P. S. Later news, says he is better again.
- r N - We copy with pleasure the following notice
of an old friend (Capt. Wu. P. BR.A.DT of Clinton
county) who filled tie post of Assistant Sergeant
at Arms for the Senate when we were in the Trans
cribing room of that body a few years ago, turd
who still has a subordinate station there. Hisldnd
and amiable manners seem to make him a person
al favorite with all parties in the Senate, as he was
deservedly so then.
"Kindness is one of the most beautiful elements
in the character of a gentleman. We never could
bear to see harshness and ill temper in any atse.
Especially has it ever been painful to us to BCC it
towards children. Their little affections should be
encouraged and drown out, and not be crushed or
hardened by sourness or oppression.
But kindness and good nature is no where so
proper and indispereMble, and their contraries so
oppressive and hateful as in officials—the servants
!of the public, who receive emoluments for the
:discharge of public duties. Yet we often see
' j fellows clothed in a "little brief authority," who
;seem entirely to forget their origin, and their
duties. In most of these uses, the incumbents
could not :be gentlemen in any situations. They
Were not born or bred to be such, and have not the
qualifications-by art.
But we oceasixmally observe a striking instance
even in humble official stations, of men who so
discharge their duties, are so cautious and kind in
pie manner of conferring favors, that the recipient
At orce puts them down as gentlemen, however
humble may be their garb. We have in. our eye
an instance of- this kind, in the person of Captain

depeelment as an official it would be well if some
Of the others, especially in the House, would strive
to imitate. Captain Brady is the gentleman whose
ease was so eloquently called to the attention of
tha iSernite by Oonorai 'Archer -Ow-commence
thent of the session, when he was unanimously ap
pointed to his present post without the formality
of a vote by yeas and nays. His appointment was
a just, though humble tribcte to his worth. The
compliments paid to himby General Packer, it is
believed. were eminently 'deserved.
: Captain Brady belongs to a martial family. He
nephew of the veteran General Brady of the U.
Army. His grandfather was killed at an early
day by the Indians, and his father bore a conspicu
' ens part in the early Indian wars, as well as in the
Revolution, having been wounded at the tattle of
Brandywine. The Captain at the commencinent

RA - Broad Meeting in the Western part of

C lll MALT was appointed President; Hon. CAI -

Glidden, Esq.. and John 13.. WiLson., Secretaries.—
Tie object of the meeting being stated to be for
114 purpose of conferring together upon the subject
of (Locating the Legg,et's Gap Railroad, the follow
ing Preamble and Resolutions were unauimou-lc
adipted :
Whereas, preparations are now being made to ,
locate the Legget's Gap Railroad from Leg,get',-,
Grp i , in Luzerne county, through the, county of
Su uehanna to the New York and Erie B.ailroad ;
an the said road, if judiciously located, will have
a iendency greatly to develope the resources of
an t t benefit this county, as well as to serve for tbe
tu sit of coal: and the members of this meeting
. believing that the object ul the said Road is not
4
o the conveyance of coat but the benefit of the
• us agricultural, manufacturing. and • other in
ter sts of the county through which it may pass ;
4 l efore

th
teiolved, That a. survey of a route for the said
road along the valley of the Apolacon,North
B ch and East Branch of thelVyalusing, would,
in
Il i
the opinion of this meeting, exhibit as level, as
d' ct, and in every respect as eligible a - route as
an that has yet been explored in Susquehanna
county—fir more beneficial to the interests of the
eoulity generally—and we believe more so to the
int
i rests of the comny. - ;
yed, That the
esoi
members, of this meeting
pledge themselves, in case of a survey of this route,
to afford every facility and assistance in their pow
er, o the persons employed, and in case of the
ado icon of thisroute, to grant the right of Way at
as little expense and cost as individual losseS will
perinif.. .v•
„
Resolved, That after mulch invtigatinn and care
ful-mquiryove have reason to believe that no se
rious difficulty will be met on the westernmo•tt for
ty Or fifty miles of the route we propose--ettleula•
tmg the western terminus at Owego—and ; that
judging from the amount of trade on every ,ether
Railroad running to and from the coal fields of
Pennsylvania, the company will need a route that
will place them independent of the New York ,d;
Erie Railroad.
Resolved, That we are credibly informed that
from the point where the Leggct's Gap road scrikes
the,Tunkkumock, amide may be found by irliy of
Skinner's Eddy, Kinney's Pond, andthe forks of the

