The Union members of the Legislature are
half Democrats and half Wings It will thus
be seen that there is not a Democrat elected to
the House except those who were on the Union
ticket in the first and sixth districts.
The Senate will stand as follows, in the po-
Jitical classification of its members:

GEN. CAss.-The New York journal Of Com
MERGE has letter from correspondent at
Buffalo, who, few days ago, returned from
Detroit, in which the writer says:
l spent forenoon with Gen Glass; The old
man s. still lives" in the autumnal glories of d
we'll spent life; is hale, hearty and worth four
millions His career has, indeed, been success
full He speaks in foreboding language of our
national prospects, and is strong in the belief
that disunion will yet carry its banners over
the republic.
The good old General needn't be so despond-
lent about the country. 1t is .sssfs" and
sound as venerable Bologna sausage, and
will continue safe and united, if not sound, as
long as there are as many ligaments Of self
interest to bind its various parts together as
there are now. Fanatics, fools, frouzy old
women, knaves, traitors and oharlatans, may
| rave and rant, and plot and mine, to their
hearts content, but all will be in vain. The
Union will last as long as it is the paramount
interest of the parties to the compact to keep
| it united, and we trust forever. At all events,
many years must elapse before that mutual in
terest in its continuance can be materially inn
paired, much less obliterated. The present
generation will not witness the disruption Of
the confederacy. Such, OF least, are our honest
convictions, looking at the matter in a business
point of view

ANOTHER CASE OF CONTEMPT OF CouRT.-A
case very similar to that of Passmore William
son recently occurred in the State of Indiana
The Common Pleas Prosecutor of Vanderburg
county had the clerk of that court sworn in open
court, and put to him the general question,
s'Do you know of any violations of the penal
lawss" The clerk refused to answer the ques-
ton, on the ground of its illegality. The court
held the question proper one, and on his again
refusing to answer, the clerk was sent to Jail
for contempt. A writ of habeas corpus was
obtained from Judge Davidson, Of the Supreme
Court, and the case examined before him The
court held that, although the question was an
improper one, and the witness not bound to
answer it, yet every court must judge for itself
what constitutes contempt Of its authority, and
no other could interfere to correct its acts in
such matters.
We find the above in Northern newspaper
II would seem to be equivalent to deciding that
there is no remedy for whatever wrong any
arbitrary and tyrannical judge may choose to
infict upon citizen under the pretext Of soon

GREAT EXCITEMENT. - Tremendous Demand
for Furniture Cars.-Our community was in
. great excitement yesterday forenoon. It was
supposed by some that the banks Of England
and France had suspended specie payments;
that the information had come in balloon
which landed about sunrise, in seven days from
Lands End; but great was the modification Of
the quid nuncs, when it leaked out the tumult
was accustomed by the arrival Of the mail boat
Florida, Capt. Frost. from Mobile, with 2l5
bags Of newspapers to Postmaster hewitt, and
that the furniture cars in the vicinity of the
railroad had only struck for one hundred per
cent. additional carriage for conveying the great
mass Of matter to Exchange Place where,
upon due examination, they proved to be the
great United States mails, due during the past
week, containing dates from New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore from the 7th to the 18th
inst, with the European mails by the Asia at
Boston. We breathe more free. The mighty
effort Of the POST Office authorities is accom-
plished for the first time this month, in having
the mails through within one day Of schedule
time. We live in hopes, because another mail
is expected to-day. So says the telegraph.

AMrABLE-VERY.--The following appeared in
L..fpant Courier, of st. Charles, of the 18th
inst The editor, we understand, is foreigner
by birth. This, while it gives him clear title
to superiority, in all respects, over the natives
of the United States, mentally, morally and
politically. at the same time endows him with the
indefeasible right to call Americans ssThugs,"
murderers, towards, or anything and every
thing else that is infamous, vile and dishonora-
BILE.
The Americans are worse off than the Israel
ties in Egypt. For them there was prom

guaranteed For the Americans there is no
such land. They have no place to 60 to; and
consequently there is little chance for success
