fyWe are indebted to the Rep
resentative in Congress from this dis
trict for pamphlet copies of "An ex
position of Evidence in support of
the Memorial to Congress, " prepared
in pursuance of instructions from the
permanent committee appointed by
the Free Trade Convention assembled
at Philadelphia, by Henry Lee, of
Massachusetts, one of the committee
and Mr. MeDuffie's Report to "Re
duce duties on Imports, &c." The
length of these interesting documents
precludes their introduction into our
columns, but they are at the service
of any of our readers who feel incli
ned to peruse them.
Congress. We omit our Congres

to give
articles
which will be found in the preceding
columns. In the Senate, Mr. lay's
Tariff resolution is still under consi
deration. The House of Representa
tives passed the Apportionment bill
on the I6lh inst. by a vote of 130 lo
5S the ratio is fixed at 47,700, which
gives the House 240 members, and
leaves this State with its present rep
resentation and a fraction of 19,647.
Washington's Remains... The con
templated removal of the remains of
Washington, with those ot his wile,
by Congress at the Centennial Cele
bration, has been defeated by the refu
sal of the consent of Mr. John A.
Washington, his grand nephew and
present proprietor of Mount Vernon.
The measure was warmly opposed by
several members of both Houses of
Congress, and the Legislature of Vir

on the nomination of Mr. Van Buren.
Mr. Mangu ni's speech has not been

"in which he is understood lo have
declared that he did not approve the
tone and tenor of the Instructions lo
Mr. McLane, but that he saw noth

the nomination."
pThe last U. S. Telegraph con
tains a correspondence between the
lion. George Poindexter and several
of the NewYork members of Con
gress, relative to the offensive article
which appeared in the New-York
Courier and Enquirer, and which call
ed forth the "Card" issued by Messrs.
Poindexter and Moore. The corres
pondence terminated amicably with
the exception of Mr, Hoffman, of
whom Mr. Poindexter demanded
"personal satisfaction," but Mr. II.
assigned "sufficient reasons," as he
said, for not accepting the challenge,
and declining all further correspon
dence. Also, an Address to the Public, by
the Hon. C. A. Wickliffe, relative to
the assemblage of a few members of
Congress in the room of Judge Dibb,
in March, 1830. This address refers
to several statements made in the
Globe, and in Maj. Eaton's publica-

Quarrch of Editors. In the
spring of 1330, it will bo recol
lected, Mr. Webb, of the New
York Courier and Enquirer,
made a visit to the scat of gov
ernment, for the purpose, ns he
previously declared, of inflict
ing personal chastisement on
Gen. Green, of the Telegraph.
An interview took place, but
before the uplifted cane could
descend upon bis victim, Webb's
attention was arrested by a
"double barrelled, percussion
mahogany stocked pistol" pre
sented bv Green thus ended
that affair. L.The combat has
lately been renewed, Mr. Webb
having again visited Washing
ton with a determination "to
push the papers" al his old ad
versary. Accordingly, on the
Gth instant, he addressed a note
to Green, requiring an explana
tion the note was borne by a
Mr. Burrell, who, having stated
to Green that "ho stood in
Webb's shoes," received a cow
hiding at the hands of the Gen
oral. J Burrell and Webb have
published handbills, and so
ends this second affair.
This last visit of Mr. Webb
appears a very unfortunate one;
besides getting his friend
cowhided, he has been arrested
by the Marshal of the District
of Columbia, at the instance of
Mr. Clement, an ex-editor, for
a libel contained in the same ar

COMMUNICATED.
Departed this life, on Monday, the
20th inst. in the 20!h year of her age,
Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Charles
W. Knight, Esq. of this county.
Miss E. was a young woman of an
amiable disposition; all who knew
her esteemed her, for in her was
combined all that is lovely and of
good report. Her parent beheld with
delight the child of promise her
youthful friends saw much lo exeiie
their hopes but they were soon re
minded of the fragility of human life.
"As for man, his
a ays are as crass.
As tne flower of the field so he flou
rishelh, for the wind passeth over it,
and it is gone, and the place thereof
shall know it no more." Her earth
ly and moral course was short, but
triumphant of her doubtless it was
said, "Enter thou into the jov of thy
Lord."
Is Elizabeth dead? O no, that cannot be,
Her soul is stamp'd with immortality;
Death could not harm that lovely, gentle
maid,
Although her body low in dust he's laid.
The mansion fell the prisoner took, her
fliRht,
To ioin the ransom d in the realms of
light.
Then cease, ye weeping friends dry up
your tears,
Assuage your griefs, dispel your gloomy
fears;
Though Elizabeth could no longer here
remain,
Your momentary loss is her eternal gain
Did she not cheerfully resign her breath?
Did she not triumph o'er the power of
death?
Did she not lean on Jesus staff and rod
Pass the dark vale in presence of her
God?
Tho now corrupt in dust her body lies,
In incorruption Christ will bid it rise.
And sure as late it heaed the mortal
groan,
nicss'd immcrtalitv it shall put on
And with the deathless soul mount up on
high,
To live with Christ to live no more to
die. W..
