A SPECIAL ELECTION
By reference to another column it will bo seen
that Gov. Pbrter IfsiS issued his proclamation for

exchanges, that Jon*v C. Carter, the mate of the

THU EXTRAORDINARY SESSION,
It 'is time fur the people of the United States to
begin lO’inquire whether they arc to be any longer
consulted, in,the affairs of Government, or whether
they are to be . led blindfold from one measure to
another, until they know not where they are to end.
We have just had a Presidential election, in
which no principle was declared, or any system of
policy, or ally set of measures, was pul in issue by
the victorious party.
Wo have just had a session of Congress,-in
which, during three months, the victorious party
peremptorily refused to show their hand, or to
commit themselves on a sliigle principle, measure,
cc system, or even to indicate the substitute for
the Independent Treasury, which they propose to
repeal.
Wo have just had an inaugural address from the
President clectfthe largest one ever delivered, and
not a word in it to give a glimpse of the course of
the new Administration in relation to a single
question, foreign or domestic, which occupies.the
attention ofthe country.
And now we have n called session of Congress,
involving no less than ten special elections, in
which Die people are not informed what it ip that
they are to vole on at theso elections, or what it is
that their.representativeaare to voteon when they ;
meet together at the extraordinary sccsionin May. .
Truly these are hew scenes in tho history of
our country, andiSuch as distinctly; announce to
the people that they, are to / bc governed and Qdt to
gocern ' that hereafter they are to follm io and hotTo
lead the Government! that submission and acqui
cscehse, passive obedience., and non-resistance, is
to be thelf part in time to cornel
If ever there was an occasion upon earth in
which Dio people ought to have been informed
what the extra session was called for—what the
toil and expense of ten special elections was to be
incurred for—this is the occasion; An election
' without a principle—a session of Congress with
out a declared -measure—an inaugural ' without a
point—and, we may add, a Cabinet without a
committal to any thing) with this chaos of policy
before them, certainly the people were entitled to
know what they were voting: about whcn vqting
forßepresentalives in April, and .whnt'thesc Rep
. resenlativcs would he called, upon todp when they
met together in May, - In a fr e e oounfry, where
liberty of speeyb, liberty' of, the,ptdss, freedom of
voting, With responsibility in the representative,
and the.right of instruction in thecOhijlituent, pre
vails, certainly it was time, in calling • this extra
ordinary session, to lift the veil, to eCash the mys
tery, to,cJuit the ;darkneas, and emit ono ray of
. light, for the informatipn.qfthe people; Nothing
of this has bepn done/ The proclaination.for the
studiously soi upsti pH the object* of Its meeting.

