REPUBLICAN BANNER.
BY ROBERT W. MIDDLETON.
GETTYSBURG, MARCH IA, 1835
On Saturday the 28th ult. the U. States
Senate, proceeded to elect a public printer
on the part of the Senate for the next Con.
greas —when, on the 17th ballot, Messrs.
Glans & SEATON, the Editors of the Na
tional Intelligencer, were elected.
Free Masonry sibmationed.
The following correspondence is respect
fully-sub-milted to the public. It speaks for
itself and cannot be misunderstood. Let
Antimasons persevere, and Masonry will
be "abandoned and surrendered :n good
faith and for, all time to come, as it ought
to be."
HARRISBURG, Feb. 14, 1835.
GENTLE3linv—It is probable you have
observed in the newspapers, a resolution a
dopted (on the 20th ult.) by the Antirna.
sonic Convention of Dauphin County, ap
pointing us "a Committee to correspond on
the subject of Freemasonry, with such
members of the Order as may be willing to
communicate information in relation there
to"—
Wo know, and we feel that it is a deli
cate matter to perform the duty enjoined by
that resolution, in a proper and suitable
manner. But we are encouraged to ad
dress you, our fellow townsmen, on this im
portant and delicate subject, by an assurance
'from a credible source, that you have long
since practically renounced Freemasonry :
and that you have no objection to make
known to the world your reasons for so do
ing --Also, that in truth and in honesty you
never have considered, or held (as many
Freemasons do) your Oaths and obligations
to the order paramount to the laws of GOD
. and of our Country.—Therefore any infor
mation you may be disposed to communi
cate, in relation to the order of Freemason
ry. or your connection with it, will be re-

GENTLEMEN—We have received your
note of the 14th instant, and cheerfully re
ply to it as we should hitherto have done to
e communication of similar candor from any
of our respectable neighbors.
You gentlemen who know us personally,
will believe us when we say that years age
we ceased to have any connection with the
order cif'. Masonry; if indeed men, who, like
us, were never in a lodge oftelier than a few
times, can be said to have had any practical
masonry about them. We took a few de
grees, took no such interest in it, as even to
learn its rites or object; and broke from it
with a fixed determination never to return.
It is very certain we shall remain dissolved
from it for ever. 'Such is in short and in
truth the beginning and and of our connec
tion, with this mysterious Institution. Of
course it is not in our power to give you new
information concerning it.
The oaths of the order were understood
by us to mean honorable engagements.—
They were represented to us as parts of
speculative rites, not binding in a literal
sense; and were distinctly impressed upon
us as not holding us to a course of conduct
in any manner repugnant to the laws of
GOD, or the municipal laws of our coun
try. Yet on reflection, we considered them
objectionable, as calculated to bias some
men is their relations of life, who might
construe them binding against the higher
duties of citizens towards one another.—
And this was our strongest motive for aban
doning masonry in the earliest stages of our
progress.
We can say further, that in our opinion
masonry is not worth preserving—certainly
not worth the sacrifice of individual well
being and public tranquility, necessary to
sustain it, especially as it can effect nothing
useful to society that other institutions of
the country do not supply. And in this
view of it, we think it ought to be surren
dered in good faith, and for all time to come.
Nothing short of this will remove from the
minds of the present generation the excite
ment against its members or the distrust of
their integrity in their transactions with the
rest of mankind. No benefit cambe derived
from it to counterbalance such disadvanta
ges—to keep it up therefore seems to us no
thing better than courting evil and mischief
to themselves.
Believe us gentlemen to be ,

ple their remarks, on questions of the deep
est interest, which are suppressed by the
Masonic Editors. The talents of the House
lie in the Anti-Masonic members,whilst the
Masonic party have the force of numbers,
and when they found that they could not
meet the Anti-Masonic party at all, in point
of talents, they determined to drive us from
the House, that the speeches of the Anti•
Masonic members should net go before the
public. This is a fact which no one who
regards truth will deny. We can prone
that members of the Masonic party said,

Mr. M'Elwee, that we should be drore from
that flail! That paragraph was only seiz•
ed hold upon as a battery behind which they
skuled whilst hurling their vengeance at

the Anti-Masonic party. If any have a dif
ferent impression, we assure them that they
are in error—the Masonic party have im•
posed upon them.—Har. Telegraph.
01110 RIVER NAVIOATION.—The editor
of the Pittsburg Gazette has given in a late
number of that paper, an account of the in
terruption in the navigation la the Ohio Riv
er, by ice and by low water, respectively,
during the last hve years. The following
are the tables showing the stoppages each
yeir and the aggregate for the five years:
In 1830, the interruption by ice, was a
bout 30 days; 1831, 62; 1832, 12; 1833, 5;
1834, 3—total 112. In 1830 interruption
by low water about 130; 1831, 44; 1832,
108; 1833, 64; 1834, 76--423. Total in
terruption by ice and low water 535 days.
It is gratifying, says that paper, to find
that the Interruption by ice, during these
five years, was less than four months. And
it well remarks that the obstruction by low
water may be remedied. Undoubtedly it
will be and must be remedied. The busi
ness wants of the country will soon make
this a matter of imperative necessity.
The Washington Glebe leaves its affida
vit makers, to the perpetration of which they
had been beguiled, to their miserable fate—
as will be seen by the following—and en
deavors to sneak ndt of ono of the most a
bominable attempts upon private character,
that is upon record:
From the Globe of February 28
"It will be seen from the report of the
chairman of the committee on Mr. Poindex
ter's case, that no suspicion justly attaches
to him from the affidavits of Stewart and
Foy, in relation to Lawrence's having been
seen at his house. Stewart, we understand,
was totally discredited by a host of witnesses,
and by his own contradictions. He brought
....Aro MS nectable witnesses to support his
=EA
lame and impotent conclusion."
