Union, written at Auburn, on the Sd inst
MEssRs EDIToRs In the speech delivered
yesterday in the Senate, by senator Ander-
son, upon the Broderick resolutions, he says:
"For his part he could say that he nowhere

stion of Speaker of the other branch of this Leg

upon of a personal nature. have no desire to

E5B- James II. Hardy has been appointed
District Judge of the new District recently
created by the Legislature. 1t is said that Mr..
Hardy lobbied the bill through. Cow eller,
who denounced lobbying in his last message,
appointed him. The question is now raised
whether Mr.. Hardy is legally the Judge of
that District, inasmuch as the Constitution
only gives the Governor power to appoint
when any office shall, from any cause, be-
come vacant" An office cannot become va
can't unless it has once been filed This
would seem to be good logic. Well, it is all
the work of Lecomptonism, and Lecompton-
ism is all right of course

e9S- The Washington correspondent Of the
New Orleans Crescent, refers to Senator
Douglas in this manner
"Mr. Douglas triumphant procession hith-
erward occasions small comfort to the Ad-
ministration. The pangs of Jealousy are ag-
gravated by fear lest the decisive foreign
policy outlined by Mr. Douglas in his New
York speech shall become the theme of one
of those stirring Senatorial efforts for which
the Little Giant" is remarkable 1t is desir-
able for the South that Mr.. Douglas should
take the highest possible ground in relation
to foreign affairs, and particularly to those of
Central America and Mexico. In the issue
of his exertions to shame the Administration
into prompt and manly policy, it will be
seen whether the Democratic party, which
claims to be the party ofthe South, land, in
deed, the South has now no other,) cares
more for the South and for the honor of the
Republic than for party existence. party IL
deity, and party feuds. 1t will be seen
whether the Administration is actuated by
high, honorable and patriotic motives, or by
petty anmosity and private Jealousy; in fine,
whether Mr. Buchanan, his Cabinet, and the
Democratic party proper, love the country
more than they hate Douglas

OPIUM EATING IN New YoRK.-The New
York Post is showing the extent, magnitude
and influences of opium eating in this coun-
try. 1t says:
"The importation of this drug has increas.
ed beyond the ratio of the increase of popu-
lation. The amount now passing through
the Now York Customhouse annually falls
but little below 100000 lbs, and the ports
of Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
Orleans must triple that quantity. Not a
tenth part of it can be required for medical
prescriptions The average to the popula
tion equals if it does not exceed, that used
in China and the Indian Archipelago
Inquiry among the druggists in the diff
ferent wards of New York and Brooklyn,
would seem to establish that the use of opium
actually increases from year to year at a
ratio of about 80 per cent Some dealers,
evading direct answers, give the impression
that they only sell to fill out medical pre-
scriptions; but in one or two such instances,
it is found that the income derived by them
from the sale is no unimportant or unprofta
BILE item in their accounts. Others, more
frank, have acknowledged that they sold
many times more than the quantities requir-
ed by Prescriptions.
Few consumers of the drug, however, OBJ
tain their supplies from one apothecary; de-
string to conceal their habit from observa-
tion, they procure them from several shops.
We are confident that the amount sold in any
one drug store in ward is more than ample,
as a general rule, to meet the wants Of the
physician. Yet the number of such shops in
this city is counted by hundreds. The guam
tity consumed here annually must average
from one to two ounces for every adult inhab-
liant and possibly more 1t seems to be used
more in the eastern than in the western side
of the town, and more in Brooklyn than in
New York"

the Lecompton move for having an organ in

The Simon pures of both Houses held
caucus last night to advise on the organ ques
tion. We were thar We did not see the
Union reporter present, so concluding the
press was not counted in, we kept shady.
Well in solemn conclave assembled, it was
there decided that we were to have a new
organ here edited by Judge Bolts, with its
business management under the control of
Gelwicls & Co, of the Mountain Democrat.
From this we infer that the National was
considered too ponderous and heavy con
