Twenty-sixth Congress----First sessic
Monday, December 9.
IN SENATE.
Mr. STRANGE took his seat, this morning.
On motion of Mr. ALLEN, it was unanimously
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to wait
the Pro ident ofthe United States, and to inform nim ti
d quorum of the senate had assembled, and that their
nate il ready to receive any communication of an Exec
tive character which he may make.
And Messrs. ALLEN and WRIGHT were nam
as the committee.
Mr. TAPPAN offered the following:-
Resolved, That the Secretary of WVar be directed to r
port to the senate:
1. What would be the effect upon the military servi
of the co ntry, of a regulation by which all officers of t
arny, on arriving at sixty years ef age, should be perm
ted to retire from service upon half pay.
2. What would be the probable annual charge upon t
Treasury of such a regulation.
Which, by the rule, lays over.
The senate, pursuant to a previous order, wei
into the election of officers, and ASBuRy DICKE
was unanimously reflected Secretary; STEPHI
HAIGHT Sergeant.at-Arms and Door-keeper; an
ROBERT BEALE, Assistant, on the 3d ballot.
Mr. HUBBARD noticed for introduction, at th
proper time, a bill to establish a Board of Commi
sioners to hear and determine claims against th
United States.
The senate then 'adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The CHAIRMAN called to order at 12, and state
the question pending to be on the objections
Mr. WHITE, of Ky., to the reading of certain
documents, by the Clerk, in obedience to the ca
of Mr. DUNCAN, in the course of his speech.
Mr. GRANGER took the floor in opposition t
the course which he said it seemed to be the de
termination of a majority of the house to pursue
in regard to the New.Jersey delegation-that is t
settle the matter of the contested seats before pro
ceeding to organize, by the election of' Speake
and other officers. He contended that it woul
be a dangerous precedent to pass over regular cer
tificates and to undertake to try the rights c
members to seats upon what lie characterized a
volunteer certificates of persons unknown there
and made only under the obligations of an oat
before a justice of the peace. But as the friends o
the administration preferred this course, and seem
ed to be willing to take the responsibility of i
upon themselves, he should vote lor the reading o
the papers in question, with the understanding
that the whole testimony on both sides should b
heard.
Mr. VANDERPOEL said the question was, wheth
er the papers on the Clerk's table should be rea
by the gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Duncan.) The
were papers that went to show that, according t
the ballot-boxes a majority of the popular vote wa
given for Mr. Dickerson and his associates. I
this point were well established here, either by evi
dence such as would satisfy the conscience of an
reasonable man, or by the admission of the parties
interested, or their friend, the only uncontested
member from New Jersey, (Mr. Randolph,) hi
thought the house would immediately be prepared
to act, not only upon this question of order, bu
upon the point which set of gentlemen should bi
regarded as the legal and genuine members of this
house. The position ho (Mr. V.) took when he
submitted his first remarks on Tuesday last, was
that it the house could be convinced that Mr. Dic
kerson and his associates had actually received the
majority of the popular vote as canvassed by the
boards of canvassers who presided over the boxes,
and whose duty it was to receive and canvass the
votes, and pass upon the qualifications of the vo
ter, it would be its duty at once to do what th.
governor had done; give them as the lawyers
would say, their certificate nuncpro tune, and let
them take their seats. In order to ascertain these
qwastious of fact .early and distinctly, he vw'ould
propound to the gentleman from New Jersey, be.
fore him, (Mr. Randolph) a few questions. The
first was whether, according to the ballot boxes,
and the canvass made by the canvassing officers
who received the votes, Mr. Dickerson and his as.
sociates did not receive a majority of the popular
votes?
Mr. RANDOLPH answered yes; that, including
the voters who were disqualified, and had no right
1o vote, they did.
The next question he would ask the gentleman
was, whether if the towns of Milleille and South
Amboy were included, Messrs. Dickerson snd his
associates would have a majority of the popular
vote?
Mr. RANDOLPH responded that they would; that
he would not deny that the towns of Millville and
South Amboy were excluded by the governor and
privy council in casting up the votes.
Mr. VAnDERPOEL said he would ask another


question for information from the gentleman.-
After the board of canvassers, the primary tribunal,
had canvassed the votes and returned their certifi-
cate of the votes to the county clerks, could the
county clerks, or the governor and privy council,
according to the laws of New Jersey, go into the
ballot boxes and reject votes, on the ground that
the votes of aliens or other disqualified persons had
entered the boxesl
Mr. RANDOLPH was about to rise, when
Mr. Wiss here arose and objected to this course
of catechism as being out of order, and was pro-
ceeding to show wherein, when
Mr. VANDEKPOEL said he would waive the ques-
-tion and answer it himself. He had heard much
about leaping over the law," but he was induc-
ed to ask this question in order tVa show that these
gentlemen, who were now such sticklers for the
laws of New Jersey, were themselves sanctioning
a most palpable violation of law; but as gentle-
men objected to the question, it was needless to
press it, and more especially, as he, in common
with every other gentleman on the floor, who
could read the English language, could answer it.
He had merely questioned the gentleman, in or-
der to have the irresistible conclusion of that gen-
tleman's mind superadded to the clear interpreta-
tion of a statute ol'f his own state. Let gentlemen
read the law of New Jersey, and they will look in
vain there bfor any authority on the part of the
mere returning officers, the clerks of counties, or
the Governor and Privy Council, to enter the bal.
lot boxes, and reject votes, on the ground that
voters were disqualified. They were mere return-
ing officers, and could not arrest votes on their
way to this house, the only appellate court, after
the primary court, the board of canvassers, the
keepers of the ballot boxes, had passed upon their

Mr. WisE suggested that all the propositions
'ore the house should be withdrawn, and that

Carolina to lay his (Mr. W.'s) resolution on the
table. He begged the gentleman from Vermont
not to delay it by further remarks.
The CHAIR was understood to say, that even
when the house was organized, and under the full
influence of its rules, gentlemen were permitted
to make speeches, which had no sort of bearing
on the immediate question. This being the case,
the Chair did not feel himself at liberty to pro-
nounce the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Slade)
out of order. The gentleman from Vermont is in


order.
Mr. SLADE insisted that he was fairly entitled
to the floor, but said that, as an evidence of his
desire to bring this matter to a close, he would
yield it for the purpose of allowing one more effort
to be made.
Mr. RivEs rose, and attempted to address the
Chair, to make some suggestions as to the mode
of proceeding, when-
Mr. WISE, and several other gentlemen, called
him to order. Great noise and confusion prevail.
ed at the time, and repeated cries of go on, go on,
were also heard.
Mr. RivEs again attempted to obtain the floor.
Mr. WIbE again interrupted him with calls to
order.
A scene of great confusion ensued, in the course
of which,
The CHAIR again explained the character of the
expedient before suggested by him. He considered
it had received a very general assent, but he did
not consider himself justified in regarding that as
the act of the meeting without a vote taken on it;

The motion could not be received. Mr. J. the
offered a different Iroposition.
Mr. PETRIKIN had now reduced his question
order to writing, aid it was read.
The CHAIR replied that it had entertained r
new questions whibe a former question was peri
ing. The question alluded to by the gentleman
could not be entertained till a preliminary questic
was-settled, viz. "vho should vote?"
Mr. PETRIKIN. I deny it. There has been n
preliminary question moved by any body-it ha
been made by the clair itself-and that questic
is not and cannot be in order, till somebody hi
moved it and brought it before the Chair. Th
Chair cannot overrule questions and motions (
its own. I appeal froms such a decision.
The CHAIR. If the question should now be pu
on the motion of the gentleman from South Care
lina, (Mr. Rhett,) the question immediately would
arise, who are to vote upon it? That must firs
be settled.
Mr. RHETT said he thought they had better tak
up the questions presented to the house one b'
one. The Chair had decided that the question
was, of necessity, raised, who shall vote?" al
though no gentleman had made a motion to tha
effect. From that decision, the gentleman fron
Pennsylvania, (Mr. Petrikin,) had appealed. O0
that appeal Mr. R. moved the previous question.
Mr. BRIGaS rose to order, and was proceeding
when
Mr. CRAIG called him to order. [Several voice
called Mr. CRAIG to order.]
Mr. BRIGGS said the appeal of the gentleman
rom Pennsylvania was not in order, because an-
)ther question had since intervened. The ques.
ion now pending was ox the resolution of the
gentleman from Norjth Cirolina, (Mr. McKAY.)
The CHAIR. The.Ch;ir is of opinion that the
notion of the gentleman from North Carolina
annot be entertained.
Mr. PETRIKIN. From that decision I appeal.
[Loud cries of" order," "order," ",order."]
Mr. JoHNsoN called for the reading of his resolu-

Mr. JOHNSON, I have not been sworn, and I
innot go through thesolemn farce of voting out

The CHAIR. The Chair will here state that in
is judgment he is not competent to put such a
question as tha of the gentleman from North Car-
lina; neither hus this meeting any right to entertain
. The effect f the'resolution is, that New Jer
ey shall not )e represented in this house; the
'hair cannot pUt such a motion.
[Much sensaion in the house.]
Mr. W. C. J)HNSON then offered his resolution
z a distinct proposition.
Mr. FRANCIS "HOMAS rose to ask the gentleman
om North Carlinia (Mr. McKay), to withdraw

e made to settle! this question. He believed that
large majorityof the members of the house hau
lade up their ninds as to how they would vote

ume. Then Ile it be the effort of every gentle-
nan to bring th< house to action. What was the

in ble. The question, he said, to decide the fate
is that resolution, could as well be taken on the mn
ie tion to lay it on the table as in any other way.
of Mr. JOHNSON of Maryland then said he refus
to withdraw his motion; whereupon,
it Mr. WIsE moved the previous question on it.
3- Mr. RHETT then asked if that resolution of 1M
d Johnsonlwas before the house.
At The CHAIR answered, that no question could
before the house, until it should decide wt
e should vote as members from the State of New
y Jersey. [Laughter.]
n Mr. RHETT stated the question as he hindersto<
I it. It first arose on his (Mr. R's) motion to ]a
t the resolution of the gentleman from Virgin
n (Mr. Wise) on the table; next on the resolution
n of the gentleman from Maryland, as a substitute
and then came the decision of the Chair, that r
question could be put until the house decides whi
shall vote as members from New Jersey. Now i
s moved to lay the question raised by the Chair o
the table.
S Mr. WISE informed the gentleman from Sout
SCarolina (Mr. Rhett) that no motion could I
Sput on that question until the preliminary one (
a who was entitled to vote should be first decide(
Mr. SLADE desired to know the question tha
was before the house.
S The CHAIR said that the main question was fc
the meeting to determine who was entitled to vot
from the State of New Jeisey. The house hay
ing determined, by reversing the decision of th
Chair, that the members, holding the certificate
of the Governor of New Jersey, should not vote
it was now necessary that the meeting should say
who was entitled to vote, inasmuch as they could
not deprive a sovereign state of its representation
on this floor.
Mr. SLADE and Mr. W. C. JOHNSON addressed
the house, the former at some length, when
Mr. GRAHAM again raised the point of order
whether the motion to lay on the table could bi
thus debated?
The CHAIR said there was before the house
resolution of the gentleman from Virgiria, and
motion of the gentleman from South Carolina
(Mr. Rhett) to lay that resolution on the table
In the attempt to settle that question, the question
occurred, Who should vote from the state of'New
Jersey? The Chair had decided that gentlemen
possessed of' the regular, constitutional credentials
'rom the Governor of New Jersey, should vote.-
From that decision an appeal had been taken, amn
the decision of the Chair had been reversed. But
as yet, no decision had been made by the house am
to who should vote from the state of New Jersey,
upon the motion of the gentleman from Souti
Carolina.
At this time, in order to avoid any further ques
tion upon the subject, nd bfor the purpose o0 en-
deavoring to get over this difficulty, the Chairman,
if it should meet the views of the meeting, would,
on putting the question on the motion to lay on
the table, adopt the principle upon which several
votes had already been taken-that was to say,
that the votes should be taken by tellers; that the
tellers should report the number of votes on each
side, and that it any of the members from New
Jersey, whose seats were contested, should pass,
the fact should be immediately reported to the
meeting, and that the meeting should decide wheth.
er they should be counted or not. The Chairman
proposed this as a substitute for the decision which
he had already made, (to wit, that the question
must first be determined, who shall vote from the
state of New Jersey,) and as an expedient which
had been already tried. If such was the voice of
the meeting, he would conform to it.
[Very general cries of "Agreed-agreed."]
The reading of the resolution of Mr. WISE hav-
ing been called for, it was read; and there were
loud cries for the question.
Mr. SLADE claimed his right to the floor.
The CHAIR said that the gentleman from Ver-
mont, (Mr. Slade,) was speaking when the gen-
tl-man trom North Carolina, (Mr. Graham) rose
to a point of order. Then the question was stat
ed, and the proposition made by the Chairman,
which, he had hoped, would bring all this debate
to an end.
Mr. SLADE inquired whether, at the time he was
speaking, the question before the house was not
on the motion to lay on the table?
The CHAIR said no; it was on the question who
should vote from the state of New Jersey.
Mr. WISE begged to correct the Chair. A mo-
tion had been made by the gentleman from South
Carolina (Mr. Rhett) to lay the resolution of the
gentleman from Maryland on the table; and the
gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Slade) was speak-
ing out of order, because he was speaking to a
question of laying a resolution on the table-that
not being debateable. Now, however, the new
position taken by the Chair had relieved the house
from the necessity of voting, and brought them to
the direct motion of the gentleman from South


t if tween the tellers, and the vote having been repo
r as ted as noes 114-
ect The tellers stated that the vote of one membe
on- whose seat was disputed had been given-Mr.Naj
wn lor, of Pennsylvania.
or- Time CHAIR having voted in the negative, their
was a tie.
kl] Mr. WISE said that, as in that event the motio
ice to lay on the table was rejected, he would call ft
the previous question on the resolution.
or- Mr. SMITH of Maine, inquired of the Chair wh(
he there it was not understood that if any membe
whose seat was disputed should pass between th
Jr. tellers, the question of his right to vote should
to- be determined by the house? A gentleman fror
ta. Pennsylvania (Mr. Naylor) had voted whilst ar
of other gentleman was here to contest his seat-
to- there being double returns.
Mr. WISE moved that Mr. Naylor has a right t
ed vote, and demanded the previous question thereon
Mr. NAYLOR (holding up his credentials) ros
and said, I challenFe the right of'this house to pas
[r. upon my right here, and I ask any member to pro
duce the credentials by means of which he claim
be to pass upon it. You (turning to Mr. Smith) im
ho peach my right-I impeach yours-I challenge
w.v- your right to be here.
[Loud cries of ", Good-good-bravo".]
)d Mr. SMITH: Instead of replying to him, I tun
my him over to his colleague (Mr. Ingersoll), wh(
ia has credentials,.s good as himself.
)n Mr. NAYLOR. I am here by the voice of the
e; People, and under the authority of the law.
o10 [Cries from all parts of the Hall "And I-anc
10to I."]
ie Mr. SMITH. So is another gentleman from youm
)n district.
Mr. NAYLOR. I deny it-I deny it.
h [The conthfusion anddisorder which here perva-
de ded the house (including the galleries) can scarce-
)f ly be conceived by those not present at the time.
d. Cries of "Order-Silence--take your seats,"
it &c.]
Mr. UNDERWOOD inquired what was the ques-
)r tionl
e The CHAIR said the question was on seconding
7. the call of the previous question on Mr. Wise's
e resolution.
s Mr. REYNOLDS (remarking that the members
), might as well go home, since nothing could be
y done here) moved an adjournment; which motion
d was decided to be out of order pending the call
a lor the previous question.
[Cries of"No, no-Goo,l good-Candlelight,"]
d Mr. ALFORD said, now was the time for gentle-
men to act; no backing out.
, The CHAIR again stating the question to be on
e seconding the demand for the previous question.
Mr. BLACK moved an adjournment; which mo-
" tion the Chair again decided to be out of order.
i The call for the previous question was secon-
, ded; and the main question was ordered.
[Here voices demanded in all quarters "What
n is the question?"]
v The CHAIR said that the question was on the
i resolution of the gentleman li'om Virginia (Mr.
s Wise.)
- Mr. BYNUM submitted to the Chair that the
d question was on the right of the gentleman from
, Pennsylvania (Mr. Naylor) to vote.
8 The CHAIR said no such question had been for-
, mally made.
S Mr. BRIGGS said a motion had been made that
Mr. Naylor had a right to vote.
Mr. WISE. I moved that Mr. Naylor has a right
- to vote, aud I called for the previous question.
S The CHAIR said the question then was upon the
Sight of Mr. Naylor to vote. That gentleman,
i however, had protested against the right of the
1 house, as at present situated, to pass upon his
right, and the Chair thought he was correct.
Mr. BRIGG.s adverted to the terms of his reso.
I lution, (above given.) The gentleman from Penn-
sylvania (Mr. Naylor) had voted, and the gentle
man from Maine (Mr. Smith) had disputed his
right. The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wise)
Shad moved that the gentleman from Pennsylvania
i should be counted. Upon that the previous ques-
tion had been seconded, and the main question or-
dered to be put.
The CHAIR. I understand the main question to
be on the resolution of the gentleman'from Vir.
ginia.
[Cries of "No! no!"]
The CHAIR. 1 did not intend my proposition
which I suggested as an expedient (and which has
since been submitted in the form of a resolution
by my colleague, Mr. Briggs,) to apply to any
others than the gentlemen trom New-Jersey. The
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Naylor) has
voted several times, and his right to vote has ne-
ver been questioned. And the Chair does not con-
sider the house competent to decide upon that
question at this time.
Mr. BRIeGS said that the resolution he had of-
fered, and which had been adopted by the house,
was general in its terms.
The reading of the resolution was called for;
and it having been read, in reply to an interroga-
tory,
Mr. DROMGOOLE (one of the tellers) said that he
and the gentleman associated with him had slated
the number of votes to the Chair, and, at the same
time, had stated that one gentleman whose seat
was contested had passed.
Mr. WISE. Did you name him?
Mr. DROMGOOLE. I did, distinctly.
The CHAIR said he had not so understood it.
Mr. SMITH said he had heard the sellers so state.
Mr. DROMGOOLE said the statement had been


A Ale A*W


heard by gentlemen of all parties.
Mr. WISE said that the only contested seats
which were in the eye of any, when the resolution
ot the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. BRIGGs)
was adopted, were the seats of the members from
New Jersey. In proof ot this, he appealed to the
declaration of the gentleman from North Carolina,
(Mr. McKay.)
The CHAIR said he decided the question before
the house to be on the resolution ot the gentleman
from Virginia.
Mr. TURNEY appealed from the decision.
Mr. BLACK inquired of the Chair whether it was
now in order to move an adjournment.
The CHAIR replied that it was.
Mr. BLACK moved an adjournment.
Tellers were called for; and Messrs. TURNEY and
GRAVES were appointed, (Mr. PETRIKIN having de-
clined.)
And those voting in the affirmative having pas-
sed between the tellers, there appeared ayes 116.
The tellers reported that three gentlemen claim-
ing disputed seats, (viz. Messrs. KELLY, RYALL,
and COOPER,) had passed between them.
And those voting in the negative having passed
between the tellers, there appeared nays 113.
And the tellers reported that three gentlemen
claiming disputed seats, (whose names were not
beard by the Reporter,) had also passed between
them on the negative count.
Some discussion was about to arise, but the
Chair having stated that the result would not be
changed, whether the contested seats were count-
ed or not, inasmuch as, in either event, there
would still be a majority voting affirmatively-
The house adjourned.

THE MANOR DIFFICULTIES.
The Manor difficulties may be regarded as at
an end-if, indeed, they have at any moment
really existed in any formidable aspect. Infor-
mation has been received from the Sheriff, that
he is successfully serving his process without
resistance. We understand that hlie had reached
r- Rensselaerville, the extreme Manor-town last
r, evening; and that his only annoyance was in
Y. finding quarters among the inhabitants for him-
self and company. 'No man, from the start, has
re resisted the service of process; and notwith.-
In standing the formidable array of the military
Dr on the ground, the midnight orders here, the
calling out of 500 troops from Montgomery
SandaFulton, and some 2000 in the city of New-
e York under orders,-not a man among the ten.
d antry has as yet, so far as we can learn, ap.
n peared with arms in his hands!
S The detachment from Montgomery and Ful-
ton counties, under General Averill, numbering
o some 500 men, arrived in this city on Wednes-
Sday evening by rail-road; and after being on
e duty in the snow and mud yesterday, until 3
SP. M., were discharged in the Capitol Park,
s and returned home-there being no occasion
- for their services.
e In the course of these warlike movements,
nearly all the intelligence of a sanguinary or
a alarming character, has come to us via .New
D York. The Comn. Adv. of Wednesday, for
e instance, has the following:
POSTSCRIPT.-We learn, verbally, by a gentle-
Sman who came down in the boat, that during Mon-
day night a detachment of the Burgesses' corps,
r which had taken shelter from the pelting ot the
storm in a barn, were driven out by the insurgents,
snd the barn destroyed. The forces were so une-
qual, that the sheriff directed the soldiers not to
Fire upon the assailants."
The Eve. Star says:
The Anti.Rent Patriots, it is understood, had
broken up the bridges in the mountain defiles, and
planted pieces of state artillery, which they had
seized at Guilderland. They had also provided
powder from Coxsackie."
The troops detailed for service from New-
York, Brooklyn, and Westchester county, con-
tinued to parade from day to day in the Park,
in expectation of marching orders from headd
quarters," which had not come on Wednesday
morning.
The truth is, the whole matter has been un-
necessarily exaggerated-and the course pur-
sued by the public authorities, if it has the war
rant of law, is at least "novel," and has beer
needlessly expensive and vexatious, particu
larly to the people of Montgomery.
But it seems the end is not yet. The Gov-
ernor recommends-nay appeals-to the ten-
ants to apply for redress to the legislature: and
he promises them every facility which the
Executive department can afford in bringing
their complaints before the legislature." The
Eve. J. covers his Excellency with the agis of
its approval, and declares this to be "the right
and wise course." Possibly it may be; but we
trust we shall not be accused of incendiar-
ism" if we inquire what the legislature can do ?
Can it interfere with these contracts ? Can it
redress" the "complaints" of the tenants ?-
And if so, how ? Will his Excellency, or the
Eve. J. condescend to inform us ?
We regret to learn that Michael E. Israel, esq.
cashier of the Western Bank, has died of the
wounds inflicted by his own hand.-Phil. N. Gaz.









REMARKS OF MR. VANDERPOEL,
OF NEW-YORK,
Js the House of Representatives, December 6, 1839,
in reply to Messrs. Granger and Hoffman, on tht
fuestion. qf the contested seats oJ thde New Jersey
delegation:
Mr. VANDERPOEL said, he had tried to get
the floor immediately atier his colleague (Mr
Granger) had closed, but other gentlemen of more
agility than he possessed, anticipated him. He
did not know why his two colleagues (Messrs.
Granger and Hoffmnan) had made him so promi-
Dent a subject in the discourses with which they
had just edified us. He had, to be sure, had thie
temerity to appeal from the decision, and as hle
conceived it, the most extraordinary decision 01
the Chair, and he also had the further temerity tc
Say, that it was founded in usurpation; and this
had furnished his colleague (Mr. Hoffman) an oc
casion for treating us with one of those sweet1
pretty, and touching eulogisms upon the Chair-
man, for which his friend and colleague was s(
eminently qualified. He (Mr. V.) would, upon
the present occasion, neither assent to, or dissen
from, this most encomiastic picture, drawn in thi
presence and hearing of the Chairman himself
nor would he here stop to inquire whether thi
gentleman had or had not violated the laws of gooa
taste in lavishing such high. wrought praise in thi
presence and hearing of thile subject oft it; but hE
would at once reiterate what he had before said
that the Chairman, under pretence of deciding
question of order, had decided a most momentous
question of right; and he would not be deterred
by any false or mistaken delicacy-any affected re
verence for gray hairs-from characterizing th
act as he thought it deserved. He bad not ita
peached-he did not intend to impeach-the me
tivs of the Chairman; but lie would again pro
3nounce the decision, in effect, a most decided usur
pation. It was so, because he had assumed juries
diction that did not belong to him, and whicn th
mover of the resolution that had given the Chair
man that place, never supposed to belong to hir
when he moved that he should preside over our de
liberations. It was so, because the simple ipt
dixit of the Chair, if not reversed, would give fiv
members a seat upon this floor whose right t
seats had formed the subject of conflict here fc
the last five days. We were not dealing with trifles
"When the rights of the people of a sovereign stat
were involved, and attempted to be trodden under
foot, he would speak of it boldly and freely as h
thought it deserved. If the Chair had transcends
his jurisdiction, and thus prostrated the express
will of a majority of the people of a sovereig
state, he would not ransack his lexicon tor very
mild terms in order to give a mitigated aspect 1
an act pregnant with such serious and mischievous
consequences.
He would now pay his passing respects to thi
colleague (Mr. Granger) who had done him th
honor of making him the subject of so great
portion of bis remarks. For all the purposes of th
question immediately under discussion, his co
league might as well have read a chapter froi
Don Quixote; for that would have been quite
relevant to the point under debate as were moi
of his remarks. His colleague was disposed 1
make merry with what he evidently deemed h
(Mr. V's) pretended love for the people; with hi
professed respect fbr the sovereignty and majesty
ot the people. Mr. V. said, humble as he was, li
and his doings had been most conspicuously, if nc
unkindly, forced into this debate, and he could
therefore, averse as he generally was to such
course, speak of himself without exposing himse
to the imputation of egotism. He would, then
fore, by way of repelling the inference that h
advocacy of popular rights was insincere, tell Ut
house that the kindness he had so repeatedly r
ceived at the hands of the people, gave him abun
4ant cause to love them. Five times had the
chosen him to honorable and responsible station!
and never yet had they rejected him. lie could

however, imagine a case, where frequent disap
pointment, frequent frustration of fond hopes an
bright visions, might possibly inspire any thing bi
affection for popular rights. It a gentleman
high ambition, and with aspirations at least a
lofty as his legitimate pretensions, should happe
to be twice presented to the people of his state t'
the highest trust and honor in their gift, and the
should reject him, as they would the unclean thing
if he should hazard another struggle for the second
office in this great confederacy of free states, an
a similar fite should attend his third ambitious
effort, he would not wonder if, with such a ona
affection for the people and regard for popult
rights should become subjects of derision and me
rimnent. This would accord with the dictates c
poor, frail, unforgiving human nature. The poc
understood this sentiment, and expresses it moe
pithily when he asks,
What rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law 1"
He surely did not consider the two first word
of the couplet as at all applicable to his colleague
Those who knew their friendly personal relation,
would never draw such an inference. But hi
colleague had also referred to the case fromn New
York, which occurred some twenty-six years ago
(he meant the case of Peter Allen,) and had ur
dertaken to give us not only a minute account c
.hat case, but volunteered to us the information
that the year next succeeding the ejection of Mi
Allen from the New York legislature, he was ele(
ted by a decided majority of the county of Onu
rio, and that my colleague, then acting with th
Democratic party, had aided in roducn
except as matter of history, for when it occurred
he had scarcely entered his teens, and he therefbr


spoke with much deference to the recollection o
his venerable colleague who had told us that h
was one of the adult and efficient actors of th
scenes of that early day. He was sarry, situate
as his Golleague was, that he had furnished hin
with an occasion to denominate him so "venera
ble" in the presence, and hearing of that gallery
(pointing to the ladies' gallery,) for whose ape
cial edification most of the observations of th
gentleman were so evidently designed. He wouli
tell the gentleman and the house, that in that case
there was no question arising upon the returns
Mr. Fellows came in there by petition, anc
the house decided that they would not entertain
the petition till the Speaker was chosen, and thE
house was organized. Besides, sir, in New Yorl
the members are sworn by the Chancellor, or Sec
retary of State, beftbre the Speaker is chosen.-
Mr. Allen had the certificate-he was sworn as
member before the house could act upon the case
and, as such, voted for the council of appointment
before he was ejected. But does the gentleman
recollect how loudly and how unsparingly tha
act of the House of Assembly was denounced bj
the party with which he is now associated? Sir
look at the leading New York federal journals oi
that day, and you will see that they were actually.
in token of their abhorrence of this deed, date
from the reign of Peter Allen. Thus, for example:
,, THz THIRD, FOURTH, OR FIFTH MOiTH OF THi
REIoGN OF PITER ALLEN." It had been stated by
the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Wise,) that
Mr. Van Buren was then Attorney General ol
New York, and had given an official opinion in fa
vor of this procedure.
[Mr. Wisi here explained, and said that Mr.
V. had misunderstood him; that he had said that
Mr. Van Buren had approved of it; but he did not
may that he had done so in his official capacity.]
If that case was sanctioned by one party, it was
condemned by the other party, with which his
colleague now acted. The argument resulting
from this ease was, therefore, neutralized; and he
would therefore dismiss it, with the old maxim,
that "two wrongs could not make one right."
MHe had said that the Chairman had exceeded
his power in deciding that the five gentlemen from
WNw Jersev who had the Governor's certificate had

ot er extent than we could wish, with the

Me the obstructions which have been thrown in

d, It will be seen that the difficulties thicken
Pd from day to day, and that the prospect of an

of are even more unfavorable than before. Nor
Scan the fact be disguised that to this state of
or things, the partisan and sinuous course of the
y Chairman, backed by a factious federal minori-
'; ty, has entirely contributed. No fair minded
d man, we venture to say, can look over the pro-
idy
d ceedings without being led irresistibly to this
e, conclusion. If the course of Mr. A. in assum-
ar ing upon himself on Monday the prerogative
r. of the house, in regard to the New-Jersey
e members, was a gross usurpation of power,
st what may be said of his attempt on Tuesday
to say what questions the House should or
should not entertain ? And what of his at-

e. floor, to raise questions of his own to super-

3, decisive vote, determined on Monday on hear-
r. ing all the documents in the possession of the
-' Clerk, touching the case of the New Jersey
e contested seats. This undoubtedly may be
e-. regarded as one point gained by the fricnde of
Sthe administration, and the democratic claim-
Sants-and in connexion with the confession of
re
:I Mr. Randolph, who has taken the lead in de-
e fence of his federal colleagues, to the fact that

i THE MANOR DIFFICULTIES.
e The time has not yet come to give to the
k
world the History of the "Heilderberg War;"
nor to expose the imbecility on the one hand
a and the political demagoguism on the other,
which have involved the good people of this
t
County in scenes that may have been, and ought
t to have been, avoided. In good time, the ex-
Sposition shall be forthcoming. Our present
purpose is to reply, in the briefest terms, (our
space and time will allow no other,) to the im-
d pudent falsehood of the Eve. J. of yesterday,
That we "deny the right of the Rensselaer-
wick tenants to bring their complaints before
t the legislature!"
f We alluded yesterday to the appeal of the
Governor, seconded by the Eve. J., to the ten-
ants to apply for redress to the legislature, and
Sto the promise of his excellency that the Exe-
t cutive department would afford every facility
in its power "to bring their complaints before
Sthe legislature." We inquired, with all due
Respect, what the legislature could do-whe-
ther it could interfere with these contracts--
and in what form it could "redress" the
"complaints" of the tenants? And we inquir-
ed if the Governor or the Eve. J. would con-


pI ent to vote, had no interest m the questioaup-
on which the vote was to be taken. Their inter-j
est was immediate and most palpable. What
was the motion upon which they were to vote? -
It was to lay upon the table a resolution that they
should be called and recognized as members of this
hoiins; upon this question it was that the Chair
had decided that thesp gentlemen could vote. The
momrent they voted in pursuance of the decision,
wiat were they? They were to all intents and
purposes members of the house. And what bene-
fits did they derive from that character? They
were clearly entitled to their mileage and per diem,
amounting to some two or three hundred dollars
each. They had a right to go to the Speaker, the
moment hlie was chosen, and ask his warrant for
dieir pay, and he would not and could not refuse
to grant it to them. This they could not do, if
ordered to stand back, as others proposed they
shouldbe. Here there was a direct pecuniary in-
terest in the question; and was there a mind here,
unclouded by prejudice, that did not see it?
But this was not all. They would derive from
the decision of the Chair other great privileges
and immunities. That clause ot the constitution
which provides "that representatives in congress
shall, during their attendance at the session of
their respective houses, and in going to or return-
ing from the same, be privileged from arrest,"
surely conferred a high privilege upon the mem.
bers of this house. If the Governor's members
(he used this designation in contradistinction to
those chosen by the people) should be permitted
to vote, and thus be recognised as members, was
it not most clear that it would be competent for
them to avail themselves of this clause of the con-
stitution? So long as they were not recognized by
this house, but kept in suspense, their creditors,
who might see fit to arrest them, could reply that
they were not members of this house, and thus
defeat the enjoyment of this high privilege. But
this was not all. Not only did the character of
member of this house confer high privileges, but
it also created disabilities. Another clause of the
constitution provided that "no representative
shall, during the time for which he was elected,
be appointed to any civil office under the authority
of the United States, which shall have been cre-
ated, or the emoluments whereof shall have been
increased during such time." The decision of the
Chair would determine whether this disability was,
or was not, created; and here was another feature
of interest. View it in whatever aspect you please,
and you perceive, in the breast of the Governor's
members, a direct interest in the event of this
question-an interest coming not only within the
spirit, but the letter, of the rule. He could have
hoped that delicacy would have been a motive
strong enough to have prevented these gentlemen
from voting. The force of this sentiment, how-
ever, depended so much upon the anxieties, the
temperament, the passions, and prejudices of men,
that it was not always safe to calculate upon its
restraining efficacy. He had not the most satis-
factory pledge that it would be a very potent sen-
timent in this case.

ALBANY ARGUS.
SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14.


THE CURRENCY-NOTES OF THE FREE
BANKS.
The Troy Morning Mail publishes a memo-
rial to the legislature, which prays that a law
may be passed, requiring in future that the free
banks shall "have their subscriptions to stock
paid in money, and requiring a deposit with
the Comptroller of the stock of this state, to
entitle said banks to notes for circulation; and
that in future, for the state to receive the notes
of all the free banks for tolls collected on our
canals, and for debts due the state, on the same
conditions as they receive the notes of other
banks."
A writer in the Mail, who signs himself
"A Merchant," says the petition has been
signed by some five or six hundred, and adds:
"When it Is recollected that by the law authorizing
free Ihnking, the Comptroller is required to receive state
stocks aid mortgages to his satisiaction, previous to de-
livering to any association any bills for circula ion, and
to retain such stock and mortgages as security to the bill-
holder against any loss, the propriety of receiving the
bills of the free banks in payment of all delits t-ue the
s ate will be obvious The state having created the cur-
rency, and given the people to understand that the Cominp-
troller held abundant security to protect them from any
loss, and that currency beingljat this time somewhat de-
preciated, it would seem but reasonable that the tate
should receive it in payment of its >.ues, and the legisla-
ture might by law require the fre-e banks, upon rensoai-
ble notice from the Comptroller, to redeemrn thise notes in
Albany. At any rate, as the bills of the safety fund
hanius are received by the state for its ( ues, it will be only
pl cing the bills of the free banks upon a footing of equa-
lity, if they are also so received."
This appears to be reasonable and just. But
no legislation is required to enable the state
officers to receive the bills of the free banks
for tolls and all state dues. They are fully
authorized by the existing laws to make all the
necessary arrangements for the reception of
the free bank notes; and we understand that
they are received at the Treasury for all dues
except tolls. The state has not only created
This currency and taken security into its own
Hands for the redemption of it, but in order to
Ensure it the most extensive circulation, the
SGovernor gave it the following endorsement in
his message to the legislature: "1. safer cur-
rency than this is unknown in the commercial
world."
Why should not the state receive for its
dues the money which it authorizes to be put
in circulation, and which is endorsed by the
Comptroller and Governor ? Individuals are
in effect forced to receive this money, or cease
to do business; and why should the state offi-
cers exact a "better currency" than they deal
out to the people? Is not this in truth requi-
ring one currency for the office-holders, and
compelling the people to do their business with
a different currency? Whatever may be the
upshot in relation to some of them, it is equi-
table that the state should share with the peo-
ple the hazard, if any, of receiving their notes.
The editor of the Mail dissents from some
of the views of his correspondent, and talks
about making the notes of the free banks "a
tender in payment of debts due the state."-
They would be no otherwise a tender than
safety fund bills, which are received for tolls,
cc., now are. The proposition is merely to
place upon the same tooting the notes of all
specie paying banks of this state, as has been
the practice from the time the canals were com-
pleted, if not before.
The state officers have full authority to
grant relief, so far as the reception of the notes
of the free banks is concerned ; arid on this
part of the subject, relief probably might be
obtained by a humble petition to the Minister
of Public Instruction," and his official associ-
ates.
A MIXED CURRENCY.
The paper of a great number of the country banks
of this state is depreciated from 3 to 5 per cent.-
The notes of the country banks of the eastern
states, which are redeemed in Boston, are 2 or 3
per cent. better than the notes of a great number
of the banks of our own state. This ought not to
be so, and it behoves those who are exercising
the power of "coining money and regulating the
value thereof," to improve the standard of the pa-
per currency. We have heard much in regard to
the affection of the people for the bills of our own
banks; but if eastern notes continue 2 per cent.
better than some of our own, there is reason to ap.
prehend that the affections of the people will be
turned in favor of the better currency."
In all ordinary business transactions, country
money is received and paid out without exacting
discount: and it is because the banks will not


tike the notes of each other, that the people are
required to pay a ruinous discount. The people
seem to place muoh more confidence in the banks,
than these institutions extend to each other. If
you have ten dollars to pay to a merchant or me-
chanic, he takes your country money; but if you
offer the same note to a bank, you are turned over
to a broker to be shaved out of from 2 to 5 per
cent. Now it appears to me, that all the partners
engaged in the manufacture of a currency which
the people are forced to take, ought to receive
each other's paper, as they all share in the profits
of the system; or else each manufacturer ought
to be required to furnish a prime article, and keep
all the issues at par in New-York. There is a
currency which never misses fire, and we ought
to have so much of it as is needed to steady the

But he could well Imagine cases which might
awaken in the heart of poor, frail, mortal man,
any thing but love for the people. Ift a man of
lofty ambition, with aspirations ai least equal to
his legitimate pretensions, should offer himself
twice for the highest office in the gift ot the peo-
pie of his native state,-if lie should afterwards
be presented to this great confederacy of states l
for the second office in their gift, and always,
always rejected, as the unclean thing," he could
easily imagine, that such unwelcome responses
from the people, might engender in the indi- i
vidual, any thing but "love lbfor the people." He
said, that the poet evinced his knowledge of poor,
frail, unforgiving human nature, when he asked,
"What rogue e'er felt the baiter draw
With good pinionn of tine law V"
As to the case of Peter Allen, Mr. V. prefaced i
his remarks upon it with a hit, which Mr. Six i
feet high and well proportioned," felt most sensi-
bly. He said that he had "no recollection of a
that case,-that he only knew it as a matter of c
history;-but he cherished much deference bfor the e
recollection of his venerable colleague, (Mr. G.) a
who had told us that he was an adult and efficient *

vas a most triumphant and withering reply, and a

ble, and on which he has entered, (we judge
from the topics,) con more. We shall take
in early opportunity to copy the second chap-
ter of this little work, in which the question
Who are the People? is fitly answered. Mean-
while we conceive this to be a proper occasion
to do an act of justice to the translator, in the
.anguaire of a political opponent-the .New-
York Gazette:
This pretty little volume is full of excellent
natter, and very well worthy of translation, for
t contains the best of sentiments expressed gene-
rally in the best form; but, we confess that it is
not so much for the book itself that we feel desi-
ous of speaking well, as for the opportunity it
gives us of doing justice to a deserving man and
in assiduous scholar. Mr. GREENE is the Post.
Master of Boston, and of course a politician for
whose creed we have very little liking, but, there
s something about the man that every one must
ike. As a public officer, he so discharges the du-
ies of his place as to gain universal good will,
mnd while by faithful services he secures that meed
ot praise from all parties, his literary labors are
equally acceptable to the public. By his own un-
esisted and indefatigable application he has made
himselt a thorough German, French and Italian
scholar, as he has already proved by more than
ne very meritorious translation from those Ian-.
guages,"

The following from an opposition source,
s a sufficient answer to the latest piece of rig-
narole in the E. Journal, touching the Florida
Var;
LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
We have this morning been favored with the
erusal of a letter from the medical director of the
rmy, dated Tampa Bay, November 21st, which
ives us the latest direct intelligence from that
quarter. Gen. Taylor, Captains Sewell and Ful-.
on and Lieutenants Bragg and Mumf'ord, who
ad all been down with lever, were recovering.-
ly the same letter it appears the only officers
whn have died at that n laa werep Dtanrninn frklr.


Why has HE CLAY been laid upon the
shelf? Why do his late eulogists and parti-
zans shrink from him as a candidate, and urge
first a name scarcely thought of until within a
few weeks comparatively, and whose princi-
ples and views are unknown to the American
people, and finally, rather than adhere to their
leader and late favorite, offer as their candidate
a man whose qualifications arid standing and
political elevation and services entitle him to
no such distinction? Simply because Mr.
Clay's political course and opinions are too well
known-because they dare not go to the peo
ple with their principles frankly avowed and
fully known-because they feel that they can-
not sustain and dare not put their Cause upon
a candidate, however strong in their personal
attachment towards him, who is known to em-
body their opinions upon all the great questions
now before the American people. Do not the
" whig" party stand seif-condemned before the
world?

ILLINOIs.-The legislature of this state con-
venes, ordinarily, every two years. The gov-
ernor, however, is authorised, when in his
judgment the emergency demands it, to convene
the body specially. Gov. Carlin, under this
authority, has called the legislature to meet on
the inst.
It is supposed that the session will be con-
fined to two material subjects,-internal im-
provements, and the specie suspension by the
State Bank. Owing to the present pecuniary
difficulties, the public works have been suspen-
ded, or have been slowly going forward at ma-
ny different points, with little efficiency, or
probable ultimate utility. The legislature will
probably concentrate the means of the state
upon one or two essential works; leaving the
internal improvement progeny generally to a
more favorable future, if indeed the public inte-
rest will not demand the abandonment of more
or less of them. The recent sale of state stock
by Mr. Young comes in good time to the aid
of the executive and the legislature, and will
probablyfurnish the means to prosecute the great
Chicago canal with vigor. In relation to the
bank, the democratic newspapers insist, if the
penalties of a suspension be not enforced, that
material reforms be introduced, and that the
stockholders be denied a dividend and the offi-
cers their salaries until it shall resume the pay-
ment of specie.
The democracy of the state are moving with
great vigor in their primary meetings, for the
ippointmnent of delegates to a state convention,
to be held at an early day. They evince a
high and right spirit, and if we may judge from

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
WVashington, Dec. 6, 1839.
Dear sir-IR accordance with constitutional t
provision, both houses of Congress convened at l
Lhe Capitol at 12 o'clock on Monday. Every 1
member but one, (Mr. Kempshall of N. Y.) was t
in hlisa seat-a circumstance 8aid to be without a t
precedent on the first day of a session, since the (
formation of the government. Prompted by curi-
osity, and anticipating, no doubt, from the nearly
balanced state of parties, a warm contest in the (
election of Speaker and organization of the House, (
the city during the past weel has been thronged ]
with strangers, and the galleries of the House,
from the commencement of the session, literally
stuffed.
The first day, Mr. GARLANDA clerk of the last t
congress, called the House toorder, and in accor- i
dance with usage, proceeded .o call the roll, by t
states, geographically, commencing with Maine.
On reaching New Jersey, he marked that lie had I
in his possession certificates of election for two t
sets of delegates, ten in all, aid not deeming it his .
province to decide as to which were, and which i
were not entitled to seats, ha proposed to go on (
with the other states until a quorum of members i
should be ascertained tc be present, when the I
house would be so far organi-ed as to be able to
take up and legally decide upon the contested
seats. Here, however, the call was arrested, by
the commencement of a discussion which continu-
ed through that and the two succeeding days,
mostly confined to gentlermen of the opposition.-
Yesterday, Mr. RHETT, o S. C., introduced a re-
solution, proposing a temporary organization, by
the appointment of a chairman, and on his motion
JOHN QuINcy ADAMS wts appointed.
Both the Jersey delegations are in attendance,
as are also Messrs. Ingeisoll and Naylor, of Penn-
sylvania. This last case ought, and no doubt will
be referred back to the people. Such reference is
due to the democracy o that district, and due to
Mr Ingersoll himself. There is no question as to
there being a large majority in his flavor, and so
the ballot boxes will report if the battle is fought
over again.
The whole delay and interruption in the organi-
zatio i of the house, thusfr, has grown out of a
manifest determination on the part of the federal
members, to avail themselves in the choice of Spea.
ker, of the votes of the five disputed federal dele-
gates from New Jersey, This they are willing to
do, in violation of all justice and all precedent, and
in total disregard of the sovereign~will of the peo-
ple of that state. The democratic branch of the
House, although conscious that the five democra-
tic claimants are elected: and are unjustly deprived
of their seats by fraud, ie in favor of all the claim-
ants from New Jersey standing aside, until the
questions in which they are particularly interested
are adjudicated by the house-that being the only
legitimate tribunal known to the constitution lor
settling such matters, and that tco, I believe, be-
ing in accordance with the long established rule of
the house of commons in Enjand. Thus the
question stands at present, and vhat the final re-
sult will be, it is impossible now o foretell.
To-day, the discussionhas beei somewhat ani-
mated and interesting. Ainon, those who par-
ticipated in the debate, were Mears. DROMGOOLE,
WISE, DUNCAN, BRIGGos, RHE'T, VANDERPOEL,
CRAIG, and THoMAs of Md. Beween three of the
members of the New-York delegation, there was
quite an amusing and spirited starring. I allude
to Messrs. GRANGER, HOFFMAN .nd VANDERPOEL.
Mr. VANDERPOEL took an apped from the deci-
sion of the Chairman, (Mr.Adaas) and accompa-
nied his appeal with some anim:ted remarks, de-
nouncing the decision as founded in usurpation.
Messrs. GRANOER and HoFrMANundertook to lec-
ture Mr. V. for his use of the wcrd "usurpation,"
and the latter seized upon the opportunity of deal-
ing out most copiously to Mr. Adams a commodi-
ty called "soft soap." The gentlemen who at-
tacked Mr. V. had abgnt cause to regret their
movement. Mr. GaR^ Ra denied M-. V.'s ex-
pressed regard for the"rights of the people, and
minutely detailed the case of Peter Allen, ofe New-
York, in 1815. Mr. VANDERPOEL, in reply, said
that humble as he was, he had been dragged into
this debate most unkindly, and he could therefore
speak of himself upon one point, without egotism.
He had reason to love the people, for they had
ever treated him most generously. Five times
had they honored him with high and responsible
trusts,-and never, never had tuey rejected him.


thorities of Brunswick were taking active mea.-
sures to ferret out the murderer.
WOMAN BURNT TO DEATH.-At Boston, oaMoa-o
day night last, a woman named Reed wasburnt
to dean by her clothes taking fire. Another wo.
man, by the name of Magner, was also found in
her chamber on the same evening, with her face
and bosom badly burnt; she had retired only a-
bout ten minutes, when discovered. It is suppose
ed she had a fit, as she was subject to them, and
complained of being unwell before retiring.
SCALDEDTO DEATH.-On Tuesday evening, a-
bout 6 o'clock, James Dack, aged nine years, fell
through a trap door into a vat of hot water, in
Mr. James Sawyer's brewery, near th.e falls. He
had, probably, incautiously raised the door himself,.
as it was generally kept closed. A singular ftktal-
ity had apparently attended this lad. Three times.
he had been rescued from death, as by miracle. -
But a few days since, his sister took him from a
cistern, by his hair, when nearly dead.-Rochster-

BRIEF LITERARY NOTICES.

THE FARMERS' COMPANION, or Essays on
he Principles and Practice of d merican Hits-
bandry. The last production ofthe late Judge
BUEL, was a work of which the above is the
title, written at the request and for the uses of
the Board of Education of the state of Massa-
chusetts, and published under their sanction, as
a part of the School Library," by Marsh, Ca-
pen, Lyon & Webb. It contains also the Ad-
dress prepared to be delivered before the Agri-
cultural and Horticultural Societies of New-
Haven, Ct., and an Appendix, embracing tables
and other useful matter to the farmer.
It was not only the last of the valuable
works from the practical and philosophic pen of
the lamented Judge B., but oneupon which he
bestowed much care, and which carries with it
the characteristics for which he was distinguish-
ed,-simplicity, perspicuity, and the combined
results of science and art, in the detailed opera-
;ions of the farm. It was the intention of
Judge B. (say the publishers) during the com-
ng winter, to follow this with another work
on matters interesting to the farmer and gene-
ral reader, but the All-wise Disposer of events
has seen fit to order differently; and this vo-
lume, therefore, as his last and most important
work, must be looked upon as a rich legacy by
him bequeathed to the friends of agriculture
and education, and as an earnest of what, had
his life been spared, he would have continued
to do, for the advancement of the two interests
for whose success his earnest aspirations were
sent up."
The work is for sale at the office of the
School Library, No. 126 Fulton street, New-
York.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF HUMAN LIFE--By
AMOS DEANr, Professor of Medical Jurispru-
dence in the Albany Medical College. Boston,
Marsh, Copen, Lyon and Webb.
Under this general title, our respected
townsman has brought out a new work, which
more than any other, tests his qualities as a
philosophical thinker and writer. We need
not say to those who are familiar with the pre-
vious efforts of the author, that the test may be
freely applied without danger to his well earn-
ed reputation in both respects.
The work professes to be an investigation of
the great elements of Life:-the Power that
acts-the Willithat directs the action-and the
Accountability or Sanctions that influence the
formation of Volitions: together with reflec-
tions adapted to the physical, political, popular,
moral and religious natures of man. It is
any attempt to define "the great principles
that regulate the movement and are developed
in the action, of conscious human life;" and to
reduce them within the limits of a system.-
Reserving for a future occasion, a more elabo-
rate notice of the work, we shall only say at
this time that it is not less simple and intelli-
gible in the classification, than profound and
able in its illustration of its subjects.

THE PEOPLE'S OwN BooK-by F. De La
Mennais-translated by Nathaniel Greene-
Boston, Little and Brown, 1839.
In the work before us, the translator has ad-
ded another to his conceded claims upon the
public approval. Although the Abb6 Mennais
wrote for and about a people borne down by
oppressions from which we are measurably ex-
empt, yet his work abounds in great general
truths, applicable to humanity in all its forms,
and worthy to be considered, not less by the
people of a free than a monarchical government.
For here, as every where, there are distinctions,
made broader by an artificial state of society,
and more galling by the assumptions of wealth
and pretension, and an unfeeling and arrogant
claim of superiority, by the few, over what is
regarded as the common mass. The work is
calculated to instruct the People in a knowledge
of their rights and duties-to show their insep-
erable connexion-to inculcate the great prin-
ciple of an equality of rights,'and the evil of
exclusive and special privileges-and to lead
to an elevation of character, in every thing that
constitutes the dignity and enjoyment, as well
as the mutual dependence, of social, moral and
political life. The translator has presented
these important truths in simple end pure Eng-
lish,-a task for which he is abundantly capa-


CONCERNS OF THE STATES.

OHIO.-The legislature of this state con-
vened at Columbus on the 2nd inst. The Sen-
ate organised by the choice of WILLIAM Mc-
LAUGHLIN, as Speaker, C. J. McNULTY, (the
former incumbent) Clerk, and SAMUEL BUR-
WELL, sergeant-at-arms,-all democrats, and
all elected without opposition. In the House
of Representatives, THOMAS J. BUCHANAN was
elected Speaker, having received 59 of the 69
votes cast, ASA J. DIMICK Clerk, and JACOB
HARPER, Sergeant-at-Arms, the federalists
making no organized opposition.
The message of Gov. SHANNON was trans-
mitted to both houses on the 3rd inst. It is a
long document, ably drawn up, much of it re-
lating to the questions of currency and banking.
On the subject of the state finances Gov. S.,
says:-" The state debt is already upward of
twelve millions. On ten millions and a half
we are paying interest, which constitutes a
heavy tax on the people."
In the table of the debts of the several
states which was published in the Argus last
spring the stock debt of Ohio was put down
at $6,101,000; which is less by $4,400,000
than the debt on which the state is now pay-
ing interest; and 6,000,000 less than the en-
tire debt of the state, without including the U.
S. deposit debt.
The state of Ohio, at the commencement of
its system of internal improvements, laid a di-
rect tax for the payment of interest, and has
maintained its credit by adhering to a sound
system of finance.
The receipts for canal tolls the present year
amount to $478,483 51, being an increase of
$42,534 17 from last year. The revenues
from the public works are not sufficient to pay
for repairs and interest on the original cost.-
The Governor urges upon the consideration of
the legislature the importance of arresting the
further accumulation of the state debt. On
this subject he says:
The time has actually arrived when we are
forced by the dictates of prudence to pause and
consider what can be done to arrest the accumu-
lation of our state debt. Under the 'act to au-
thorise a loan of' credit by the state of' Ohio to rail-
road companies, and to authorise subscriptions by
the state to turnpike, canal and slackwater navi.
gation companies, passed March 24, 1837, the
state debt has been increased $2,492,215. This
act has left no discretion in the Executive, as to
the cases where it would be proper lor the state to
subscribe for stock. When any turnpike road,
canal, or slack-water navigation company makes
it appear to the Executive, that a certain amount
of stock has been subscribed by individuals, and
that a certain proportion of the amount subscribed
has been paid in and expended on the improve.
meant, it is made the duty of the Governor to sub-
scribe, in the case of turnpike road companies, fbr
an amount equal to that subscribed by individuals.
And in the case of canal and slackwater naviga-
tion companies, for an amount equal to one half
of that subscribed by individuals. Thus the entire
credit of the state is placed at the will of these
companies. They can involve the state in a debt
to an unlimited amount. In less than three years
we have seen the state debt increased, under the
provisions of this law, near two and one halt mil-
lions. These companies are increasing with great
rapidity, no doubt with the view of 'availing them
selves of its provi-ions. The calls on the Gover.
nor to subscribe on behalf of the state to the stock
of these companies will most probably increase,
rather than diminish, for some time to come. The
funds drawn from the state treasury under this
act, have not in any cases been applied in the most
judicious manner, and the policy of the law under
any circumstances, I consider very questionable.
The immediate repeal of this law is respectfully
recommended for your consideration."
The legislative business is going forward
rapidly under democratic auspices in both
houses. Among the proceedings we notice
the passage in the Senate of a resolution au-
thorising the Governor, the Fund Commission-
er and the Board of Public Works to suspend
action under the law for loaning the state cred-
it to turnpike companies, known as the "turn-
pike plunder act." In the House, the subject
of the state finances and improvements, had
been taken up, and the preliminary enquiries
made touching the actual public expenditures
and ti~bilitioo.
We notice also the re-appointment for three
years as public printer, of SAMUEL MEDARY,
the able editor of the Ohio Statesman, by the
entire democratic vote of both branches-a
deserved compliment to his high personal
worth, and his efficiency in the cause of sound
principles.
The democratic majority in the Senate is


4th inst., fixing on the Monday following for
the choice of a U. S. Senator; but was laid on
the table, 66 to 50, on account of the absence
of several members. A bill "'for the tempo-
rary relief of the banks of the Commonwealth,"
passed the house of delegates on the 4th, ayes
83, noes 40. SAMUEL SHEPPERD was on
Thursday elected public printer for one year,
without opposition.

The provincial parliament on the 3rd inst., was
addressed hy the Governor-General in person,
chiefly in reference to local matters. Of the bor-
der troubles he speaks with confidence arguing
full and accurate information on the subject. He
says:-
"It is with great satisfaction I can inform you
'hat I have no grounds for apprehending a recur-
rence of those aggressions upon our frontier which
we had lately to deplore, and which fixed an in-
delible disgrace upon their authors."
The project of a legislative re-union of the two
provinces, is merely glanced at in the speech-as
the matter is to be the subject of a special corn
munication and recommendation hereafter. The
New-York Sun thus sketches an incident which
occurred at the opening ofthe session:-
After the reading of the speech the Assembly
returned to their own chamber, and Sir Allan Mc-
SNab, the Speaker, then announced his continued
determination to resign, but Mr. Hagerman rose
and earnestly remonstrated against his doing so.
It seems that Sir Allan's resolution was taken at
the last session, in consequence of a vote against
his being sent commissioner to London, which he
regarded as indicating a want of confidence. This
Side Mr. Hagerman repudiated, and finally put a
motion to tie House that Sir Allan continue to
occupy the Speaker's chair, which was unani-
mously agreed to, and Sir Allan consented. The
Colonist says that the whole affair had very much.
Sthe appearance of being previously arranged."
RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.-A most shocking acci-
dent occurred on the rail road, near the Big Darm,

THE DyiNG YEAR.--" Midnight Mass, for the
Dying Year," is the striking title of Prof. LONG-
FELLOW'S 1 Fifth Psalm ot Life," in the last
Knickerbocker. It is exceedingly beautiful and
spirited, as the following stanzas will show:
Yes, the year is growing old,
And his eye is pale and blear'd;
Death, with frosty hand and cold,
Plucks tihe old man by trie beard,
Sorely-sorely!
The leaves are falling, falling,
Solemnly and slow;
Caw caw I the rooks are calling;
It is a sound of wo,
A sound uf wo l
Through woods and mountain p -,ss,
The winds like anthems roll
They arc chanting solemn masses,
Saying,' Pray for this poor soul,
Pray-pray I'
And the hooded clouds, like friars,
Tell their beads in drops of rain,
And patter their doleful prayers
But it is all in vain--
All In vain I
There he stands in the foul weather,
The foolish, fonl Old Year,
Crown'd with wild-flowers and with heather,
Like weak, despised Lear,
A king-a king!

To the crimson woods he saith,
And the voice gentle and low
Of the soft air, like a daughter's breath,
Pray, do not mock me so S
Do not laugh at me!'
And now the sweet day is dead;
Cold in his arms it lies;
No stalin from its breath is spread
Over the glassy skies,
N- mist nor sttin I
Then too, the Old Year dleth,
And thei forests utter a moan,
Like the voice of one who crieth
In the wilderness alone,
Vex not his ghost!'
Then comes, with an awful roar,
Gathering and sounding on,
Thie Storm-wind from Labrador,
The wind Euroclydon,
The Storm-wind I
S Howl! howl! and from the forest
The red leaves are swept away !
Would the sins that thou abhurrest,

And pass away! *

Twenty-sixth Congress----First session.

Wednesday, December 11, 1839.
IN SENATE.
Mr. NICHOLAS and Mr. MOUToN appeared in their
seats this morning.
Mr. BENTON offered resolutions which lay over,
calling for information touching the massacress
which have taken place in Florida before and af-
ter the war became open on the part of the Indians,
4&C.
Also asking from the Secretary of the Trea-
isury tabular statements of the import and export e
-of' gold bullion, with the excess of each an- s
finally, as lar back as the returns in the Treasury
-department will enable the table to be made up. (
Also a like table of gold coin, of silver bullion, and a
of silver coin; with a table of recapitulation.-
And asking detailed statements of lthe weekly ex. f
portations of coin and bullion for the year 1839, (
with the names and residences of the exporters, g
and their consiguees in foreign countries; of the
annual coinage of gold and silver at the Mint and r
the branches; of' the annual product of the gold
mines of the United States-the whole made up to r
Lthe end of the year 1839. a
The Senate then went into executive session; t
and afterwards adjourned. W
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. b
The question pending was on Mr. TURNzEY'S ap- o
peal from the decision ot the Chair yesterday, that c
Mr. RHETT's motion to lay Mr. WxsE'S resolution i
on the table was lost-the vote standing 115 in o
the affirmative and 115 in the negative, counting
the votes of the Chair and Mr. Naylor (the con- c
tested member from Pa.) in the negative, h
By the aid of the previous question, the appeal a
w put to the house, and the tellers reported 112 e
as voting in the affirmative, (including Mr. Nay- c
lor auad Gov. Pennington's five delegates,) and 118
in the negative (including Mr. Ingersoll of Pa., o
and three of the People's representatives trom New j<
Jersey.) b
Wuihout announcing the result, which was clear- a
ly against the decision of the Chair, excluding the
contested votes on either side, the CHAIR stated
that more members had voted from Pennsylvania
and New Jersey than those states were entitled
to, and that it was now for the house to say which s
*of the contested votes should be counted! ti
Another scene of tumult and violence ensued- d

Ihe members voting with the majority against the
,decision ot the Chair contending that as the dis- a
puted votes could not vary the result, the decision (
,of the House should be forthwith announced and
!recorded-and the minority insisting with the o
tChair that whether the disputed votes changed the
-result or not, the house must and should decide ti
tthe preliminary question as to which should be bi
41ouated. The din and difficulty was, it possible, tU
increased by Mr. Wrsx's springing the previous je
queftiwn on the new matter thrust before the house
by-the Chair. In the course of this scene, which R
.t~be reporters agree in saying was tumultuous be. d,

ken in the house, which should be announced by c(
the Chair, before any other question was raised, tc
Sir, .(said Mr. T.) I ask it you were placed in that
cba.ir to announce only such decisions as would re
suit your party [Much noise and confusion, up

,of the question before the house, and announce th
*the decision it has made, before you attempt to
x'aise another question. I want to know it you p(
were placed in that chair to suppress the decisions ca
vf this house, and play the tyrant? [Much noise m
and confusion.] cc
[Mr. STANLEY here ran across the area in front o0
of the Clerk's table, and up one of the passages,
slapping his hands, and crying out in a loud voice, hli
-"Let-the gentleman come to me; I will settle that be
question with him."] M
Mr. TURNEY. Sir, your decisions have been te
.again and again reversed by the house, because
you have had no regard to law, to justice, and to
'the rules and usages ot the house; and although lo
.-the house has so reversed them, its decisions can- of
atot be enforced, because you are determined to ec
inake good your declaration, that so long as you bt
occupy that Chair, the members from New Jer- of
sey whose cause you favor, shall never be deprived in
ofl'their votes. The house has reversed your de- S.
,cision but a short time ago, on my appeal, by a
,clear majority of undisputed members. There m
-were voting against your decision 118, only four tit
,disputed members voting on that side, while there
-were only 112 voting to sustain that decision, six ge
,of whom were disputed members. So that by stri- sa
king out the four disputed votes against your de- hi
visionn, there would be a majority against you, t'
,even though you count the disputed votes in favor de
of your decision. Yet, notwithstanding this clear h(
-majority, you refuse to announce the result, and
,decide that another question must first be deter-
,mined. Sir, your decision is tyrannical and mon- w
.8troum. You have usurped the powers of the
House, and attempted to reverse its solemn decis m
,ions, and I shall appeal again and again, so long pr
4w you pursue this most extraordinary course. I ele
demand that you shall announce the result on the ge.

you will not, I appeal from your decision, or

commonwealth of' Pennsylvania had been affixed
o this proclamation in the first instance.
The CLERK held up the proclamation, but the
'porter could not see whether the great seal was
pon it or not
Mr. KEIM: ls there not some memorandum in
me possession of the Clerk, which will show that
me great seal was not upon it in the first instance?
The CLERK then iead a memorandum, as there
)rter understood it, that Mr. John Sergeant had
killed at the Clerk's office and obtained the procla-
ation, fbr the purpose of having the seal of the
commonwealth placed upon it, which ihad been
fitted in the first instance.
Mr. NAYLOR then rose, and said, I hold in my

ftore the issuing of the proclamation declaring
Ir. Ingersoll elected, which declares that lam delec.
d.
[Many voices. Let us hear it read ]
The CLIRK then read the paper which Mr. Nay-
)r handed up. It was a copy of the proclamation
' gov. Ritner, before read, which had been obtain-
1 from the office of the secretary of state at Harris-
irg, and certified by Francis R. Shunk, secretary
State, as being a correct ropy, and also contain-
ig a certificate of gov. Porter that Francis R.
hunk was his secretary of state.
Mr. RAMSAY: This is a mere copy of the procla-
ation of governor Ritner, which was read a short
me ago.
Mr. SMITH of Maine: Did I not understand the
entlemaln from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Naylor,) to
y, when he presented this paper, that he held in

[Loud cries of" order!" orderly" order!"
Mr. NAYLOR: Leave the gentleman to me. I
ill answer him.
Mr. SMI-rH proceeded: Did the gentleman not

oclamation of governor Porter, declaring him

gentleman with intentional quibbling, but if that

mind the noes to be 122, (3 having voted frc
New Jersey.) So the house again determined t,
Mr. Aycrigg's vote should not be counted.
CHAIRMAN. The Chair considers the decision
unconstitutional. [Loud laughter.]
Mr. DaOMGOOLE considered the declaration ju
nade by the Chair, to be a direct reflection
the house.
The CHAIR proceeded. The decision of tl
house deprived a sovereign state of its right to s,
through its constituted authorities who should
its representative on that floor; and it wa
therefore, in the opinion of the Chiair, unconstit
tional; but, inasmuch as the meeting had though
proper to make the decision, the Chair would acqA
esce in it, and announce the result; which was, th
tke vote of Mr. Aycrigg should not be counted.
[(. Oh! ahl that indeed I" Great sensation I
the house and galleries.]
The question then was put successively on eac
of the other Pennington claimants-Messrs. MAI
WELL, HALSTED, STRATTON and YORKE-and ti
house by a vote of 116 to 122, and of 110 to 11'
again determined that neither of these claiman
should vote.
The question was put on the right of Mr. INGE1
SOLL of Pa., and of Messrs. KILLE, COOPER an
RYALL of New Jersey, to vote, and the house una7
imously determined that they should not be counted
So both sets from New Jersey and one trot
Pennsylvania were excluded by the house.
The case then stood thus:-The house had d(
cided that the votes of both sets from New Jerse
should not be counted on the appeal. So tha
excluding these votes, the result was, as before
against the decision of the Chair that the motion t
lay Mr. Wise's resolution on the table was lost b
a tie. But meanwhile the house had decided tha
Mr. Naylor's vote should be counted on the aj
peal, and the Chair therefore took it for granted
that the decision in question was in effect affirmed
as it was Mr. Naylor's vote that made the tie!
[The reporters here record "roars of laughter,'
and no wonder.]
Mr. WISE finding that under this new move c
the Chair, his resolution was not laid on the te
ble, but still alive, moved the previous question oi
it. His resolution reads as follows:-
"Resolved, That the Acting Clerk of thi
House shall proceed with the call of the member
from the different States of the Union in the usua
way, calling the names of such members from Net
Jersey as hold the regular and legal commission,
from the Executive of that State."
The main question was ordered to be put, an
was taken, by unanimous consent, by ayes an(
noes, and the resolution was rejected, ayes 111
noes 118.
Mr. RHETT then offered the following, and de
handed the previous question on it:-
Resolved, That the House will. proceed to cal
the names of gentlemen whose right to seats art
riot disputed or contested; and, after the names o
such members are called, and bef'ure a Speaker ii
elected, they shall, provided there be a quorum o'
such present, then hear and adjudge upon the elec
ions, returns, or qualifications of all claimants,
(Mr. NAYLOR and Mr. INGERSOLL excepted) to thE
seats contested on this floor.
The main question was ordered to be put, on the
first clause, ending with the word contested"
a division having been called for) and it was a-
greed to without a count.
The second branch was also carried, ayes 138,
noes 92.
Mr. CAMPBELL who voted with the majority,
ose and said that he did so for the purpose of en-
bling him to move a reconsideration, with a view
o offer another proposition to the effect that the
tames of the legally certified members only should
ie called, that the house should then proceed to
organize, with the understanding that when the
contested rights should be determined, such organ-
zation should be dissolved, and a new election of
officers be had forthwith.
The question was put on reconsidering the first
lause ot the resolution just passed, (the CHAIR
having meanwhile made and withdrawn, under
n appeal, a decision that the motion to reconsid-
r was not divisible), and the house refused to re-
onsider, ayes 102, noes 116.
Pending the question on reconsidering the vote
Dn the second branch, a motion was made to ad-
ourn, which the CHAIR decided to be out of order;
ut, upon an appeal, reversed its own decision,
nd the house adjourned.

A SCENE IN THE H. OF R.
While the counter claims of Messrs. Inger-
oll and Naylor of Pa., were under considera-
ion in the H. of R. on Wednesday, the sceee
described below (the reporters on both sides
gree) actually took place. We take the
rlobe's report of the affair:
The question was now stated to be on the right
M -r. .Naylor to Tote.
Mr. CRANE again stated that before that ques-
on was put, he desired to have the credentials of
oth Mr. Naylor fnd Mr Ingm'sioit re,,m, iin nrrlor
lat he might vote understandingly on the sub-
ast.
The CLERK then read the proclamation of gov.
litner, dated the 30th ol October, 1838, which
eclared that Messrs. Paynter, Sergeant, Toland,
aylor, etc. were elected members of the twenty.
xth congress.
Mr. KEIM inquired whether the great seal of the


or wrong, in declining to decide this great quies-
tion, and in throwing it lor decision upon the C
House ot Representatives? Who will say that he
alone of all reasonable men in the country was to v
act on the assumption that the right oJ election r
was in the Governor of New-Jersey, and not in t
the people of New-Jersey.
It the object of this objection to receiving false
or undue returns had been merely to enable the
administration party to carry their officers, then I
it would have been an inadequate and most unne- a
cessary movement; for they could have carried the a
State Rights' candidate, Mr. Lewis, with the
New-Jersey whigs against them, by a majority of a
seven. As to the Clerk, even it' he had been the e
sort of a man, as he is not, to be influenced by c
personal motives, he was hazarding his election, i
rather than promoting it, by offending the whigs.
There were no less than six whigs of whose vwtes
he was certain, had this difficulty not occurred; r
and all those votes he will, probably, lose, in con- s
sequence of it. I regarded it as a contest for the i
freedom o elections; as a question between the
people and their returning officers; and the count. r
try is, in my opinion, to be congratulated on ac- t
count of the decision. I

The meeting may be considered as having made r
progress to-day towards the organisation ol a house
of representatives. They have in effect settled the
question that the New Jersey whigs shall not vote t
until their claims are investigated, and it is decid- (
ed whether they have or have not a just right to
seats as members. They decided further that Nay-
lor was entitled to vote. Those questions were J
taken by yeas and nays, strange as it may seem,

Washington, Wednesday, Dec. 11.
SThe House is now in a tair way to be very soon
organized. The meeting of the members elect
have agreed upon the course to be pursued, pre.
liminary to an organization. There will be no
more disturbance nor confusion. Every thing is
likely to proceed harmoniously. As old MIr.
Auama said, some days ago, there was more of
heat than diversity ot opinion in this meeting.
The meeting has decided the grand question--
who shall vote,"-and a most just and righteous 1
decision it is. They decided that Mr. Naylor had
i right to vote, and that neither of the New Jer-
sey sets of claimants had any right to vote. They 4
then passed Mr. Rhett's resolution, which directs
that the unmdisputed members be called, and that
they decide upon the election returns of those
in dispute, (except Mr. Naylor and Mr. Ingersoll)
prior to the election of a Speaker. Thus, after
nine days discussion, has the House come to the orin

ty feeling aside, there are few men who can con- (
tend that it is erroneous. The House has nobly
sustained its own character and privileges, by in
tarposing between popular rights and the usurpation e
of unfaithful returning officers. Who will say, t
now, that the Clerk of the House, acted unwisely

The above extract from an authoritative ar-
icle in the Evening Journal, copied into the

it the time, or we should have noticed it so far
as to say, that the charge which we, as wedil
as that portion of the public who take an inter-
ist in the matter, suppose it to convey against
one of our citizens, is as indecently made, as
t is untrue in point of fact.
The article in the Journal, above alluded to,
purports to be editorial, but its learned disqui-
itions upon the statute law and the common
aw, and its magisterial air, betray a conscious
possessionn of all the knowledge con-ected with
he whole subject, of which the editor of the
Evening Journal is as guiltless as the Attorney

ever, the article is characterized by all tha
courtesy and amenity of manner as well as be-
nignity of temper and benevolence of feeling,
vhich distinguish the conduct as they illuminate
he countenance of an amiable member of the
Cabinet here, who, in the absence of Mr. Weed,
is generally denominated the government de
facto.
It remains to be seen whether the individual
alluded to can spare sufficient time from his
numerous functions to explain the cause of this
vilful assault upon a private citizen, or wheth-
r, as in the case of a like attack upon General
)ix, he will quietly creep under the mantle of
he respectable editor of the Evening Journal.

NiR. ADAMS AND THE NEW-JERSEY


one of Mr. Adams's absurd and tyrannical dec
ions. Mr. A. refused to entertain the appeal, u
til absolutely forced to do it. Mr. Turney then a
tempted to make some remarks, which Mr. Adar
declared to be out of order. Why, no mor
could tell.
d The whole whig side of the house seconded M
Adams with the cry of order," and the voices
" Graves, Wise, White & Co., were heard above
* the rest. Mr. T. was to be cried down, as eve
. man was to be, upon the administration side, wl
Attempted to make a move in the meeting. Th
was manifest. But Mr. Turney is not the man
Scower by being browbeat. There are few men,
* any, who have as much nerve and firmness. E
Sent on with his speech, amid the cry of ( c
der," from the whigs, and go on," from h
Friends, who gathered around to defend him fro
violence, if any should be attempted, apparent
with as much self-possession as if all the wor
passions of human nature had not been raging
around him at the moment. His resolute county
nance, his bold and determined stand, complete]
held the whigs at bay. No hand dared do violent
to him, although sundry hands were seen to da:
quickly to those places where deadly weapons ar
believed to be hidden. Whig desperation, as
for the first time fully conscious of its own infi
mous designs, slunk to its seat, and Mr. T. wa
permitted to proceed without further interruption
The question was afterwards taken on the appeal
and the decision of the Chair reversed, as usual.
If the meeting reconsiders the vote to-morrow
upon the second clause of Mr. Rhett's resolution
it will then be exactly where the embryo Houw
was when the whigs interrupted Mr. Garland i
the call of his roll, and first commenced their at
tempts to force the whig members from New Jei
sey to seats, as members, in order to get their vote
for a whig Speaker. But whether reconsider
or not, the meeting will have decided that ti
very course shall now be pursued which Mr. G
desired to pursue in the first instance, and which
is the only one known to the law, constitution
custom, principle, or precedent, to wit: that th
Clerk shall proceed, and call his roll of members
omitting the names of all whose claim to seats i
disputed for the subsequent consideration of th
House of Representatives, with which alone th
constitution has lodged the power to decide upot
such cases.
THE HEILDERBERG WAR-THE CAM
PAIGN ENDED.
Yesterday afternoon, in the midst of a snow
storm of unprecedented severity, the several
companies from this city and Troy, under th
command of Maj. Bloodgood, marched intc
town, having closed the campaign and the war
in the course of the week's service. Arrived
at the Rail Road depot, at the head of State.
street, they were briefly addressed by the Gov-
ernor, and dismissed. Thence the Burgesses
Corps marched down State-street to the Man-
sion House, as an escort to the Troy compa-
nies, where they took leave; and thence tc
their armory, corner of S. Market and Division
street.
These citizen soldiers, it will be recollected,
marched at 7 last Monday morning, under the
summons of the Sheriff, issued, as the mandate
ran, by order of the Governor." They num-
bered, in the start, about 150; and were subse-
quently joined by three companies from Troy,
in number about 100. They passed, we
believe, the first and second night at Clarks-
ville, (twelve mi]esgfrom the city ;) thence
marching to Rensselaerville, where the
main body were stationed for two or
three days, detachments accompanying the
Sheriff to Knox and other towns. On Friday
they returned to Clarkaville; and yesterday
marched to town, the snow nearly knee deep,
and the storm raging without intermission dur-
ing the day.
We understand that they have met with no
resistance, from the tenantry, in any part of
their route; and that process has been served
by the Sheriff, in all cases where the individu-
als were found, without obstruction. Several
of the persons arrested were admitted to bail;
and three were brought to town and commit-
ted.
The alacrity with which these citizen sol-
diers have obeyed even a questionable sum-
mons, for the maintenance of law and order,
and the calmness, order and soldier-like bear-
ing with which they have endured the fatigue
and exposure, (the weather, alternate rain and
snow, having been severe) have added to their
claims upon the respect and consideration of
their fellow-citizens. They have borne them
selves like veterans; and we hear from all
quarters of the high discipline and propriety of
conduct that have characterized their week's
service, both in their camp duties and their in-
tercourse with the people of the towns.


'n, After the recent election in New-Jersey
se Gov. Pennington, on looking over the returns
in
t. ascertained, that his five candidates were in
r- minority, and that unless they were, neverthe
!s less, commissioned to act in the House of Re
d
e presentatives, the Federal party would be in
Minority in that body. Through the agency o
h two 'partisanClerks,' he succeeded in excluding
', a portion of the returns and commissioning fiv(
, spurious members, under his 'great seal-'-
is Whether this high-handed usurpation is entire-
e ly without precedent let history answer.
e Oliver Cromwell, upon examining the Inden-
tures of the Parliament of 1656, ascertained
that his adherents would not constitute a majo-
rity of those who were duly elected. The Lord
Protector and his Council, through the agency
of a partisan Clerk, resorted to an expedient
to remedy the evil, of the character and opera-
tion of which we find the following narrative
in an impartial historical work:-
r In a letter to the Speaker from the members
who had been refused admittance at the door of
Sthe lobby, Sept. 18, the house ordered the Clerk
of the Commonwealth to attend next day with all
Sthe Indentures. The Deputy Clerk came accord-
ingly with an excuse for his principal and brought
1he ludentures: but on being asked why the names
Sof certain members were not returned to the hmuse,
Answered that he had no certificate of approbation
for them. The House on this sent to inquire why
these members had not been approved. They re-
turned for answer that whereas it is ordained by a
clause in the Instrument of Government that the
persons who shall be elected to serve in Parlia-
ment shall be such, and no other than such, as
are persons of known integrity, tearing God, and
of good conversation; that the Council, in pursu-
ance of their duty, and according to the trust re-
posed in them, have examined the said returns,
and have not refused to approve any who have AP-
PEARED TO THEM to be persons of integrity, fearing
God, and of good conversation; an'd those who
are not approved, his Highness hath given order
to some persons to take care that they do not come
into the House."

GooD.-The following clever quip comes
from the Rochester Daily Advertiser:-
Well," exclaimed one whig to another, when
the news of the nomination arrived in this city,
don't you think we've shot our Granny"
"No!" replied the other, not perceiving the
metaphor, but I wish we had /"

FIRST BALL op EAOLE ENeiNE COMPANY,
No. 7.-This numerous and well-appointed
Company give their first Annual Ball this eve-
ning at Stanwix Hall. The circumstances
which have led to its postponement, will, now
that the gallant campaigners have returned from
duty, enhance the hilarity and interest of the
occasion, and probably add to the number in
attendance. The arrangements for the f6te
have been made with the liberality and good
taste that characterise the Company; and it
will come off, we do not doubt, with eclat.

AN OLD OFFENDER ARRESTED.-On the night of
the 11 thi inst., an old offender by the name oi Hen-
ry Cr-iston, who has been out of the state prison
but a few months, stole a horse in the town of
Nassau, and was pursued by R. Merrill, an officer,
and tracked as far as Greenbush, where the horse
was found, but the thief had made his escape into
this city. Merrill, although but little acquainted
with the hiding places of individuals of Cran-
ston's character, determined to arrest him, and
procured the assistance of that invaluable and effi-
cient officer, Mr. Miller, of Greonbush, who soon
ferreted out the thief; and delivered him over to
the proper authorities. Too much praise cannot
be awarded to Mr. Miller for his sagacity in ferret.
ing out and delivering over to justice this harden-
ed offender. A.B.

Messrs. Editors-It is doubtless the duty of every phi-

Under this minpresuion I am constrained to communicate
something I have seen with unusual satisfaction, and
which, if it were made the pattern for extensive imita-

and start a career of high honor and usefulness to m.iny
of our youth. I observed in the papers four city, ano-

SIGNS TO BE NOTICED-In the vicinity

cally shown to the public, they are speedily coming into
general use. They who sell other kinds, dire not try
them experimentally with Douglas's stoves; having
the quantity of fuel, the quality of cooking, the con-
venientes, the smoking, the durability and beauty of
each, properly estimated, and the result published.-
Such trials would soon spoil the pretty puffings of
the stove gentry. When the public have been suffi-
ciently Cheated in the important article of cooking
stoves, they will attend to the real evidences of" value.-
Douglas's stoves burn wood and coal, in about half the
usual quantity of the premium stoves. One minay be
seen in operation every Tuesday, at the store, No. 35

from his late course, to part with his faithful lit.
tie band of followers : and as they stuck by him
in his extremity, so he now sticks by them in their
extremity."

THE WEATHER-AND THE MAILS.
Snow began to fall at about 11 o'clock on
Saturday night; and it continued falling, with-
out intermission, during ail yesterday. So
that at night it was, at an average, of great
depth, and in some streets and places, owing
to the drift, impassable. As it had not ceased
snowing when our paper was put to press last
night, it is impossible to predict the end of it.
Of course the mails were impeded in every
direction. None arrived during the day, by
railroad or steam-boat, or from any quarter.
It is supposed that the steam-boat has not ven-
tured above Hudson, and that the roads are lit-
tle better than impassable between that place
and this. Our latest dates, therefore, from
Washington, are of Wednesday, and from New
York of Friday.
