AN OLD SENAToR.-The Hon. Mr.. Bradley,
an old Senator from Vermont, visited WASH

chamber. He represented the State Of Ver-

capitol ut the time the British made
their attack upon it. The Senators general.
" crowded around him TO listen to his re.
miniscences of the past, his jokes and stories
which were related with great vivacity, and
caused much entertainment. The venerable
gentleman weighs about two hundred and
fifty pounds. He visited Washington the
last time, during Gen. Jackson's adminstra.
ton, his account of his visit to the General
is characteristic.

THE HUNTINGTON TRML-If cnrelessness

certainly it would seem that the mouey dealing
fraternity of Wall street must be tho most
confding class Of this entire christian commu.
nifty. The evidence ELECTED at the trial of
Huntington yesterday, exhibits on the face
of il, a mode of doing business which, if uni.
versal, stamps Wall street either as an Arcadia
of innocence and simplicity, or phalansiery
ofcareess capitalists. Mr.. Huntington seems
to have carried on his most gigantic opera
tions by series of coups de main Here, ,'he
says to broker, lend me twenty or thirty
thousand dollars on my note at three days,
and these checks amounting to thirty thou.
sand dollars as collateral security. He thrusts
into the brokers' hand his note, and half a
dozen checks on well known houses-all of
these checks being filed up in the same hand
writing and on the same printed forms, and
the signatures such palpable forgeries us to
bear little or no resemblance to the originals,
and yet will il be believed, the money is lent
without the shadow of security.-New York

UrAH-Accorling To census recently
taken In the territory Of Utah, it appears
that ths population, exclusive Of some thin

not been received, amounted 10 77,000.-
Late accounts trom Salt Lake state that dele.

said territory into the Union. They are TO
bring proof that the Territory contains the
requisite population to rntitle her to ndmis--
zion; also, draft of the constitution adort' d
by u convention assennbl for that purpose
at the City of Salt Lake. THIS c"nstii ution,

Of government required by the constitution,
provides tor the federation Of al! shades at
religious belief, and makes no mention OF
either the question of slavery or that Of po-

ry handbills are constantly affixed to the
walls of Paris, and th,t too, during the day
time, Notwithstanding the continual presence
of the police. To discover the mode IN which
it is done, defeats the ingenuity of tho Off
cials, till some accident betrays the offender;
and then the detected nrtifce is abandoned
and a new one saplysa. A rag picker was
recently observed to test his basket against
a wall. When he removed there was one Of
the terrible placards staring at all passers by,
and defying the EmpeFor's myrmydons. Ex-
animation of the basket revealed little ur-

ExAGeERATIoN.-It is now admitted that
the reported slave insurrection in Harrison
county, Texas, proves to have been greatly
exaggerated. The committee charged with
the investigation of the matter reports that
there is no evidence Of any concert among
the slaves, nor are any whites implicated.-
The Alexandria Gazette also says that the
rumors relative to the rising Of the negroes
in that section have not lost anything by re.
petition. The old proverb that "a rolling
stone gathers no moss" does not apply to
all cases.

THE NEXT FEDERAL APPoRrIosMEsr.-
Taking the popular vote in the northwest,
and estimating the increase for the next four
yeas, the Boston Atlas estimates that Wis.
cohsin, Iowa, Michigan, In diana and Illinois
will be Untitled to IS representatives in Con.
gress, in place of the 80 which they now
send to tho House. The present House
contains 80 members from the slave States,
and lao from the free States. Under the
next apport6nment, the free States will have
about two to one. This alarming result will
be due almost exclusively to the vast influx
of foreigners into those States, and the facil.
ity with which they have been metamor.
phosed into American citizens. The Demo.
cratic party propose to Keep in force the sys
tenn by which this crushing preponderance
has been given to the freesoil States. New.
ertheless they will swear to you by the
hour that they are the best, il not the only,
friends the South has.

A SLAVE IN MAME.-The Bangor Journal
says that some time since, sen captain Of
Frankfort, in the Stats of Maine, hired a
slave in Southern port to go to sea with
him in the capacity Of servant to himself and

to him, he prevailed upon them to purchase
him, and he remains with the lady at Frank
fort, voluntarily as servant, taking care Of
the children, and making himself as useful as
he has capacity for.

sw It is alleged in the public prints that
coalition has been agreed on between the
Democrats and Black Republicans in the Indi.
ana Legislature in regard to the election of
United States Senator. At the last session
of the Legislature the Democrats prevented
the election Oft Senator, and at the approach.
ing session the Republicans will have it in
their power to prevent the Democrats from
electing one; but there are two to be elected
and, upon the principle that half loaf is bet
ter than no bread, It seems the Democrats
have agreed to divide the spoils and elect
Jesse d. Bright, Freesol Democrat, and
George w. Julian, an ultra Abolitionist.-
Thus, remarks the Louisville Journal, we
find this very disiuterested Democracy always
ready for bargain with anything or every
thing, anybody or everybody, to procure a
share of the public spoils.
