A most disgraceful tramadol occurred
in the houso of Representatives' bn Satur
day last between Mr. M'Elwee of Bedford
end Mr. Ilcgins of Northumberland. Mr.
M'Elwco nlade somo remarks reflecting up
on Mr. Ile'gin. Kir. iiegina retorting
ebarply in hi reply, Mr. M'Elwee imme
diately went to the seat of Mr. Ilegins and.
called him a d -d puppy. Mr. ilegins
replied, that if ho said so he was ad d
scoundrel. Upon which Mr. M'Elwco spit
In bis fade. Great oxcitemciit wzi created
In the house in consequence. As soon as
it could bo quieted, h resolution was intro
duced appointing a committee) to onquiro
lnto the facts of tlie case. Tho committee
, repotted the cidencc, but defined recdm
j mending any action. Mr. Flsruir of iMilla
'deldhia, however, immediately offered n
Vesolution expelling Mr. M'Elwee from the.
hoUBe, which, after considerable discussion,
was adopted by a rote of 08 to 0. This
is a plain Malemerlt of the facta as ivo -gather
from the Harrisburg papers, and we re
peat, that it was a most disgraceful transac
tion on the part of Mr. M'Elwee, and wd
cannot see how the houso could have done
less than tako the step they did, and pre
serve the dignity of tiic Legislature.
We are ndtonc of thoSo who often praise
patent rights, for tho most of litem, aro mere
catch penny concerns, calculated to swindle
the credulous, and impose upon the commu:

tion of a patent brick oven, with which wo
were highly pleased, and what is better still;
Tre feel confident it will plcaso the wbmen,
which is a great desideratum now a days:
It is so constructed that the heat surrounds
the part occupied by the bread and can bo
constantly kept at any degree of heat ybu
please, so that when ono oven full ia taken
but, another can be immediately put in his
place, without waiting to reheat the oven:

The Etlilor of the Democratic' Review

can gentleman, whose literary character
ihroughn'ilt the Union is n sufficient guaran
ty for the ability and authenticity of his
latementR, while his ofllcial position at the
"fcnurt of Prance has given him access to in
formation and materials beyond tho reach
"of other individuals, which have bfceti free
ly used in the treatrrient of his subject.

. INDEPENDENCE, is a beautiful bright
Bay, having a black list along his back, and
black legs, riiane, and tail. He stands us
ing sixteen hands high and for syrnetry
and movement, he can have but very few su
periors on this Continent. His former own
er kept him for the turf, on which ho nov
er lost a race, for six hundred yards, and a
quarter of a mife. He is well known in
this neighborhood to bo a sure horse; and
his stock of more value, than that of any
other horse that has been kept iu the county
for many years past. ,
The Sire of INDEPENDENCE; was
the celebrated imported horse, Printer, the
swiftest horse, at that time, in the United
