Mr. NORRIS: I notice in your last issue
an editorial accoant of the death of Mrs
Kiger-a very estimable, aud for many
years highly respected lady of our vii
lage. To speak of her as she was known
and appreciated by US, as kind and duti-
full daughter to her aged parents, as an
affectionate and loving Mother-as kinG
neighbor. OF as an exemplary christian
is not particularly tse design of the pres
ent communication. The duty of paying
this just and merited tribute to the memo
ry of departed friend l will leave to
more competent hands.
1t appears that the deceased had for
some time been in the enjoyment of but
moderately good health, and for several
weeks had been at times quite melancholy,
enough SO to attract to some extent the
attention of her friends and neighbors;
but not sufficient to lead them to antici-
pate the melancholy and fatal result.
1t is in view of this, that have con-
cluded to prepare short article on affec-
tions of the brain for your paper, hoping
thereby to impart some information to the
public, that will, if acted upon, tend in no
inconsiderable degree to prevent the ap-
parent inexcusable neglect with which
affections of the brain are generally treat
ed by the public, and to contribute my
mite towards the removal of the lamenta-

gentlemen:

Letters had been received previous to
the Convention, from ROBERT j. WALKER
HENRY A. WISE, and Senator BoDERIcK,
of California. and others, one of which
we insert as follows:
WASHINGTON CRY, March 5th, ,5s.
MEssRs H. B. PAYNE AND OTHERS, CON-
MITTEE - Gentlemen:-You letter of the
22d inst. has been received, inviting me
to attend and address mass meeting of
the Democracy of Ohio on the 10th of
this month. l regret that it is impossi-
BILE for me to be with you on that occa-
sion, but most cordially concur in the
great object of your meeting.
For the 6rst time in our history, an ef-
feet is now made to force Constitution
and government upon an inchoate State,
against the well known will of large
majority of its people. Nothing can be
more clear or convulsive than the evidence
demonstrating the fact, that an overwhel.
ming majority of the people of Kansas are
opposed to the Lecompton Constitution
This is indicated by the disfranchisement
of half the counties of Kansas 10 the elcc.
tion of Delegates to the Constitutional
Convention; by the skeleton vote given to
those Delegates. averaging no: mere than
thirty for each; by the withholding of the
Constitution by the Convention, against

tB The Lansing Mirror is growing warm
against Williams. Here is CaAra leader of
last week. We guess the men who secure that
nomination for the Judge, are beginning to
think that a little more consultation with the
rotcrs of the District would have been benef-
cal. 1t will also be seen from clip from the
North Towan that Judge Ripley, of Floyd, a
warm Republican, will support MoClintock.
From the Lansing Mirror.
The Judgeship.
ii was our determination. after publishing the
proceedings of the West Union Convention. and
merely declining to support Judge Williams,
for what we deem good and sufficient reasons,
then stated, to have nothing more to say for or
against either Of the candidates for the Judge
ship. After reading the letter from Hon. Judge
MURDocK, which we published last week. and
which has been substantiated in all its charges
by as good men as there are in Clayton county,
whom we have seen personally, and conversed
with, we should come far short Of our duty as a
public journalist, aye, as a Republican, 10 main
tain contemplate neutrality. We have yet
to learn that the Republican party has become
SO low as to be under the control and subject
to the dic'ation ola clique ofunrrincipled office
seekers, who, as they avow. have friends to re-
Ward anu enemies 10 punlSh ana VINO are
threatning dire consequences to those who re-
fuse to succumb. We have no fears Of Judge
Williams, and his threats, SO far as they apply
to us, fall unheeGed. We have, however, con-
scicncious convictions of right, and we believe
it to be the duty Of every Republican, not only
to Withhold his support from Judge Williams,
but to use all honorable effort to defeat his eec-
ton. A man who will manifest the vindict We
spirit exhibited by him is unfit for the office of
District Judge, and the interests of the people
are unsafe in his hands
The Republican party. outside of the imme
date interests OF the is Nal,ia- Williams CLIQUE
we believe will support us this position. 1t is
made up of the wrong material to be whipped
in to the support of men merely because they
have succeeded in obtaining party nominal
ton. 1t is base, slavish, craven spirit, which
will give up its independence and allow others
to dictate its course in the exercise Of God given
rights, and we thank God that there is so little
of it among Republicans.
We are 10th to believe that there is an hon.
est Republican, who really desires the welfare
OF the party, who will not vote for Judge Nc.
Clintock in preference to Judge Williams, after
reading Judge Murdock's letter. None can
help believing it, even on Judge Murdock's
bare testimony. He is not man to make such
statements without sufficient cause and even
if further proof were necessary, it can easily be
obtained.

