Monday last was the day fixedJftKe Con stitution for the assembling of the newly elected Congress ; and from our latest accounts from "Washington, we are led to infer that there were members enough present to form a quorum in both Houses. Whether they were able to or ganize however, is another matter. In conse quence of the States of New Hampshire, Mis sissippi, Missouri, and Georgia, disregarding the provisions of the new Apportionment law, which directs that all the members shall be cho sen by Single Vistnrls, and fleeting by Gen eral Ticket, griat difficulty was expected to oc cur. If this exciting question was agitated on Monday, it is possible that weeks may elapse before an organization can be effected. The two prominent candidates of the locos for Speaker, are William Wilkins, of Pennsylvania, and J. Vv Jones, of Richmond, Virginia. Mr. Jones, was iho caucus candidate for Speaker, in 1839, when R. M. T. Hunter, was elevated lo that station at that time, although he received the caucus nomination, he could not command all the voles of his partisans in the House, and was consequently defeated. This time he will experience much difficulty from the fact that the seat he occupies is contested by ihe Hon. John M. Botts. Mr. Wilkins, is such a noto rious old jcdcralist, that he can hardly obtain ihe confidence of the parly which wishes to claim all the tide to Democracy. But lime will reveal all As soon as the House is organized, the Proident will deliver his annual message, a document which is anxioiuly looked for, and which we will lay before our readers with as little delay as possible. P. S. Since writing the above, we learn that Mr. Jones, secured the caucus nomination, on Saturday evening. His election may there fore be considered almost ceriain. JVj'bscEi law. Tho spirit of insubordination which so fear fully rages in this country, has at length reached our neighbouring Borough of Easton. About ten days ago, an apparently inoffensive stran ger, purchased large bills of goods from sever al of the young More keepers of that place, for which he did not call at the appointed time. They soon hunted him up, and found that they had been duped by a fool, and that their cus tomer had no use for their goods. This knowl edge so enraged the youngsters, that they im mediately held a council, at which it was de termined to moot out to the offender some of Judge Lynches law. Four cowskins, were ac cordingly procured, and the poor foolish offen der, was whipped by the would-be young gen tlemen out of town. The affair very naturally creafed a great excitement, amongst the citi zens, and it was not long before complaint was lodged before a Justice, and four of the ring leaders bound over to Court for Assault and Battery and Riot. His Honor Judge Banks, and an impartial Jury, will teach them, in Janua ry, that the good old laws of Pennsylvania are still in existence there those of Judge Lynch to the contrary notwithstanding. Thanksgiving. Wo understand that Petition:, are in circula tion in Philadelphia, and various other parts of the State, for signatures, calling on Gov. Pos ter to appoint a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to God, for his many mercies to us a people, t is strange that Gov. Porter is to backward in appointing a day for such observance, and that it is necessary to petition him. CSreal Whig Gathering. The Whigs of the Citv and County of Phil adelphia, had a large and enthusiastic meeting at the Saloon of ihe Chinese Museum, on Wed nesday evening last. The Hon. George W. Toland, presided, who on taking the Chair, tendered his acknowledgments for the compli ment paid him. Able addresses were also de livered by Josiah Randall, Esq. Joseph R. In gersoll, William B. Reed, Joseph R. Chand ler, and John Swift, of Philadelphia; David Hoffman, Esq. of Baltimore, and the Hon. Har mar Denny, of Pittsburg. The Forum in speak ing of the assemblage), says " il was a truly glo rious meeting, and reminded us of the tremend ous gatherings of 1840. Eiitevary Prizes. The Literary Prizes, offered by ihe publish ers of ihe Philadelphia U. S. Saturday Post, and to which we called the attention of our readers about two months since, have been awarded as follows: The prize of $150, for (lie best Revolutiona ry Tale, to H. W. Herbert, for a Story entitled 11 Marie Duponceau." The prize of $100 for the first best Domes tic Story, m F. E.

