, Tuesday, the lath, was the clay fixed by

Pennsylvania. Col. John W. ForneY is the
candivate of the Democracy for that position.
Mr. Forney is en eloquent and logical 'advo-
Cate of sound Democratic principle,, and his
nomination by the Democratic . caucus will
give, we apprehend, satisfaction , to the party,
' . whose faithful and efficient chap \ pion he has
been, We notice The Senate ha. refused to
• considertho resolution to - c44,? into joint ballot

This procerding is clearly revolutionary, and
should be disc)tintenanced by all parties.—

Bribery in Congress.
In . the House of Representatives on the oth
inst., a member from New York called_ at
tention to an editorial that had appeared in
tEe:N..Y. - Time.s,. charging that efforts:had
been made to procure the passage Of' the
Minnesota Land Bill, through the agency of
bribery. Mr. Payne, a member from North
Carolina, intimated ; that tlt charge was true,
and stated that he had been offered a large
sum, of money to vote fur: said Dill. A' reso- -
!titian W'AS.submittld for the appointment of
a committee,withpower to send for persons
and papers to investigate the charge ; which
; •
resolution passed unanimously. The investi

show a condition of things at. Washington

Whitfield and_ Reeder again.
When Mr. Whitfield was admitted to- n

it wtts natural mid reasonable to suppoie That
the agitators would permit him -to occupy it
in Pence. . But such is not the case. an Sat

the black republican House toted against
Iteeder's claim to a seat, and we cannot dis•
cover-that anything has occurred since to
strengthen that claim. The niay 0 1 . , ject of
the petition is to afford an opportunity for
the black republican members to treat the

The United States Expedition to the
• Eire! , La Plata. •
- We have received the preliminary report of
Capt. Page, who commanded the United
States steamer Water Witch, and by order of
the Gorernment, made an extended and very
successful exploration of this important river.
The attention of the Gevernosont ofebi3 U.
States Lae, only*Within a comparatively few
years, been properly directed to the value of
explorations and geographical investigation
with reference to the increasing and now
vast commerce of our country. This descrip
tion of operations has long been held to be of
the most vital importance, by the powers of
Europe, and in no inconsiderable measure,
the wealth and commercial ascendency of
Great Britain . aro to be traced to this policy.
From the time of Capt. Cook, and even to
data from a previous era to the present day,
the naval explorations Made under the aus•
pices of the British Government have been of
the most extensive character, and ba'vo been
made in almost all parts of the world. Peo
ple, liefore almost unknown to civilized men,
have been visited, treaties entered into, and
i.ew markets opened for commercial enteprise,
and a high and perhaps the most lasting fame
has been awarded by the whole world, for those
minions: of peace and amity. The reader of
the voyages of Drake and Cook, of Wilkes or
Perry, of Ross or Franklin, will not feel his
interest at all lessened by the consideration
that thew were arsstntially rtimMerthai in their
objects and . consequences.
The Uuited States has cot been behind oth
er-nations in this impOrtant Auxiliary to the
march of civilization.. Numerous expeditions
have been organized and have .completed
their proposed business with e great success,
and have. added lustre to the National char
acter. With a vast extent of preciously un
explored territory, these explorations have ne
cessarily been for much the , greater part, per
formed by land expeditions. But the naval
department has been by no means idle, and
one of the most important of services of this
description, to which wewilude, has just been
completed by the squadron under command
of Capt. Page.
,The River La Plata and its tributaries,
amongst which is the river Parana, were thor
oughly explored and surveyed, and were as
cended to the astonishing distance of 2;000
miles from 'the ocean. The entire countries
on their banks in.-.lu,iies the hithcitv little
known and almost misterioussvuntry of Par
aguay, were completely explored and a synop
riis Of their commerce and resources is given
in the present report. When we remind our
readers that among, the products of those
countries are classed many of.the richest pro
ducts of the n3ine—many of the most itnpdr
rant of tire medicines known, that. they abound
in cattle to such an amazing extent as to be
almost, capable of furnishing the entire world
with material for the currier and the
indis
pensable products of his art; that a vast
number of woods rarely seen as yet by the
cabinet maker, are produced abundantly in
those *forest., that in short all the inducements
to commercial intercouse and most valuable
accessories to the good of society are to be
found in the countries visited, the importance
of this expedition • and its probable results
may be e , tirnated.
T he tea of esz Civil., or
diet in all the countries of South America, is
no* attracting much attention in Europe,
and eery probably will become an article of
t l extensive exporiation.. From the city of As
cension alouelit is exported mainly to other
States of South America largely, the Val
ue in' 1854 reaching t 252,489. The com
mercial investigations by Capt. Pages' expe
dition, are 'irf the most valuable description.
In geographical science and - matters of
general interest, this expedition has also pro
duced a vast accession of information. For
the first time, accurate surveys were made,
and the vourees of rivers and positions ,of
towns, in some cases containing large pope
-1 lations, carefully ascertained. The climate,
1 customs of the people, diseases, in fact, no
1 matter of general interest has been neglected.
No less than sixty-six medical plants, used
by the people of Paraguay, were obtained
and- brought home in safety. The superior
quality of the tobacco grown in those count
tries is alluded to.
; 4.104 information was obtained relating to
the curions and almost unknown tribes of
•Aborigines which inhabit the countries of
the interior of South America.' Twice the
expedition was attacked' by hostile Indians,
fighting on horseback, armed with spears.----
Large collections in •natural history were se
cured and brought borne in safety.
We hope to see the very Lnportant results
of this expedition published at an early peri
red by the authority of the United States,and
venture to say that such a contribution to
commercial, geographical and general infor-
Mation wilt bare very rarely been made by
any government. e

