In noticing the affair of bar tering a public office by Mr Ewmg to Mr Dou glas, we stated that Mr Douglas was a democrat; but it appears that he is a whig. He has cer tainly got the Hon. Thomas Ewing in a most un enviable position ! Commend us to "all the de cency party." A GRAND STORY is going the rounds of the papers, (started by a Washington correspondent f the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer) to the effect that Nicholas. Emperor of Russia, (give a dog a bad name, &c.) had committed a most flagrant act of tyranny upon M. Bodisco, his invoy to the United States. The story says that the Rus sian Minister (having married an American wife) had invested his funds in American property, contrary to the laws or rules of his sovereign ; that Nichlas, in consequence, recalled him to St. Petersburg, and then banished him to &itenu, the receptacle of Russian criminals.

Krom the Union ASSURANCE. There Writ. The barefaced assumption of all the honesty and all the intellect by the univer sal whig party of our country is so supreme ly ridiculous, that men of sense in the opposition deem it unworthy of exposure. A whig, whether ultra or conservative, is looked upon by the hangers-on ot that motley party to be an angel in the flesh a kind ot incarnation of holiness, honesty, high-heeled gentility, and hospitality. He, like the Pharisee of old, is a peculiar saint; and with his gold-bowed spectacles, his ivory-headed cane, his velvet prayer-book, and his sanctimonious whine, thanks God that he is not as other men are ; and seat ed upon his lowny cushions, snores out the service on the Sabbath day, with all the imposing dignity of a man who has done a favor to the temple of the Almighty, and laid it under obligations too sifinificant to be overlooked in the great day of accounts.

An awful tragedy, took place last night, at flar nuin's Hotel. The particulars are as fol- lows : Some few days since, two young ; French gentlemen, calling themseWes Count Gouzales de Montesqui and Count Raimond de Montesqui, arrived in this city froin Chicago, and took apartments at Barnum's Hotel, represent! 115 that they were on a hunting excursion through the western country. Nothing particular was observed in their manner until last night, when, about 1 1 o'clock, as Mr Barnum, the nephew of the proprietor of the hotel, and J. J. Macorn ber, the steward of the house, were retir ing to their chamber, one of the Frenchmen came to the window on the gallery at the head of th stairs, and tapped lightly. M r Barnum pushed the curtain aside for the purpose of seeing who was on the outside, when the Frenchman fired a gun, a ball from which passed through Mr Barnum, and two buckshot lodged in the arm of Mr Macomber. The report of fire-arms alarmed the th house, and Mr Albert Jones, a coachmaker, in Third street, who roomed adjoining, rushed to the door, where he received a shot through the head and fell dead. Two gentlemen who had by this time reached the gallery, were struck with buck P. y , i.i : shot ilr n. lienuerson was wouuucu the forehead, and Mr W. H- Hubble, of Liberty, in the arm. The assassin was immediately pursued to his room, where, after a severe struggle, he was arrested. He is the younger of the two brothers. No cause has been c'io-rifl fur th commission of the horrible deed. Both the assassins were arrested, and affected to be insane. Mr Barnum is still living, but U is doubtful whether he will recover. . We learn that a few days since mese two men made a siu ilar attack upon a . m . Ill landlord at Alton, Illinois. Oct. 30. MrT. Barnum is still alive ; but his wounds are of such a serious nature that it will be impossible for him to recover. The trunks of the brothers Montesqui (the assassins were opened this evening, ami letters found on them, proving them to be Parisians ot wealth ami family and 81.500 in German gold coin, were also found 111 their trunks. The brothers arc evitienuy in sane. They both fired fatal shots. They I tht advice of counsel, and say that they will plead their own cause, and that their crimes were justified by the order of Gotl. The funeral of Mr Albert Jones, one 01 the victims, took place last evening. His head was perforated by an ounce ball and sixty-sis large shot. So intense is the excitement, the imyor ha ordered out a lara:e police to protect the jail. St. Lovis, Oct. 31.
