We understand that no reports have been received of the meetings held in No vember, from the following named counties: ADAMS, Armstrong, Bed ford, - Berks, But ler, Cumberland, Columbia, Clearfield, Crawford, Delaware, Franklin, Greene, Ju niata, Lebanon, Luzerno, Lycoming, Mer cer, Pike, Perry, Potter, Somerset, Tioga, Dnion,Venango,Westmoreland and Wayne. It is hoped that the Commissioners of these counties will attend to this duty with out delay, that the Secretary may be ena bled to make the report to the Legislature which the same law requires from him as Superintendent of the Common Schools. o:7in the Senate, on the 18th inst. Mr. Geiger called up his resolution for repealing or suspending the School Law; but the Sen ate refused to proceed to its consideration. Oz Petitions were presented on the 17th inst. by Messrs.

The effect of this Would be, to interrupt the course of ordina ry legislation, and by an indirect mode of . procedure, to give a virtual annuity for ser • vices only entitling the applicant to a gratui ty.

"Millions of the public treasure deposited where none hut the favored few can tell; guarded (if guarded at all) by unknown con trivances, devised by the same heads, and distributed, not in compliance with any pre scribed rule of late,. but according to the whims or designs of those who claim the actual control of it, have contributed to de. range the circulation, and to corrupt the currency of the country. The natural effect of such a state of things must be to impair the credit ofindividuals,and their confidence in each other. From this must result the decline of industry, and the prostration of usefu! enterprize. Such a condition cannot continue long in quiet. It is therefore, the duty of the Government which has caused it, and which alone possesses the means of remedying the evil, to undertake its cure speedily. This task, although probably more difficult now than formerly; yet pre sents no insuperable obstacle. Common in telligence sincerely striving to accomplish an object required alike by the welfare of individuals, and the public good, is fully ade quate to its achievement. Then, let us still hope, that the imminent peril in which, the community is placed by the ill-advised acts and omissions of the Government of the U. States, will be of but short continuance, now that their effects have been seen. Never. theless, if this is suffered still to exist, let the people and the States continue to bear it with fortitude, remembering always, that the time will soon arrive, when they will have an opportunity to redress themselves in the regular, orderly and accustomed mode." OFFICIAL REPORTS. THE REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR, which accompanied the President's message, is a sensible business paper, but it has omitted one important item, which in times like the present, when rumors of war are afloat, would have been acceptable. It says not a word upon the actual extent of our army, but referg to the reports "of the Major General and of other heads of bu reaus," which are accessible to very few readers. In relation to the frauds commit. ted on the pension fund, the Secretary en ters into much detail, and intimates his be lief that they may have been far more ex tensive than has been generally supposed. The means resorted to have embraced per jury, by which official attestations and seals of courts have been obtained,--the transfer of seals from one document to another— and absolute forgery in the preparation of the whole papers. The extent of these frauds as far as discovered has almost de stroyed confidenceltl - the validity of genuine certificates, and the Secreqry urges an immediate revision of the laws; so as to pre vent further impositions. Upon the subject of the Indians, we are informed that the Cherokees have not con sented to migrate to the West—that the number of Indians of various tribes which have been removed to the tract of land con taining upwards of a hundred millions o acres sat apart by the government as their permanent residence, is thirty thousand,and the number yet to be removed in conformity with existing treaties, fifty thousand. This extensive body of land which covers an area of 156,250 square miles, allows nearly two square miles to each Indian, if the native tribes of which the number is not given, be omitted. It is deemed by the Secretary highly probable, that their proximity to the native tribes will lead to col:isions with the latter, and we should also think with one another, and Indian Wars will probably be carried on, until the race becomes extinct. The Cumberland road, east of Wheeling, will soon be completed, and no additional appropriation will be required. An in crease of the number of officers in the En. -gineer Corps is asked for. A-re-organiza tion of the Topographical Corps is recom mended, and its being merged with the Civ:, it Engineers suggested. In reference to the Delaware Breakwater, an important fact as connected with the in terests of the port of Philadelphia, is brought into view. It seems that for. some time past, gradual depositions of sand have been made in the neighborhood of the work, which have reduced the depth of the water, and during the present season, these have been so extensive in the artificial harbor, as to have excited serious apprehensions-as to the result• A thorough examination into the matter by scientific men was made, but the substance of the report is not uiven--- For the completion of this work $lOO,OOO is called for, and has been included in the estimate of the department.