is ail that tlte proclarnulipn says in relation to the
business for .tjhlch' the exfrpordlnary session of
Congress’ is called, Wlmt more vogue and indeh-;
ni te than this? “Sundry important and weighty
- matter?-" Why not namo theml. Why does this
Slate.paper, signcd by President Habbiso.v, and
countersigned by Secretary Webstsu, commence
with the most inaignlfitaht and common.place
word in the English language! confluence yith
the Word with Which a grocer’s account .terminates!
“.Revenue” and 'finances” are tabtologiCal. They
both mean the samO thing.' ’fhey both mean the
annual income—of theVGovernment.
Thei only point stated, then, is the revenue; and
here two inquiries immediately suggest'them
selves to the mind, • Hrslt Are the fiyo millions of
Treasury notes which were granted by the late
Congress, in addition to the accruing revenue, in
sufficient to last the new Administration till Sep
tember, when Congress Could come together with
out inconvenience, and thpcalled session run into
tho stated one, and save half the expense! Sec.
ondly: Is the Treasury to be emptied by a.dijtri
hution bill, and then filled by a tariff bill! . These
arO questions .which, will Occupy the public mind,
but which cannotiind their solutlorilmlil Congress
•meets. • ■ .
We say that the proclamation' is 'studiously
dark on the objects of this called session; and wp
prove it by the contents of a' letter which contains
the internal evidence of its own authenticity.—
The Now York Journal of Commerce contains a
IcttorTfom Washington written the day before the
proclamation—written on the 16th inst.—the proc
lamation beingou the 17th—which says: “The
proclamation for the extra session toill not, as was
supposed, set forth the reasons of the call. I con
jecture that it will speak merely in the format man
ner, of obave Ann weigh■ v matters.’” Hero
the character of the proclamation is disclosed be
fore hand—no reasons to he given to the people-^ -
nothing hut the formality of “grave and weighty
maUcrs?K to be to them. This shows
that there was a consultation about the propriety ,
of giving Yfiasohs—the propriety of letting the peo
ple know what they were called to hold special
flections for, and what Congress was called to
gether in May* for; and that it was determined at
this consultation, to give no such information!—
TSo we go! p *The people called out to volo in tho
dark—-to follow blindfold a Cabinet, and Presi
dent, and a leader in Congress, .whoso principles,
systems and measures are Unknown and unknowa
ble !-—67(/6c, * " *
The Office Seekers”—lt would appear from
the following extract from the Washington letter
of the United States Gazette,., dated March. 20th,
-that the army of office seekers had *not yet been
disbanded: ■ , ' • .• • . .
“Such is the pressure on the various members
of tho Cabinet, that they find themselves continu
ally impeded, in-their efforts to tho busi
ness which
natureof their (folios. alientfonis unavoid
ably kept" in-a state of distraction from matters
which require solemn and absorbing deliberation;,
and it has been found impracticable to acquit
themselves, as they arc Bodulously endeavoring to
do, of the fearful-responsibilities of their several
stations, without regulalihgand limiting thehqnrs
in which applications for.office will bo received,
and other minor and contingent matters permitted
to occupy their .care. Ordinary visits, therefore,
are .only allowed between the hours of twelve and
two, at the State, and Treasury Departments; and
the case is not a solitary one, in which an indi
vidual (not seeking office) r whose business is nbl
connected-wilh' lh'e'public : miereatB, has left tho
city for two or three weeks, intending to return,
and pursue his object, after the-demands on
time of the higher functionaries shall have abated,
if not subsided ehtifely.”
•'The Jersey City Gazelle, a Whig paper, has the
following in reference to Ogle’s speech,' which
wassuch a favorite with the HarriaOnians gener
ally before the election!
IV/rite House Farnilura— The “palace” is said
to be, destitute of oven decent and comfortable fur
niture—Ogle’s' speech to the Contrary notwith
standing. Not having the sin of publishing that
document to lay to our conscience, having no lot
or part in the matter, we Can consistently acquiesce
in whatever proposal is made for providing the
President’s house with respectable fixtures. How
stand our Whig brethren in the premises, and how
will they escape the dilemma in which their ready
endorsement of Ogle’s nonsense has placed them?
“Nonsense” is a mild term, to be sure, to apply
to the outrageous stories thus circulated against
Marlin Van Huron, but still it is something to find
thatdmong the whig press, joumals.are to be found,
which even venture to allude in terms of disappro
bation to Ogle’s inventions. —Fcnnsykdniam
Col. R. M. Johnson.— Not long ago a ridicu
lous story was put in circulation, that Col. John
son had joined the Harrison part}', which, though
promptly contradicted, we observe is still going
the rounds of the federal press. The "following
extract of a letter from Col. Johnson, dated on the
lltli ult. which' originally appeared in Die -N. Y.
Evening Pest, hails Die falsehood to the counter:
“If rumor can make my friends believe that I
have changed or can change my position inpoliticfl,
it.is.very humiliating to me. The rumors of that
-kind cannot be worthy of any thing but the lie di
rect from those who, have a confidence in mo.”
■One Hundred Hollars per day.—-The people of
Pennsylvania should know that the federalists of
the House of Representatives have an inveatiga
ting Committee now in. session, which costs .the
Commonwealth more than' ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS per day; which'committee is to fur
nish means to elect the federal candidate JOHN
BAN KS. The chairman of the committee'lms de
scended to.put ruch trifling questions to a witness
as ‘‘Did you eeer sce him CURRY David li. Far

