Adjournment oi Congress.
The Senate on Wednesday last, passed a
Resolution fixing the 27th of May, as the time
for the adjournment of Congress. On the same
day, the Resolution was sent to the House, and
on a vote to suspend tbo Rules to consider and
pass it, Messrs. Brodhead, Bidlack, and all the
rest of the Loco Focos, went against it.
The. Senate, it will be remembered consists
of a majority of Whigs, and they have shown
their anxiety for an adjournment, at an early
day, by which thousands of dollars would be
haved to the Treasury. But the House, which
is largely Loco, is anxious to prolong tho ses
sion, and has therefore refused to fix a dav of
adjournment. The people can see by this, who
are the spendthrifts, and who not. It is more
than likely that the Locos, in order to continue
their eight dollars a day, will not consent to
leave Washington before the latter part of July
or. beginning of August.
Sale of the Delaware Canal.
We notice that our Senate havo passed a
Bill, by a vote of 20 lo 10, to sell the Delaware
Division, for tho sum of $2,500,000, in shares
of S100 each. The Bill contains a provision
that the company which shall purchase it, shall
have the privilege of erecting an out-let lock at
any point along tbo line they may deem advis
able, and charge the samo toll on articles pas
sing through it, that are charged on similar ar
ticles passing through the whole line. We
hope, no obstacles will be thrown in the way
of the passage of the Bill in the House. The
price fixed upon, is reasonable; and the oppor
tunity of disposing of bo much of their Slate
Stock, will be readily embraced by tho hol
ders. Congressional Election.
An flection will be held to-morrow, in tho
13'h Congressional District of Pennsylvania,

jPrutspSc Acid.
It is asserted that death caused by Prussic
acid is only appareqt. Life, say the German
papers, can be immediately restored by pour
ing accclale of potash and common salt dis
solved in ratcr upon the spino and head. Dr.
Rngerson, a chemist, has successfully treated
rabbits, poisoned with this acid, by pouring
cold water upon these parts of their bodies.
'Annexation of Texas.
The question or the annexation of Texas to
the United States, still continues to cause con
siderable excitement in different parts of the
country, and various speculations'arc entertain
ed as to its result. For our part, we adhere to the
opinion we expressed several weeks since, that
the Senate, under existing circumstances, will
j not ratify any Treaty for such a purpose. The
Whig Senate of the United States is composed
of men who are influenced by too much patri
otism and love of country, to agree to any meas
ure so palpably impolitic and unjust. They
know that the entering inio such a Treaty,
would be the signal of a War betwoen Mexico
and this country, in which -the feelings and
moral sense of all nations must be against us.
Knowing theso things, as well as that Mexico
has never relinquished her claim to the territory
of Texas, they will nerer endanger the peace
and destroy the prosperity of the Union, by rat
ifying this mad-brained Treaty of Captain Ty
ler. The Treaty has not yet been sent to the
Senate, but it is said that it shortly will bo.
Tiie Tariff.
Floods of memorials and petitions are daily
pouring into Congress, from every section of
ihe Country, imploring the members, to let the
existing Tariff law, ;vhich is working so well
for the -people, alone. Notwithstanding these
memorials and petitions, however, a number of
the Locos are so anxious to carry out their de
struciiro doctrines, that they are urging its re
peal with renewed vigor. This is a sample of
their boaslod love for tho people, and their de
sire to sec them prosperous and happy.

Morris, for public documents.

