' Twenty-three yean ago, in the year 1834, Mr. Bright waa elected Probate Judge of Jefferson county, a position of responsibility and the duties or which he discharged ably and satisfactorily." This distinction was the more important because at that remote period, the people
in the habit of electing blacksmiths,
otters, and such like to this "posi
tion of responsibility, " occasionally select
ing a third-rate lawyer, or atmostone without practice, all of whom are said to have discharged their duties "ably and satisfactorife" ' In 1839, he was appointed U. ft Marshall for this State, by President Van Buren, which place he occupied Tor two yean, until removed by Tyler. In this position Mr Bright trat gave public evidence of those Doe business qualifications and energy of character which have since distinguished him." John L. Robinson has given evidence of " fine business qualifications " in the same position, having caught and stripped one negro in four yean. In 1841 he was elected State Senator from Jefferson county over a whig majority of 1400t" Kot quite true in point of facts and figures, but near enough for a biography in tended to bolster a falling man. In 1841, Judge Dunn was the regular nominee of the Whigs of Jefferson, at a time that Democrats in that county despised caucuses and nominees, and preferred "independent men." Not wishing to be partizans, they induced Saad-rach Wilbur, a fishy Whig, to oppose the Whig nominee with promises of support to the last Bat a few weeks before the election, Judge Bright, just removed from the Marahalehip, thinking his chance a fair one, became the Democratic candidate for Senator against the two whiga To more effectually divide the whigs, he paid special at
tention to Wilbur, until one day Wilbur declined to be a candidate any further.
" There," said Bright, with his nsual prefix,
" that is ont time I overdone it Wilbur must be kept on the treck, or my cako is
dough 1" and accordingly the Tirionds of
Bright 'induced Wilbur to continue, and Mr. Bright was triumphantly elocted by
1089 votes against 1434, instead of over
coming 140U majority, as his biographer
would have ns believe
"In 184.1 he was unanimously nominated
as the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, with Whltcomb for Governor In this campaign Mr. Bright made a gallant contest A whig majority of 14,000 was overcome and he was elected by the largest majority on the ticket The result of this victory was the inauguration of that Democ ratio State policy which raised the State from tiankruptey and repudiation to her present prosperous condition." What influence the death of Harrison and the defection of Tyler had upon this change of party it is not necessary to state. How much the popularity of Wbitcomb, and the unpopularity of his opponent, had to do with it is unimportant, as our object b to glorify Bright, and nothing else. " Id 1844-3, Mr. Bright was elected United States Senator, receiving every Democratic vote in the Legislature, with five whiga"
E7IQÜTMB OH 8QATTZB BOVEBEIOlfTT The Cincinnati Enquirer, with more pru dence than our neighbor of the Sentinel, acknowledges the difficulty of managing tho Mormon question, by direct interfere nee of the government Mormoaism is A domestic institution, and they have a right to manage it in their own way, sebjeot only to the Constitution of the United States, which says nothing about polygamy. But Mormon -ism is a foul blot on our escutcheon an eril which should be removed, hence the Enquirer suggest! the erasivs methhod rS cutting Utah into parcels and dividing the Mormons among the people of Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, California and Oregon,

of Government to enforce those laws, as it
now must enforce the Moody rode oa Mis
souri legislature, on the people or Kansas. This is Squatter Sovereignty. Kansas attatch

Government to enforce law that not ont in
a thousand of the people of the territory had a word in enacting, by officer they cannot elect, not even constables or sheriffs or jus

revision and approval of Congresa Let the advocates of slavery some back to the long-tried and safe doctrines that obtain
ed from the foundation of the government
till 1854 and all will be easy and plain. Speaking of the plan the Enquirer says:
"When there is an expedient to get rid of a. . a . - lTl -
an evil, thus easy anu mmpie, wnicn consists in merely undoing and repealing what
a former Congresa has done; and so altering our Territorial boundaries, it would be much
better to adopt it, than to seek to exercise, by Congresa directly, powers which many be
lieve to be unauthonieu, nowever triey mignt. in this instance, approve the direction and end which is given them. It is a subject that has no nesessary connection or reference to past political issues, it concerns the fair fame and reputation of tho nation, and that mind is groveling and low, indeed, that would treat it as a partisan, for the sake of political capital." Certainly it ''has no connection or reference to past political issues," but you cannot mnnage Mormonism without abandoning the humbug by which you have introduced slavery into Kansaa

That Fupiuve tflave Lsvw is the perfection of oppression and tyranny It not only taxes the people with the expense of returning the'fugitives, but jeopardizi ng the rights and liberty of white men who refuse to obey the commands of slave-catchers. The Marshal were wrong however, rn disobeying the writ of the Stale Oeart, and in assaulting the officers, and we very much doubt whether the State of Ohio will hold them guiltless. They should have obeyed the writ, and appeared before the state court, which court could not, we think, have released the prisoners who were held under arrest on a writ from the United States Commissioners. Such is the common sense view of this subject, and such was Judge McLean's decision in the Gaines case at Cincinnati.