A GRIPIVOUS PurirsirmErrr.—We men
tioned a few days ago, that an extraordinary
outrage had been recently committed at
New Orleans, by Mr. J. R. Grymes, on
Alcee Labranche, Esq., Speaker of the
Louisiana House of Representatives. He
first made an assault with a whip, and sub
sequently fired a pistol at the Speaker, in
the Representative Hall, about the hour of
opening the sitting of the House. The pro
-ceedings of the House in regard to this out
rage and broach of its privileges, occupied
two or three days—during which, Mr.,
Grynses being had up before it, conducted
his own defence, With the assistance of coun
sel. The progress of the trial, or rather
discussion, is given from day to day, in the
New Orleans Bee, and that paper of the 12th
inst. contains its termination. The act of
the assault was admitted by -Mr. Grymes,
though he oontended that it was before the
regular business hour of the House, and that
the resort to the pistol was a defensive mea
-sure, the Speaker having drawn and dis
charged a pistol at him immediately on be
ing assaulted with the whip. The judgment
of the House, in the matter of this high
handed outrage, was, that "Mr. Grymes
should be i•eprimanded by the Speaker pro
tem, which duty was discharged by Mr.
Penn, in a happy and felicitious manner."
This appears to be but a "lame and im
potent conclusion," and it strikes us that a
Legislative Assembly had better make no
attempt to assert its "privileges;" than to
punish so flagrant a "breach' of them in
such a manner.—Bali. Pat.
Massacre of Poles at Trieste.
TRIESTE, Dec. 30, 1934.
We have just witnessed in our town a
most horrible scene, which recalls the mas-
sacres of the Polls at Elbing and at Fis
chau. The King of Prussia will not be the
only one who can boast of being the most
devoted ally of the Autocrat. The assassin•
ation of - several peaceable refugees has pro
ved to Nicholas that the hangman of Vien
na is his intimate triend, and that he, Niel'.
alas, can emulate him in cruelty.
"Yesterday at ten o'clock at night, a
Pole, named Zoltowski, persecuted and re•
tained without any motive, in a dungeon,
escaped, and took refuge in a barrack, oc.
cupied by about 20 Poles, who were about
to depart for America. he instant after,
the Commissary arrived, and demanded that
the Pole who had escaped should be given
up to him. The Poles answered, that they
were ready to give him up, but that they
wished first to knew what would be his fate,
and on what authority the Commissary re
claimed him.
"The' Commissary, instead of replying,
and showing his mandate, went to fetch the
guard, and returned accompanied by chas•
more on foot, who rushed upon the disarmed
Poles, the greater number of whom had al
ready gone to sleep. They were brave on
this occasion, the Austrian soldiers! they
plunged with courage their bayonets into
the breasts of the Poles, who did not defend
themselves! MI would have been massa
cred, but For the pity of some serjeants who
arrested the fury of the officers and soldiers.
Three Poles, however, are now expiring of
mortal wounds. It is hoped that seven oth
ers, seriously wounded, will be saved.—
The unhappy Zaltowbki was again thrown
into irons, covered with the blood of his
countrymen.

Relations whiz France.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27
Mr. CA M BRELENG, from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, made the fol
lowing report; which was read:
"The Committee on Foreign Affairs, to
which was referred so much of the Pres'
dent's Message as concerns our political re,'
lations with I , ranee, and the correspondence
between the Ministers of the two Govern.
ments, submits the following report:
"At an early period of the session the
Committee took into consideration the ques
tion of authorizing reprisals, and continued
from time to time to dismiss various motions
and resolutions, submitted by its different
members. They could, however, concur in
no proposition; and, in that condition, a ma
jority deemed it expedient to postpone their
decision till further intelligence should be
received from France. The Committee
bad, within the week past, twice instructed
its chairman to report resolutions, but the
arrival of additional intelligence caused a
suspension of these reports until an ofliciAl
communication should be received from the
Executive. That communication pluces the
relations between the two countries in a nov•
el and interesting position. While there is
satisfactory evidence that the French Gov
ernment earnestly desires that the appropri
ation for indemnity should be made in pur
suance of the stipulations of the treaty; and
while there is reason to hope that the Cham
ber of Deputies will adopt that measure,and
faithfully discharge the obligations of France
to the U. States; it is on the other hand to
be feared that the conduct of that Govern
ment, has placed us in a position at least em
barrassing, even should it not produce an en
tire suspension of diplomatic intercourse be
tween the two nations. In this new positidn
of our relations, it is deemed expedient to
dispense with further discussion on the sub
ject of non-intercourse with, and reprisals
on the commerce of France, to which the
attention of the Committee had been diroc-
ofour minister, nor uttli wt.+
may be the fate of the appropriation in the
Chamber of Deputies.
"While the Committee isunwilling to an
ticipate any but an amicable and favorable
result in both cases, it must be recollected
that the King and Chamber may decide ad
versely to the interests and harmony of the
two nations. Such a decision on the part
of France, however it may be regretted by
the People of both countries, who have groat
and growing interests, commercial and po
litical, to cherish, may lead to a result upon
which the Committee while in doubt, and
while a hope remains, will not enlarge.