—Phil. Gaz. THE REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF TIM NAVY, containing little of importance, save the annual statistics, we will for the present content ourselves with a brief account of its contents. The navy consists of: Now building, six ships.of the/line, and seven frigates. In ordinary five ships of the line, 2 frigates and six sloops of war. In commission, one ship of the line, 4 frigates, eight sloops of war and six schoon ers. Total, twelveships of the line, 13 frigates, fourteen sloops of war and Six schooners. To c cojaplete those building, and repair those out of order $2,889,640 will be re• qui red. In addition to these, it appears that we may commence the bnilding of five shies of the line, eleven frigates, seven sloops of war and two schooners. Our vessels in commission during the past year, have been employed, as heretotbre, in protecting our commerce in the Mediterra nean, in the West Indies, on the coast of Brazil, and in the Pacific Ocean. Our naval farce consisting of commission ed and warrant officers, petty officers, sea men, landsmen and boys, amounts to 6,072; and our marine corps under its new organi zation, will consist of commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians and U - it G ST A R lerattere, Privates, to the number of 1293. Total 7,355. The report informs its that the Dry Docks at Boston and Norfolk are fully successful, and recommends one at New York. It al so recommends the construction of several steam batteries forexperiments; the increase of the salaries of commanders on foreign stations; and the removal of the marine bar racks out of the Navy Yards. It gives a statement of the Navy pension fund, its dis bursements and the number of pensioners; it informs us that the surveys of the coast have been delayed by the transfer_of that duty to the navy department, and asks an ap:iropriation of $30,000 for its prosecution; it states that the experiment on the safety °relearn engines directed by Congress have not been made, and mentions that the sate of the naval asylum in this county has been ceded to the general government by this commonwealth. The report is an ordinary performance, containing nothing worthy of remark or praise, and written in a style that would neither have distuomished nor disgraced any of the clerks in the department.—lind. POLITICAL. Honest GEORGE KREMER has been nomi nated by a public meeting of his friends in Union county, Pa. as a candidate for Gov ernor of the State, to ho supported by the faithful instead of Gov. Wolf. Among the many absurd and disorgani zing doctrines which "the madness of par. ty" has recently broached, none appears to us more repugnant to the dictates of com mon sense, mid at war with the plain letter and unquestionable intention of the framers of the Federal Constitution, than that bold political heresy which would require a Sen ator of the United States—elected, uncon ditionally, for six years, and placed in a po sition designed to be removed as far as pos sible from the influence of fluctuating party ascendancy and intolerance—a position in which, while they stand peculiarly as the representatives of the States, they also act in a great measure as the balance wheel in the machinery of our government—we say, it strikes us as utter subversion of the prin ciples upon which this branch of our politi cal system was established, and hitherto re garded, to hold that a Senator is bound to resign his trust whenever the Legislature of 'is State shall happen to have a majority of members differing from him on certain po litical questions—For, were such a principle allowed to govern, the Senate would be di yest'ed of its conservative character, be speedily shorn of its independence, lose its efficiency as a check upon other departments of the government, if indeed it should not be an entirely useless body.[Frank. Whig. The "Intelligencer" at Harrisbur g is out decidedly;' in favor of Gen. Harrison , for the Presidency. His claims are not very ap parent, thouth his military character may draw to him considerable support. There is but one man who can take the vote of Pennsvlvania out of the hands of the Kitch en Cabinet, and that is JOHN MCLEAN of Ohio. H. 6 high moral character, and cor rect business habits, places him high in the estimation of the people of this State, and will ensure to him their support. We are sorry he is not more of a favorite with the Editor bf the Intelligencer.—Carlisle Exp.- JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. It has been stated that Mr. SILSBEE, one of the U. S. Senators from Massachusetts, whose term will expire on the 3rd of March, declines being a candidate for reelection, and has expressed a determination to retire from public life. Mr. Silsbee has been a faithful public servant, and true representa tive; and, after a long and active term of service in the public councils of the nation —should such be his determination—may retire with honor, and with the esteem and confidence of his constituents unimpaired. Under these circumstances, the question of asuitable successor to Mr. S. in the 'Senate of tho United States, has como up with con siderable force among the W higs of Massa chusetts. And, as mentioned yesterday, a mong the names most prominently brought forward with this view, by the public voice, is that of Jottx QUINCY ADAMS. Other good men and true have been named for this exalted trust--but why need we go further? Taking into account his high personal and public character, great attainments, long experience in business, and uncompromising honesty of heart and.kurpose, under every change of position and eitcumstance—where could-old Massacliiii - etts find, among her dis tinguished hens, a more suitable representa tive on the floor of the Senate. than John Quincy Adams? Truly we may say, with out disparagement to the leading worthies of that. State, we know of none, in whom she might confide this trust, with more itn plicit reliance, for its faithful and able exe cation. It is not the custom of Missachu • setts to confide her posts of honor or trust to incompetent hands. tier choice, there fire, on this occasion, fall where it may, will be such as to detract nothing from the dig nity of her course and character, or from the value of the example which she sets, in this connection, to some of her sister States.— Searching as is the ordeal—prominent to the view of the Union, as is the Senate of the United States, we du not fear that the object of her selection will be•found wanting to himself or to the State which thus con fides in him. Yet, we repeat, there is per haps no one of her list of distinguished men and tried statesmen, who, reference to this appointment, would so generally attract and concentrate the public reg ard, both in and out of Massachusetts, as he whom we have above designated. And should the choice of Massachusetts take. that direction, it might he assumed with confidence as the general verdiCt, that she had chosen wisely and well. And now, with regard to the next Prest dencv!. if, as some contend, the hat of:wor thies already named liar that high offiee,con. Seknee, .11griculture, the 61•Techanic artfi, Internal Improvement, and GeneraVetfixeeltany. tams no one on whom the whole opposition can or will rally, a position which we mere ly state, but do not affirm—what is to hin der the honest men throughout the Union from uniting upon such a wan as John Quin eyeams? Is he not honest and capable, and fitithful to the Constitution? When the moral epidemic shall disap pear, which has afflicted our country for seven years past, and the above questiol a shall again come up, as guides to the people in their choice of public functionaries, there are few men, of all the distinguished of our land, who need less fear the response, than Mr. Adams. In the days of Kitchen net rule, and of col/arum, it would be quite useless to look towards such men as Mr. I Adams. And let 11-e issue come when it may—and whether the rally of the honest and disinterested is - in tiivor of Mr. A. or of some other honest statesman, we may he perfectly assured that the Kitchen Cabinet and the collar men will oppose him. And for this plain reason that neither he nor any other honest and capable man would suit their purposes! For the same reason, among others, the PEOPLE OF THE UNION, who have no tntere•it in the matter,separate from good and virtuous government, should unite upon some man known to be honest awl ca pable, and therefore known to be opposed to Kitchen Cabinets and collarism. Many such, we trust, there are. That the PE°. ME may unite upon one, is our earnest wish. UNION On their part, is all that is necessary to success. And we see not why they might not unite upon Mr. Adams, or some other well tried statesman, equally honest and capable.—Baltimore Pat. AGE OF r rs.—This is truly the age of experiments! 'Spain and Portu gal are trying the experiment of petticoat government—England is experimenting on her West India possessions—Louis Philip pe is experimenting upon the patience of the French—the Autocrat steadily pursues his experiment upon Turkey—the Sultan Malt aloud continues his experiment of introduc ing European customs among the Turks— Santa Ana, President of Mexico, appears inclined to experiment on the plan of Itur bide—some are trying experiments in the air with balloons, and others under the wa ter in diving-bells while last, though not least, the PRESIDENT, having finished his experiment on the currency, proposes anoth er, on a grand scale, by reprisals upon FRANCE--Kent (Md.)