sion about six weeks, and will undoubtedly sit Dll

A Grandiloquent Humbug,
■Decidedly;one of tlie greatest farces of the ago
has been for some time exhibiting on the public
stage here, under the especial Supervision of o Mr.
Lightner, a federal, nictnbet of 'the lower house
from the. county of. Allegheny, 'rbedtamalis per
softtus consists of a special committee, raised 'on
motion of that gcntleman.Which Xe is, asa matter
of course, the chaifinari. Ostensibly it baa been,
“got up,” for tbo purpose of “investigating the
condoctbf.the. canal commissioners, ’’ but in reali
ty , to iqanufacture POLITICAL- CAPITAL in
the coming campaign for John Banks—and this,
too. if it cannotptherwise b« dpne, opon the ruins
of genflemeniwhosa moral andpolitioal reputation
is as imshllird as that of ; ahy other gehdetneh in
{hecommonwealth.' ‘ According.; th'tho coda of.
ethics adopted'&y' the purs and immaculdlt Mr.
Lightner, it is perfectly immaterial, whether the
fairfameof thesopSloersbe ibhUraadlyaacrifiijed,
prhoUebthatsoroepreleXifoT the cryof ‘•ciange’’
can be created. With' Whi, “tho ewf justifies the
meOni,” and tbs canal commisaionets may be
slaughtered without compunction, if it only sub
serfrcs: the polilical purpo'seS of their enemies.
[ idonstimmate this die-
helical project, an. entire;regiment ,of witnesses
has been summoned hither from distant parts of
the elate, who in, nineteen, cases but of’ twenty,
upon examination, know not ono syllablo on 1 tl\o
subject', either pro or eon, and are again unceremo
niously dismissed. .The utmost ingenuity of the
Chairman is however taxed, to elicit something,
upon which to predicate charges of peculation,
and not bnfrcqnehtly his interrogatories are in.
clear violation of. every principle of law and com
mbn sense. Take the following for example: ’
Question by Mr. Lighintr .“Did you not, sir,
“hear Tom, Williams say, that he heard Charley
•‘Penrose declare, that Sabi Barclaysaid, that

•‘John Stonebreaker alleged, that Sam Sturgeon,
“confessed; that Peg Beatty told her yellow bby
“John in a public bar-room at LoWlstown—that
“Bill Packer was no belter thanheshouldbe?"
It is by questions such,as these—heqr-say evi
dence, derived through the.forty-second channel—
which an'impartial tribunal would scout at as
INFAMOUS in the extreme—that this investiga
ting committee expect to arraign the present able
and unimpeachable board of canal commissioners
before the people.. Oh! shame Where is thy blush!
All that will como out of it, however,'will be, that
the state will bo saddleT.wilh an expense of some-
FIFTEEN or TWENTY THOUSAND DOL
LARS, and that Mr. Lightner will get some of
thb federal editors to puff him as a wonderful re
former ! This,,we predict, will bo the "upshot” of
the whole matter.— Yeoman,