"The Committee is, therefore, of opinion
that at such a crisis, when events may occur
which cannot be anticipated, and which may
lead to important consequences in our exter
nal relations, it would not discharge its duty
to the country, if it did not express a firm
resolution to insist on the full execution of
the Treaty of 1881, and if it did not recom
mend to the House a contingent preparation
for any emergency which may grow out of
our relations with France previous to the
next meeting of Congress. It is a gratifying
circumstance that our means are adequate
to meet any exigency without recourse to
loans and taxes. The bill now before the
House authorizing the sale of our stock in
the Bank of the United States would, if a
dopted, aferd all the revenue necessary.—
The Committee is of opinion that tho whole
or a part, of the fund to be derived from
that source, should be appropriated for the
purpose of arming our fortifications, and for
making other military and naval prepara
tions fer the defence of the country, in case
such expenditures should become necessary
before the next meeting ofCongress.
"The Committee therefore submits the
following resolutions for the consideration
of the House:
"Resolved, That it would be incompati
ble with the rights and honor ofthe United
States, further to negotiate in relation to the
treaty entered into by France, on the 4th of
July, 1831, and that this House will insist
upon its execution, as ratified by bath Gov
ernments.
"Resolved, That the Committee on For
eign Affairs be discharged from the further
consideration of so much of the President's
Message as relates to commercial re•
strictions, or to reprisals on the commerce of
France.
"Resolved, That the contingent prepara
tion ought to be made to meet any emergen.
cy growing out of our relations with France."
Mr. E. EVERETT asked permission of
the House to submit to the views of 'the mi
nority of committee in a report. As it was
somewhat long, he would not call for its
rending at this time. The minority did not,
he said, essentially differ in their views of the
subject from the majority; but on one or two
points they did not fully concur with the
majority, and they had thought it proper to
take,a more full and historical , view of the
subject than bad been taken by the majority.
[The report of the Minority is so very
long, that we can only make • room for ~,the'
closing paragraphs, which embrace the con
clusions of the Committee.]
"Since the foregoing views on this im
portant question were prepared, a message
has been sent by the President, to the House
of Representatives, and referred to this
' Committee, containing official intelligence
of the recall of the French Minister; of the
tender of passports made to Mr. Livingston,
by the French Minister of Foreign A ffairs;
and of the presentation of a bill, for the axe.
cotton of the treaty, to the Chamber of De
puties. The President also informs the
House, that he has directed Mr. Livingston
to leave France with the legation, in case
the bill for executing the treaty, should he
rejected by the Chamber. Notwithstanding
these occurrences, Mr. Li viiigsteri, from the
full means of information possessed by him
at Paris, expresses the opinion that the bill
will become a law. On the supposition that
such may be the thct, the incidents conneo.
ted with the interruption of the usual diplo
matic intercourse between the two countries,
do not seem to require the legislative action
of Congress, especially as the Executive has
taken the steps which were deemed proper
on the occasion.
"It is not to be expected that, in the few
days which remain of the session, official
intelligence will reach us, that the question
is finally disposed of. The undersigned are
willing, with the American Minister at Pa
ris, to ai.ticipate, that the bill for executing
the treaty will become a law. The contra
ry, however, is possible, and in this event,
the action of Congress will he required. It
is however, all times difficult to provide for
events future and contiugent,with great pre
cision, by acts of provisional legislation. It'
no other objection existed to such legisla
tion, a strong one would grow out of the
want of time properly to mature the melt-
, urea which might be suggested.
"Should no intelligence reach us before
the close of the session, requiring the imme
diate action of the Legislature, the subject
will be at the disposal of the succeeding
Congress. It any thing should occur to
make it necessary that they should act upon
it before the usual time of their assembling,
the President has the power to call an extra
session. Those measures ofsecurity which
prudence at all times dictates, and which
belong to the general care of the public safe
ty have already, at the present session, re
ceived the attention of the appropriate com
mittees and of Congress, and the undersign.
ed are prepared cheerfully to co-operate in
any further measures of the same character
which the wisdom of Congress may sanction.
"Nothing seems left, therefore, in the ap
proaching dissolution of the present Con
gress but to consign the whole subject to
the consideration of the people at large—
vidence. In respectfully submitting these
views of the question, the undersigned will
only add, as a closing sentiment, that they
fully concur in what they believe to be the
unanimous opinion of the present Congress,
that the treaty of the 4th of July, 1831,
should be maintained, and its execution in
sisted on at all hazards, and such, they doubt
not, is the sense of the whole country.
EDWARD EVERETT,
ROBT. P. LETCHER,
R. COULTER."
Oz rln the House on the Qd inst. after a
long debate, the following resolution, offered
by Jour; QUINCY ADAMS was unanimoubly
adopted—Yeas, 210; Nays, none—viz:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
House, the treaty of the 4th of July, 1831,
should be maintained and its execution in•
sisted on.
The National Intelligencer states that the
"annunciation of this vote from the Chair
was received with a loud and spontaneous
burst of applause, which broke at once from
the galleries, and was re-echoed from the
floor, making the walls and dome of the
chamber to resound with joy, while mutual
congratulations passed in all directions."
The question was then taken on the fol
lowing resolutions reported by the Commit
lee on Foreign Relations, and unanimously
agreed to:
Resolved, That the Committee on For
eign Affairs be discharged from the further
consideration of so much of the President's
Message as relates to commercial restric
tions, or to reprisals on the commerce of
France.
Resolved, That preparation ought to be
made to meet any emergency growing out
of our relations with France.
KT The National Intelligencer of Wed
nesday last contains the following artielo on
OUR AFFAIRS WITH FRANCE.