Arrival Extraordinary.
The new packet ship Yorkshire, arrived at
New York, on Sunday night, in the remarka
bly short passage of twenty-seven days from
Liverpool. Among the passengers, says the
Herald, on board this swifi sailer, are, a giant,
standing nearly eight feet in his boots; a giant
ess, standing about seven feet in her slippers;
and a dwarf, standing twenty-three inches in
high-heeled boots, being three inches shorter
than, the famous Tom Thumb. The giant and
giantess are man and wife, and will present a
tall appearanco in walking up Broadray, some
fine morning.
Gen. Joseph ITIarklc.
Gen. Markle, has addressed a letter to the
Committee, appointed by the 4th of March Con
vention to inform mm ot nis nomination, in
which he expresses his thanks for the honor
conferred upon him, and his intention to be ;
candidate. He also fearlessly avows his prin
ciples ; and thai none may be mistaken who
vole for him, he declares himself a Democratic
Whig ; and pledges himself, if elected, faithful
ly to carry out the principles and policy of the
party. The letter may be found in another
column.
Why there is no Frost on a cloudy
night.
The remark is frequently made that "there
will bo no frost to night, for it is too cloudy."
A correspondent thus explains this phenome
non, so familiar to all, but the why and the
wherefore of which few havo taken the trouble
to .ascertain :
AII bodies emit heat in proporiion as they
contain it. I wo bodies of equal temperature,
placed besido each other will mutually give and
receive equal quantities of heat: therefore one
will not gain of tho other. But a piece of ice
placed in a warm room will receive much more
heat from the surrounding objects than it un
paris: it will iberefore gain in temperature and
mejt. The earth during the dnyreccives more
heat from the sun than it imparts to the sur
rounding space in tho same time. But during
a clear night the surface of I lie carih is con
stantly parting with its heat, and receiving none
the consequence is, that it becomes so cold thai
.the humidity contained in the surrounding air
becomes condensed, and attache
llsell to ob
jects in the form of dew, in the same manner
hat a tumbler or pitcher containing cold water
"sweats," as it is called, in a hot day tho sur
face is cooled by the water, and this surface
condenses the humidity of the contiguous air
If the surfaco of the earth, afier the formation
of dew, loses heat enough to bring it to the
freezing point, the dew becomes frozen and wo
havo a frost. But if :t be cloudy, then the heat
radiating from ihq earih, will be received by
the clouds, and by thorn the greater portion o
it will be relumed to the earth; thus the sur
face of the earth very nearly retains its temper
ature, which not only prevent a frost, but al
most always prevents the even formation
dew.
General Iffarltlc.
Tho Committee of correspondence have re
ceived the following reply from General Mar
de.
Millguove, Westmoreland county,
March lfjth, 1814.
Gentlemen. I have just received your fa
vor of the 6th inbtani, by which I am informed,
that the Democratic Whig State Convention
recently held at Harrisburg, has done mo the
unmerited honor, to place me lit nomination, as
their candidate for tho office of Governor of
this Commonwealth.
For this, manifestation of the kindness of my
Whig brothren, 1 am most grateful; and in ac
cepting the nomination which they have ten
dered me, 1 give up my individual preferences,
which predisposed me to a life of privacy, to
tho wishes of my friends who have thought pro
per lo call me from the retirement I have hith
erto enjoyed, to enter upon more active duties.
Those who have claims have called upon me
to perform a duty, which I, in common with
every good citizen, am bound to perform whon
required. I therefore accept the post which
las been assigned mo by the friends of the la
mented Harrison.
In permitting myself to be placed before the
citizens of Pennsylvania, as a candidate for tho
lighest office in their gift, I deem it duo both
to them and mysell to declare, that 1 am a
Democratic Whig, both in principle and prac
tice, and should tho partiality of the people
place me in the Gubernatorial chair, I shall ad
minister the Government upon the principles 1
advocate as a Whig, believing them calculated
lo advance the bust interests of tho State and
Nation.
With sentiments of respect, I subscribe my
self, gentlemen, your most obedient servant.

Correspondence of the Daily Chronicle.
Harrisburo, March 30, 1844.
In the House A communication was re
ceived from the Auditor General in reply lo a
resolution giving detailed information relative
to the amount of taxes assessed, and the amount
collected in each County of ihe Commonwealth
or State purposes, annually, since tho year !
1830 also the amount of revenue received
from each, annually, from oilier sources, and
the amount paid each as aforesaid for school
purposes.
The Appropriation Bill came up in order on
its final passage, the question pending being on
the motion to go into Committee of the Whole
'or the purpose, providing that the appropria
tion to Common Schools should not be paid un-j
til all the other items of the Bill were fully
diawn. The motion was noi agreed to. Yeas
28, nays 51. A number of other motions in
regard to the Common School Appropriation
were made, but all disagreed to, and the Bill,
as given heretofore, passed final reading, and
was sent to the Senate.
Mr. Connor, from the Committee to whom
was referred the matter of inquiring into the ac
counts of Win. J. B. Andrews, late Clerk of
the House of Representatives, made a report
bringing the Major in arrears to the Common
wealth some six or or seven thousand dollars,
and casting some severe reflections upon Mr.
Wright, ihe late Speaker, for having drawn his
warrants without authority of law, in favor of
Mr. Andrews, for large amounts.
In Senate The adjournment resolution, af
ter being amonded so as to extend the lime
from the 4th to tho 1 8th of April, passed final

