HoN. CHARLEs READY.

This gentleman having declared bis intention to
be candidate for reelection to Congress from the
eth district, great apprehension Is expressed by
portion Of his party that they will not be able to
elect him. In Wilson the apprehension seems not
70 spply exclusively to Mr.. READY, but to every
other know-notbiug Espirant ousids of their own
county, The point is plainly and distinctly made
that the nomination Of any other than a Wilson
county nan will result IN the election of demo-
Orat to Congress. Now, we have reason to believe
shat there Is bat one simple error in this conclusion
and that Is in supposing that the nomination Of
q Wilson man will avert the inevitable DOOM
Thousands who have bith erto acted in coed faith
with the kaoHenothing party are now satisfied
that it is Eonstrous humbug; and, really desiring
the good Of the country, are determined TO give
the incoming administration an honest support
and fair trial, ard to that end are willing to give
US g thorough democratic representation in Con-
gress.
The following is the ground on which the Lsbs-
non Hsrola basis It's opposition;
AIN justice to Col. Ready, our present able and
faithful Representative, ne desire to stale that,
personally OF politically, we have no objection to
him, We believe him to be bigh.mndej, hon
orable mAu, worthy CT the support and confidence
Of al parties. Our opposition to him is from :
sincere and honest conviction, arrived at by our
intercourse with the Americans and Wings Of this
county, that no man can carry this district sgaiDst
Col Howard unless he be 5 Wilson comfy man
We know Of 8 lumber Of prominent snd infuen-
tsl Americans who will take an active part in the
election Of Col Howard, not only against Colonel
Ready, but sgsinst any other man outside Of VIII

nARTNET MAKING.

Tbs opposition journals and letter writers, after
hsvipg worried themselves good deal, seem 70
have run through with their Cabinet speculations.
Every prominent Democrat in the country, that
could be thought Of in the connection, has been
assigned . place In the Cabinet Nj. BUCHANAN,
during his recent visit to Washington, gave these
gentlemen to understand that be would decline all
their Cabinets and when tie time came, make one
for himself. We have reason to believe that up to
the time the President es5t left Washington be
had not fxed upon 80 much ss one Of bis Cabinet
advisers; and We are equally well assured thst
when be does 60 though it may not be just such
= selection as every body else would have made
it will give satisfaction to bis psrty and confidence
to the country in the success Of his administration.
This Csbinet-msking is not 90 important in the
eass of Mr.. BUCHANAN as 1t has been in several
instances with the opposition. Mr.. B. has the
craftsmanship and experience to make an admin.
isrstion for himself He will be the President and
not his Cabinet. The same could not have been

A REAnrIErI. RnInaY


Nothing could nave besn more beautiful and ans
propriste than the following remarks of General
QU1rMAE, made in the House on the occasion Of the
death Of Hon. PREsToN S. Books:
Mr.. Quitman, Of Mississippi, said cannot per
init this sad occasion to pass without adding few
words to the eloquent Just and appropriate tribute
which las been psld to the memory Of the lament
ed deceased by bis friend and colleague.
He, whose sudden and untimely death we now
mourn was also my friend. Years sgo, when the
first down of manhood was upon his cheeks,
kew him, had seen him st Vera Cruz, sharing
with ais men the pTivatious, the dangers, and the
trlumphs OF that famous siege. Whether march
ing through the sCorchug sands Of tropical shore
or trsversing the frosty mountain passes, he ever
exhibited the serene cheerful and determined iesr'
ing OF the soldier and gentleman. In sunshine and
IN rain, BY day and by night, when pinched by
hunger and thirst as well as when surrounded
with plenty, he well performed his duty.
he was an officer Of that gallant Palmetto regi-
meat which, on bright day in March, formed its
line OF 1000 men on the beach of Vera Cruz, and
which, when six months afterwards, its flag, soiled
by the smoke OF battle, was planted on the gates
OF Mexico, could muster but 800 men ft for duty.
Its brave and accomplished commander, Col Pierce
| Butter, Who fell on the CORY field Of Oburubusco
was the blood knsman Of the deceased. Its second
nelu O1ceEI Lieut.. COl Uckinson, having Ial eL
on the same day, and its msjor, GLADDEN., severely
wounded At the Belen gate, the command deyolved
| upon Cspt DanlaVsnt, the brother-in Law of the
| deceased.
On the very battle field on which the standard
| of that regiment fosted, though bathed in Carroll
mas best blood, it was ever borne to victory. Sucl
was my confidence in the officers and men of tina
regiment that, had it ever been my lot to see tina
proud flag laid 10 " upon the bloody field, woul'
have looked to ind beneath its tsttered folds th'
corpse Of the last survivor of that gallant band
Five Of the relations of the late Capt. Preston
8. Brooks fell in the last battles of the valley o
Mexico. He himself had been compelled, by Sc
we're illness to return home, and did lot rejoin hi
regiment until after the capture of the imper.a
city.
At the commencement Of this Congress, ate
years Of separation, again met my former com
rade on this floor, and received daily evidence c