It is a source of great satisfaction that, in
regard to the only question concerning our
Foreign Relations which was presented to
Congress in the Annual Message of the Pre
sident of the United States, at the commence
ment of the session of Congress, which has
just closed, both Houses of Congress have
been UNANIMOUS. Both have expressed tho
opinion that the execution of the treaty of
1831 ought to be insisted upon, and both
came to the unanimous determination that
it was not expedient to carry into effect the
recommendations of the President's message
in relation to that subject. Such was the
direct declaration of the Senate, and such
the effect of the unanimous vote of the House
of Represectatives, after passing its declara
tory resolution, to discharge the Committee
of Foreign Relations from the farther con.
sideration of that recommendation.
We hope, however, that the proceedings
of the two Houses will not be interpreted,
any where, into a disposition to submit quiet.
ly to a refusal, by France, to execute the
treaty. Such a view of the refusal by Con
gress now to act upon that hypothesis,would
be a great error. Congress have expressed
a confidence in the good faith of France.—
They will not anticipate any necessity for
legislation in reference to this business of
the treaty; but they will legislate, never
theless, should it hereafter appear that there
is no intention to carry the treaty into
feet. It does not follow, however—Heaven
forbid that it should!—that the effect or con
sequence of that legislation will be WAR.
We hope that evil is at least us fiir distant
from us us the next Presideut MI Election.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot
WASHINGTON, March 2, 4 P. M
I will try to hold you informed of the do
ings of Congress to-day, as well as I may
before the mail closes. But I think the ses
sion of the two houses will be too lute to en
able me to give you a full report to-night.
It is a busy day indeed.
The first business of the morning was the
discussion ofthe resolution providm,g, for the
supply of the new members of the Senate
with Gales & Seaton's Register of Debates,
heretofore ordered by Congress. Mr. Ben
ton took the lead in opposition to the reso
lution, puffed Isaac Hill, Ihr reading the
speeches—raved about the Bank—drivel
le4,a6out hard money—abused Gales and
Seaton—declared the spending of money to
perpetuate a legislative history of our coun
try, a profligate expenditure, and piled his
desk with books and papers, from which to
speechify. All this parade was cut off by a
quiet disposition of the whole subject, on
motion of one of our friends, who proposed
to lay it on the table.—lt will be resumed
next session.
The Senate then took up the appropria
tion proposed by the Committee of Finance,
and passed several amendments. Mr. Web
ster proposed striking out the oppropriation
for Minister's outfit and salary, to the Court
of St. James: and supported his motion very
ably & with much interest. Mr: Clay, Mt.
Clayton, and Mr. Bibb, aided in its support.
Mr. Shepley was opposed to this amend•
mont, as were Messrs. King of Alabama,
and others of the party.
The advocacy of the amendment pro
ceeded altogether on the ground of the un
constitutionality of a President's appointing
a Minister to England in the coming recess,
to fill a vacancy occurring in a past vaca
tion, without the concurrence of the Senate,
a course which it was fair to deduce, it was
his intention to take, from his past construc
tion of his constitutional powers, and from
the filet that he had sent to the Committee
of Finance, an estimate, en which the ap
propriation was put into the bill reported by
that Committee. Besides this, the delicate
relations existing between us and France,
were alluded to as a reason why a Minister,
-JSMIUIII was very interesurg.—
The British Minister (Sir Charles Vaugh
an) was present, and took much interest in
the debate. The rumor is he will go home
immediately, should no appointment be
made by our government.
The Senate adjourned for an hour.
The House are yet in discussion. They
have been talking on the French matters all
day. Edward Everett made a capital speech.
I will tell you if any thing more occurs of
interest before the mail closes. If not, by
to morrow's mail you shall receive further
intelligence.
Half past 7 o'clock, P. M
Just time to tell you (what I will more
particularly detail to-morrow,) that Senator
GEORGE POINDEXTER has just been
11rNANDIOUSLY, relieved of the gross charge
made against him by the hired and pension
ed "certifiers," who endeavored to ruin him.
I will give you a synopsis of the evidence
accompanying the Report of the Commit
tee to-morrow.
From the National Intelligeneer of March 5.
Last day of the Session—Unfinished Bu
siness— West Point Academy—Loss
of the Fortification Bill.
The two Houses of Congress adjonned,
the night before last, their functions then
ceasing:and what a wreck ofpublic business
ensued!
In our two or three last papers we ex
pressed our opinion respecting the state of
public business in the House of Representa
tives. It would have been as just, had our
intimation respected the state of the House.
With a great deal of talent, and we have
no doubt, too, a great deal of patriotism, the
late House of Representatives had been
brought into a condition, by various causes
in which it seemed incapable of getting en
with the business of the country. Atten
tive observers have noticed a tendency of
this kind, from the early part of the session;
but its last days forced the truth on the
minds of all. Long debates; the endless
perplexity of the rules; contests, every mo
ment, about priority of business; and eager
ness of discussion, which seemed entirely to
disregard the comparative importance of
subjects, were among these causes. There
were others, of which we could speak, of
which indeed we shall feel it our duty to
speak, and to speak freely, hereafter; but
which we at present forbear to mention.
The melancholy result of the whole is,
that Congress has broken up, leaving al
most every great measure of the session un
finished, and therefore totally null and void.
The following bills, originating in the Sen
ate, most of then' passing that body by large
majorities, and some of them quite ; unani•
timely, have shared the general wteck and
ruin:
TIIE POST OFFICE R EFOEM BILL; (pas
sed unanimously in the Senate.)
THE CUSTOM HORSE REGULATIONS BILL;
(passed nearly unanimously in the Senate.)