The prize of $50, for the third besl Domes tic Story, to Robert Morris, editor of the Penn sylvania Inquirer, for a Tale entitled " The Heiress." The prize of $25, for the fourth best Domes- Hie Story, to Mrs. Frances S. Osgood, for a The Warren County iJZurdcr. Strong efforts are again making to ferret out ihe perpetrators of this awful tragedy, and to bring them to punishment. A'bner Parke, a brother of the murdered man, has been arrcsied, and is now in the Belvidere Jail, on suspicion of having assisted in the commission of ihe crime. It is also said thai Peter Parke, an other brother, has absconded. The Court of Oyer and Terminer, began on Tuesday, when it was supposed that Rills of Indictment against Abner Parke, would be sent to ihe Grand Jury for their action. It was also supposed that on Wrf.-d.jr. yeS.erJaj-) Oner, would b p , J- " on his trial for the murder of Mrs. Castner. It will be remembered that in September the Jury found him not guilty of the murder of Mr. Cast ner, after being out over twenty-four hours. Three indictments for murder, and one for at tempt at murder, still remain undisposed of against him. It is rumored that some nw les ttmonv has been discovered since the last trial. David Graham, of New York, has been em ployed as counsel for Carter, in the place of the Hon. Jacob W. Miller, whose duties as U. S. Senator, demanded his presence al Washington. The Delusion still kept tip. Father Miller is at Buffalo, lecturing upon the speedy coming of the end of ihe world. He has but few followers left, lo share his de lusion. The Jail at MorriMown, N. J. is without a prisoner. FOR THE JEFFEKSONIAH nfe'PUBMCAN. Machine Poetry. Oh dear! what can the matter be f H. C. M. has been stung by a "yaller" bee. Quince. (let on the steam.) " Now and Then," what a " quare" piece of stuff it is, The man 's mad or drunk, I am sure, very sure, he is. Haw! Haw! I can't rhyme it. Hallo Jerry, tell tho Doctor to lake this stnffout. It is over my " huckelbcrry." There are no rules in steam to gage it by. My " bilnr" is red hot and every rule in " Kames" at my beam's end, but if I should be " bust," I can't grind english metro or common sense verse out of it. It would scarce make one of Mother Goose's Fables." If I do put it through, you, Bob, or the Doctor, must tell me first what kind of a soul a " Pres bytery" has, so that Ira can be "its salvation ;" and as for "litanies," I am surprised at the " Lowlander's" ignorance, the Presbyterians don't use them. Now Bob, you arc a go-to-meeling man : Jerrv and the Doctor seldom tend; just tell me what kind of "a revel" the people get into, when the young priest of onr oracle, as Hank calls him, comes into church. Do they have any thing like a regular " Flo Down?" If so, whv don't Jerrv and t ho Doc lor go ? I'll turn out either of them against any " Peanpacker" thai ever shook a " mogasin." If the Poet was sober and told the truth, just " Slap" in the whole church, people, parson and all. I'll limber their joints for a " revel" or ball. I know there arc some meeting folks that want a Hide grinding "Now and Then," as well as Poets, but 1 had no idea of doing a big bus iness in that line after grinding " Green Horn." But worse lhan all ! listen ye masters, Fire men, Sukey and Cook, what this " Blinkey" says about " Shakospear." " Who cares for Shakespear and all his fun." My " biler is ready to bust," you " etarnal coot," to talk so about Daddy "Shakspear." Jerry sniff in that "long, lean," .Low-Dutchman, and I'll grind all the cabbage out of him in three rounds. "I'll condole and congratulato him" to the tune of " Olc Dan Tucker." I'll meiamorphoso him into the real shape and dimensions of the spe cies he belongs to, as sure as an Englishman loves fat beef. He makes hard threats as he winds up and every gudgeon in me aches for you and the Doctor, lest this young "Heri colcs" should send you neck and heels over " Sim's Clip." Chuck in the biped first, and let me get my grappling irons on him; ho will soon find it is bad business for "-Bulls to make battle with steam engines." Just give mo a man to grind, Jerry, and take this stuff and sell it to the soap boilors : it will be quite a specu lation. Take a little soap in exchange, as you will want some lo use on ibe Poet before you put him in. Bob. It's too strong for soap so put it onco through. Jerry. And a little will answer the purpose then too. Doctor. Down with the valve ; squeeze out what you can, And next week we'll give you the author-the man. Whuz, Whuz. Little pussy cats does no harm, Only catch rats and mice in the barn ; The old cat she goes through the barn, With her bagpipes under her arm, And all the tune that she can play Is, fiddle de dc For " Now and Then." poor Ilen-e-re C. My boiler is sound and my beam it is strong, So "slap" in a man and I'll give you a song. BOTH RUM & CO. The Reading Press. (Pa.) givos an account of an attempt to murder the entire family of Widow' Biting, in Cumru township, 'i he ril lian entered the house by breaking tb window, when the Id woman hearing a noise, ordered a little girl living with her to light a candle. Just as she had kindled a match, the man airock her on the head with an axe, which felled her. Supposing her killed, ho struck at the old lady in the dark and another lady in the room, in flicting several severe wounds. The wounded little girl, with great presence of mind, rolling herself out of the window, and running to a neighboring house, shouted murder, till the murderer hearing the noise, fled. He left his bloody axe on ihe. bed of his intended ictims. Great Yield of Corn. Jacob Frock of West Vincent, Chester coun ty, raised 104 btii-hels and I quart of corn from one acre of ground, the past season. The field in which it grew contained about nine acres, and the acre which was measured was about ati average one of the whole field. pari do Philadelphia, bank, Hank of North America, Fanners' A Mechanics' Western bank Soutliwark bank Ken&inston bank Hank of Northern Liberties do West Branch) bank Pittsburg WayiicsfiHrsr lo niownesviiie ,I0 trie Dank do Dorks county bank doTowanda do Kenei tfotes Mechanics' Bank Coinmcrchil Hank Hank of Pcnn Township Manufacturers' Mcch'ns Moyainen-iing bank United States bank Girard do Pennsylvania bank Hank of Germantown Hank of Montgomery co.

The citizens of Northampton county have resolved to erect a Monument in the Borough of Easton, to the memory of George Taylor, me of the members of tho Continental Con gress of 177G. and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The highest pinnacle of Mount Jefferson, is VY appropriately'suggesi 4'd as the site of the proposed Mouument. The spot overlooks the town, and the country around fur many miles, and a pile erected there to the memory f'f a great and good man, would be ever before the eves, as well as in the hearts of the citizens.

He says he was so much disturbed one uight by their gnawing the partition, of his sleeping apartment, thai he rose and filled up the hole they were making, but this was of no avail. They returned wiih va re-inforcement and renewed the work with redoubled rigor. He thn hung his watch oer the hoff, and in a few minutoi they dispersed, and he has not heard ono since. Singular GrH2 o Coiinexiosi. ! The line boat Indiana, Capt. Tippitts, left this place a fow days since with a Urge num ber of passengers on board, mostly ono family, consisting of a wife with two husbands, (1st and 3d, the second having died,) three sets of children, and three do. of grandchildren. The parlies stood in the relation of brothers and half-brothers, sisters and half-sisters ; uncles and aunts, conina and half-cousins, and the pa rents were mothers and fathers, grandmother and grandfather to tho whole. What is still more, singular, the wife and two husbands were on perfect good terms. The first marriage hav ing been annulled by divorce, the parties after wards, became friends, and ihe whole group wre movi to tho west touether, where thev will probably lind plenty of room, as ' this is a great couniy."