The "JLIea" off JLoco?ocoss2
The locofucos cheated themselves into pow-
er and having lost it by the discovery of their J
corrupt practices, ihny are now trying to lie'
themselves back again! Nothing is loo bold J
for these unscrupulous and unblushing falsifiers ,
all restraints of decency are laid aside and
overy locofoco. paper is fillud with inventions, j
which show the ingenuity as well as the de-J
r.u. 'pi . rii : :.. r !
nravitvofthe party. The following is from
ihe Ohio Statesman, ediicd by Medary, as un
principled a demagoguo as ever voted a loco
foco ticket ; and affords about an average sam
ple of what we may expect from them during
i lie campaign :
" KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
Stick it on erery post, nail it to every tree,
paste it on every manile piece, wax it to every
shoe bench throughout the length and breadth
of the land, that HENRY CLAY, ihe pound
cake, cologne, dancing coon candidate for the
Presidency, said on the floor of Congress, that :
If gentlemen will not allow us to have BLACK
SLAVES, they must let us have WHITE
ONES, for we cannot cut our firc-woed and
black our shoes, AND HAVE OUR WIVES
AND DAUGHTERS WORK IN THE
KITCHEN."'
This is a leaf out of tho same book that ac
cused Gen. Harrison of selling while men into
slavery and of being two miles distant from the
battle of the Thames ! And the author of the
above black-hearted, knavish lie, is a person
hi "h in tho favor of locofocoism, who has been
spoken of as a candidate for the United Slates
Senate from Ohio and has held the office of
State Printer for many years as the gift of his
political friends ! Base and glaring as tho
knavery of the above article is, it is but a spe
cimen of what we find every day in the locofo
co press. You cannot open tho Globe, the
Pennsylvanian or the Ohio Statesman, without
finding similar articles, all equally destitute of
iruth, all pandering lo tho worst prejudices of
humanity, and all bearing on their very face,
tho utter recklessness of that depravity, which
would lie Martin Van Buren into the Presiden
tial chair.
It is by insulting the intelligence of the peo
ple ; by ribald jests and unmitigated depravity
fihat the Tory locofucos would carry the elec-
jtjon i
It is by flooding the country with spu-
rjous extracts from speeches never delivered,
and coined only in Hie brains ot sucn men as
Blair, Neal and Medary, that the result of 1840
is to be reversed! One would really think
these loco leaders were of opinion that the ex-
pressed will of nineteen out of twenty-six
States, was a stain on our national character,
which required the strongest decoction of lic
they could bring to eradicate! And. yet ihoy
are continually appealing to ihe people and
their intelligence are libelling the overwhelm
ing majority of 1840, and seem to think that
the corruption of their own hearts can meet
with sympathy from the masses ! In this they
will be mistaken : these tools wero triad on
the last election falsehood, calumny, -villifica-
tion. forperv of nublic documents, misrenresen-
tations of opinions, and garbling of speeches