levis reatnouse, of Fayette. The Speaker
and Clerk took their seats. 'At this time Mr.
Bridges, the clerk of-the former House, made
his rppearance and declared himself the pre
siding officer of the Rouse until it was regu
larly organized, and protested against the pro
ceedings orthe members in electing a Speak
erand other officers. The members paid very
little attention:to 'Lin:lL—inasmuch they had
an Intimation of the course he intended Pur
suing—and went on with the business. The
Speaker then direhted the Clerk pro tem; to
call the roll of the House, and see how many
members were present. Mr. Bridges again
protested, called the Speaker to order, declat.-
ed himself the presiding officer, and demanded
that the members'address him. The Speaker,
several times, called Mr. Bridges to order,
and Mr. Bridges agaiti called the Speakerito
order. Every one began to be somewat ex
cited at this stage of thel proceedings. I l k

Lugati's
.motion being seconded, and the ,
question being put and carried, the Speaker
directed the Sergeant-at-Aims to show Mr.
Biidffes the door.
Mr. Greathouse, Sergearit-at-Arms, walked
up to Mr. Bridges, and politely infottned bin
that he was directed to show him out. Bridge's
told him to keep his hands off, or he would
get hurt. Greathouse took him by the cold
lar, when Bridges.itruck him, and then com'r ,
menced the scene.. They clinched, while
many of the members made up to the scene
of action to assist the B.:rgeant in the dis
charge of his duties..
After some considerable wrestlinix, knock;
ing over Chairs. ch ctc, inkctnnac, mc.n., anti
things generally, Mr. Bridges was got out
with his coat "shockingly torn." • Five or
six Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms were then ap
pointed to keep order, and the House pro 7
ceeded to business. After the Members had
been sworn in, the House adjourned until
three o'clock this afternoon.
This is one of the most disgraceful affairs
that ever occurred in . our State; and by far
this most impudent: Such a thing As.ilie
old Speaker organizing . the new House of
Representatives was never before heard of in
this State, and Mr. Midges himself knew',
that he had no such authority; for he himself
had been appointed, two years ago Cletk pro
tem pore, and after the House was organized
be was elected Clerk for the session. Wp
think Mr. Arnold is rellonsible for trying
to sustain him in his outrageous course.

Democratic Postmasters and the
T. Tribune.
-Considerable discussion has been going on
as to the duties of Post MAsters in the dil
tribution of the mammoth packages of thi l s
mammoth sheet. It has been claimed. i,
Greeley that it was the P. M.s' duty to
di
rect all snch packages indivivuallv—the.list
of names being furnished—thus saving th
publisher a large expense which is groun
out of Postmasters and their clerks - . , The
burthen has become so great as to lead offi r
cials to enquire for instructions from the
Post Office Department. The result we cop.
from the Plaindealer.
"Greeley still persists in sending his papens
unmarked to his 170,000 Western subscri ;
bets, relying on Postmasters to do this work
for him gratituously, thus saving him a east
amount of clerk hire per year, which other
clerks have to pay. The Post Master General
has decided that it is no part of a Post Masi
tars' duty to write the names of subscribers
upon papers sent them for delivery, and they
are forbidden so to do wltenever it.conflicts
with official duty which in all cases it mutt
so do.. It is an idle plea which some Post
Masters make, that when a Mail arrives they
can lay aside the Tribune until other custom
err are waited upon, then write on and de
liver them 'Avithout Wringing upon their le. l
gitimate ditties. It is not true. Subscribers
to-the Tribune will have their papers just. as
soon as any one else, and their natnes must.
first be written or else there will be confut.
gap . in the delivery. It is clearly the duty
of Post Masters to return all such papers to
the office of publication 'lor properdirection.
This is the law and the ladguage of .the in
structions, and 'Post Masters , who blink thit<
duty should be reported to the Departwen
without delay,"

