Francis T.. B.air,s Letter

We intend publishing this letter OF Mr..
BLAIR TO the Republican Association of Wash
ington, next week. In the meantime, by way
Of introduction, We clip the following from
the Cincinnati Gazette Of the 18Th. The Ga
zette says: Mr.. BLAIR's high political con
nections. and his long experience in politics,
give great weight to what he says, and will
attract the attention of all who take any inter
es, in politics 10 this letter. The Washington
Uuion, of course. has launched lis thunders
at him, and is overwhelming him with the
foolish and vulgar abuse in which it is So ready
TO indulge Sober, right thinking men, even
in the Democratic party, will not be greatly
influenced by anything it may say, but viii
give Mr.. BLAIR's letter the candid considera
ton which SO able document, emanating from
a man whose sympathies are all Southern.
ben. himself native OF Kentucky, and a
resident of MARYLAND, is entitled. The extract
from the Union, which we copy below, shows
how intimately Mr.. BLAIR was connected with
Gen. JACKSON, with whose political notions
we may, therefore, suppose him to be thor
oughly acquainted. while the letter itself shows
that he now occupies, upon the SUBJECT Of sla
very extension, the very position of JEFEER-
SON, and large majority of the great states
men of the early days of the Republic The
degenerate Democracy of cur day. however,
has become the defender. the apologist. and
the fool of Slavery. and repuIia!es and spiss

it has long used to impose upon its followers

CoscREss-In the Senate, but little bust
ness has been transacted. The standing com
mittees were appointed, having first been ar
ranged in caucus by the locofoco majority.
As usual, majority Of all the important ones,
are pro slavery and intensely locofoco. The
election of printer to that body. has excited
considerable interest. II seems that the ma
jority are unable to agree upon the publish
ers of the Union without taking Forney also,
into the firm.
In the House, no further progress has been
made in the election of Speaker. Several
balotings have been had on each day, up to
Monday evening. with nearl the same results
as for week previous; Banks woe being
los, Fuller 40, Richardson IS. scattering I.
A few northern Anti Nebraska ut nlbers still
refuse TO unite with those who vote firmly for
Banks, and they should be held responsible
for the long continued disorganization of the
House Among the number We are sorry to
notice George c. Dunn of this state, who has
thrown away his vote on Fuller. in comPa-
ny with several pro slavery Representatives
from the south. We had hoped better things
of this talented gentleman.
The whole of Tuesday last was spent IN
discussing resolution proposing to elect a
Speaker by plurality vote. and adjourned
without decision.

Death and Sleep, the angels of slumbcr and
of death in bro:herlike embrace wandered
ever the earth. L: was evening. They re-
clined upon hill not far from the habitations
of men. 4 melancholy stiffness reigned
around, and the evening bell in the far distant
villa re had ceased TO sound. Still and silcn.
as is their custom, sat both these benehcen!
guardian angels of human race IN cordial en-
brace, and already night was approaching.
Then arose the angel of slumber from his
moss-covered couch and scattered with noise
,ess hand the invisible seeds OF slunber The
evening wind carried them to the still habi-
tation of the tired husbandman. Now sweet
sleep enfoIied in its arms the inhabitants OF
the rural cottage from the grey haired sire
who leans upon his stall, 10 the infant IN the
cradle. The sick man forgot his pain. the
mourner his sorrow, and the poor man his
cares. All eyes were closed Now after his
task was ended, this benefcent guardian lay
down again by the side Of his s:erner brother!
When the morning dawn appears" cried he
with joyful innocence, "taen will the world
praise NE as their friend and benefactor. o
what iov unseen and secretly to do good
How happy arc we invisible messengers OF the
Good Spirit How beautiful Is our still voca
toni So spake the friendly angel OF slumber
The death angel looked at hin with sien
sadness, and tear, such as the immortals
weep, stood in his great dark eye. "Ah. .
sp.ke he. ''sLat l eanuo. az thou. rejoice ia
these thanks; the world calls me its enemy. and
the destroyer of its peace!" 20 my brother. .
answered TIE angel of sleep, will not the
pious man awaking, recognize in thee his
friend, and thankfully bless theee Are We not
brothers, and messengers Of one father" So
spake he, the eye of the death angel glestened
and the bro:herly genii tenderly embraced
each other.

There has been more intoxicating drinks
sold to citizens of Indiana. according TO the
statement Of Cincinnati liquor dealers during
the existence of this law, than at any former
period of time prior TO the law, thus showing
that the practice Of indulging was not dimin
ished, but fos;ered in the most fearful and dan
gerous manner. ''-Jffersonian.