His soul was the abode of integrity and honor
His intercourse with his fellow men was distin

TIE CONGRESSIONAL CORRUPTION COMMITTEE

TIE CONGRESSIONAL CORRUPTION COMMITTEE
Notwithstanding the committee appointed by
the House to investigate the charges of corruption
preferred against it's members has failed to make
such exposure to the country as the circumstances
warranted, by reason of the refusal of parties to
testify and the inability Of the committee to force
them, it has not been without sslutory effect
What was heretofore know to but few, though
Euspiconed by many, that Congress was fast be-
coming the central point of the worst system of
corruption that could sfct the country, is now 80
generally admitted and understood that the popular
mind will not cease % interest itself upon the sub.
jeot until that body is, to some extent st least,
purged Of the evil and dishonor that rests upon It.
It is striking fact in the history Of this matter,
and one worthy ofnote, that no Southern man has
been implicated in these suspicious. If the charges
preferred had come from Southern men, or the
subject bad partaken Of a party bias, it might be
attributed by some 10 influences of this sort. But
such is not the case. Both the parties accusing
and the parties suspiciOned are Northern men and
sbohtionists. If the South IVES what the North
is in private and public morals, our republican in
sttutions our peace, safety and honor IS g nation,
could not be preserved day longer. There is yet an
essential difeTeace, and when the South ceases TO
have the controlling influence that she has exercised
from the foundation of our institutions, that mo.
msnt the government will commence its decline.

A SLAVE STATE on TIE PAoIFIo The democrat
ic members Of the Legislature owe it to the party
and to the nation to require the most unqualified
and uureserved pledge Of soundness on the princi-
Piles of the Ksnsss-Nebraska act, from those upon
whom they confer the dignity of tie Senstorship.
We would be dereliOt in our dutp if we did not,
on all seasOnAble occasions, urge upon those haV
ing the public inteTetts in their keeping the impor
lance of precuddg, for the future, as far as may
be possible all chances or accidents by which the
Union OF the rights Of citizens of the United
States in any action of the country, may be placed
in jeopardy.
We have no h sitsti1n in asserting the proba~
bilty hat before the lapse six years, the Senate
of the Uuited States will be called upon for the
practical seTtion Of the principle Of that law by
the sdms siOn Of a slave State on the Pacific coast,
north OF SO degrees and thirty minutes. Will the
Senator from California be prepared to advocate
with al and energy, the right of the people of
such State to decide upon their own institutions,
without reference to geographical linesl This is a
question for which every ssprant for Senatorial
houOrs should have an uDhesitating answer; and
We confidently trust that those only who give
prompt aud decided affirmative will be deemed to
be entitled to any consideration at the hands OF

TsEAs AND ARKAxsAs.-The emigration to these