. The important JtiniciArtir BILL; (passed
by a vote of 31 to 5 in thilSenute.)
TILE IhLL ncovi.A.T.L:vo THE DEWOSITE
OF TUE PUBLIC AIONEV3 IN THE DEPOSITS
Mtrais;
I:11E BILL RESPECTING TILE TENURE OF
OFFICE, ANL) REMOVALS FROM OFFICE; (a.
most important bill, supported in the Senate
by men or all part it.a.)
THE BILL INDEMNIFYING CLAIMANTS
FOR FRENCH SPOLIATIONS, BEFORE 1800.
These halldozen, (not to speak of the bill
fbr the relief of the Cities of the District of
Columbia; the bill providing for the increnze
of• the Corps of Engineers; the Bill to carry
into effect the Convention between the U.
States and Spain; and the bill to improve the
navigation of the Mississippi in the vicinity
of• St. Louis,) are among the bills which
were suns from the Senate to the House of
Representatives, 'and never heard of more.'
The fate of two of the Appropriation
Bills, however, originating, as such bills al
s do, in the House of Representatives;
is still more remarkable.
Hitherto it has been usual to make ap
propriations for the Military Academy at
West Point in the same hill which contains
the general appropriation for the Army.—
This year an innovation was indulged. The
Army Appropriation Bill was sent to the
Senate with no appropriation whatever for
West Point. This circumstance was noti
ced, at the time, in the Senate, and its at
tention called to it, as an extraordinary e
mission. A separate bill, however, contain
ing the usual appropriations for the Acade.
my, was brought forward in the House, but
sulThred to sleep. Up to the last day for
sending bills from one House to the other,
it had not passed. The House took no step
whatever to pass the Bill, by suspending the
operation of the rule, as to the time of send
ing bills from House to House, or in any
other way. In this predicament, individu
als of the f louse besought the Committee of
the Senate to interfere, and, in some extra.
ordinary way, help to pass the ordinary ap
propriation through Congress, The Sen
ate, accordingly, attached the whole Milita
ry Academy appropriation bill to the bill
making provision tier the Civil and Diplo
mac Expenditures of the year, and in this
form it passed into a law,.and, but for the
adoption of this \ mode, there could have
been no appropriation at all, and the school
would have bean broken up. We may add
that, when this bill for covering Civil and
Diplomac Expences went hack to the House,
with amendments, the occasion was eagerly
seized to add to the Senate's amendments
other amendments, respecting totally differ
ant matters, thus giving the bill a tail as
long as that of a comet. Thus the bill,
pending in the House, making provision for
the repairs of the Capitol and President's
gardener, &c. &c. was tacked on to the bill,
as being among the civil and diplomac ex
_r _
J4..” , ./*".,..4J Liiv tritnot 1,1 610 two
appropriation bills, to which we have allu
ded above. THE FonrwicATiorf BILL IS
TOTALLY LOST! Yes, in this very critical
moment of alliiirs, not only lies no new mea
sure of defending the country been adopted,
but the bill for the usual annual appropria
tion for Fortifications is totally lost! We
can hardly credit ourselves . when we write
this paragraph. Yet such is the fact; not
a dollar is appropriated to fortifications, and
we doubt whether it he not the bounden du.•
ty of the President to call the new Congress
at the earliest day possible. Certainly—
most certainly—such is the duty, it he has
any reasonable apprehension whatever of
hostilities with a foreign nation.
We will state shortly the history of this
bill. It came from the House to the Sen
ate, and all its provisions were agreed to by'
the Senate's Committee. Various additions
were also made to it by the Committee, in
pursuance ofcommunications from the War
Department, and reports from the Military
Committees of the two Houses. Large
sums were added for the better defence of
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, &c. and an
additional amount for arming all the fortifi
cations. When it appeared that the De
partment had no further measures to recom
mend, the Committee reported the bill, the
Senate agreed to the amendments, and the
bill was returned to the House, with the a
mendments, on Tuesday, the 24th day of
February.
The House did not take up the Senate's
amendments till the last day of the session,
one whole week after the Senate had sent
them; and on that day, at half past El o'clock
in the evening, they returned the bill to the
Senate, having agreed to some of the Sen
ate's amendments, disagreed to others, and
agreed to others,
again, with amendments
of their own. The loss of the whole bill
was finally caused by one of these last a
mendments; and, therefore, we have taken
pains to collect the facts, precisely as they
a ppea rion the journals & in the proceedings.
One of the''amendments, proposed by the
Senate, was the addition of the following
sections :
"Sec. —. And he it further enacted, That the
sum of seventy-five thousand dollars be, and the
same in hereby appropriated, toward the repair of
the fortifications on Castle Island, in the harbor
of Boston,
according to the plan submitted by the
Board of Engineers, on the thirteenth day or
March, eighteen hundred and thirty-four; the
same to be paid out ninny money in the Treasury
not otherwise appropriated.
"Sec.—. And be it further enacted, That the
gain of one hundred thousand dollars ho, and the
same is hereby appropri,ated, out of any money in
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be
applied m expended under the direction of the
Secretary of War, in improving the defences
within the State of Maryland,
"Sec. —. And he it further enacted, That the
Secretary of War be, and he is hot eby authorized,
to purchase six acres of land adjoining Fort Mc.
-Henry, near Baltimore, being the same rented
front the heirs of the late Philip Swarizanco, and
mow.occupted for military purposes; and that he
cause the same to ho paid for from the funds ap.
pro , priated for the service of the Quarter.master's
Department."
