: THE NEW CONGRESS.
The wbole country looks to the next Congress, for
some measures of relief from the evils which Van Rn.
renism has. inflicted upon our land. The ability of
the Administration to carry out its policy depends up
on the Whig strength. The E lections are nearly over,
and a pretty fair guess may now be made as to the
relative strength of parties. In the Senate of the Uni
ted States, the Whig majority will be eight. In the
House of Representatives, at the Extra Session, the
state of parties will not vary more than a vote or two
from the following schedule : -.

It will be seen that the Administration majority will
be about 60, the largest majority, we believe, any-par
ty ever had in the House of Representatives.. - Illinois
and Mississippi will not be represented-at the Extra
.Session, the Governors of those States declining tocall
the Legislature together to appoint a special day ibr
electing Members. In the above estimate, Mr. Huk

PROGRESS OF TRlfTH.
The brilliant Whig victories which have recently
been achieved, another of which we chronicle to-day,
snow tne resistless progress ot l ruth, wnen it once
gets fairly started in its course.-' The ranks of the Op
position are thinning apace, because the People are
convinced, that the vigorous measures of the Adminis
tration, and the steady, course of Reform determined
on by the Executive, are absolutely essential to the
: lasting Interests of the Country. ;
Go on gallant Whigs, and never let bur- organiza
tion and vigilance cease, whilst Loco Focoiwn, under
any name, or in any shape, rears its Gorgon head in
any part of our Country.

A few days since, Capt. Taylor made a full and
successful experiment of. bis under water operations,
before President . Tyler, the Heads of Departments
and others, and blew up a large and heavy scow
sky high,' literally tearing it into ten thousand frag
ments, agitating the deep, and calling up its founda
tions on . the surface of the water. . There was no
mistake and mishap. vThe fragments, were thrown
fifty feet into the air, many of them falling more than
iw yatds from the position of the scow. .... It was

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
V We are not able this week, to give current
and full returns from all the Counties in this
Congressional District. Enough, ; however,
is known here to enable us to say, that Mr.
Graham is elected by a large majority over
his opponent, Mr. T. L. Clingman. We give
below, full returns from Rutherford and
Burke. ; Graham's . majority in these two
Counties, over Mr. Clingman is 1059. We,
have further intelligence from' Buncombe,
Henderson, Haywood and Macon, and though
not official, may be regarded as correct,
whichicpnsiderably increases Graham ma
jority as already reported, which will make
it nearly 1500 votes. rN -
Various opinions are entertained as to
what would have been the result.orovided the
election had come on at the usual time. and
there had been a ffeneral turn out through

The Richmond Enquirer and its village

deavoring, by bint and innuendo, to create
the impression abroad that'Gov. Gilmer ac-
knowledgeS some affinities with, the party gued that the motion to discharge the Pris
scbemes of the self-styled Democratic Parly ; oner was the subject before the Court. The
and even go so far as to claim his recent Court decided that the'question of jurisdic-

this shallow attempt to seduce that gentle -

more seasonable when they see any signs of
disaffection on his part to those great repub
lican principles, the maintenance and ' cor

sonal merit, have won for the Governor the
high public consideration and the elevated
political position which it has been his good
fortune to .attain. ,

The New Orleans papers of the 10th inst.

in court on the 8th, which must have been
thrilling in the extreme. An individual
named George A. Hamilton had some days
before been convicted of forgery. When
called ,up to, be sentenced, the usual . ques
tion was asked, as to what he had to say be
fore sentence should be passed. To this he
replied in an address of an hour in length,
in which hd endeavored to show that he was
the victim of a conspiracy, and that he was
entirely innocenf of the charge. The Judge

then sentenced him four years to the peni-

maii exclaimed, He has a knife in his
hand,' and, before he could be prevented he
plunged it into himself in two places, once
in. the abdomen and once in the region of

followed by his wife, who had sat -by him

TRIAL OF McrlTEOD:
The trial of MtfLfcoD is the most interest
ing and exciting erent now goingjon in the
City. The: Supreme Court was thronged
this morning to suffocation to hear what I

mainsl ne Judges, and the Attorney Uen
eral in behalfof the State, were there soon
afterClOfMiv Bradley; as one of the Coun
sel for the Prisoner was first heard.' Mr. B.
stated that the Frison.er.V33 in custody un
der an order bf ' the Cfdart of Ojer and Ter-
miner, and by arraignment in an indictment
for murder" and further, under a writ of eo
pias respondendum for entering the i State of
Ne w. York and destroying the steamer' Caro
line, laying the damages at $50,000, and
holding the Prisoner: at bail in the sum of
$7,000.- The return of the Sheriff having
been read, the affidavit of McLeod followed,
the most important paper before the Court. 1
mt r . --r" r , it- 1
The Prisoner first grounds his defence upoa
the fact that the expedition against the Car
oline was made by order of the commanding
officer upon the British side'; that the Caro
line was a piratical vessel : that upon the
morning prior to the evening of her destruc
tion she crossed the river several times aid
ing the insurgents.; that her destruction was
a matter of self-defence ; that the matter was
altogether national, as proved by the corres-
pondence between the British and American
authorities ; that the United States regarded
it in this liht whn irfinaration waalouirht
- ?r. " -
in England for property destroyed ; that it
had since been avowed by the British Gov
ernment ; that, having been so regarded by
both Governments, the Prisoner should be
discharged. These are the important points
set forth in the affidavit ; but the strong one
comes in conclusion, where McLeod states
that he took no part in the expedition against
the Caroline, or in the murder of Durfec, the
person killed on- board the Steamer.
The statements put; forth in the affidavit
were sustained by the counsel for the .Pris
oner by the reading of letters from the dif
ferent authorities in Canada to the British
Minister, and by other kinds of evidence
considered equally authentic. The defence
closed here for the day, when " the People
of the State of New York" wre heard thro
the Attorney Generaland his assistant, Mr.
Wood, the District Attorney of INiagara. .
Mr. Wood contended that the evidence
given was not sufficient to discharge the Pri
soner, because the Caroline belonged to the
United States, and was not connected with
the insurgents ; because neither theGovern-
ment of Unner Canada nor Col. McNahb had
anv newer to fitoutari exnedition to destrov
a vessel in the United States : beeause the
Guilty," and that the Court here cannot in-
vestigate the truth of such indictment. The
position of the State counsel having been
heard, the Attorney General contended very
briefly, that the .first question of the Court
was the preliminary one as to the right of ju-
risdiction. The opposing counsel briefly ar-
tion involved tJfe merits of the case, and that
it would be necessarv to eo into a full exam-
1 ination of all the testimony. The Attorney
uenerai was not prepared lor tne argument
and, asking for further time, the Court ad-
journed until to-morrow, at ten o'clock.