VIRGINIA•—It is with heartfelt pleasure we state, that every appearance indiC.Mes that the current of public feeling in Virginia, is beginning to turn decidedly against the Van Buren scheme of secret instruction, and that a most confident hope of Nlr. Leigh's re-election increases, instead of diminishes. CANNL COMMISSIONERS ' Rlll'OßT.—This document which, following the fashion of the season is very ; long, was presented to the Legislature on:be 4th inst. It enters into a wire-drawn detail of the proceedings of the past year on the public works, which includes an extensive list ofdams, aqueducts, locks and other structures which have fil ed, and attempts to gloss over the deficien cy with apologies which only show that the agents of the State were ignorant and in competent. The different lines of canal and rail-way which were the two last winters repnrtet neatly - finished, have still not reach ed the devoutly wished consummation, and another appropriation of $344,612 is de. manded to complete them, while $1:25,000 is asked to pay the wages of commissioners, collectors, engineers and other public sti pendiaries, and to do new work on old lines of canal. The repairs will require $200,000 more, and in order to buy locomotive en gines to get the Rail Roads under way, an other sum uf 8135,000 is necessary. Such is the comfiirtable prospect presented to the Citizens of this State of more - debtirr becon-- tracted on account of this interminable im proveMent system, which as it now works by steam, will most probably end in smoke. York Republican. INVESTIGATION OF MASONRY. Mr. STEVENS' resolutions, respecting Free-Masonry, which were offered in the House of Representatives, on the 10th of December, were summarily disposed of by a vote of 58 to 38. We expected this of course, from the present Legislature. .There is but one way of procuring a legis• dative investigation of Free-Masonry—arid' it is, the election of Anti-Masons to the leg islature. Our friends must recollect this on the 2d Tuesday of next October. Anti- Ma sons need look for neither justice, nor cour tesv from a legislature of their enemies.— Still—alt hough the present legislature will do nothing—our friends should pour in their petitions—and either shame or frighten the hod-carriers and their masters, out of their high handed course. Sooner ur later, there must be in Pennsylvania—as there has been in several other states—an investigation of that abomination Free-Masoriry.-;--Sun. MR. STEVENS' RESOLUTIONS.—We beg leave to call particular attention to the reso lutions offered by Mr. Stevens in the Legis lature, which were published in our last pa per, upon the subject of Free-Masonry. No honest man of intelligence will pretend to deny any of the charges contained in the preamble—and why then should not Mason ic oaths be abolish - 4d? Why will any party support an institution like the Masonic? It appears by the vote upon the printing of the resolutkins, that the Wolf party have under taken the particular protection of the insti tution. We are rejoiced to perceive this, for it will infallibly break theft) down. No party can stand with the weight of corrupt Masonry upon its shoulders. There are few intellicrent men, who do not at this time perceire, and many ac knowledge, that there can be no true free dorn,esuality and independence in this coml. try while Masonry exists. It is dangerous PUBLIC OPINION. to freedom, and is a monster that must be I overthrown. Let every one of our readers examine the allegations in Mr. Stevens preatnhle, and see if he believes any one of theta to be false. They are all true, every one of them, and they have never been denied under oath. Will this Wolf Legi.lature refitse to prohib it such oaths being taken? We shall see. If they do, it must be the knell of their fu ture success, for the people are determined to put an end to Masonry, and all other usur pations that have exclusive privileges. That part of the preamble, that relates to the alliances and treaties with foreign Ma sons, was proved last winter before the Le gislature of Massachusetts. This is truly a subject of alarm to a people jealous of their liberty.—Curlisle Exp. Investigation of Masonry.—We already see evidence of alai in at the pro gress of public scrutiny. In the last Greens huro Argus we mid the following remarks about Mr. &rev e Ns ' Resolution of enquiry. "The House has however chalked out its course, and will make short wet kof this subject, as it even refused to have the r!so lution printed by a vote 458 to 38." Does this mean that the 58 Jacksonites who vJted to prevent enquiry have met in caucus and have resolved unanimously together that they will shut their cars against the petitions of the People? Some of them profess, as the writer of this article tines explicitly, to "know nothing about the Masonic institu tion" and when charges of revolting and alarming molt are preferred against it, by men of the highest respectability (and which no doubt will be pressed for examinati ni by the voices of