:. a.. r,o,t unsetfsh of all o1n prom,nent pubic
- - y" .nd "a, practicai taIcAt there 70 no man who
nn,',s,es Nth him. Probably there will be some
.paICs. N the delegation 70 The Lower House; yet
IN ,pte of all that hss been said 20 their dsparage-
r,ent the people seem tOlerably well sa.ished with
them, = They are always on hand 70 vote, ana
generally VOTE night. Some Of them got hdle
m,,ti6ed last year, on the Minnesota bill;
Gov Banks apoIogized for them afterward, and the
people overlooked their blunder. So long as we
have a shrewd and able man like Wilson IN the
Senate TO take general survey Of the field, there is
but little risk in sending weaker men 10 the House
II is IN my opinion, great advantage 70 people
TO have for their representatives men VINO Gahoo'
reasonably look for any higher elevation. We re-
collect how Mr.. 2. c. Winthrop, being rising
man and natjons politician, lodged behind the
bar Of the House when the Wilmot Proviso came
up for his action, and thus gave the trst sign OF
that spinal defect which has made him confirmed
yaletudinarian. We have nothing OF this sOrt 70
complain Of in our present members. The weakest
of them never shows any such sign OF nhrmity.
However, presume that there will be disposition
10 make change in most Of those districts which
have been Represented two terms in Succession by
the same person. Mr.. BurliDgame may be regard
ed as the only safe man TO run IN hIs district Ihere
vas some talk of putting up Mr. Edward Greeley
LOrng against him; but there ID not to-day 90 uh-
important persOn in the whole State as Mr.. L0r-
ing. 10 tell tne truLD, We tlDc dDolitou4htS
are quite disappointed in the man and his resources.
He has been made the material for history and pO-
ltical controversy and that is all that there is OF
him. If the Hunkers put him up for Office, pro-
2, se that the Republicans run Dred Scott against
him.
There is but little local News here. The proposed
removal Of the Post Office makes some talk, and the
opponents Of the measure are busy collecting the
names OF remOnstrants. But, as Mr.. Capen has
do Mo hare 1
done about it, Probably the excitement will subside
in few days. When Government does It's duty,
and collects and distributes letters for the people, 1t
will not be a matter of much consequence where
the Central Office is situated
The Hon. Samuel Adams of Townsend, in Mid
dlesex County, who was member OF the Senate
which has Just adjourned, died on the 9TH INST
it is said by taking large dose of aconite which
had been prescribed as a lotion. There If some
dispute as to the terms Of the prescription. Mr.
Adams is reported to have said, just before he died,
that he took the dose in accordance with the drec-
tons Of his Doctor, but | am informed that the
Doctor denies that he gave such directions OF pre-
scribed acOnte in any form. Some mystery sur
rounds the unfortunate event. Mr.. Adans was
very respectable man.
One OF those ridiculous things, " Court Mar
tial" has been sitting IN Salem to investigate the
official conduct of Robert b. Cayery of Lowell, a
lawyer and captain of military company, who is
charged by the Adiutant-Ge with committing
some fraud in returning the number OF his men to
the Department. Capt Caverly stands trial, EN-
ploys able lawyers to defend him, appeals to the
Supreme Court on questions of jurisdlctlon and
acts as if it would be great calamity to be con-
victed His idea of glory is somewhat different
from that entertained by Hosea Bigow, who says
with much point and truth: Ell any thin e fool
Usher and moor dcklus than militerry gloary it s
milishy gloary."