BLOODY AEFRAY ABOUT A YOUNG LADY—
ArrEMPT AT Cowniorlid—TWO MEN KILLED
INRTANTLY BY STA/MISC.—The Rochester
American publishes an extract from a private
letter, dared Monmouth, Warren county, 111.,
Dec. - 12th, detailing 4 most horrid • tragedy
which occurred at the Brildwin.liouse," in
Monmouth. The circumstances are given as
follows:
-" Mr. Fleminff, an elderly gentiemitn, and
two sons about 25 to 1 ,28 years of age, hpd
called upon Mr. Crozier nt his rooms at the
B. louse, armed each with a loaded pistol,
to coerce the latter gentleman into a conces
sion and retraction of a calumny -affecting
their daughter and sister; with which they
charged Mr. C. Mr.C., after some pretty warm
language passed between the parties, agreed
to and did sign a retraction in the presence
of a friend whom the Afessri. Fleming had
brought with them.
Immediately after dell-..ering the paper
into,. possession of their friend, the Messrs.
F., ot<ne of the brothers, says to Mr. C.,
am , now going to cow-hide you e and one of
the boys holding a cocked pistol to his head,
directed the other to inflict the threatened
punishment. He had struck three or four
blows, when C. pulled a dirk knife from a
side.pocket, and passing at the samt time his
left ate arounel the_neek of the one who plied
the lashistabbed him in the left breast, anti
as quick its thought withdrew the knife and
struck the otte who held the pistol a back
handed blow which reached, as did the first,
the heart; of its victim. T. •
" Both brotherareceired their death wounds
in less than two ec tl s; and were both
bloody corpses in three minutes after they
were shuck. The 011 man had gone out into
the hall and locked the door, and 'stood on
the 'outside to keep out assistaace. The affair
has created an immense excitement here, I
assure you. The young man Crozier is under
arrest, haring.surrendered himself into Custo
dy, and is to undergo an examination to
morrow."

no discovery:or invention worth advertising

man whose mental vision is darkenetiby mi

an s one in his Mole-hole gropings, should
chance upon some new and useful truth; he
would be afraid to take the sure road to ce

hundred adults out of our population .of tar

Pills and Ointment. • Be this as it may, it is
a statistical fact, verified by the books of the
eS•tablislitnent, that More than half a million
of - persons have wahin that time purchased
the preparations at'the New Yoik Office-and
its country agencies. Could the amount of
good they have effected. in that. period, in the
United States alone, be compuied and placed
on record, it would of itself form one of the
proudest monuments of success to which zeal

t Our leaders are well aware that we
haie never advertised patent medicines—but
we now publish an advertisement of Ayer's
'lls, tot because we are Paid for it alone;
but because we honestly believe that Dr.
Ayer is one of the best Pbysicians_anid Chem
ists of the age, and because we know from ex
perience that his Cherry Pectoral is the best
medicine for a Cough, that. was ever invent-.
ed.. We have been cured by it 'of a severe
Bronchitis, and have given it to- our family
uith • unfailing success • for Colds, Coughs,
Whooping Cough. Croup, &c. Our Neigh
bors who have tried these Pills represent
them as an extraordinary . good medicine.--

Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The sud
den changes of tempe'rature in this climate
have a terrible effect upOn the skin, the muS
cles,•and the glands. Hence the prevalence
of salt, rhuem, erysipelas; blotches, boils, rb.•u
matism, quinsy sore throat, and the many oth - -
er complaints so frequently generated and al
ways aggravated by this cause. Fortunately,
in Holloway's Ointment we have the means
of proMptly removing this class of diseases,
and of so thoroughly invigorating all the' ex
terior organs and integuments as to prevent
their recurrence. The r!illS operating in bar
mony with the ointmento'egulate 'the secre
tions, and discharge froin the fluids
.of the
body any acrid matter, calculated to produce
external indannnation or internal diseaSe.
Gas. PACSENLIANI--A CURIOUS FACT.--
We c spy the following from the New Orleans
Picayune of the 1 tth ult.: We were yester
day credibly informed, by a gentleman who
rrsides near the spirt, that in September last,
the well known pecan tree, under which the
renxains of Gen. Paekenham were buried, a
few miles below this city, was:broken off. 30
feet ahove the ground, by a gale of wind, and
a cannon ball, fired from - the. Britivh lines du
ring the battle, was found embedded, just
where the trunk broke off. Thus it was that
the brave Briton slept under one of his own
missiles as,his monument !
