Gen. william Cullom for Congress.

He has been twice elected 10 Congress. His
conduct as representative has been such as to
entitle him TO the confidence and plaudt Of his
the American people. In his maiden speech
when the country, and the American Congress
were drunk and deranged with the Kossuth MANIA
he took a stand worthy of the American heart
and of an American statesman. His course during
the last session of Congress merited and received
the appreciation OF his constituents and bis speech
on the Nebraska bill was one that any Statesman
who has grown gray In the counsels Of the ma.
ton might be proud to be the author Of In his
difficulty With Churchwel, he showed himself a
MANIFOLD, fearless, and independent In the
card he published on the occasion, he triumphant
ly sustained himself before the tribunal Of his
country, and completely demolished his opponent.
When the history Of this man shall be well under
stood by the people, an impartial public win be
ready toaward to him that high need Of praise which
he so justly deserves. He commenced his career
among us almost without education, and In circum-
stances the most destitute and dscouraging.
Through the difficulties and misfortunes incl
dent to such a life, by his never-faiug energy and
good management he has acquired wealth and
standing. He Ia a man "selfmade ~ bis success
at the bar is most remarkable. He served his
constitutional term as Attorney General, and de-
himself with ability. The State never had bet
ter representative He served two sessions as Sem
ator in the Legislature where his course was popu-
Tor and approved by his constituents. He 10, in
fact an extraordinary man. he never forgets what
he hears reads sees. There Is no give -out In him.
He is emphatcaly one Of the best managers of
the age. When Mt home he eats no idle bread
but is always employed--up before day with the
pillow or hoe In his hands He Is a farmer; a peo-
pies man; and the best representative we ever
had, without disparsgement to others who have
gone before him. We have more to say, but
must stop for the present
Culom, win you rum If SO, let us hear from
you. Speak out. You are not bashful. Give us
the password, and TO battle--we win GO
CONSTITUENTS.
We copy the above from the Nashville Re
publican Banner and Wing, and trust we may
be permitted, without subjecting ourselves to
the charge Of improper interference, to add
our testimony to the merits Of Gen. Cullom.
We doubt whether any member Of either
house Of Congress has in so brief space Of
time, acquired so high reputation for talents,
candor and manliness Of purpose, as the honor
able above alluded TO- to serve them In the
next Congress. 1t is no disparagement to any
other member Of Congress to say that, for bold
ness and directness Of purpose, for ability as a
debater, and for all the qualities which adorn
politician and gentleman, General Colon has
no superior in the present Congress.
We greatly miyudge his qualities IL there
be any political post under this government
which he would not adorn.

The Mayors Letter To President Pierce.


The following is the letter addressed by Mayor
Wood to the President, in reference to the ship
ment of foreign paupers and criminals to the port
of New York:
MAYORS oTncE, NEW YoRK, Jan. Q, 1855.
Has Exeeiieacy, Franklin Pierce,
President of the United States;
DEAR SIN: There can be no doubt, that for many
years. this port has been made a sort Of penal
colony for fclons and paupers, by the local author
ties of several Of the continental European nations
The desperate character Of portion Of the people
the increase Of crime and misery among that class
Of our population with other facts before us prove
conclusivey, that such is the case.
1t Is unnecessary TO refer to the gross wrong thus
perpetrnted upon this city IL requires from me
no ausion to the jeopardy Of our lives and prop
erty from this cause. Men who, by long career
Of crime and restitution have learned to recognise
no laws either civil or natural cannot fail TO pro-
duce feelings of terror at their approach.
The inherent right of every community TO pro-
tect itself from dangers arising from such emigra-
ton, cannot be questioned New York has submit
ted to II long enough The disease and pauperism
arriving here, almost daily from abroad, is, Of IT,
self sufficient evil; but when to IT is added crime,
we must be permitted to demonstrate. We ask the
interference of the general government as II Is its
duty TO protect us from foreign aggression, with
ball and cannon so is IL Its duty TO protect us against
an enemy more insidious and destructive, though
coming in another form.
call your attention TO this subject, hoping II
win receive from you that action which its very
great importance to the whole country demands
am very truly yours, &c,
FERNANDO WOOD, Mayor.