were successively used to injure Gen. Harri
son, but ihe result showed that the means re
coilod upon the originators ! They mistook tho
people of tho nation thay treated them as if
they were ignorant of all the principal inci
dents in tho history of our nation, and tried to
falsify that history for their purposes! And
with what result? They were rebuked so sig
nally, that tho political annals of our country
cannot furnish a precedent case of auch utter
rout, dismay and defeat !
Have the people retrogated since then?
Has the march of intelligence been stayed?
Do the Tory leaders still think our voters are
" cattle" to be driven to the polls and their suf
frages sold in tho shambles No ! no ! no !
as education and the knowledgo of our political
relations spread over the land, they scatter tho
seeds of Whig principles, broadcast over the
Union, and the harvest, when garnered, will be
a glorious one, for the happiness of our coun
try ! The tares of locofocoism will bo weeded
out and burnt in tho fires of popular indigna
tion !
Our remarks havo been of a general charac
ter as to the system of lies and deception, which
is to constitute ihe plan of the locofoco cam
paign. Our readers may often expect to see
the heading of this article reiterated in our col
umns, for we have determined to expose every
falsehood wc datcct in ihe Tory press, and we
shall do ii in plain language. Wc are not lo
be doterred by any fear of violating the courte
sies of the press, for our duties to the Whig
party arc paramount, and wo must take the tuit
ion from the foil for our encounter. As we
hare before stated, tho editorial courtesy ex
hibited by tho press of Philadelphia, has been
all on one side ; locofocoism has never hesi
tated to use personalities or reiterate charges
most palpably false and wilfully malignant.
Wo shall avoid the example, but shall continue
to expose it.
Extravagance.
Mrs Barger, of Petersville, Md. about eigh
teen months ago, was safely delivered of three
fine children, and the samo lady last month
presented her husband with four healthy chil
dren at a biith. Seven children in eighteen

so fertile, that married folks will be afraid to
reside there these hard times.
The Murder Trial
The trial of Gottleib Williams, ihe butcher
boy, for ihe murder of Peter Doescher. was
brought lo a close on Thursday morning, by the
jury returning a verdict of guilty of involuntary
manslaughter. Much surprise was manifested
in the Court at tho verdici, it .being in direct
variance both with the Jaw and the facts,
An Atrocious label.
Amos Kendall, in his recent infamous libel
speaks of tbef recent death of a citizen of our
place, (Mr. Biddle) as caused by the disease of
which King Herod died. We have heard this
insinuated in whispers before, and only notice
it now Tor the purpose of stamping it as a foul
and false libel, only invented for the purpose of
defaming the character of the deceased, and
lacerating the bosoms of surviving relatires aud
f.: I TDIn'U HiAiia
friends. fPhila. Gazette.
It is in this way, by means of cheap tracts,
that Amos Kendall is filling tho country with
gross libels upon the living and the dead..
Equally unfounded is the base charge, indus
triously circulated, that Mr. Clay had a public
reception at New Orleans on tho Sabbath, and
that he lefi tbat city, and also Mobile, in tlm
prosecution of his journey, on thai day. Tim
respective boats in which he was a passenger
happened to reach both cities on the Sabbatl.,
but there was no parade on either occasion,
and during his sojourn in tho respective place
he regularly attended church. He left N. O.
leans on Saturday and Mobilo on Tuesday.-
The rabid violence with which this eminent
man is pursued affords striking proof of tho des
peration of the party opposed to him. It is the
samo course which was pursued towards ib
lamented Harrison, and tho same result will
follow. Newark Adv.
The Coal Trade.
The Potlsville Miner's Journal, says: Frn::t
all the informaiion we can glean, the quantity
of coal on hand in the different markets, will
not exceed 50,000 tons, about the quantity sent1
to market by ihe railroad, since the fust of Jan
uary last consequently the consumption for
the year ending on tho 1st mst., is aoout i,
260,000 tons, being an increase of about 100,-
000 over the consumption of the previous year.
The market will require this year nearly 1,
500,000 tons. As this is the period at which
Drices are arranged for the commencement of
the summer trade, the business is slacking off
a little. Tho railroad is nolTerv htuy.'and on
tho canal but few cargoes have been sl.ippo l. it
indefinite rales of freight. In ihe course of ;i
week or two, the business will begin to move
more rapidly.
Wheat Crop in Ohio. The MaconHelN-
villo Independent of the 22d ult.. says: Tho
wheat crop of this country looks remarkably
well this spring. There was a large quantity
put in last fall, and, if tho present prospect 1.1
notbliohted, there will be an immense surplus
this season for exportation. Morgan county is
destined to rank highly as a wheal growing
couniy, and our fine mills make a sieady cash
market for all ihat can be furnished ttiem.