The Notth Branch.
The North is bccommg fearful that the conduct
of one of the peculiar friends of the "North
Branch Canal," in instigating the investigation of
Mr. Ball's conduct as State Trea surer, may jeop
ardize their favorite measure. 'Their papers are
almost unanimous in their expressions of regret
that one of their own Representatives should
have moved in this matter. And they desire the
Legislature to know that the course of that mem
ber is not sustained at home, and that it meets
with disapproval: We are happy to be able to
announce this. That any friend of the North
Branch should originate an attempted persecution '
of Mr. Ball—for the investigation was undertaken
for inquisitorial purposes—and push it on with
great vigor, after the self-sacrificing and ceaseless
efforts of Mr. Ball in the Legislature last winter to
procure an appropriation to this object, is as fla
grant an instance of ingratitudeas we ever wish to
record. But it would be still more singular and
inexcusable if the people along the canal—the , men
who are to be peculiarly benefftted by the im
provement, whilst the whole State will partake of
the impulse trade will receive Through the canal
in the North—were to be found sustaining such at
tempts. That they are not so sustaining their au
thors is creditable to themselves, and shows that
they know how to appreciate
.the conduct of Mr.
Ball; and gives some encouragement to others who
might feel disposed to lend a helping hand to 'this
great and important improvement. but who might
othervAse be deterred from it by the fear that those
whom they now assist might prove as grateful to
diem as the snake, which, when warmed into life.
sought the life of its benefactor.—Pa. laid.
TUE TRIAL OF Da. WEIISTEIL—The trial of Dr.
Webster for the murder of Dr. Parkman which has
created so much excitement throughout the coon-.
try, was commenced 'm the Judicial Court at Bos
ton last week. A jury was empaneled without
usual difficulty. The prisoner wore a composed
and somewhat melancholy appearance, but in 'oth
er respects was milli as usual.
About 11 o'clock the indictment was read, find
Mr. Clifford, the Attorney-General, commenced his
opening in a deliberate and solemn manner, confin
ing himself to a clear and auccinct statement of
facts in possession of the Government
These facts, he averred, catablished two propo
sitions:
IPtrat —That Doctor George rarkmaa was mar
dqred.
Second—ThatDr. John W. Webster committed
the deed.
Cot. Br..v - rox Susr.tocEn.—The St. Louis Repub
lican, of the Bth instant, fully confirms the intelli
gence received by telegraph a few days since, in
which it was stated that, at a public Meeting in
St, Loui4, it had been decided th.tAt l3entonism
should be made a teat in the coming election,in that
city. The resolutions adopted at this, meeting dis
approve of and denounce as treasonable the resolu
tions passed by the last General Assembly of the
State of Missouri; declare that the meeting, can
give no countenance to any man who upholds the
remedy of a dissolution of the Union and the for
mation of a Southern Confederacy ; invoke the doc
trine of Jackson's proclamation ; declare that the
mewling is constrained to believe that the despe
rate measures now recommend to exclude slavery
from territories where the climate and soil forbid
its existence proceed from a settled purpose to dis
solve the Union, add that, if this pretext were re
moved, others would be sought
_for to cover the
same unhallowed purpose ; and declare that Sena
tor Benton deserves 'the homage of every patriotic
! heart fur his vigilance, ability, and coura in ar
raigning the conspirators before.the American peo
p!e ; that this is not a time to recall from the pub
lic councils a man whose foretaste has been dem
onstrated; that the approaching city election is a
proper oxasion to apply the test of Benton or no
Benton to the candidates who shall be presented ;
! and the meeting recommends that no man-be nom
inated for office who ii not known to be in favor of
the reelection of Col. Benton to'the Senate of the
United States. Harniony and anti-test resolutions
were first offered, but these were offered. in their
stead.

LOCCIFOCO Eixertos FltAtli.—The Sussex Regis
ter says: Most of our readers who take an interest
in political movements, are aware that the new
state of lowa has presented to the existing Con
gress a case of " contested election." The vote of
Pottawatamie county was strongly in &vie. of Mr.
Miller, the wilt candidate for the w Honse of Repre
sentatives, giving him a majority large enough to
secure his election irr the District over his Loco op
ponent, Mr,Thompson. But Locofocism does not
stand at trifles. The vote of this county was sup
pressed—the poll books stolen and secreted—and
Thompson got the certificate, and took his., seat in
the House. Miller, however, was not to be put
down in this way. He presented his claims—ob
tained authority tainstitute an official investigation,
and it now appears, that the missing poll book has
been found recently in possession of Thtionipson'S
law partner. It seems impossible, that M{•. Miller's
claims to the seat can be longer resisted, under a
state of affairs so. conclusively demonstrating the
base means by which be has been defrauded of his
rights.
Mawr Foe ONCE 1--" The Times is in an error in
supposing that Mr. Wilmot is entitled to all the in
famy which will - yet fall upon the authors' of the
Wilmot Proviso.. He is not the inventor, of this
humbug, which has well nigh proved a firebrand
in the temple of the Union. On. the contrary it
was invented by more wily and cunning political
jugglers"—Pennsylvanian.
g. The Pennsylvanian is perfectly correct.—
ThomaiJeffersoddevised and drafted what is now
inaccurately denominated " the Wilmot Proviso"
in 1784--fillv-six years ago—long before tie Be
chant= and Venus had thought of pretending to
be-democrats., That their application of such
epi
thets to Mr. Jefferson is politic or in gaid taste, we
do not affirm; but it seems to come very'easy.—

.A.nromtam.rxr.—The House of Representatives
took up on Thursday, the resolution for a fmal ad
journment. The day apparently agreed upOn, was
the oth of April, though no fu al vote ar4Mken.
We have no doubt but that will be the day; lliqugh
