He is Vine of those who dare be hpnestin the worst of times, and dare to tell corrupt and profligate men they - are corrupt and profligate, however they may attempt to veil themselves from the eyes of the multitude. Mr. Pearson is a worthy' co-adjutor of the band Jf patriots with whom he is now associated, and who during the present session, have nobly uni ted in a glorious opposition to the worst faction that this country ever saw ; an opposition from Uliieh we cannot but anticipate the most favor able consequences to the nation. wA".
