The Pennsyluan;an of Tuesday comes to
the rescue Of the Union, by an attack on the
Democratic Revie,c and Mr.. SANDERS. It is for
tunate for the Union to have one of It's attaches
possessed of an interest in a Philadelphia es-
Enlistment, and Clerk Of the House at the
same time. It makes things convenient all
round. On these points we may have some
thing to say on q future day. az
Meanwhile, we will publish little anecdote,
illustrative of the mode in which things were
done at the Baltimore Convention which nom
mated General PIERCE We find it in the
Richmond Enquirer. That journal is speak
ing Of an article in the Reviesc criticising Mr..
STILEs's recent work on Austria: tyea
'This article develops part OF the history Of
the late Democratic Convention at Baltimore,
which ought to be placed plainly before the hon.
est men of all parties We have not received the
facts directly from Mr.. Stiles, but stand ready to
substantiate the following statements. They ex
plain the character of the article, and the motives
of the writer: Mr.. Stiles as one of the Baltimore
Democratic Convention in nominating the candi
date of the party for the Presidency. It will be
remembered that both wings of, the Democratic
party OF Georgia had delegates in that body, viz:
the Union Democrats, numbering II, and the
Southern Rights, numbering 20. It SO happened
that of the Southern Rights party there were II
who had expressed themselves favorable to Judge
Douglas as their choice, with determine
ton to support his nomination. Mr.. Stiles (who
was of the Southern Rights wing of the partly
was in favor of Mr.. Buchanan as the nomi.
nee. The Union Democrats were altogether in
favor of Mr.. Buchanan. Mr.. Stiles and two
others, therefore, held the vote in their hands, It
was during this period that the editor of the Demo
cratic ReUie,o, understanding the position of the
Georgia delegation, approached Mr.. Stiles, and in
the presence of Major Lally and Mr.. F. Doyle, of
Washington, told Mr.. Stiles that he had written
and published bis work on Austria that if Stiles
would go for Douglas he would give it such favor
able notice and criticism as would insure its en-
tire success but that if he persisted in the sup
port of Buchanan he would give him such skin
ming that would damn his work forever Mr..
Stiles replied to him by asking the .price of his
skinniag, which he would freely pay, being salts
fed that this skinning would do his book more
good than harm This is the promised skinning,
and it is nice commentary upon the character of
the Reoietc." s a44y3 - 100;

DEATH OF R. B. SEMpLE-We regret to an
nounce that r. B. SEMpLE, esq.,, mayor of Frede.
rcksbnrg, Virginia, and editor Of the Fredericks-
burg Ne.os, died on the 9th instant at Richmond,
the capital of the State. The Richmond Enquirer,
of yesterday, in announcing the event, says:
Son Friday night we saw him in robust health
cracking his jokes and spreading merriment
around him. Yesterday he lay stiff in the embrace
of death. On Sunday he was attacked by pneu-
monia, which in short time brought him to his
grave. Mr.. S. had won many friends by the buoy
ancy of his spirits and his native humor During
the late excursion to Wheeling, he kept the dele
cation from Virginia in roar by his ceaseless
sallies Of wit, in which he well responded to By
Col. Baldwin, of Staunton. Mr.. Sempie had strong
talents, and edited spirited and Independent
journal, In which he always spoke out the honest
impulses of his nature hN slle
The CHERoKs Es.-Judge Hi cks and two other
distinguished Cherokees arrived here yesterday on
theirway to Washington city. They go as delegates
from their nation, their object being to propose
the retrocesson to the United States, for proper
pecunary consideration, of about 800 900 acres of
the land granted to their people BY the Government
The Cherokees think that they can do without the
tract in question, while they sorely need the money
Judge Hicks states that, although there is fair
share Of industry among the Cherokees, and al
though the more intelligent classes have almost
every thing they need, the number OF common In
diane israpidly decreasing, the deaths among them
being far more numerous than the births He as
crbes this to the fact that there is great deal of
sickness among them, and that they have not pro-
per medical treatment Probably they have not
means to pay for the medical services that money
might command. The Cherokee delegation is &C
by Gen. Smithson, of Arkansas, who
was one Of the two Democratic candidates for Gov
ernor at the last election in that State, He is
highly intelligent gentleman, and although he has
no official come xion with the delegates, we pre-
sumo he will do all in his power to promote the OBJ
ect which they go to accomplish.

COLONEL FREMoNT's CLAIM.-The Intelligencer
has published the decision of the Board Of Land
Commissioners for California on Colonel Fremont's
Mariposa claim, which was delivered by Commits
sioner Hiand Hall, December 81, 1852 The fol-
lowing is the concluding portion: ],
"We are satisfied that the title papers presented
in support Of the claim are all genuine and au-
thentic; that the grant was made as we'll in re-
ward for meritorious services to the Mexican gov,
eminent as to promote the general object Of the
colonization iaws and if the territory Of Caiifor
MIA had not been transferred to the United States
we cannot doubt that the title would have been
respected and maintained and the grantee and
those claiming By him secured and protected in
its full enjoyment. On the whole, we are of opin-
ion that in accordance with the treaty of Guada
lupe Hidalgo, the laws of nations, the laws usagcs,
and customs of the government from which the
claim is derived, the principles of equity, and the
decisions of the Supreme Court of the United