To this the House agreed, adding the fol
lowing as an amendment, viz :
"And be it, .ST. That tho P um of TITEZEE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS be, and the same is
hereby appropriated out of any money in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be ox.
pendcd, in whole, or in part, under the direction
of the President of the United States, for the mil
itary and naval service, including tbrtifications
and ordnance, and increase of tho Navy: Provi
ded, such expenditures shall be necessary for the
defence of the country prior to the Pelt mooting
of Congress."
W hen this came to the Senate, the above
extraordinary section was opposed, as con
ferring on the President unlimited military
power. It was said, he had asked for no
such power—the War Department had re
commended no such appropriation—it hnd
never been suggested, any where, until this
late moment. It was urged that the section
itself was altogether indefensible, inasmuch
as it proposed to give a vast sum into the
hands ofthe President, without any. pecific
object, leaving it to him to use it as he might
please. He might levy troops—he might
raise an army—he might send forth the na
vv—he might, in short, dispose of the mo
ney just as ho should see fit. It was a
verred, on the other side, that the President
would certainly do no harm with the motley
—he would use the power to good ends,&c.;
and to this it was replied, again, that such a
power had never been trusted to any Presi
deut; that it was not to be thought of, with
out giving up all notiun of the authority of
Congress over the expenditure of the public
money, and indeed all its control over the
question of Peace and War. The Senate
disagreed to this vote for the three millions
of dollars; and hero are the yeas and nays
on the mutton to disagree to it.
YEAS.—Messrs. Bell, Bubb, Calhoun, Clayton,
Clay, Ewing, Frelinglinysen,Goldsborough, Hen

Chanel], Cuthbert, Hill, Kane, King, of
Alabama, King, of Georgia, Linn, McKean, Mor
ris, Robinson, Ruggles, Shepley, Tallmadge, Tip
ton, Wright-19.
The bill went back to the House. The.
House insisted on its amendment, and again
returned the bill to the Senate. The Senate
voted to adhere to its disagreement; and
here are the yens and nays on that vote:
EAS.—Messrs. Bell, Ribb, Calhoun, Clayton,
Clay, Ewing, Frelinghuyson,Goldsborough, Hen
dricks, Kent, Knight, Leigh, Mangum, Moore,
Naudain, Poindexter, Porter, Prentiss, Preston,

Cuthbert, Grundy, Hill, Kane, King, of Alabama,
King, of Georgia, Linn, M'Koan, Ruggles, Robin
son, Shepley, Talhnadge, Tipton, Wright.-17.
The House, upon this, asked a conference
with the Senate, which was immediately
agreed to and Committees were appointed
on both sides. The two Committees met,
without delay,and agreed, as we understood,
very soon, to report to their respective
Houses, that the amendment of the House
should be struck out, or gives up, and the
following appropriation inserted in its place:
"As an additional appropriation for arming the
fortifications of tho U. States, three hundred thou
sand dollars.
"As an additional appropriation for the repairs
and equipment of the ships of war of tho U. States,
five hundred thousand dollars."
The Senate's Committee immediately re
ported to the Senate this happy agreement
of the two Committees on this important bill,
and all seemed well. But the bill was in
the hands of the House, (according to the
usual course in such cases,) and the Senate
waited to hear its decision. No communi
cation coming from the House, however, and
it being already past 11 o'clock, the Senate,
fearing for the fate of this bill, and desirous
of pressing its great importance upon the at
tention of the House, sent them the following
at it,
.ngth
i no
) the
kopt
message:
"Resolved, That a message be sent to the Hon
orable the House of Representatives, respectfully
to remind the House of the report of the Commit.
tee of Conference, appointed on the disagreeing
votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the
House to the amendment of the Senate, to the bill
respecting the fortificattons of the United States."
When this Message was read in the
House, we learn (for we were not present)
that the Chairman of the Committee ofCon
ference (Mr. CAMBRELENO,) said he had not
taken, or should not take, the responsibility
of presenting the Report of the two Com
mittees, on account of the lateness of the
hour, or the thinness of the House—or for
both reasons—addiirg, also, that he was him
self agairad the Report. Therefore, Mr.
Lewis, the next named on the Committee,
made a report of the concurrence of the two
Committees. The subject was thus again
before the House; and, as to what then en
sued,for the next hour or two, as we did not
see it,we Will not venture to describe it from
hearsay. We learn ? however, that the Sen
ate, having waited still a good while longer,
in hopes of hearing from the House, and not
hearing, sent still another message, inform•
ing the House, that they, the Senate, had no
further business before thorn. No answer
coining to this message, the Senate, after
waiting a considerable time longer, and
hearing nothing from the bill, finally ad
journed—and the bill, therefore, is !Emma
-1,17 LOST.
We have time for no more--nor spirits
for any more—at present, though it will be
. our duty to state, herearter, other things
which we have heard and believe, respect
ing the causes of the loss of these essential
measures.
The attendance ofSenators was remarka-
ble, the whole evening, as it had een the
day and night previous. A little before 12
o'clock, the last night, forty-six Sentitors an
swered to their names, and , the remaining
two were in their seats the minute after
wards, so that every Senator was at his post
to the last moment. Such a thing has pro
bably never occurred before.
During the exchange of salutes between
the brig of war arrived to take home M.
Surrurier, and the forts of the harbor at N.
York, a gentleman observed,—"l see hos
tilities have actually commenced;—the en
emy are actually firing upon us." "0! the
shots are only out of French ship," (friend
whip) was the reply.—Star.

Nomination of Joseph Ritner.
