BrovnIow, OF T.nne,s...

We have opened several Democratic papers this
morning in which the powerful influence Of
this reverend political editor is spoken Of in such
manner as to suggest the inference that the Wing
party in that State is to be annihilated by him.
He is gentleman Of fine talents and great ener-
gy; but wc would mention fact or two that
may not be generally known. The first is, that
his is the only Wing paper in Tennessee that op
poses Gen Scott the second, that he opposed Gen
Taylor in Ike manner; and the third, that we car
elect Gen. Scott, as we did Gen. Taylor, without
the aid Of brother Brownlow. Amen

OF the able, instructive, and beautiful speech
of Mr.. Seward, now in course of publication in
our paper, the Baltimore Clipper justly remarks
that "thc many facts brought into review by the
Senator cannot but prove of general interest,
while the Frightening commercial prospects, as
depicted by this gentleman, show that, far as
we have advanced in ocean trade, comparatively
we are yet in our infancy. The eastern portion
Of the world will, even in our generation, be
united with the western by bridge of ships and
railroads, over which viii pass in exchange the
rich products of the earth and workshops, with
all the intermediate commodities Of barter; aud,

republicanism will diffuse their genial influence
to the nations who have never yet heard the
thunderings of selfgoverned people, nor wit.
messed the lightnings of intellectual efforts in the
great battle for measures calculated to advance
the social, political, aud religious freedom even
now so amply enjoyed under our republic. The
peopling Of tho world commenced in the cast,
and there civilization began; it would, therefore,
be no more than fair, on the part Of the west, to
express gratitude by the diffusion of the light Of
free government"

Life and Services OF Gen. Scott.

Seldom has so popular paper issued from the
American press as the Life and Services Of Gen.
Scott, recently published through the columns of
the National Intelligencer. "These sketches"
says the Baltimore American, will recommend
themselves no less for the graphic power of mar
ration displayed than for the rare skill with
which SO much is SO well told in SO comparatively
small space. No one we are sure, can read
this history without feeling all the emotions of
patriotism and love of country stirred within him
by the recital of tho gallant deeds performed and
the important services rendered by the hero who
is about to receive from his grateful countrymen
the high and honored reward he SO we'll merits.
The perusal of this record, if it cannot overturn
political predictions and bias, ought certainly
to disarm party calumny, and shield from detrac-
ton and SANDER one who has achieved for his
country so much as to render it next to impossi-
BILE to strike at him except through her"

A "ThriIIing Dialogue" DemoIsb.d.

Senator Hale says the Baltimore American, in
the following letter to the Washington Union,
cruelty demolishes one Of the best electioneering
anecdotes which the Democracy have produced
during the present campaign, and over which
they have chucked and crowed most Justify:
DOVER N. H., Aug. IL, 1852
To the Editor Of the Union.
Sra In the Washington Union Of the 9Th in
slant, under the head Meeting in Accomnc, Va.
| Thrilling Dialogue" q conversation is said to
have occurred between Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Map,
at public meeting in which the following thrill
| ing dialogue took place:
Mr. Wise -" We're you in New Hampshire two
years ago, and did you not hear Hale speak, and
say in his speech that he would head an army to
march upon the South and put down slayeryf'
Mr. Map.--'eI WINS there, heard Mr.. Hale
speak, and say what you state"
Mr.. WISE" Did you not hear General Pierce
reply TO this, and say, If Hale should head an
army to march on the South, he had first to
march over his (Pierce's) dead body, for he
would head an army TO oppose him ~
| Mr.. Map.--"I did"
The account then proceeds: "You can imagine
the feeling which this reply elected. The court
house rang with shouts Of applause, repeated
again and again. MIR. Wise then requested his
opponent to state the facts again, which he did
to an almost breathless auditory: Gen Pierce
did say (slapping his hand upon bis breast) that
Hale would have to pass over his dead body be-
fore he marched upon the South"
To this permit me briefly to reply, that, for
whatever purpose such dialogue may have been
spoken in Virginia court house, there is not a
syllable Of truth in it. No such remark was ever
made by me, and, of course no such answer by
General Pierce; nor was there o meeting holden
in New Hampshire, or elsewhere, in which such
. dialogue could have occurred General Pierce
and myself have not spoken at the same public
meeting since 1840--when we both spoke on the
same sde--but once, and that was at the North
Church, in Concord, New Hampshire, in June,
1915; and | am sure that Of the thousands who
attended that meeting, not one can be found who
will pretend that anything Of the kind took place
ut that time. That however, has nothing to do
with the statement as the remarks related by
/ Mr.. Map were made at a meeting holden two
years since.
Respectfully, yours JOHN T. HALE.
P. s. Any one who doubts the correctness OF
my statement can BIO satisfied by applying to Mr..
! Pierce himself. jpn.

Death bY Drowning.

