Since the publication of our last paper, there has been another row in the nail of Representatives. This, however, took place during debate. Nlr. Begins, of Northumberland, it appears, would not allow the Bedford bully to brow beat him into his measures, and had independence enough to tell the great mogul that he dif fered with him; whereupon McElwee let of some of his surplus stream. Mr. lie gins replied with becoming manliness, the Bedford bloodhound once on his trail, pursued him to his seat—called him a hobgoblin, d—d scoundrel, &c., and then, spit in his lace. Mr. Regius, though only' about four feet high, and an unfortunate cripple at that, struck, and spurned the Eclat from him. _ . Every member of the House felt that the dignity of theirbody had been insulted; and a committee was appointed to investi gate the case. The committee reported, and on motion, Mr. McElwee was expel led from the House, and his name stricken out from the. list of members. This was, exactly right; and is the dawn of brighter days, when the Legislature are willing to merge their parts predelictions, and bold ly stand up for the honor and dignity of their body. Every day tells us that unless sonic ex-I amples are made oldie bullies and bravos who infest our Legislative Halls, that they will soon become the arena of gladitorial combats, or the equally disgusting forum of stiaophants and slaves. Well done Legislature of Pennsylvania. "Tun Loo CABIN."-- Ti ehave recei• I ved the first No. of this intesesiiiig little sheet, published at Pottsville, under the direction of the Tippecanoe Club. At its name indicates, it goes for old Tip and fylet, with every energy. •Success to it. Our Legislature Adjourns to morrow. Can any one tell why they did not adjourn two ►nonths since'! 11 hat have they done ? What has this mighty Loco Foco party, that was to ►eform every thing, effected; to satisfy the people that they really meant .what they have to lung been preaching. %%re can tell you a few words. They have legalized the suspension, and repeal-, ed that good old law which gave a man a chance to get silver out of their vaults in three months, They have been bought by the Banks—Governor and all ; tome of their own party say ; and we are willing to believe them, knowing how venal they are. They have squandered thousands of the people's treasure, when the Gov ernor says the State is nearly bankrupt. Ought not the people put their mark up. on all such humbug patriots and such hyp ocritical politicians. They will do it, the fiat has gone forth ; and old Tip will be the first to mount the breast works of their iniquity, and drive the money changers out, Nothing is surer, every day says that the honest officer of Thomas Jeffer son, will still cling to the honest doctrines of old Dein ocracy. The Legislature of Ohio have passed vesolutions setting forth that great Brit ain is making encroachnsents upon our territory beyond the Rock Mountains, and calling upon the general government to interpose for the protection of the inter ests of the United states in that quarter. CONNECTICUT The Harrison Ball has commenced rol ling.

Well done old Connecticut. aleducees Victims. Prom the N. Y. Exi resa of yesterday. We have seldom had to relate a tale , more sad, than the present melancholy story. A shortitwo years since Miss, , Ruth Conger became aquainted with a' 'villain of the name of Montgomery Win— lant, who professed honorable attentions to her, Under this suspicious pretext, he dispoiled her of her honor, and the result et their illicit connection was an infanf daughter, born in the month of July last. Up to her unfortunate attachment to Winant, Miss Conger had sustained all irreproachable character, and was a wor thy of the Rev- Mr. Patton's eliurch. Soon lifter the birth of her daug ter, the unfortunate young woman discov ered that ffinant was a married man, and, ,consequently that it was out of his power to fulfil his oft repeated promises of ma king her honorable amends fur the injury she had received from him, This and other circums!ances preyed upon her mind and produced serious attacks of depon deney; and her despair at her forlorn situ. lation so aberrated her mind that on I cd 'nesday evening she pot an end to her life and that of her innocent babe, by plan • ging into the cistern of the house she re bitted . By the testimony of Mrs Ely - , her sis ter, with whom she lived at 91 Grand st it appears that she had been in apelanche ly mood ft: some time past. She 'lad once threatened, if read out of the church to destroy herself. On Wednesday night as she dill not appear at the table accor ding to custom, Mrs. Ely went to seek her. She went to her room, and finding her door lucked became alarmed, and in formed her husband, who broke into the chamber, tut Miss Conger was not there. Search was then made at the houses bl the neighbors, but no tidings could be gaineti of her by them. Mrs. Ely at length thought of the cis tern, and taking a pole she thrust it down and imagined she felt something at the hot torn, information of these unhappy cir cumstances was sent to Mr. Charles Jar vis, No. 140 Canal st., who is a relative of the family, and he Caine instantly to the house, and assisted in getting the bud ies out of the cistern. Both the mother and child had been a long time dead. I/ hen taken out of the water, the Poor little infant e•+s found with its lips placed closely to those of its mothers, The thoughts of her child never deserted the drowning woman, and her last sensible act was to bestow a final caress lon her dying babe. The atrocious originator of this tradge- Jy cannot but feel compunction and re morse for these sad results of his deceit Ind falsehood. Ilis mind will conjure up the phantoms of this poor girl „and her child through every hour of his existence. They will hauid. his dying pil,ow. What may come alter is known but to Chid alone.