Or - On Wednesday last, the Delegates to
the Anti-Masonic State Convention assem
bled at 11 o'clock A. M. at Harrisburg, and
organized by appointing the Hon. JAMES
WILSON, of Adams, President pro tem.
and SAMUEL M. BARCLAY, of Bedford, and
CHARLES T. JODUed, of Philadelphia, Secre
taries-116 appeared, and took their seats.
The Convention then made choice of the
following officers—
PRESIDENT,
NER MIDDLESWARTR, of Union.
VICE-PRESIDENTS,
JOHN GEST, of Philadelphia,
DAVID LEECH, of Armstrong,
Joitiv BORROWES, of Lycoming,
ICHAEL KAUFMAN, of Lancaster,
W MUMS AUDENREID, of Schuylkill,
MAxwELL KINKEAD, of Huntingdon.
SECRETARIES,
Samuel V. Barclay, of Bedford,
Charlea T. Joneti, of Philadelphia,
Samuel B. M'Kenzie, of Pittsburg,
George W. Smith, of Butler.
A Committee was then appointed to lay
before the Convention the proper business
for its consideration, after which the Con
vention adjourned to meet again at 3 o'clock
P. M. At the appointed time, the Conven
tion again assembled, and at 4 o'clock went
into a nomination tor Governor, which re
sulted in the UNANIMOUS choice of
JO BEl'll RITWER.
On announcing the result, it was received
with enthusiastic applause by the very large
and respectable audience who were in the
Courthouse at the time.
On Thursday evening, after the transac
tion of various business, (all of whieh will,
at an early day, be given to our readere,) the
Convention adjourned, sine die.
We were present during the sittings e
the Convention, and feel much pleasure in
being able to state, that the greatest una•
nimity prevailed throughout, both in the
choice of a candidate for Governor and in
the transaction of all the ether business
which came before the Convention; and that
the members separated under flattering pros.
pects, and with a determination to use all
honorable means to elect the gentleman
whom they had unanimously selected as
their candidate for the office of Governor of
this great Commonwealth.
1!* - The "Union and Harmony Boys,"
alias, "the Democrats," assembled in Har
risburg, early on Wednesday morning last,
for the purpose of nominating a candidate,
or candidates, for Governor, and late in the
evening, succeeded ii making choice of pro
per officers for the Convention—after which
they adjourned until Thursday morning.—
They then again met, and were proceeding,
or trying to proceed with their business,
when it was whispered, that the ‘Anties' be
low them were quietly shaking the pillars
of their Temple, and that the downfall of
the Lodge was anticipated! The conse
quence was a, general rush of the brethren
fot the door and windows of the Ark—but
we are happy to be able to state, that, al-
though the brethren were mightily fright.
ened, yet no one was injured, and that it
was thought only an "omen" of what is to
befall the Lodge on the 2d Tuesday of Oc
tober next. However, be that as it may,
had the pillars given way, the downfall and
destruction of Masonry would have been
great,as the fl ower of the Order from eve
eve-
ry part of the State, were present.
The "boys" again met at three - o'clock,
when a stormy debate arose on the question
of dissolution, which took up the balance of
day,tho and was negatived at candle-light—
ayes 42, nays 47—the Wolf men voting in
the negative, and the Muhletiberg men vo
ting in the affirinati ve. They then adjourn
ed until Friday morning at 9 o'clock.—
Having left Harrisburg on Friday morning
before they met, we are unable to give the
result ()falls Kilkenny battle.
P. S. We learn that the above Conven
tion was dissolved on Friday last—that a
portion met in caucus and nominated Wolf,
and that those of the brethren opposed to
his nomination, are to meet is Lewistown,
in May next, to select a person to be sup
ported by those of "the party" opposed to
Gov. Wolf.
KrThe Harrisburg Intelligencer of
Wednesday says :
Almost all the Judges in the Common
wealth, the Canal Commissioners, Canal
Superintendents, Supervisors, Lock Keep
ers, Prothonotaries, Registers and Record
ers, and those who want their places, are in
Town. Mr. Irish, on Monday offered a
resolution in the House to inquire into their
business! The etlilct upon those gentle
men in the lobby and galleries can better be
imagined than described.
The following is the resolution alluded to
by the Intelligencer:—
Resolved, That the Canal Commission
ers be, and they are hereby required to fur
nish to this house forthwith, a list of the
Superintendents, Supervisors, Collectors,
Lock Keepers and other officers or agents
of the Canals and Rail Roads, who are uow
in the Borough of Harrisburg, and what du•
ty or public business requires their. to be
now in said Borough, and what is the daily
compensation which they receive from the
State.
Masonic Oaths.
In the House, on Tuesday last, (we learn
from the Telegraph) the resolutions of Mr.
STEVENS, relative to Masonic oaths,
came
up in order: On the motion, will the House
proceed to the consideration, the Yeas and
Nays were called, when lo! the Masonic
party refused to consider them, by a vote of
48 to 26, as had been previously agreed up
on. Thus the gag law, was applied to the
debate. The friends of Masonry exhibited
great gratification at this, but their joy was
ashen continuance. Mr. STEVENS imme
diately arose, and moved that the petitions
presented to the Legislature, for an investi
gation of Masonry,-be referred to a select
committee, with power to send for persons
and papers. This motion defied the appli
cation of the gag law, and on it Mr. Ste
vens opened the whole mystery, iniquity
and corruptions of Masonry, in a speech of
two hours length, of great power and elo
quence, although he labored under an appa
rent .difficulty of speaking from a sore
throat. He was followed by Messrs. Basra
mid WALKER, on the Same side, both of
whom attacked the Masonic institution in so
eloquent and forcible a manner,: as seemed
to leave scarce a vestige of her hypocrisy
to hide herself with. Their speeches were
highly creditable; and wore listened to by
the audience with great attention, and ap.
parent satisfaction. The lobbies and gal
leries and even the floor and aisles of the
House were filled with spectators. The
gallery was crowded as densely as men could
stand, and exhibited, perspectively, a solid
mass of heads.
