HON Caller cJ1sUING

We perceive by tho Boston journals that Hon.
Caleb Gushing is about to engage in the practice of
the law in that city in conjunction with Sidney Web
stcr, esq, formerly private secretary to President
Pierce The whole country, we believe, are agreed
in regard to the commanding intellect, profound cru
dton, and almost marvellous attanmens of the late
Attorney General of the United States; and as long
as he remains at the bar, presume there will be
but few important in the higher courts of Mas
sachusetts in which his professional services will not
be retained. His associate and junior, Mr.. Webster,
is peculiarly well qualified to win and retain the con
6dence of the business community y-clear-headed,
literally educated, of large experience, and prompt
and persevcring in the discharge of official duty.
The proposed partnership has elected the follow
ing notice from the Boston Post:
Tho Boston public, we confident will be pleased
TO learn the fact that these gentlemen contemplate open
ing an Office here for there Is want of such talent at
the Boston bar they will bring to IT, Gen. Cushing
genius, eruditon wellsored and acute legal mind will
find ready and ample employment in this great CONNER
cial mart while the careful business habits severe pro-
essiona trimming, and highly understanding
of Mr. Webster qualify him. very happily for the associa

THE SUCCESSION.

Our political adversaries seem to be amusing them
selves with spccuations concerning the successor OF
President Buchanan. Their purposes are quite APP
parent however much they may attempt to disguise
them. They have great leading object in view
and that is to distract divide, and conquer the de-
mocracy. They know that there arc in the demo.
cratic ranks large number of men of talents, ex-
perience, and integrity who are qualified for the
presidency, and who may be safely elected to that
high Office They are equally conscious of the fact
that the enemies of the democracy have never elected
man to the presidency who has not proved his en-
tire incompetency unftness, and failed to com,
mand the votes of his countrymen for reelection.
All they now expect is not an ascendency of their
principles, but they hope to occasion division OF
the democracy, through which to secure plurality
election, and chance at the federal Offices They
anticipate consequences from democratic division
which they never expect from consideration OF
tho merits of their principles 1t rests with the dem
ocratc party to determine whether they will invite
defeat by divisions upon question to be decided
three years hence which may involve issues yet to
cous and true friend of the democracy will lend him
SELF or permit his friends, far to become the in
strumont of our enemies now to devote those en-
ergies to the question Of succession which should be
directed to the overthrow of our old and untirng
enemy

THE FALL OF STILL ANOTHER POLITICAL
PARSON.

One after another of the political clergy Of the
country being exposed for their moral delinquen-
cics. The last we have TO record is rom the
Galena Mercer county, 0ho) Standard Of the Sd
inst, which says that the Rev. Wesley Brock, who
is one of the oudest blackrepublicans in the North
west, old minister, and recently president elder
of the district has beon guilty of the crime Of seduc-
ton, and the lady whom ho has scduced has com
menccd legal proceedings against him. The Stand
ard, in noticing the matter, says:
'We do not give publicity to this debasng crime of
Mr. Brock with any intention of injuring the Church.
Far from IT, Our sympathes have always been with the
denomination of which he has been leading, but now
fallen star But have always thought, and still be-
evc that long the Church permits its preachers to
dabbe In politics TO the neglect Of their religious duties
it is SHINING against itself in not silencng the renegades
Immediately. BY such course the Church would soon
regain the ground lost in the past few years and restore
confidence among the people; long political preach
ing is allowed il will continue TO suffer

JOSEPH HOLT. ESQ.

An article in the Union Of this morning, relative to the
newly appointed Commissioner of Patents contains
or two slight errors which, for the sake of the truth Of
history may well be at corrected The article
treats Of Mr. Hos great and eloquent speech in the Ma
tiona Democratic Convention at Baltimore, which nomi-
mated Van Buren, for President and johnson for Vice
President That convention held in May, 1886, and
not in 1886 rs the writer states This is Of the
slight errors wish to have corrected Another error Is
the statement that Mr. Holt stood the entrance or
door Of the church. where the conventonwa In session.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF CONFESSIONS.


When young America, being charged with some
school offence, was informed if he would confess the
fact of having committed it, this would save half of
thepunshment, he replied hathe would confess twice
and save the whole. The blackrepublican organs in
New York seem disposed to profit by this peculiar
precedent.
A resolution passed the Legislature at Albany last
winter to amend the constitution, placing whites and
negroes upon the same level as electors, which was
deposited in the executive chamber where il slept
until dead with suspicious that it had been strangled
by his excellency. In attempting to avert the
picon of playing false to the negroes, these journals
have resorted to the precedent Of young America,
and claim immunity account Of multiplicity of
confessions. They seek 10 screen Governor King
from censure for cuppressing the negrolcvelng res
olution by insisting that he srangled another asking
an amendment Of the constitution authorizing lcgsla
tive protection Of the rights of the voter at the polls
Doubling whether this would prove sufficient, they
confess to half dozen other omitted executive du-
ties growing out Of Legislative resolutions
We suspect they have proved too much to excuse
or screen his excellency for having omitted TO per-
form his appropriate duties An excuse may answer
a young American Juvenile, but fails to old
blackrepublican King, who swore to obey and exc
cute the constitution and laws.

When such writes he will instinctivey the
words which best convey his IDEAS his language will be
appropriate, and the readers ingenuity will not be task

refreshing to meet with writer who, like Judge Black
recommends to our favor his just views and weghty
thoughts by the graceful garments in which he arrays
them He who runs may read and he who reads re-