While duly engaged in the investigation of the matttr, the honorable Judge of the Common Pleas, whose motives 1 by no means question, by a Aaoeo corpus, took from the custody of the Marshal the body of the fugitive, which left the Commissioner without a case. It wrested from him, without any authority of law, the subject of his precedent Had any Commissioner or Federal Judge interposed, and, by the same means, had disregarded and disturbed the jurisdiction of the State Court, I should have felt not Teas concern than the eloquent counsel. A sense of duty compels me to say that the proceedings of the honorable Judge were not onty w ithont authority of law, but against law; and that the proceedings are void, and I am bound to treat them as a ntihty."

BROOKVILLE COLLEOE -ÄEV. 0- A CHASE Wo are pleased to learn that Rev. G. A. Chase has accepted the Presidency of the Brookville Colloge, and will enter upon his duties about the first of September. Speaking of his removal from Greencastle the Banner of that place saya 'Most of our readers are aware, that Mr. Chase was called here two year ago, from Eastern Indiana, to establish a Female Seminary of the highor grade. The old County Seminary was well fitted up, an 1 the school opened with sixty pupils, the number limited by tho Board of Trustees, at double tho rates of tuition ever charged here before. Every successive term, the number has increased, and now one hundred and ten are in attendance' The Boarding Department, established by th s Principal, has been filled with boarders fr r i a distance. We know that this unanimous call must be considered a flatteriug one. It comes from the Trustees of a regularly incorporated College, located in the county seat of "Old Franklin," whore Mr. Chase formerly taught for a period of six years, and where he is most intimately known. This circumstance is no mean compliment to him as an educator and a citizen, and justifies us in our favorable notice of him. But his suecos here is evident to all, and has become known abroad. All that can be dono in the present building, has been done by him and This excellent Preceptress, Miss Newman. We are assured by Mr. Clime that he has been led to entertain this call by the want of suitable buildings and the poor prospect of getting any here. He does so with deep regret, feeling that he has
failed to secure what might bo accomplished

Another of those miserable case of "lavt'-cUching, with its usually unpleasant concomitant, has been brewing In our vicinity. In orber that it may bo understood, wc begin the story at the beginning. On laat Tuesday a week, tho IT. 8. Deputy Marshall and assistants, undertook to arrest a fugitive slave named Addison, who had boon residing in tho neighborhood of Mechanicsburg, Champaign county, for some six months past. The result of their valiant efforts is given as followa by Urbana Citizen:
Quite early in the morning, the party, composed of five Ken tuck ians and the two Deputy Marshalls, made a deit: upon the cabin of a Mr. Hyde, about ono mile from the burg, where the colored man Addison resided. Makiug known the objeet of their visit, and reading thoir warrant, Mr.

has decided wo beliovo, that no liquor seller has a right to sell in quantities loss than a gallon. The Rockford Herald says: They have had a sharp spell of litigation in Soyitour trying to enforce Emerson's gullon law, but we believe the liquor dealer huvo triumphed so far. The law partner of Judge Kmerson has proponed to defend the vendors hercanoutA in all suits for violation of this decision, lor tho modest sum of $500, This is pretty hard. Tho grocers sold their votes to the Democracy in consideration of being allowed to sell bad whiskey. The Democracy couldn't have got the entire liquor interest on othor terms, and without it they wore beut. But now these poor fellows have to pay those very fellows who urged them on to strike for Willard and free whiskoy, for tho priviledgo of retailing. If wo

Addison, in the meantime, had taken refuge in the loft of the cabin through a hole barely sufficient to admit his hugo body, no boing a very large and stout negro.' Soon one of the Kentucky gentlemen mountedthe ladder with a double bnrrolled gun in his hand to ascend to tho loft. He had scarcely got bis head and shoulders above the hole, when Addison fired upon him, tho ball striking tho gun in front of the Kontuckian'sDody and glanced off which saved his life. This reception caused tho chivalrous Kontuckian to descend the ladder a good deal fastor than he went up, and finding that he waa not killed, ho