It will rejoice many of our readers to
know, that a hill has passed the House of
Delegates at Virginia, guarantying a loan
of Half a Million of Dollars for the CHES
APEAKE AND OHIO CANAL CO3IPANY, and
that strong hopes are entertained that it will
also pass the Senate of that State.
A bill has also been reported in the House
of Delegates of Maryland guarantying Two
Millions for the same object, with every
reason to expect it will become a law.
With these prospects, may we not hope
soon to be able to lift oar heads above the
clouds which have so long hung over us?
A wrimAsornc NOMINATION.—At a meet

Paez had been elected. Some delay in the
election took place in consequence of two of

having been found ineligible.
ABNER KNEELAND.—We learn from the
Roston Advocate, that at ono of , the first
ballotings for Senator. in the House of Rep
resentatives of Massachusetts, 14 members
voted for Abner Kneeland. And these same
fourteen, at the last ballot, voted for John
Davis!!! .

the other to Messrs. Horton & Tammany,

The resources of Prance for war may be
partially imagined from the fact that its
population arnounis to 32,560,934. Of
this number, 1,625,270 are found in the
eight principal cities. Paris contains 774,-
338; and the next highest on the list is Ly
ons, which contains 292,370. There are
1,620 smaller towns, containing 7,209,855;
and 35,394 little communes, or country dis
tricts, which contains 23,725,809 inhabit

FATAL
TII FAIT ICAL AcctriExT.—Ayoung
man named J. J. McLaughlin, belonging to
a Thespian company in Nashville, 'retie.
was wounded on his left breast, while per
forming in the character ofßertram, a short
time since, and died in a day or two after
wards. He had been living near Hopkins
ville, Ky. but his, widowed mother is stated
to reside in Lancaster, Pa.
HURRICANE IN MISSISSIPPI.-A burn
cane passed over the town of Liberty, in
Mississippi, on the ntglit of the 4th ult.
which prostrated almost every thing in its
path, and destroyed several valuable lives.
Mr John Hull, and his daughter Elizabeth,
wore killed, and M rs. Hall and a negro girl
wore d,-.lngerously injured. A Negro wo
man had a leg broken. A large number of
houses and out-buildings were overthrown
and destroyed. Mr. Hall was a highly re
spectable gentleman, and useful citizen.—
He leaves a large family to lament his un
timely death.
GAMBLPIIIB.—The Philadelphia Inquirer
states that, within the last week or so, the
Mayor had broken up four or five of the
principal gambling houses in that city. He
way not yet wearied in well doing, but da
te:mined to persevere in his warfare against
these pestilent establishments. - The Inqui
rer says it is cow generally admitted that
Col. Swim, the present Mayor, is one of
the most efficient officers that Philadelphia
ever had. To this we may add, that if he
shall be able to work out a thorough and
lasting reform, in the matter alluded to, lie
will deserve from his fellow-citizens, a statue
of gold.
POISONING FOR Lovis.—A young man by
the name of Smith, of Hatfield, for whom
"the course of true love never did ran
smooth," undertook to put an end to his
pangs, on Monday week, by arsenic.. His
I:Udine lived in Hadley, where he sought
her for the last time, and told the stoiy of
his love. It was Sunday night, that witch
ing time for lovers. She was obdurate, up
on which the enamorado, in her presence,
drew from his pocket that sentimental and
compendious instrument, with which he had
so ofterrcut his bread and cheese—a jack
knife—and gave the Indy due notice that he
should proceed to cut his throat. She did
not (like some other damsel) request him to
wait till she could get a pail, for fear of hav
ing blood spilt upon the floor, but inhuman
ly interposed and prevented the mad act.—
He came to this town, and purchased a cou
ple ofounces of poison"for rats," went home
and being disappointed in "opening the ju
gular," proceeded to stuff it with arsnic.—
The dose was enormous, and operated as an
emetic so suddenly, that he escaped death.
He has been quite sick, however. We hope
he will live long enough to repent the sin
and folly of dying for love. Aside from its
great wickedness, the young .an should
know that it is quite out of fashion. If a
lady refuses now•a-days, the gentleman
merely requests her to change the subject,
and it is all ovor.—Hampshire Gazette.
A JOIE.—On Tuesday a traveller play
ed off a singular trick upon the landlord of
an inn, near Rochdale. Having taken din
ner and a bottle of wine, he fell into cenver
sation with the landlord, and said be could
teach him how to draw threepenny and the
best ale out of the same cask. Boniface
was, of course, desirous to learn so profita
ble an art; and the parties descended into
the cellar, taking with them a large gimb
let. The traveller bored a hole in one end
of an 18 cask of beer, and requested the
landlord to place his finger upon the hole;
he then bored a hole in the other end of the
cask, and requested the landlord to place
his finger upon that. He then laft the cel
lar, under pretence of fetching his apparatus
and decamped, leaving the landlord with
his fingers fully employed in takinc , b care of
his beer, and minus dinner and a bottle of
wine. When the landlord's patience was
exhausted in waiting, he called for assist
ance, got the holes of the cask stopped, and,
in future, will be satisfied to draw one sort of
beer out of one cask.—Half ax Express.
