SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1842
(7 We commend ihe admirable Pro
test of President Tyler, on our first page,
to the close attention of our reader. It
appears to us it should be unhesitatingly
admitted by all candid persons, that in
stead of the Federal Whigs having been
successful in their attempt to "head ( ap
tain Tyler," he has triumphantly foiled
and tried his pursuers.
.Adjournment. The Senate and Mouse
of Representative- adjourned to-day about
half after two o'clock. The conclusion of
the session was in keeping with the charac
ter of the Congres. In the Mouse, there
was a quorum scar cely at arty period (hiring
the sitting: and, under these circumstances,
immense sums were voted away, in abso
lute defiance of the Constitution. We
would signalize one instance, to exemplify
the reckles proceedings of this fraction of
a Mouse- On mature deliberation, the
House had reduced the appropriation for
judicial expenses one hundred thousand
dollars. This settled decision of a full
House which had long since been carried
to the account of the promised retrench
ment of Whigery was reversed in the
twinkling of an eye, to-day. One hundred
thousand dollars additional for the judicia
ry was incorporated in a bill making an
appropriation to perfect a treaty with the
Wyandots; and to these unlettered savages
our enlightened judges are indebted for he
great addition made to their means of dis
pensing justice through our land. There
was really no legally constituted Mouse to
vole the money to the Indians or the judg
es; but it is certain that a vast sum was
carried off in their names. We doubt
much whether the Gauls that invaded the
Roman capital, and had the city's ransom
weighed out in the Senate-house, really
carried as much as these Wyandots in their
breech clouts, and our gentlemen of the
long robe. It is questionable, however.
Whether the barbarians of the Far West
will ever know what an exploit they have
achieved, or whe'her their fortunes or our
jurisprudence will be advanced by the ap
propriation. A joint resolution was hurried through,
under the same circumstances, making an
appropriation of six thousand dollars to de
fray the expenses incurred in behalf of
certain prisoners who joined the Texans in
the Santa Fe expedition. Mr. Adams ob
jected that, constitutionally, moneycould
only be appropriated by bill. The Speak
er would not listen to his objection, but
hurried on in putting the question. Mr.
Adams then objected that it was a money
appropriation, and that it could not pass
without being submitted to the Committee
of the Whole; and, by the time he had
shown this to be a flagrant disregrd of Ihe
rule for making an appropriation of money,
he was told Ihe thing was done, and his
admonin'on came too late.
This is btit a sample of the way in
which our Rump Parliament, after the
longest session ever known in this country,
closed its career of the last nine months.
In ninety days it will be back again the
distant members having baiely time to go
to their homes, rest, and return again, to
earn their mileage. The intervals between
the adjournment of the Senate, after Har
rison's inauguration, and the extra session,
and between the extra session and that just
terminated, were only sufficient to enable
this Congress of Whigery to run home, as
it does now, to kiss their wives and chil
dren, and get hick to Washington. Whig
ery (or Coonery,as some call it) may theli
be said to have made the most of its term
of service unless, indeed, they had spent I
the whole time in travelling to and fro. In
this case, the profit to themselves would
have been vastly increase I, and their ex
penses much less, and the advantage of the
nation incalculably promoted.
Yot so unappeasable was the appetite
of this Rump Parliament of Whigery to
ble.s the nation with its legislation, that,
afu.r the hour of adjournment (2 o'clock)
had arrived, no less than four of its promi
nent men rose in their places, and gave
notice that they would, at the next session,
have prepared for the country vast systems,
sufficient each to swallow up all existing
legislation. Mr. Cashing gave notice that
he woyhJJ;j"in reCess a plan of currency
jfu7f fiscal agency, to remedy all defects in
these great essentials. Mr. Wm. Cost John
son followed, in the midst of confusion,
and promised (as we understood) to have
perfected for adoption his scheme to turn
the public domain into scrip, pay the State
debts, and fill the national cotters. Mr.
Pope of Kentucky pledged himself to brine
forwaid his pioject to turn the public lands
inu ua.i& stock mane universal paper
currenc) - and pay the debts of the Slates
so far as contracted for internal improve
ments. Air. Arnold of I euuessee proclaim
ed, amidst a shout of laughter, that he
wouia introduce bill hve hundred and odd
(or, piwUbl;, five hundred and odd bills,)
for cdrtsdef.ition at thg next session. fcVom
this it will be seen that, much as Whigery
has done for ihe country, much remains to
be done; and that there will be no lack of
great measures for the promotion of the
public welfare.
In the Senate, Mr. Bayard of Delaware
undertook the same sort of provision in
advance tor the work of the next session
ft
tte gave notice that he would bring in a
i uavjiiiiioii io expunge me expunging
resolution, and restore the" censure on
President Jackson for the removal ofth
deposites irom the Hank of ihe United
Slates. Asa stockholder and attorney in
that bank one ol its pall bearers in the

well becomes him; ami the time he has
chosen for it will suit well with the char
acter ol the mover and of the party who
are to effect it. The American people will,
by that time, hive put its m irk of reproba
tion on the whole of them at the polls.

