Washington, June 10, 1814.
The Senate in Executive session, on Saturday
evening, rejected the treaty for the annexation
of Texas. The vote upon the question of con
firming it, was as follows Democrats in italic.
Yeas Messrs. Atchison, Bagby, Breese, Bu
chanan, Colquitt, Fulton, Haywood, Henderson,
itugtt, Lewis, McDuJfie, Srmpte, Sevier, Stur.
geon, Walker, WaotTbnry. 16
Nays Messrs. Allen, Archer, Atherton, liar

Phelps, Porter, Rives, Simmons, Spragne, Tall
madge, Tappan, Upham, White, Wright, Wood
bridge. 35
Immediately after the rejection of the treaty.
Mr. Benton, in open Senate, introduced a bill for
the annexation of Texas. The Bill is in the fol
lowing terms :
"Be it enacted that the President of the United
States be and he hereby is authorized and advised
to open negotiations with Mexico and Texns for
the adjustment of boundaries and the annexation
of the latter to the United States on the follow,
ing basis, to wit :
I. The Boundary of the annexed territory to
be in the desert pruirie of the Netices, and along
the highlands and mountain heights which di
vide the waters of the Mississippi from the wa
ters of the Rio del Norte and to latitude 43 de
grees North.
II. The People of Texas by a legislative act
or by any authentic act which shows the will
of the majority, to express their assent to said an
nexation. III. A State lo be called -the State of Texas,"
with boundaries fixed by herself, and an extent
not exceeding that of the largest State in the U-
nron, To be admitted into the I'nion by virtue of
this act on an equal footing with the original
States.
IV. The remainder of the annexed territory
To be held and disposed of by the United States
s one of the territories, und to be called "the
South Western Teritory."
V. The existence of slavery to be forever pro
hibited in the northern and north western part
of said territory, so as to divide as equally as may
be, the whole of the annexed country between
Slaveholding and non Slaveholding States.
VI. The assent of Mexico to be obtained by
treaty to such annexation and boundary, and to
be dispensed with when the Congress of the I'.
States may deem such assent to be unnecessary.
VII. Other details of the annexation to be ad
justed by treaty, so far as the same may come
within the scope of the treaty-making power."
The reading of the Bill as well as the speech
of Mr. Benton created much feeling in the Senate.
All listened to it, and some portions of the
speech of Mr. B., particularly that alluding to the
new born zeal of the new friends of Texas, or
neophyte friends as Mr. Benton called them,
seemed to disturb the equanimity of Mr. Mc
Duffie. Mr. B. proved that he had been a long
er and a better friend of Texas than all of them
together.
I send you below a copy of Mr. McDuffies
Joint Resolution introduced into Executive ses
sion, May 23d, and ordered to be printed Vfay 21.
The injunction of secrecy wus lemoved from it
on Saturday night.
Resolved, '-That the compact of annexation j
made between the Executive Government of the
United States and that of Texas, and submitted
to the Senate for confirmation by the President
of the United States be, and the same is hereby
ratified as the fundamental law of union between
the United States and Texas as soon as the su
preme executive and legislative power of Texas
shall ratify and confirm the said compact of an
nexation. This Resolution is now before the Senate, in
public session, and upon the question shall it be
lead a second time.
The Great Foot Rack. A Foot Race for
a puree of IjfcSOO, came off at the Beacon Course
near N. York, on Monday afternoon. The dis
tance run was ten and a quarter miles, and the
terms of'the Race were we understand, that the
man who should accomplish the distance within
one hour should take the purse; if not done
within the hour, the first out should receive
$500, the next best 200, and the third 100.
Seven men entered for the purse, amonj whom
was an Indian. Major U. Stannard, of Connec
ticut, got the lead during the first mile, and
kept it, coming out ahead, and making the dis
tance in one hour, four minutes and thirty-five
seconds. Mr. Gildersleeve ran second, ami was
the only man w ithin hail of Stannard after the
first two miles. John Smith ran third, the In
dian fourth, as long as he did run, and Mr. ()
berteuffer of this city, fifth, until the Indian gave
out, when lie took his position. Stannard was
the only man who rait the entire distance. Gil
dersleeve accomplished about 95 8 miles, when
he fainted snd was carried off the ground. The
time in which Stannard did each mile waj as
follows 1st mile and a quarter 6 in. 50 tec,
2d mile 5.50, 3d 6 07, 0.01, 5ih 6 13, (ith
6 22, 7th 6.23, eth 0 2fi, 0th 6.33, 10th 7,39.
Good running, though he foiled to accomplish
the UH miles within the hour.
Spirit of the Timtt.
Electricity at Breakfaht. Startling as
it may seem, it is beyond contradiction cer
tain, that the largest charge of the largest Ley
den battery does not equal in quantity the elec
tricity which passes between the tongue and a
ajilver spoon, during the simple act of eating an
egg. Indeed, if the quantity developed in the
latter case were free to assume the form of
the electricity obtained from friction, the result
would be a lightning flash of no small power.
The chemical action of a grain of water upon
four grrains of zinc, can evolve electricity equal
ii quality to that of a powerful thunder storm.