tens of thnusands of free honest citizens) will that Jackson majority have the profligate impudence to meet and pre judge the case in secret caucus? and pre tending to represent the people will they a gree to tell the people that they will give them no satisfiction about it? Such a caucus we hold to be a more abominable and trea sonable conspiracy than that of Aaron Burr, and a more dishonorable and dangerous one than that of La Fitte's gang of pirates at Barrataria—in short too villainous, and shameless, and desperate a thing to bo be lieved in without better evidence. If the 58 who are, with one exception, Jacksonites, have not in caucus chalked their own course, we are to understand the remark as havine e' a beau ing of far greater probability, namely, that they have had their course chalked out for them by the Masonic emisaries of the kitchen cabinet who are appointed as their guardians and managers; and if so we shall Lion see wheth er they will walk the chalk. There is no truth perhaps more univer sally understood, and acted titre' by the peo: ple, than this, that innocence always seeks investigation, acd guilt always shuns it.— Nothing had such a sweepingly deciive ef fect at the late election ns the Bank ques tion. The gist of the matter was the appa rent refusal of investigation; though in reali ty, it was not a refusal, but only a difficulty suggested about the manner—a demurrer raised on account of the rights and interests of third parties involved; but it was a posi ' tion which the adversaries of the ILA had the address to Meet, so as to give it the prac tical effect of a refusal of investigation; and the million so understood it. The sentiment it excited was most intense. particularly a mong the people Cr the country, but it was universal and irresistible. By none did we hear it more severely expressed than by some of the Bank's bust friends. It was a tornado of reprobation sweeping the land from the .Atlantic to the farthest west, and leaving a memorable lesson forever for those who might feel disposed to shrink from pub lic scrutiny. Another sentiment has spread amon , st our populatiom, an impression not less in tense, and not susceptible of change. It is -a daily ine reasine b -eonv let ion or thee-x t one wickedness, and continual, extensive, mss chievous activity of the Masonic institution; a belief that it is the main fountain of the official. profligacy • which prevails in every department of our governments, and in every section of the country. This general detestation of Masonry has been partially diverted from its object in some places, end suspended in the minds of many, under the erroneous idea that either Nlasonry or Anti-Masonry must soon die.— But let the issue once be fairly made Be tween them, and such an overwhelming._de monstrat ion of popular feeling will be given as never has been witnessed since the Revo lution. Only let us catch Jacksonism, or any thing else, identifying itself with Ma sonry, and laboring to screen it limn exami nation, and though the scorpion stings of conscience may nut reach them, the voice of an outraged, insulted community will.

DESTRUCTIV"E On Sunday night last, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, a light was seen in the direction of Funks•town, which indicated that smile kiwe building in that neighbor hood was on fire. The cry was given this our streets and in a few moments the whole town was in complete confusion: All was now a matter 'of conjecture as to the point ; r um whence the light proceeded; some sup posed it to he either Sharer's or Clageti's mill, on the Antietam—others contended that it was Stonebraker's stack•yard; and while expectation was on tiptoe, the news came that it was the extensive Woollen Factory of the Messrs. Shafer's in Funks town. Our firementrith their engines re paired to the spot as speedily as possible, but nut hi time to save the building; they suc ceeded, however, in preserving the adjoin. ing property. The factory anti all its con tents,(except the books and some wool) were entirely consumed. It was a fortunate cir cumstance that there was Lo wind at the time, for had it been blowing in either direc tion,• the great probability is that. it would have swept the saw-mill and grist-mill on the west, and might have extended far up the the town on the east. The fire is said to have originated in the dye-house, a back building attached•to the factory. In the preparation of a certain dye, it is reqUisite that a continual fire be kept up, which ac counte for the accident happening on Sun day. We understand that the dyer had not been at the factory for some time; when he was last down he stirred up the lire, and considering all things satit,went tn his board ing house and retired to bed; indeed, every thing almost was in flames betbre he was aware attic circumstance. This is a serious loss, not only to the pro prietors, hilt to Washington county; particu larly to about one-third of the citizens o Funks town. This establishment alThrded employment to