In which, White, the Candidate for Confess, obtained' 3802, votes, and Leonard, the Lo- coloco,but 1757 so that the Whig Candidate is elected by a majority of 2045.

Jv;,... But another instance, which hasplaced the prinei I pies of Mr. Van Buren beyond all dispute, is the re- cent outrage upon the rights and principles of the South, in admitting negro testimony in the- case of Umt. Hpoc. Here we see one of Virginia's noblest sons an Uihcer in the American Navy who, animated by a- ' tic heal th, and thrown himself upon the broad bosom: of the stormy ocean, to brave its perils and to m set its dangers, to protect our commerce and our national hon- or-kagged from hi high and lofty , station, by the; minions of the President and of nower. and nnnvictwl tbJ evidenCT? of negroeS,and they the servants of If,' t . vw .w n.ai, jnuiuiw Court y ba. ie pampercu minions of Executive pat- ronage, knowing well the principles -of their master and .willing to sacrifice Lieut, llooe to strengthen the Cause, of-Van Buren, by gaining the favour and sup. Ipit ofJh&Abolitianists, by-this daring Abolition act overruled his objections admitted ' the testimony J- and he was condemned. He therefore appealed to the President, "that Northern.man ,with. Southern feel :ngs, tor tne justice wuicn had. been denied him. Lieut, Hooe directed the particular attention of the President to the evidence which had been given,- and the objections which had beu made ; and received for answer, an 'insist to his outraged feelings, and an. ap proval of pic evidence of the negroes. 5 In order to rkl themselves , of this odious crime, and ttf shield their favourite from the charge of befng fa- lowers nay; that the decision of the case turned not up on the evidence of the negroes. Then let me ask, why not spare the honor of an American Officer, and set aside this illegal evidence 1 Miserable subterfuge! But do we need stronger proof that Martin Van Bu ren is favourable to th& admission of Negro evidence, against a white man 1 If we do, then listen to the doctrine advocated by his prime minister, Amos Ken dall. In the 4th No. of the Extra Globe, from an edi torial article, I copy the following extract, in which he advocates the propriety of negro evidence : '.u " The employment of free blacks, and other colored .ft s N .g existence. anj tne reagorIS which induced Congress and the Courts to admit the testimony of these colored sailors, in trials for offences on shipboard, must.be ,biious:to every reflecting mind, were they debarred from giving n on Court3 Mar, it ;s easv predict the consequences, both to the guilty and the innocent vh mav be accused of the commission of crimes. We have been toldby an old and experienced , Officer of the Navy, that, in southern latitudes, it was his cus tom to have two boats crews, one composed exclusive ly of blaeks, who were employed on occasions where exposure to the heat and sun would have been danger ous to white men. Suppose that while absent from ip.engageu m watering, or m any otner pursuit, ""euce, nowever aggiavaieu., ele cumumuru uy an nr " cnarge oi me party, m tne presence oi no .other witnesses than these blacks, ana tne omcer brought to a Court Martial on board the ship to which bet belonged.

Mr. Editor,: Knowing your anxiety to. hear of the progress of our cause, I take pleasure in letting you know that it is -brightenra daily. The true Democracy are up and doing:. There never was a nobler spirit animated any people than is manifested by the-Whigs here. They have become fully aroused within he last three weeks, which we may thank Afessrs. Montgomery and ilaWkin whose circular has been -sent to every part 4f the adjoining counties , I am glad to see that the Whigs iid not let it pass unnoticed, but met it in the boldest spirit of patriotism, Which should reflect the highest credit on the intelligent fireemenof this distridt I have for the last ten vears seen' manv conrmunica- tions from., different partizans, but never before did I sec any thing so garbled and so untrue. T cannot be lieve that Gen2 Hawkins' examined it with that care that he-ought to bayj dpne. I have oo good'an opin ion of him to think that he would deliberately endorse What heknew to contain a falsehood, aiid, on reflec tion, I am sure he will explain the circumstances un der which he was so grossly deceived He has always stood high with the Whigs of this district as a gentleman of honour and independence and for his own reputation, should not abuse that standing merely to advance his party. As to Mont gomery, poor dastard, he was before loo low to be in jured, I am Certain no one was surprised who knew the man ; perhaps he was incited by the burning cheek and the ignominious disgrace rightly inflicted upon him by his talented and manly colleague. On, Rayncr, oil, expose the dark deeds of " the Rogues and Royalists' and defend your personal rights. The Federal Tories are making every effort to de ceive the people, but al! in vain., Granville is sound to the core. Our opponents are greatly alarmed at the extravagance of Mr. Van Buren, with, his " artificial flowers, French Bedsteads," and the like. The honest people are beginning to find out that he is a Democrat only in theory, and the friend of negroes, since he has sanctioned their testimony against a white man. I am in hopes you will keep us advised upon these mat ers. , i From what I can learn, those beautiful Loco Focos in Warren will be fully accommodated to their heart's content in the betting line. The Whigs have only to " take them up" a few times, when they wilt show their "hack feathers' very soon, I would suggest the propriety of holding a Convention in each of the Electoral.Districts in this state, and a General Conven tion in Raleigh on the 5th of October next, the anni versary of the battle of the Thames. What do you think of the suggestion! Yours respectfully, A. B. CONGRESS. r EDITOR. S CORRESPONDENCE. Washisotok, July 18. In the Senate, yesterday, the principal subject dL cussed was the Army Appropriation Bill. A bill was ako introduced and passed, appropriating $25,000 to explore and survey the North-Eastern Boundary of the United States, and a 'Resolution instiucting the Committee of Finance to enquire into the expediency of making an appropriation for holding a Council with the Miami Indians for the purchase of Reserves held by them in Indiana. A, memorial was also prc- I sented from the Presidents of the District