A Word to (he lTnnocrat.
If there is a single Democrat in tho State
who feels inclined to remain neutral in tho con
test now approaching who feels inclined not
lo vote for the Democratic nominees for Govern
or or President let him pause before he goes
any further. Neutrality now is, to give it no
harsh term, a mot dangerous state. Recol
lect, by this you aid in the election of HEN
RY Ct.A Y Neutrality on the Governor
question must contribute to produce this result
in the Presidential contest. And what a result
that will be, friend ! You actunlly aid to elect
the vilest enemyofyour principles now living
the enemy of Jackson the enemy of all those
measures which you esteem and which you have
supported. You actually aid in the election of
a man who in the public streets ofthe Southern
cities, has proclaimed his determination to fla
vor the charter of another bank, with a capital
of many millions ! If you are n democrat it
you area man if you remember the ruin and
distress, the bankruptcy and the dismay, which
followed tho explosion ofthe last monster bank,
(and which muit follow the establishment of a
nother,) cm you countenance, even by your
passive neutrality, the election of a man who
would produce by his own act, just such another
state of things 1 Oh, no! we will not believe it!
Forget the hate of ancient frays,
Forget the harsh words wildly said,
And round the path of other days
Contentment's glory will be shed.
Remember only those who gave
The rein To ruin and dismay
Who buried, in Misfortune's grave.
The hopes of many a cheerful day ;
And now, with general might and main,
Seek your high places to regain.

rv. "A letter dated Herkimer, June 5, in the
New York True Sun, says: "You will bo
surprised to learn that Judge Smith, first Judge
of Herkimer county, was yesterday arrested
at Herkimer on a charge of forgery. The
Judge had organized the Court and charged
the Grand Jury, who on retiring found the
first business t which their attention was di
reeled comprised the character of the function
ary who had just harangued them ! He was
accused by competent witnesses of having for
ged three names one of them that of the Coun
ty Clerk to a mortgage for ubout !?00, in
139. A true hill was found against him, he
was called from the bench, arrested and held
to bail. The mortgage, it is stated, was gi
ven to raise money for Judge Smith's ue, and
the cash obtained from a widow lady residing
in the town of Fairfield. It is also ttated that
the interest has been regularly paid. The
Judge was unable to procure bail, and has been
committed to prison."

Ma. Eurron : It being in accordance with the
usages ofthe Democratic party, lor the people,
pievious to the formation of the County Ticket,
to bring before the public the mimes of such in
dividuals as they may deem most worthy to dis
charge the duties belonging to the ollices within
their gilt, we would recommend to the consider
ation ofthe Democratic Electors of Northumber
land county, Maj. WILLIAM L. DKWART
as a candidate for the Legislature. Should the
people see proper to elect Muj. Dewart as their
Representative, we feel confident that they will
find in him a public servant of distinguished a
bilities, an intelligent, firm, and unwavering De
mocrat of the JciTersonian school, and, conse
sequently, the laboring man's friend.

Commow Ssse. No one ii so foolish as to
suppose for a moment that we on live without
esting, any more than a tree could derive nuliiment
from the air alone, wiihout the mil. Chameleon
msy live on air, though it is well known that such
air is full of living inserts. All, therefore, know
that it is what we put into 'he st .much which cau
ses ua to lie. Wo make over our bodies from the !
stomach. In from three to five years we make over
our bodies entirely. Thus what is part of us to
day is abs dutely not a pait of us tomorrow. The
secretions, euch as perspirstirn end other evacua
lions, continually make our bodies waste, and it is
from the stomach that we supply this waste all
we have lo do to make our bodies ultimately heal
thy, is to prevent unhealthy panicles from mixing
with the blood. Purgation does this for us provi
ded the purgative we employ contains nulling in
it which will weuken us or do us injury.
Brsndreih's Vegetable Universsl Pdls, for this
purpose, will be found all that u requhed , because
liny purge from the stomach and bowels the super
abundance of humors which may have accumulated
in the system, before ihey have time to produce pu
trefustion, and its natural consequence death.

N tho Itlh of May, 1944, we propose to issue

1. live Syrup of Harssparills, as a purifier of the

that il is unnecessary to occupy much space in set

one that has Inken il, have derived so signal b tu -fn-ial
results from it, that it is recommended by
them with the utmost confidence. Physicians of
(he highest standing in the profession, prcsori! e it
lo patients under their care ; containing nothing
deleterious, but being composed of the most mild,
yet efficacious vegetable materials, it if offered with
confidence, as the cheapest and most efficient pu.
rifier of the blood now known. The use of a few
botiles, especially In the spring months, will be at
tended with a most decided improvement in the go

of disease that mny have been generated, beside
giving health and vigor to the body. For the euro

Ma. OiKttTt-I believe it the duty of every
one to do whieteverin their power tics, for the b"tie.
fit of their fellow man, end having had pnei Wo
proof in my own family, of the wonderful property s
of your Depurative Syrup of Sarsapnrilla, I m"st
conscientiously recommend it to the arllieted. Wa
had the misfortune to lose two of our children, by
the breaking out of ulcerous sores that covered the
face, bend and reck, although we had some of the
most scientific physicians to attend (hem and" had
tried all the known remedies, including Swaims
Panacea, without avail. Another of my children
wi atlacke.l in the same manner, her face and
neck was completely covered; the discharge was so
offensive, and the disease at such a height, that wo
di spaire.t ol her life. Seeing the wonderful efTecU
of your Depnra'ive Syrup ot S irsaparilla, we were,
induced to make trial of il, as the last resort ; it
acted like a charm; the u'cers commenced healing
immediately, a few bottles entirely restored her to
her health, which she has enjoyed uninlenuptedly
ever since. As a purifier of the blood, I verily be
lieve it has nut its equal.

his system, the sore healed up, and the child w n
restored lo perfect health, which he has ci'jnve!
uninterruptedly ever since, to the astonishment ef