SPLENDID PHENOMENON.
Mr Howard: On the night of the 25lh
August, at fifteen minutes after 9 o'clock,
I witnessed at my house one of the most
r.ire and beautiful phenomena in nature
One which I never before saw, of which I
lo not recollect ever to have read any ac
count, and which only one man that 1 hive
seen has ever heard of appearing; and to
him only once during a long lite, spent in
various parts of the world.
When the moon was about three-quarters
of an hour high, and tuning beautifully
clear, there appeared a ivrfect Rainbow in
the west, spanning from one part of the ho
rizon to the other, and forming a complete
semi-circle. 1 he colors were not so bril
liant and disiinct, as if formed by the sun;
but the bow or arch was as perfectly deline-
a'ed as any I ever saw during day, and
was evidently caused in the same way by
the rays of the moon on the falling rain, as
the rays of ihe sun acting on it in the day
would have done. There was but a small
cloud and a slight shower. There appear
ed a few stars beneath the bow, or within
the arch of the bow. It lasted about fif
teen minutes, and gradually disappeared as
the rain increased.

and no greace to put in that; and lived
three weeks on squirrels, and no meat nor

case of a poor Outcast orphan. But now I

I stand arid wdnder sometimes, on the
mount of Corn Neck. When I passed this
creek with an old pad of a bed worth only
six dollars, without a house to put my head
in, only sixteen years old, and weighing
95 pounds, how comes all this? Without
money or a friend, an outcast orphan, to
now command Corn Neck, where rich men
dwelt with fifty ot a hundred negroes. I
stand amazed and wonder, where, and
when, and how, the sdene of my life will
end. Yet the oath and promises of God
are the stay up of my soul, in all his dark
dispensations towards me; more stable
than the Pilot mountain, the Alleghany
Himalaya, or Andes. Will he now for
sake rne, who fed me on coon and squirrels
when a poor orphan? No. never; no, ne
ver; no, never; while he is God. Al
though my farm is deluged with water, he
is my God, and Jesus Christ is my brother;
they will provide in time and eternity for
me. Mere, George, you can see some of
the consolations of the religion of God.

Good news from Corn Neck.
Well, George, old Lawrence is here yet;
the glut has not blown him to the South, nor
the freshet earned him from the mount of
Corn Neck, where he beholds the pleasant
plains and past fertile fields thereof. Yet
my fields, that would have brought ten
barrels of corn to the acre, I now ride in a
cinoe over the tops oi the corn tassels.
All d.tnger is not death when a mm has
God on his side, what has he to fear? For
he has said, lo allay ihe fear of his saints:;
4I will never leave nor forsake you."
Mere, George, you can see carl loads of
ihe finest horse apples, floating to the first
raft they come to. Hire you can see ele
ven stacks of wheat, that grew chin high,
all in wa'er, except the lops. Mere you
can see and hear the calves and sheep bleat
ing, the cows and oxen lowing, for want
of their rich meadows. Mere you can see
hogs confined upon hills, squealing for
want of liberty and range, iieie you can
see a thousand pannelsol fence swept from
their loundation, that have not a rider
thereof been moved in 35 years, exposing
the farm to the ravagesof every depredaior.
Here you can see rabits in gangs, driven
from the low lands to the high noles, lor
security. If you love Juiy raoDa soup,
George, your cup might nave been tilled
to overflowing. And as for spiders,
there are some so large that a numscull
would think they were young ciabs; and as
for grasshoppers, they are here by thous
ands f thousands, of every hue but black;
and for ants and bugs of different de
scriptions, they are here so superabundant,
that ifold Adam was here, who in creation
g;ve names to all the beasts, 1 think it
would puzzle his noddle, and carry him
faraway beyond his vocabulary to give
names to this heterogeneous assemblage of
insects, tint climb the trees, stumps, and
bushes, for safely, by millions who fight
it out until the weaker falls in the water, and
seek o'her refuge.
Here, George, you can stand on the
mount of Corn Neck, and look over its fer
tile plains, and it looks like a Sound a mile
wide. Yet all this is not a pin head to
rne, 'the Lord will provide" "ii is the
Lord, let him do what seeme'h him good."
ihe world is his, and the best of all is, I
can say he is, with an evidence in my heart,

ter, never having been used to such things,
with wonder and amazement, with their
countenances depicting sadness, afier the
toil of a summer's labor, and all their ele
vated hopes laid in the dust.
But the good news from Corn Neck is
simply this: Any thing that has a tenden
cy to humble my pride, self-dependence,
and trust in the riches or honors of this
world, whether it be mercy or judgment, I
consider the greatest good that can befal
me in this life; for the less we love the
world, with less concern can we leave it.

Corn Neck, 25th of Aug. 1S42.
George, I so fully believed, while riding
over ihe tops of the corn tassels for a mile
in ihe canoe, that there would be another
gust, I deferred sending to you the above,
that I might record the effects of the past
and present in your paper, for the benefit
of the present and future generations; for
when I can't live for the benefit of man, let i
me die. For he who lives alone for his'

the parish of Si. Mary, was murdered, on
the 10th inst., by two runaway negroes
whom he had capiured, and was taking
home; One of the murderers was subse
quently killed ih an effort to capture him;
the other was tried, sentenced, and hung
on me leth instant.

higher, but in all the freshets put together
that I have seen for lorty years, I have not
seen half the damage done to the farms on
Fishing Creek, owing to its coming in Ju
ly, when the corn was in its blister. I
have swam over the tops of the corn tas
sels and made as good corn and that in its
ilk as ever I made, heretofore; but the
forwardest gust I ever saw, was the 4th of
August. And I have seen two freshets of
a year, but never, no, never, two gusts in
the same year. This is something I never
saw to my Knowledge before. And thp
cause is, when March and April are with

Melancholy Occurrence. Mr. Bur-
well Pitchford, Sr. was accidentally drown
ed on Wednesday evening the 24lh ult.
while attempting to cross Owen's Creek, a
boutthree and a half miles west of Warren-
ton, on the Road to WiMiamsboro. Owen's
Creek is a small stream and rarely difficult
to cross; but it was very much swollen by
theneavy rains which fell on the night of
the 23rd of August and the day of the
24th, and a deep hole was washed in the
bed of the stream where travellers usually
pass. The body of Mr. Pitchford was not
found until Saturday morning, when it
was discovered by a slave in the water.
The deceased was a useful magistrate and a
good citizen. VVarrtnton Reporter.
