that every subordinate il tie custom house

worth Of patronage at bis disposal, will be
turned out unless be shall 90 openly fCr

.sMr. Bronson was removed for aiding
and abctting treason to the democratic par
ty, for eountenancing and endorsing bolt
from regular nominations, led on by men
in open and active hostility ID the national
administration. Franklin Pierce was too
good general to tolerate insubordination
or mutiny He acted promptly and efficieht-
". Now the principle that removed Bron-
son will remove the lowest subordinate in

removal Of Bronson IS significant, preg-
nant fact. 1.-The hand writing is upon the

If the hundreds Of subordinates in the
New York custom house are such miserable

DIED-On the Ord of October. 1858, Of
yellow fever, at his residence, Point Industry
opposite Yazoo City, DIR. JOHN I. WLsoN, with
the Arm hope of the christian to sustain him in
his last moments But little more than two
short weeks before, he had been called on to
part with his dear wife, whom he was SO soon
to follow, though not until he had passed
through appalling scenes of trial. His dear and
venerated mother and his three youngest child,
rem, with large family OF servants. amongst
whom the fatal disease had appeared, all look
ing to him alone for support and nursing care
would have been enough to I'll the cupof anx-
| iety and misery, but add his constant solcitude
for his two oldest sons, some twenty miles dis
tant (where the fatal scourge had appeareD
lest theyltoo might become its victims, and we
may well say, that even he would have been
unequal to the task, without the aid from en-
High, for which he daily nightly and hourly
prayed.
He says in letter to friend, II feel per-
sonal security, not to be enjoyed, save through
the Purifying grace Of God: the fiery ordeal
through which have passed has melted my
soul, and feel as potter's clay in the hands Of
the workman; Gods ordinances are my laws,
and to his win am resigned. / bless Him
that my aged parent is spared, 10 receive my
little lambs from His hands" But alas! the
fatal blow came, when that venerated aren't
was taken down: for days and nights, with
scarcely an hours intermission for repose, he
devoted himself to that much loved parent; in
his unweared attentions to her, hewas stricken
down, and in four short days was conveyed to
the side Of his loved wife.
His prayer for his aged mother was heard
and answered; she still survives to devote the
remnant i her days to her grand children.
Although separated Cor awhile from her dear
son, she has his last written words to console
her-,'I snail de, hope, pardoned sinner;
though nov well it is a-g,od time to think Of