Banks,pray- ing for the continuation of their banking powers, on condition, of their making specie payments,, which was referred to the District,Committee. ' Another object also engaged their attention, viz : ( The bill for altering the charter of he City of "Wash ington, and abrogating- the late City Election, and providing tkat no enrolment of citizens shall be here after made, or register kept of votos. The bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. A joint Resolution was also passed for exchanging extra books in the Congress Library for Foreign books. When I closed my letter giving you an account of tbe proceedings of the House of Representatives on Thursday, the Clerk had not finished the reading of the! minority Report on the New Jersey Election case. The report of the majority concludes with a reso lution declaring that the Jive pretenders from New Jersey had received a majority of the legal rotes giv en at the election, and that they were therefore enti tled to their seats as Representatives of that Slate The . minority report is a. powerful paper clear, closely and vigorously reasoned, irriesistable in its con clusions, and distinguished by energy and spirit of evnression. It lashes the jnaibritv of the committee, r , ; who have succeeded in bringing the pretenders into '. seats which, of right, belong to others, with merited severity, and animadverts with great lorce ana euect on their conduct. So keenly did the Chairman and majority feel the flagellation, that the Chairman (Mr. Campbell) rose, ami" modified his motion to print both the reports, so as to confine it to the majority -report alone. But the previous question having been alrea dy ordered to be printed by the. aid of the Opposition votes, when it extended to both reports ; and hav ing thus eutfE all debate, Mr. Campbell moved to change the form of the very proposition on which the House had directed the previous question. Tiiis ex traordinary course produced a great sensation in the House, and many members openly expressed their 'sentiments' concerning the trick of getting the previ ous question on one particular proposition, and thus , jaltcring it so essentially ! . ; . A motion was instantly made to reconsider tbe vote by which the previous question was ordered ; but the Federal Loco Focos refused to reconsider. . v Several members took occasion to denounce this whole proceeding as a delusion a fraud. Great ex cftement -prevailed, and there was every appearance uf another row coming on The refusal to print the minority report was, how-'ftvw-. too treat an oiUraere to be carried but ; and, af- ter ordering the majority report to be prjnted, the mo tioh" Xo print the minority Tepoet was f decided upon separately - These proceedings on the printing question was no sooner finished, than Mr. Jamieson, oi Missouri, mov ed that tbe resolution declaring Mr. Dickerson and and his Federal Loco Foco associate pretenders enti-1 tleil lo-thr seatsbe adopted ; and oo this motion he demanded the previotts question. ' Here was another outrage calling on members to vote directly " yedr ot u hay,rm. a proposition in re gard-to which the. evidence had . not been read, nor subtoritted to them, c lt.waa "protested against, hut ui vMrfcThe Federal t3co Focos suslainedHte demand for "the orevious duestion. The debate was thus cut off, fend thflf EistiojLWaspHtf on adopting tho evolu tion. . - ' "J . -V' ' . A considerable number of the friends of the Con-. stitutiortancf the law, among them several of the most distinguished men in the House, successively asked to' be excused irom voung. Buveral of them presented this glaring outrage , in such a light as! Cannot fail to produce a deep sentiment of reprobation,throughout the coantry. ; ; fiS These geidlemen was not excused; but when the question w.a4jnt,.p.nry.ten ort.VeIve ot the opposi tion membera. o'ted. In the HouSe of Representatives, yesterday, the chief subject of consideration was the annuaf Indian Appropriation bill. - " . Mr. Graham,-froii your State, . made a complaiut that his .name had bein used for the mirpOjse- of frank ing copies of J)r. Duican's Loco v Foco-i; Speeches to his (Mr. G's) constituents. In.snpport of'his com plaint, lie read a paragraph frdm a paper prrated at AshevUlajn his distrat, entitled "The Highland Messenger," stating tiiaUevcral packages containing copies of the iibove mehtioned speeches u'i''W :his i'rank, had come Jo. the Pjt Office there, which had been either forged, or packets franked by Mr. G. had been broken open, and I'r. Duncan's 'speeches put in them, instead of what they originally contained. Mr, G. deemed it necessary tVjs publicly to declare, that all such packages or letters, under his frank, were ei ther foul frauds,. or base forgerisijvy . Wiyoo5jJulY '20. In the Senate, on Saturday,'the hitt to alter and continue tli charter of the City of Washington, be ing read the third time, Mr. Norvell remarked, that a portion of the bill had been accidentally omitted, and desired that it miaht be supplied. Mr. Merrick said he should not object, but remarked on the great hast with which this bill had been pressed, in spite of the earnest remonstrances of himself and others. Mr Clay, of Alabama, observed, that there was no time to perfect the bill at present, and desired it might be laid-.on.the table. Mr. Davis expressed the same opin ion, and it was, at length, so ordered. On motion of Mr. Merrick, the joint resolution to cede, on certain conditions, the Stock of the United States in the Qhesapeak and Ohio Canal, to the State of Maryland, ras- taken up. After some debate, the resolution was agreed, to, and ordered to be engrossed, and was afterwards read a third time and passtd. On "motion of the, same gentleman, the Senate then took up the jint resolution, which had hcen ordered to a second reading chartering the Banks of the Dis trict for one year, on condition- of their paying specie, &c, which, after iebate, was ordered to a third read ing 21 vote to li The House bilj. making appropriations' for the In dian Departmentjiwas taken up, read three timesr and passed without smendmect. In the Hous of Representatives, the bill appropri ating $25,000 tr the expenses of the exploration and survey of the IJorth-Eastern boundary of the United States, was rlad the third time, passed, and sent to the Senate, j The amendments of the Senate to the Navy Ap propriation bill jvere taken'np and concurred with,.