many indigent families, who have now scarcely any means orsupport. II we are correctly informed, nn inventory was taken a short time ago, of the etThets which amounted to $18,000; since then nanny im provements were made and a large quantity of wool added: the whole loss will not fhil much short of $25,000. There was no in surance—the policy having been suffered to run out about twelve months ago. The owners are men of great respectability and weight of character, and distinguished fbr their laudable enterprize and industry. Nile sincerely hOpe that meetings will be held in every town in the county, and contributions made for their relief. TRIAL OP JOSEPH O'OONNER. The Frederick Herald contains a full re• port of the trial of JOSEPH O ' CoNNCR, for the murder Of MARY ANN GOWER [former ly of this place, and then known as Mary Ann Sprenkle ,] on the night of the 4th of July last, in that city, from which we gather the following facts:—That the deceased re sided in a house of ill fame, in an obscure part of the town,—that there had been dis orderly and riotous proceedings at the house on the evenint , of the 4th of July, and that a constable ha d'"' dispersed those engaged in them,—that the prisoner had been there,be tween whom and the deceased an altercation arose,—that the deceased left the house a bout 10 o'clock, and that the prisoner also left it shortly after, saying that he would be back again after awhile, and "raise hell,"— that the house was closed about 11 o'clock, --that a short time afterwards one of the initiates got up and admitted the deceased,' and a man who came with her,—that shout 12 o'clock some person knocked at the door, and the deceased came downstairs and ask ed who was there, and the voice answered "Joe,"—that the deceased opened the door, when the prisoner entered, seized her by the arms and pulled her into an adjoining room,—that they. there disputed and had scuffle, and the deceased cried "murder" two or three times, and then said "O'Con nor don't stab rite,"--that the deceased came running out of the room, and called to one of the witnesses (who was in an adjoining room) and begged him to go for n doctor, saying that O'Connor had stabbed her and that she was bleeding to death; she then fell,—that the prisoner came out of the room, with a dirk in one hand, and a candle and a pistol in the other, and going to where the deceased was lying, said "take that you bitch!" that the witnesses, who were in an adjoining room, became alarmed and escap ed through a back window, and thimce went to the garret of the next house, from the window of which they could see into the passage of the hotthe they had left,,—that the prisoner put the, candle down and dent out of the front door, but returned. agairi in about five minutes, took the candle, went to the girl, called her by name,'amt told her to get up; she was dead; he then put the can dle down, looked wildly about, and left the t rid the ii - giv - diwand the officers immediately went in pursuit of the prisoner,—that he was found at his boarding house, in led, appardntly asleep, -•—and that under his pillow and bolster were found a loaded pistol, and a dirk with a clot of fresh blond upon it. Dr. Waters testified that he did not see the dead body until the next morning. The wound was about the eighth rib below the shoulder blade. From the suflifsed appearance of the countenance, he judged thilt she had died of strangulation, by the blood flowing into the lungs, &c. but should thinlothat the wound would have been in any case a mortal one. The lungs were 88,544 3,940 pierced. The trial occupied two days, and excited much interest. The Jury retired about 15 minutes rust 2 o'clock on Friday morning lust, and returned after being out nearly seven hours, with a verdict of guilty rf murder in the eerond degree. The Court immediately sentenced the prisoner to EIGH TEEN YEARS imprisonment in the peniten tiary, eighteen months of which time to be spent in solitary confinement. The counsel for the State, were Mr. RAY MOND, prosecuting attorney, and Mr. F. A. SCHLEY, appointed by the Court at the sug f gest ion of Mr. R..— fo r the prisoner, Messrs. AN Dr. SCHLEY, DIXON and LYNCH. The Herald says "we have no remarks to make upon the testimony or the verdict; but feel it our duty to say that no similar case tried in this court elicited. more legal learning and acumen, or was managed - with such consummate skill."—Hagerstown Mail. Considerable excitement has been mani fested in our borough within the last few days, particularly among the colored popu lation, in consequence of the disinterment of the corpse of a mulatto girl, the night sub. sequent to its burial.

In the course of a short debate on the resolution, Mr. Mann, of New York, re marlted—"He had no doubt that mal•ad• ministration existed at West Point; as one evitlence of which, he learned from the offi. cial reports on that subject, that it costs this Government between 5 and 6,000 dollars to educate an officer for the Army of the United States.