both the Editors Of this paper that it would be
well for the Democrats to nominate only can

himself to go on our ticket. "In this way
Williams could be beaten" While he was
talking this treason to his own party to US in
front of the American, Williams came up and
Hildreth "dropped his head like a guilty thing

Judge the double-dealing OF this Boston pre-

From the Dunleith Advertiser, independent Rep)
Mr.. Vandever.

N0r. Vanoevef.
Judging from the tone of the Iowa press, and
the different opinions on popular sovereignty"
expressed by Mr.. VANDEvER, the Republican
candidate for Congress in the Dubuque Con.
gressional District, that gentleman certainly
occupies most unenviable position. During
the commencement of the campaign, the strife
between him and his opponent, Mr.. LEFFINa-
WELL, who is an Anti-Lecomptoh Democrat,
was to see which worshipped the shrine Of
"popular sovereignty the most. Mr. VANDE-
NER, more than once on the stump. in answer to
the question if he would vote for the admission
Of a State with Slave Constitution, il such
was the expressed will of the people therein,
replied that he would. In order, however, to
satisfy of his friends. little stronger faint
cd with Aholitonism than he bad protested on
the stump, under date Sept. 10Th, Mr.. V. wrote
him a letter. though not intended for publica-
ton, but which has been printed; said letter
concludes with this paragnph-mark the por-
ton we have italcised -
81 have said, and peat it. that if Slavery
is only excluded from the Territories Of the
Union, if the Government will, as it should do,
but outlaw such an odious institution, l am,
under such circumstances, perfectly willing to
leave the whole responsibility with the preople
at the formation of their State Government
Eut euen under those circumstances lcould not
uote for the admission of State ,chosc C0nstitu-
ton expressly egalized the institution of slauery
for the simple reason that could not regard such
Constitution as Republican,"
There is cons istency. with vengeance We
have watched with no little interest this contest
between VANDEvER and LEFFINGwELL, and il

tleman it has most assuredly been very c0nsid

Was ever such an hrmiliating position for q
politician We supposed when it would come
10 the admission Of such State he would skull
out of the halls Of Congress. and let it come
in without his aid We should like to vote fol
such man to stay at home then he would
have no occasion for the dodge.
We hold to the position that whenever the
people of territory declare in favor of the in
sttution Of slavery, fairly and constituiionally
and having the requisite population, it mus
come into the Union. There is no dodgin1
this point, and il Mr.. VANDEvEa or any othe
man in the North West gets elected 10 th,
National Legislature upon a contrary grount
we are very much mistaken. Even Mr.. LIN
COLIN, in Illinois, against whom so much ha
been said upon the negro question, accedes t.

Personal.-We had the pleasure last week Of
call from FRANK PEAsr, Esq, Editor of the
Wawkon Herald. Pease, like ourselves, is
only an apprentice at the newspaper business,
but he has the ambition and the sensitiveness
to get up paper that will bear comparison
with his contemporaries. The Herald is an
immense Improvement ON Belfoy's paper at
Wawkon, and We have no doubt that Pease
will continue TO render it still more interesting
with each succeeding month of its issue. So
cially, FRANK suits US exactly.

ed us with call. He is returning to Massa-
chusetts from western tour with his family.