it fojr some timo'to; come. Some informality or
mistake Occurred in drawing the Jury, and the
case is.held over for the present, or at least until
a,special centre can issue, and a new Jury attend.'
The Federal Papers and the ' Inaugural.
Almost every place that we hoar from, the Fed
eral editors and leaders looked upon the Inaugural
address of President Harrison '.'when it was v first
received as a hoax. There is not much wonder in
'this, for tlrdy had flattered themselves thatit-was
to bo-something extraordinary—and so it is—but
not in the wny.they supposed, -It is extraordinary,
for its length-extraordinary for* its silly'bombast
aSdi'cgptismrrieXUaordinaty' for its clumsy;, awjk
ward,and r untheaniri|; Rocienfrhisjturyj
having no bearing parallel to the cases wi th which
they were compared—extradrdinary . because it
proposes nothing for the consideration of the peo
pte. nor any measures for their relief from the pe
’cuniary embarrassments with which they are sur
rounded, and which were to bp swept .away as
with th<? wand of the magician. No wonder, then,
that his friends considered it a hoax, for they wore
hoaxed moat egregioualy, when they believed, or
pretended to believe, that Gen. Harrison was a
man of statesman-like talents, - capable of produ
cing a document creditable to the nation and the
station-lie occupies. - All who believed this warm
hoaxed, arid we verily believe that many now wish
that the apnunciation of his election bad been d
hoax rather than .reality, l.vni the venerable
editor of tire Cincinnati Advertiser, the biographer
of Gen. Harrison, though an opponent, could not
believe the document to be genuine, so far was its
stylo and character below what he hud expected.
We predict that Harrison’s supporters are not-yet
done being hoaxed. Ho will, if life and health bo
spared l him, we fear, not hoax them only, but the
whole country, before his four years expire, to
such an extent, that a.few years hopce there will
be none possessed of hardihood enough to avow
that they were Harrison men.'— Canton (O.) J)cm.
The Inaugural Address agotn.—Wo make tho
following additional extracts from our exchanges,
to show the estimate pul upon the inaugural by
some of those editors who ranked among*lho
friends of the present Executive.’
Speaking of the address, the New York Herald,
a Whig paper, says:
“The address is,one of the most unevenly com
posed and written documents that ever came from
the brain or pen of a . public .functionary; Parts
of it ate most excellent, and other parts most
trashy. The best parts of it contain some of the
soundest and purest doctrines that were ever con
ceived; but they aro hard, very hard to live up to.
Many other parts are unworthy the tyro' at college
on his first attempt at composition.-
The nonsense about “an exclusive metallic cur-’
Tenoy,” is a crotchcl of hia own brain; a sort of a
shuttlecock which he stuck up and knocked down
for amusement three times m ono paragraph. The
remarks about the District of Columbia are misera
bly Written; the sentences are involved, complica
ted, nnd tortuous; they may be construed to mean*
any thing of nothing.*" The balderdash abont.Oliver
Cromwell,([Cesar, and Bolivar, will ejevate the.
.President in the eyes of no'one. He does not un
derstand the character of either. The clumsy al
lusions to Greece and Home repeated again and a
gnin, may be thoughtolassie by some, but it would
As to the statement about .no republic ever merg
ing into fin'oristocracy; Gen. Harrison ought to
have read the history of Venice, and one or two
republics we could ;itarae, before he made the.
sweeping assertions we find in his message.
Tho miserable', mannerin-which-the. subject of
abolition, and especially the subject of our foreign
relations .are slurred oyer, is sofficient to stamp.the
inaugural with reproach from all,'
The- Philadelphia, Ledgef;-;a paper,-neutral in
politicsi holds the/ollowing portinont languago:
, “The currency -is entered .into. The
idea of an exclusively motallio currency }he con,
eiders to be fraught with the ippst, fatal
qiiences. If there better

things so much deproealed by all inis republicans,
by'which the. rich are daily adding lo their hoards;

great outcry about the bloodhounds which they
said Mr. Van Buren had obtained to hunt , worry

ted that when Gen. Call was in Philadelphia last
year, speech-making for Harrison, he stated he
was the man who brought over the hloodlioDHdsy

had nothing to_dp .with it. Now General Har

Mr. Saudekson:— l have read with astonish*
ment nn advertisement in your paper, hi which
a certain JOSEPH OTTO, has published me aa
a Runaway Apprentice. With your permission.
I embrace the same medium of informing the
public of the true state of the case. 1 ackrow*
ledge I was with him in the capacity of an ap»
for about eleven months—but at the
expiration of that, time; finding it altogether im
possible; according to the bargain which we had,
to serve him any longer, J asked liberty of him
to obtain my freedom, which he accordingly
granted in the presence of witness. He has now.
taken the privilege of advertising me ns having
absconded, which is done for the purpose of
slandering my. character—and, as I observed
before, I wish you to publish this, in order tcj,Ut
the public know that the raid OTTO has pub
lished a complete falsehood against me.
