| FREDER1KA BREMER We perceive by sum
mary of literary intelligence published in one
of the New York papers, that Miss Bremen
whose works are so widely and so fayorably
known throughout this country, and who, last
year, travelled all over it and made herself more
or less acquainted with all of its sectional pecu
liaritics, has completed the volume which she
promised to write concerning the United States
In the letter conveying this information, Miss
Bremen says that although she does not take
the same ground rs that occupied by Mrs
Beecher Stowe, still she hopes her work will be
found equally truthful and exact in its treat
ment Of the slave question.
We have no doubt that Miss Bremer's work
will be an interesting and readable one, that il
will bca pleasant sketch of her impressions d
the United States, and generally favorable te
US. We also think it probable that she will
treat the South with more civility and courtesy
than it has generally been treated by foreign
yisiters ahd writer's But we very much doubt
whether we shall get full justice even from Miss
Bremen. 1t may be. She is lady Of very
| considerable refinement and cultivation, and il
| her feelings have not been turned into wrong
direction by the Northern fanatics we are con.
| fdent that she will approximate to the truth.
At any rate the work will be published before
| long and received aud read Then we shall be
qualified to eriticse what VIC can now only an
nounce.

Our neighbor is right in one particular-we
worship the head, and that only. Brains are
an indispensable requisite to greatness in the
whig ranks, and somehow they are always found
there. Indeed, the trouble with us has been
that, while the democracy had no idol of more
than third rate ability, we had seyeral-all SO
gifted as to win the worlds admiration-all so
great as to be be worshippcd by their support
ers We had in our ranks, at one time, Clay,
and Webster, and Adams, and Scott, and Taylor
such q galaxy of glory and greatness as the
democracy never comprised-tho first orators
and the first soldiers, not only Of the country
but Of the age and the world. And when we
have such men, they are honored, praised and
respected.
Perhaps-somebody imagines that Tom Ben
ton would like to be nominated Wool, and sup
ported by the wings. and that the wings would
like to nominate and support him. We have d
great deal Of regard for g Old Bullion and
think him, with all his faults and eccentricties,
the ablest man Of the locofoco party: but we
should just as soon think Of sustaining Marcy
as Benton. We look upon the Missouri Senator
as beneficial torment to his otherwise too-hap-
Ply friends, and trust that they will find much
Ultimate virtue in his teachings. If lie chooses
to advocate some sound wing measures, it is to
his credit that he does SO, and we trust he will
live long enough to see them realized and fully
carried out by a radical wing administrator

Two DEATHS By DRoWSiNG,--It becomes our
duty this morning to make record of most
painful occurrence which happened at our river
on Sunday last. Two young boys, one n son of
Mr. James McGottery, and the other a son of
Mr. Jacob Reinman, went to the river with |
others, for the purpose of bathing. Young Nc
