MIR BRONSON A WING.

Our neighbor, the American, claims Mr.
Bronson as a wing, and wishes him as such,
success in his fight against the administration
OF course, we could expect nothing else from
wings But what will the democrats who have
been supporting Bronson and Cooley, say when
they find Their leader thus quietly transferred
to the wing ranks. Hear whst the American
saws j" Mr.. Bronson may not like il but as
the election will have been decided before our
testimony operate against him, will say
that he is wing of the stamp of '76 and 81,
and we hope he will triumph over those who
would crush him. We think that his success
would be most valuable 10 the wings"
So, then the American would not make this
statement before the election in New York, as
the fact if known, might have operated against
the indictments, who were claiming to be dem
ocra,s par erceIen ce. But now that the fact
can no longer interfere with the party vote, Mr..
Bronson is boldly claimed wing, and his
success desired because sc it would be most val
liable to the WHY'S"
We were well satisfied by the course Mr..
Bronson had pursued that he was pot a true
democrat, and we are glad that the transpa-
rent cloak Of hypocrisy, with which he was en-
deavoring to veil his opposition to the admins
tra,ion, has been stripped Fly one OF his own
colleagues and that he now stands before the
public one IN whose course Wblggery was
deeply interested, and whose success was TO in
lure the Democracy to,he benefit of whiggery
alone. The democracy of New York, will
know where to place this factious set hereaf-
ter and how to appreciate their warfare against
the temperate administration Argus
John Ross, the principal chief of the Chero-
kee nation, has lately delivered bis annual
message to the national council. In it he men
tons the fact that plan is being agtated at
Washington, and that the boundaries of the
proposed territory would encroach on their lands.
He continues:
But holding, as we do, the repeated assur-
ances o! the government, and the st'pu!ations
of solemn treaties, that the lands Of the Chero-
KEGS shall never be embraced within the limits
of any State or Territory withou, their consent,
il connot be supposed that any such encroach
ment on our rights would lie deliberately and
Intentionally made by the government. would
suggest, however, the propriety of entering a
solemn protest against such an extension of
boundaries Of any State or Territory as would
i'm any degree contravene the rights guaranteed
to the Cherokee nation by the government OF

A HUE AMI CRY "A RACE HORSE
STOLEN-A CONSTABLE SHOT.

Mr.. James Bull came in from Jonesville last
night, and informs US that the people of Hills
dale county are in state Of great excitement,
caused by the shooting of cons able who
undertook to arrest a horse thief near Jones'
VILE
1t seems that the fam us racing horse named
Jenny Lind was stolen from Maysville, Ky,
but few days ago, ard that reward of 900
was off red for her recovery and the arrest of the
thief. The Sheriff of the county and con-
stable started from Kentucky and traced the
thief and the horse to Hudson, in HllsdaIe
county, where he was headed off and obliged
to return to Hllsdale, where he was surprised
by the constable and sheriff while feeding the
mare with some corn. The constable sprung
TO seize him, but the thief was too smart-he
jumped on the mare, but not before the consta :
bic seized the bride. The horse thief then
pulled out two revolvers and shot The constable
in the shoulder and presen ing his revolver at
the sheriff, was off fast as The blood mare
could carry him. The shooting of the constable
has aroused the whole neighborhood in the pur-
suit, and the thief will propably he ,aken.-Dc-

The Washington Union directs attention to
the propriety of Congress, at its next session,
taking up the subject of revising and codifying
the laws of the U. s. II is good suggestion
The general laws of The U. S are but little
known to the people, and not well known to
the lawyers who practice only in State courts

taking off the roof of the Round II i'll Church, in
Elizabeth township, in this county, the skee-
ton of human being was discovered in the loft
Of the church 1t was evident that the person,
whoever he was, had committed suicide, as the
bones were found Immediately beneath hand
kerchief which was suspended from rafter.
On examing the handkerchief name was found
worked upon it, which led to the discovery that
the skeleton that of who had lived
in Elizabethtown, about 10 years since, and who
had mysterously disappeared. The citizens
supposed that he had drowned himself, and
dragged the river several times to discover the

produced by his trouble, it is supposed he CON-