PROBABLE CHANGES IN THE BRrrIsH CABrNEr.--
IL Is said that the post of Secretary at War in the
British Cabinet win shortly be offered to the Earl
Dalhousie, who Is at present acting as Governor
General of India. Dalhousie il chiefly recommend
ed by his energy and vgor ofinteect; he acts moro
rapidly than other men think, and seldom notices
obstacles till he has surmounted them Such
man Is much needed at present in England. An
other change, which break up Of the present min
istry is likely to bring about, is the promotion Of
Lord Elgin late Governor Of Canada, who Is pretty
sure of succeeding Lord Dslhousie or OF entering
the Cabinet as Colonial Secretary. He Is aman of
undoubted ability and iswell known on this side tho

FOR THE AMERICAN ORGAN.
Rich and PresumptnOus.


1t has been our misfortune to have lived long
enough to have acquired knowledge Of some of
the expedients to which men, in their despera-
ton, win resort to gain position, power and Of
flee. Yet, with all our experience, VIC know Of
no OCCASION no offce-seekng policy, which has
furnished US with such clear, ocular view of
the interior workings Of an ofice-seekers brain
as the perusal Of letter and accompanying pa
per relative to the organization of the hospital
for the insane now nearly completed in this Dis
trict. We find, in executive document No. "a Of
the Cd session Of the SD Congress- a letter from
a physician of this city, who busted himself at
the Second ward polls at our last June election,
in his vain efforts to defeat the opponents of the
President, by whom he is occasionally invited to
apply, in his presence, his ingenuity and physi-
cal acumen to the healing art.
We viii briefly eptomize this rich and ludcrous
epistolary recommendation of ones self for an Of
fee. Here it is
/" As it was entirely through my fundamentally
the appropriation made by Congress for the
establishment OF an Asylum for the Insane" in this
District, and later conference with my friend
Senator Hunter, take the liberty to present the
following suggestions to the honorable secretary:
That there be president (of course he means
himself) to be medical man, the consulting
physician and surgeon of the institution, and the
presiding officer of the Board of Directors"
Is not this rich specimen Of spols-seeking
epstles Did any one ever witness such bold
and dashing feat, and all for an Office? Well,
we would respectfully recommend to Congress,
that If such an Office be created, they win not
affx to It any salary, we are apprehensive, in
consequence of the depiorabie hcalthness of the
city during the past year, that ere long there
might be a repetition Of the same benevolent
and gratuitous " desire to see IL properly organ

GERMAN Now IN TExAs.--We learn from the
papers Of Western Texas that the German popula-
ton of that State have taken it into their heads to
act as modihers Of the constitution and dictators
for the American people. They have met and re-
solved, that the American Constitution is pretty
good thing but that II needs revision and amend
ment by wise ones from the East
Things have come TO a pretty pass indeed,
when yassals and slaves from Germany, so boldly
attempt, here in very midst, TO introduce trea
sonable innovations for the observance of free
menin
The above is copied from the Atlanta (Ga.)
Republican of recent date, and manifests the
feeling of superiority entertained by German
philosophers and politicians, on their arrival
in the United States
These kind-hearted and liberal souls, resolve
that the Constitution of the United States is
"a pretty good thing" that is, tolera6ly tair,
considering how far behind the age we Ameri-
cans are in comparison with the wooden-shod
and leather-breeched children Of "fader land, "
and then, having paid US the above compli-
ment, they propose TO tinker 10 to suit the
progressive spirit of socialism and radicalism.
We do not question the fact that our people
have much yet to learn in the arts and sciences
generally, before they reach the point Of per.
lection, but, in tho matter Of self-government
on the plan of representative democracies and
confederated republic, there is not boy six
teen years Of age, in any Of our schools, who
does not better understand the principles on
which our governments are based, and the mo-
d,s 0peroadi thereof than any German politi-
clan who ever ate saurkraut for dinner.
When our cOuntrymen see such ridiculous
manifestations Of stupidity and ignorance as
those recorded in the above paragraph, it ID
enough to make them wish, as did Thomas
Jefferson and Silas Deane that there was an
ocean of liquid fire between this and the Old
World!