France—Another change of the French Ministry is already announced! This sud den change is said to have been caused by the unwillingness of the new Ministry to en counter the responsibility of proposing to the Chamber of Deputies to appropriate the full amount necessary to pay the indemnity under the treaty with the United States.— The National Gazette, we observe, howev er, and we think with reason, discredits the supposition that. the American affair had much influence in the case. Disputed ca,• 7 dinal points of domestic politics were more' likely to produce so sudden and violent a change. "We have read (says the National Gazette) a number .of the Paris editorial ar ticles on the fbrmation of the Bassano cabi net, and not found a word in relation to the American affair. The despatch which it is The editor of the Baltimore Patriot has one of the best oft he numerous Washington correspondents,who furnishes a letter daily. We copy from one of them of late date: The Globe, you see, is also bitterly com plaining of the Senafrrial Committees. The difficulty is with Isaac Hill. The trouble comes from him. The fact is, no Senator ofeither party would vote to put Isaac. upon any 'Committee, because Isaac nut of the Senate, on Committees, is hot just such a companion as even a Jackson man seeks— and the consequence was, that Isaac, by mu tual con. , ent as it were, was left off all the Committees. If Isaac thinks it grievous, he must behave better. Last summer, in New Hampshire, in one of his written din ner speerhrs, which he was,.l presume, un expectedly called upon to make, he stated that he had rather associate with State Pri son convicts, than with Clayton, Clay and Poindexter—and now if his friends here freed him from this bad company, sure he can't complain. lam not surprised how ever at Isaac's remark. A man is knowa by the company he selects, as well as the company he keeps; and if Clayton were to give me such a scathing as he once mure Isaac, I am quite sureo lie very sight of him, would ever make me ache. Judge NI'LEAN has been nominated lor the Presidency by the Dein ,, crats of Seneca Falls, N. Y. JunonfluvAL.—Ttits veneraWe Associ ate Justice of the Supreme Court of the U.

It having been rumored that the resignation which he had teLdered to the President, had been withdrawn, the re. port is contradicted by authority. CoNonrss.---In the SENATE, on Thurs day, Dec. 18, Mr. Tyler, in behalf of the Committee of Finance, presented a volumin ous Report on the subject of the Bank of the [Tinted States. The reading of the Re port occupied nearly three hours. It goes at large into an examination of the condition of the Bank, and is said to be an able paper. It was drawn up by Gov. Tyler. On a motion to print it, Mr. Benton rose, and at considerable length, controverted the cor rectness of some of its statements, which he pronounced false. Mr. Tyler replied, and averred in the most solemn manner, sa vs the National Intelligencer, the truth of the report; all the statements of which, he said, were founded on documents (submitted with the Report,) which could not lie. The Report was ordered to be printed.-- Vu. Herald. THE LEGISLATURE.—rIe Legislature adjourned on Saturday the 20th inst. to again on the sth ofJanuarv. This practice of adjourning during the holidays has been long established, and is now a custom; hut, we consider its origination as entirely wrong, and we believe it is unsatisfactory to the people. This 140 alone, shows the necessi ty of an amendment to the constitution, which requires the Legislature to meet on the first Tuesday of December. If the meeting took place on the first eflinuarv, the session would not be of longer continu ance than it is at present, and an equal a mount of business would be done—and as well done as it is now. We learn by letter that "the Legislature adjourned on Saturday at 7 o'clock in the morning, and thus no business was done on this day." "This" says the intelligent writer, "is one among the schemes of the present ruling faction, to swindle the people out of their money, and draw to their pockets the 'spoils of viCtory.' Another plan is the getting up of travelling cordmitlees, which annually cost the State some thousands of dollars, and for which the people are neither the wiser or better:—. There must be a complete reform, 'or reno vation of part ies,before the honest people car: emeet-aoy,,tbing.more favorable— .1 acumf7; ten tempted to become an Anti-Mason, merely to produce n reform of time corrup tion, that the present Federal party have in flicted upon the State." We advise the writer to think seriously upon this last pro position. There has been little business done yet, in the Legislature, as many of the most prominent men are upon the committee to enquire into the situation of the 'Eastern Ponitentiary.--Carlisle Vxpositor. probable that the Normandin has brought from Mr. Livingston to our government must possess considerable interest. He had, we may presume, aseertnined the disposit ion of the several cabinets respecting the excel]. tion of the Treaty. Our impression still is, that it was material for success, that the American question should be rendered im portant in the eves of the principal French statesmen of every party. In what we may term the violent estuation of domestic ques . - tions and party contests at Paris, our busi ness was merged, or disregarded compara tively."—Bultiraore Pat.
