after the election of Gen. PIERCE Riuer and
Har5or bills acoula become la,os. Do the Western
Democracy hear that Would they rather have a
Democratic President than safe harbors and naviga-
BILE rivers p Richmond Republican.
Mr.. VENABLE is an honorable man, whatever be
his politics We desire no higher authority for any
fact than its assertion by that gentleman of his
own knowledge Gen. PIERCE would, We cannot
doubt when thus assured of it, if he reaches the Pre-
sdency, follow the example Of his last predecessor
of the same party, and set his foot upon the most
benefcent act presented to him for his appro-
baton, as Mr. Polk did in the case of the River
and Harbor Bill passed during his Administration ;
his reason for putting his oeto upon it, which we
dare say our readers have not forgotten being that
