THE INSANE CoYGREssMAN-The case of the Hon.
Clarke B. Cochrane member Of Congress from Western
New York, whose insanity has already been mentioned,
exces much sympathy. The New York News says:
Mr. Cochrane when he first entered political life, was
firm consistent Democrat He induced to join Mr..
Van Burens faction in ls4s aud taken back again
into the Democratic ranks with most of that faction i'll
1882. But in 1885, his free SOIL abolition procivities
strong, that he with Potter Preston King and
many thousands of the Van Buren, faction in our State,
bid farewell to the Democracy. He was elected to Con-
gress in 1856, and reelected in 1853. The Geographic
dispatch says that it is thought the exciting scenes in
Congress induced his sickness and insanity. We believe
that Mr.. Cochrane honest but misled by Potter,
KING and other associates lie endorser OF Help

The views of NJ. Jefferson on almost every subject,
are looked upon with great favor by the Democracy and

letter written John Taylor Of Caroline dated June l.
1873, Mr. jefferson said:
