2Sth CONGRESS.
3" The prospect opens brightly ! Harmo
ny prevails iu Congiess, so far, contrary to the
hopes and wishes of our whig opponents.
Below we give all the news we have received,
up to the time of going to press on Friday
evening :
On Monday last the two Houses of Con
gress met. The Senalo n as called to order
at 12 o'clock, by its President Willie P. Mau
gnm. 22 States wete represented, some of .hem
however, ly only one Senator. lion. Wm.
II. Haywood, Jr., appeared in his seat.
The Senate afier receiving the credentials
of and qi'alilying all the newly elected Sena
tors, adjoin tied.
On Tuesday Ihc Senate done little else
than hear the President's Message. The
Senate ordered 1,500 copies of the Message
and Documents, and 2J00 copies of the mes
sage without the documents. They then
went into an election of Pi inter to the Se
nate, when Gales & Sealou got 23 votes and
Clair & Rives 17; so the forn;er were elected.
TllK HOUSE was called to order at 12
o'clock on Monday, by their Clerk, Matthew
St. Clair Clarke, who proceeded to call the
roll. When the fust name from New
Ilampshiie whose members weie elected by
general ticket had been called, Mr Camp
bell ol'S. C-, inrpiiied whether those members
had been elected in accoi dance wiih the re
quil c-tneilts of the second section of the appor
tionment act, which requires members of
Congiess 'to be elected by Distiiets. Cries
of "order" were heard. 1 The Clerk staled,
that he had a cettifiente of election from the N.
II. members. Mr Campbell then sent a re
solution to the Cleik, to be read, which resolu
tion was in effect, that the Clei k should first
call ihe names of members who were elected
according to the law of Congress, and that
immediately ai'ter, they should hear the claims
and decide upon the rights of the othvr
members (elected by general tiekel) to take
their seals. This resolution the Clerk re
fused to read, and some members objected to
its reading. Mr Campbell then said he
would read it himself as lie had a t ight to do.
Some members intimated he had no right to
read it, iu the then state of the House, and
Mr Campbell did not pi ess the subject. The
roll was then called, and 181) members an
swered, (221 is the whole number.)
The Cleik then said if it were the pleasure
of the House to elect a Speaker, the members
would p epare their ballots. Mr Barnard of
New Yoik (whig) desired to present a paper.
It was objected to by Messrs Ingersoil and
Hrofog.iole (dems.) Alter some talking, the
Clerk put the question to the House on the
reading of the paper, and it was voted down.
Mr Barnard then said the paper was nothing
but a "solemn declaration on the part of
some of the members of the House, of their
opinion of the utter illegality and unconstitu
tionality of preceding to the election of Speak
er rt ith the aid of certain persons who had
answered to their names from New Ifamp
sbiie, Georgia, Mississippi, and Missruri."
It w'3s then agreed to proceed to election of
Speaker, ri'r-a voce. Mr JOHN W. JONES,
of Virginia, received ISS; J no. White (the
old Speaker and a whig) received 59 (the
whole whig stength; MrWillkins, of Pa., 1.
Mr Jones was elected.
The old rules of the last Congress were then
adopted as the rules of this, with one or two
amendments, one of which was abolishing the
rule allowing members only one hour to speak.
Another allowing the House to suspend the
rules by a majority instead of two-thirds. Mr
Adams, as usual, tried to have the 21st, or ab
olition rule nbo!ihd. On ' Tuesday, Mr
Barnard, raised a debate by trying to get his
motion of yesterday and the paper which he
wanted to read, spread upon the journals in
their regular order. The debate was inter
rupted by the reading of tho Message, and
was not renewed to any extent. 15,000
copies of the Message aud 500 copies of the
documents were ordered to be printed.
THK MESSAGE.
3" The President's Message came to
hand on Friday morning. As our paper has
to be mailed by 2 o'clock on that day, we can
only give, this week, the following notice of
it by the Globe :
"The spirit exhibited by the communica
tion of the President, touching our relations
with Mexico and Texas, is of a very different
cast from that manifested iu his dealings with
the difficulties between the United States and
Great Bi ilaiu. If the resolute bearing now
assumed in relation to the prosecution of the
right asserted by Mexieo over Texas had been
maintained towards Great Lrilain when de
manding the dismemberment of Maine, the
integrity of our own territory secured by the
Revolution would have been preserved. We
are glad, however, to see the true tone of the
people of this couutry again resumed by the
executive of the nation, iu speaking of foreign
powers.
But, according to the President's Message,
our finances are not iu a very belligereut con
dition. It would seem that, u ith an increas
ed Taiiftj we have a diminished revenue; and
with enlarged expenditures, a still greater de
ficit of means. And next we are told "there
w ill be, probably, a deficiency for the services
of the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1S45, of
upwards of about four millions;" and a debt
of near six millions more, falling due at the
beginning of next year, must also be provided
for.
The Executive specific for all this is a con
tinental paper money, iu notes runuing down
to five dollars, to be paid out to circulate
among the people, to the amount of fifteen
millions, hike France, when she issued
her assignats, our Administration is opposed
to the increase of loans, particularly in lime of
peace ! ! All incumbrances cau be cleared off
by sub.-titi ting a paper for a- specie currency! !
In connexion with this scheme of "grand
financiering," the renounced exchequer plan
of bankingis again recommended !"
In relation to the Texas question, the Pre
sident, among other things, says :
"I communicate herewith certain despatches
received from our Minister at Mexico, and
also a correspondence which has recently oc
curred between tho Envoy from tha. Republic
and ihe Secretary of State. It must be re
garded as not a little extraordinary that the
Government of Mexico, iu anticipation of a
public discussion, which it has beeu pleased
to infer fiom newspaper publications, as like
ly to take place iu Congress, relating to the
annexation of Texas to the United States,
should have o far anticipated the result of
such discussion as to have announced its de
termination to visit any such anticipated de
cision by a formal declaration of war against
the United States. If designed to prevent
Congiess from introducing that question, as
a fit subject for its calm deliberation and final
judgment, the Executive has no reason to
doubt that it will entiiely tail of its object.
Tho Representatives of a brave aud patriotic
people will sutler no apprehension of future
consequences to embarrass them in the course
their rjiposerl deliberations. Nor will the
Executive Department of the Government
fail, lor any such cause, to discharge its whole
duty to the country."
So rhat it will be seen he does not recom
mend the annexation, but plainly shews that
he thinks the subject ought to occupy the at
tention of Congress.
Hon. Wm. Montgomery, a Represen
tative in the 26th Congress, from this State,
died in Orange county on the 30th ult.
The amount of Treasury notes out
anding oq tho 1st in t., was $4,066,925 92.
K3 The democrats of the Third Congres
sional Dislrict, met at Rockford on the 15th
ult., and appointed the Hon. JNO. HILL.,
their delegate to the Baltimore Convention.
They expressed a strong preference for Mr
Vau Buren, but pledge themselves to support
the nominee. Gen. Graves was Chairman,
and Hugh Stokes, Esq., Secretary.
NO GO. It seems from the Richmond
Enquirer, to be pretty ceitain, that the great
wonderment found out by the whigs, that Gog
gin (whig) was elected over Gilmer by 21
majority, instead of1 Gilmer over Goggin, is
explained by the suggestion that the Clerk of
Madison has probably overlooked the third
day's voting at Robinson's precinct.
Hon. Buy lis J. Earle has resigned his seat
as one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of
South Carolina, on account of ill health.
Later news from the Mississippi elections
confirms tho statement wc made last week,
that we had elected the Governor by 3,500
majority, aud four members of Congress, a
majority of S in the Seuate and 25 iu the
House; whole democratic majority iu Legis
lature, 33.
C The last Standard has a very just arti
cle, censuring Governor Morehead the no
party Governor, as he called himself in his
inaugural for publishing at the expense of
the Stale, the Comptroller's report only iu one
democratic paper in the State, the Signal, and
in four whig papers. So we suppose the
democratic people of the State may take whig
papers if they wish to know any thing of their
own affairs, for what his Excellency " Prac
tical vigor " the no parly Governor, cares.
The Standard published it, however, without
pay, in extenso. Do tell us about those
shingles, and horse shoes, Mr Sianoaid, that
you say the Governor paid for out of the pub
lic money.
fr COL. R. M. JOHNSON. Several
gentlemen of Raleigh invited Col. Johnson
to visit that place on his way home ; to which
he replies, after speaking in high terms of the
Old North State, that he has long desired to
visit North Carolina, and will do so, if pos
sible. The Standard expresses the belief that
he will be present at our State Convention.
We hope there will be a full attendance of
delegates to welcome the Old warrior to North
Carolina hospitality.
SOUTH CAROLINA Gov. Hammond
sent iu his message to the Legislature of
South Carolina, ou the 27lh ult. The princi
pal pait of the message id taken up with his
recommendations of plans for paying the
State debt, which he puts down in round num
bers, at $3,500,000, wiih a period of 26 years
to pay it in. He thinks that unless one of
his schemes be adopted for paying it, it never
will be paid, without creating another. Part
of this debt was created (two millions of it)
for rebuilding the city of Charleston, partly
destroyed by fire iu '38.
He thiuks that until the world approxi
mates to universal free trade, fluctuations and
disasters that will convulse all nations, must
be looked for, aud he looks forward with con
fidence to the abandonment of (be whole sys
tem of high tariffs.
The receipts iuto the Treasury for the year
he states at 299,196 16, and the expendi
tures during the same period at $277,833 77.
Considerable atteution is bestowed ou the
School system : he thiuks the preseut worse
than no system at all, and recommends that
one good Academy be established iu a cen
tral part of each district in the State. The
Catawba Indians, he says are iu a prosperous
condition; and many of them have removed
to North Carolina, and reside among the
Cherokees. They all live on a farm pur
chased for them, and the State of. South Caro
lina, by annual appropriations, supplies all
their wants, and what they make by their own
industry is clear gaiu.
lie recommends au expression of opinion
by the Legislature iu regard to the annexa
tion of Texas to the Uuiou.
"UNION." Under this head the Rich
mond Enquirer writes an article, the senti
ments contained in which we admire, as must
every man who is a democrat for the sake of
demociaiic principles.
The purpoit of the article is, that the En
quirer goes fur the nominee of the National
Convention ; and that it is folly for any de
mocrat to pursue any other course ; thin union
alone cau ensure the succe.-s of the democra
tic priueiples.
He then goes on to say that those loho are
not for us ere against us. Aud that any
man, or number of men, calling themselves
democrats, who will so far forget what is due
to their cause their principles as to say
that unless this man or that man be nominated
by the Convention, I, or we, will not vole, or
w ill vote Ihe whig ticket ; it were better such
man or men abandon the party at once.
Such are our sentiments : If an man is,
or pretends to be so wedded to men has
pinned his faitn to one man's sleeve, and
will be satisfied with none other, and boasts
that if his favorite be not nominated, he will
not be bound by the nomination, let him do
as he pleases if he will kick op and pout
audscilk, because he was not suited, let him
go the quicker we are clear of him the bet
ter; such men uever have been and never
will be any thing but a clog and hinderauce
to any party to which they may attach them
selves. Every man has a right to his opin
ion, and has a right to use his vote as he
pleases, and if he cauuot or will uot vote with
the democratic party, yet professing to be a
democrat, let him go, and vote as he pleases.
We are against coaxing, bribing, or threaten
ing atiy man to act with the democratic party.
If he loves men better lhau principles, he
thereby either betrays his iguorauce or his
cupidity. To be sure, principles are nothing
without honest men to carry them out ; but
where there is, and can be, no dispute about
the capacity, integrity, and high qualifications
of all the candidates for nomination, he that
sets up a plea that he will not vote the demo
cratic ticket unless hU favorite is nominated,
may rest assured that the democratic parly
ttfat is the old soldiers who have fought the
battles of democracy, and have stood firm
since the days of Jefferson, look with indif
ference upon such silly declarations. There
are some such men iu both parties ; aud we
like to see both parties shew them, on all
proper occasions, that they are not of so much
consequence as they think themselves.
Another Convention is to be called iu Geor
gia, to revoke the former appointment of del
egates by General Ticket, to the Baltimore
Democratic Convention, so a3 to send repre
sentatives from Congressional disiricts after
Ife State is apportioned by the preseut Legislature.
Great seizure of valuable smuggled
Goons. Our custom-house officers made a
rich seizure yesterday of valuable jewelry, at
tempted to be smuggled into port. Iu the
moruing, the jacket ship Utica, Capt. Hew.
ett, from Havre, was announced below. The
steamer Hercules went down and towed her
up to the city. Mr D. S. Crane (one of the
inspectors of the custom-house) was in the
Hercules", and went on board the Utica. One
of ihe passengers, be noticed, behaved some
what strange so much so, that he was in
duced to keep his eyes upon him until the
boarding officer came on board, when the
man "was searched; aud watches, jewelry,
and spoons, to a large amount, were conceal
ed in his hoots, pockets, and in various parts
about his person. A Mr Gaiz and wile,
jewellers, of this city, came iu the Utica, as
cabin passengers, and were observed, when
the man was seized, to step into their state
room, which was immediately searched. Au
under-cont, made for Ihe purpose to fit the
lady, was found, with fifty watches handsome
ly quilted iu it, and also a shirt for a gentle
man filled with watches all belonging to Mr
Gatz. Their baggage has been taken care of
by the officers, and will be examined this
morning. N. Y. Courier

Another probable demand upon the
British Government. Under date of the
16th Nov., the Key West correspondent of
the New York Courier says : " At the No
vember term of the Superior Court for the
Southern district of Florida, eight negroes
were indicted for murder and robbery. They
are the same who fled from St. Augustine
some time past with a sail boat. They weut
to Biscaine, Cape Florida, where they remain
ed some time, during which they entered the
house of one Geeren, and in Ihe preseuce of
two children, one 1 0 and the other 6 years old,
took whatever they found aud wanted and
then went away. Mr Geeren, oa his return,
learning what had transpired, took his gun,
pursued the negroes, aud soon after, the chil
dren heard the reports of guns. MrGeeren was
afterwards found dead, having been shot.
But the negroes have arrived safely at Nas
sau. It is the intention of the authorities
here to have them demanded of the British
Government as fugitives from justice. The
nivovp. -Jc-t.-lcd facts. I believe are the sub
stance of w hat was detailed before the Grand
Jury."
Wyman, late president of the Phoenix Bank
of Charlestown, who was convicted a few
days siu.'e of embezzling the funds of that in
stitution, has beeu laid under bonds to the a
mount of -jseOjOOO until his sentence has been
pronounced. In the course of Judge Allen's
charge, says the Boston Post, he was re
minded by Mr Webster that he was mistaken
iu some points of the evidence; whereupou
the Judge replied, "The court cauuot be in
terrupted, sir."
"Aud I will not be misrepresented, may it
please your honor," was responded.
" Sit down, sir," angrily commanded the
court.

ti this Institution during the past year bv the
friends of education generallv, the Principals re
turn their sincere thanks. They hope it may be
deemed worthy to reeeive a still greater amo nit of
patronage than it has hi'herlo done. Mr Vanden
Bers, as Profe-sor of Music, and Mr Wi'coj, as
Instructor in the English Branches and Mathema
tics, are both retained. The charge for Boa d and
Tuition in a'! the English Branches does not ex
ceed $123 00 per annum; and w:th the Extras of
Music amounts only to SI 74. The. next session
opens the 2d Monday in January. At that time it
is highly important that alt who iiitend to become
pupils of the Institution should enter upon their
duties.