On Wednesday evening last, Mr.. BALKAN Birch,
master carpenter of this city, loft his home for
the purpose Of visiting an acquaintance on G
street, east Of Tibcr creek. As he failed to re-
turn to his family during that night, and no
tidings were received Of his whereabouts, his
friends apprchensive that he was drowned, or
had met with death in some other way, caused q
search to be made in the creek, as well as in the
canal, for his body, but for some time without
avail. On Saturday the persons present at the
house ut the time Of Mr.. Birchs visit were
brought before Justice Goddard for examination,
which was not concluded until the next day. 1t
was sscertained during the investigation that
Birch left that neghborhood at about nine o'clock
at night on his return home but, there being no
evidence before the magistrate, as we are in
formed, to justify their detention, they were dis
charged. Yesterday afternoon officers Handy,
Boss, Barnaclo, Calclazier, and others, resumed
the search, and, having explored the culvert ex.
tending 70 the Tiber along the line Of Indiana
avenue, they found the body Of Mr.. Birch in that
part OF the water-course over which Mr.. Bald
WINS carpenter-shop is erected. II was lodged
against beam, while another, across the breast,
held 1t fast II was very much dishgured, and
in putrescent condition. The gold watch Of
the deceased was found in his pocket and ring
upon his finger, which precludes the idea that h,
lost his life by tho hand Of an assassin
A coroner's jury examined fully into the facts
Of the case, so far as they could be ascertained
and, from the evidence before them, arrived
the conclusion that the deceased came to hi
death by accidentally falling into the sewer 0,

the water in it being high at the timc--it wa

Iowa and North Carol.na,


1t appears that former accounts from both
these States are erroneous We have but one OF
the two Representatives from Iowa-Mr. Hem
being reelected. The legislature is also proba-
bly, Democratic
In North Carolina, Gov. Reid is of course re-
elected, but the legislature is believed to be ours
We earnestly hope this may prove true; for We
would willingly forego dozen governors to re-
tain in the United States Senate the eloquent,
able, accomplished, and patriotic MANeUM.
The Raleigh Register says that the most reck-
less partisan in that State, who is at all informed
twill not dare to pronounce the result Of this
election any indication or test of the relative
strength of the two political parties" and the
last Wilmington Journal Ia Democratic paper OK
plicitly admits that it cannot be so considered.
1t remarks that "free suffrage is stronger than
any man or set of men," and so De think ii should
be.
The Register adds:
"In the mean time we would say to our Wing
friends abroad, Lose not your confidence in the
continued asoendancy Of Wing principles in North
Carolina The State is Wing as ever. Local
causes have had everything to do with Reids
election-national politics nothing. In Novem-
Der, when these causes are removed, or can have
no influence, the State will 60 for Scott and Ora

Two Days Later.

The steamer Northern Light, from San Juan,
arrived this morning She brings $3.50, 900 in
gold, and 800 passengers, and two days later
California advices. San Juan was healthy, and
business dull
Through the intervention of Dillon. the French
Consul at San Francisco, the difficulties between
the Americans and foreigners in Mariposa had
been settled.
A rumor prevailed at Sacramento on the 10th
that Georgetown had been destroyed by fire, but
it lacked confirmation.
A duel was fought with revolvers at Contra
Costa between Nugent, San Francisco. editor,
and John Cotter, Alderman, from the Fourth
Ward. On the second fire Nugent received Cot
ter's ball in his thigh, which would probably have
to be amputated.

His speech was characterized by great ability and
eloquence. He was succeeded by that little man

North Carolina, and the Boanerges Of Tonnes

house, to which he invited all present. The meet
ing then adjourned to the markct-house, where
the best Of beef, bacon hams, mutton, veal, &C..
were discussed with gusto. In this connexion
we must state, that Mr.. Trail invited to his ele
CANT and hospitable mansion a number of the
visiters to the city, where they were entertained
with the most sumptuous feast.
At 2o'clock the meeting reassembled. ThecroWd
seemed to have increased, rather than diminished.
After few earnest addresses by several gentle
men, the meeting adjourned till 8 o'clock. Al

The Compensation OF clerks.

A writer in the Intelhgencer of this morning
! says:
trust that the Senate will restore Mr.. Gen.
try's amendment to its fair proportions before
reporting it back to the House"
| If neither Senate nor House concur in opinion
with the writer, we shall thank them for con-
summating the change already made by the
House, which will certainly entitle Congress to
the gratitude of all. Still we think, with the
writer that Mr.. Gentry's proposition was just,
and that its adoption by both houses will be
hailed with appreciation by every citizen of the
United States who looks into the merits of the
case
We notice that some of our most respected Rep
resentatives oppose the measure, or saddle it
with impracticablc provisions, because it does
not comprehend every desired object of reform they
wish to see accomplished. This is unwise and
unkind. Dilatory time viii accomplish all, and
all the better for having the work done by piece
meal. When it is possible to increase the com
pensation of the day-laborer, the mechanic, or
the seamstress, we shall be found ready to plead
in their behalf; but we can surely not help their
cause by burdening that of others with it at an
inopportune moment. We respect both the au-
thors of movements in their behalf, and the
motives prompting them; but as the thing will
require more time and consideration than can
at this late day of the session be given to it, we
hope the suggestions thrown out may not be per-
sisted in to the prejudice of good cause, that
will probably encounter no other obstruction in
it's progress toward completion
