The wondering grqup witnessed his con• duet in silence.

Just then old Bose, who, when the sailor Sat came in s!ght, he disposed to regard hint as as enemy, appeared to have over come his combative propensities, and much to the surprise of the children, seemed sect denlyto have conceived the most lively at •taehment to the "poor straggler." He traigord his tail with unwonted energy, ab- Whitely danced around his'', whined forth his joy m the most expressive manner, and continued the pantonune by jumping into his lap and attempting to lick his face! • The stranger hardly attempted to repulse , the affectionate animal—but gently patting . bighead, addressed him with the endearing epithet of -"poor old Bass'--adding. "you have not forgotten me." He then raised his head, took his hand from his forehead, removed his hat, and, brushed away the long locks which partly concealed his features. His -voice seemed to have touched a chord in the !bosoms of persons present, which had long ceased to vibrate. The eyes of Deacon Willis and his wife were turned upon him in eager ex pectation. Mary Wadsworth started—the rose on bercheek gave place to the lilly— and her deep-seated and pure love proved more quick-sighted than even parental af fection. She gazed upon him with a look in which joy and surprise wero blended— and met - his glance, which beamed with tenderness and rapture—expressingthe fru ition Of enjoyment. Her maidenly reserve was conquered by her surprise and joy at beheading before her a dear one whom she bad bag mourned as forever lost. "It is' my =am Edward!" said she, and threw here:Uinta his armi." The scene which followed may be ima gined but cannot be described—nor shall I attempt it. There was no longer any alloy in the enjoyment of that happy family—and Deacon Willis. albeit always noted :or his piety-, never offered up a thanksgiving pray er with greater fervency and sincerity than on tins occasion. After dinner was over, Edward bad a long tale to tell, to lwhich his auditors listened with breathless atten tion, oldie penis and sufferings he had ex perienced dining the previous three years. The vessel in which be had sailed for South America had been suspected of carrying on a cootratemd trade—and the crew were all condemned to the mines for life. Edward, with two of his companions, at the imminent risk ohm life succeeded in effecting his es cape, and had worked his passage home in a vessel bowel to Providence. Misfortune etilleurased him ; the vessel was wrecked so Block Island, during a heavy gale, and be, after a desperate struggle with the waves,mcceeded in gaming the shore. He lost op time in proceeding to- Providence in a fidimg craft, when be took his land tacks on board—and wearied, hungry, destitute of money and clothes, a poor shipwrecked sailor : Edward Willis at length reached his home. "And yea are welcome home, my boy," examined Ins kther—"and 1 hope you will never again leave us." Edward looked at Mary, who blushed like a peony. "I see how the wind sits," said the wor thy Tlearxe--"Come hither, Mary Wads worth." Mary !nth trembling steps, approached her guardian.

JERSEY MEMBERS. From the Richitiond - NYhig. .The Tory presses labor to conceal the true question in the New-Jersey case.— There are but, one set of returns, and those the Whig members have. They are in ev ery particular precisely what the law re quires, and aro, word for word, such as the New-Jersey membe; have ever presented heretofore, and no one has questioned. The Tory members have no returns. If there were no other claimants, they have no authority whatever to entitle them to a seat for a single moment. They merely have n certificate from a subordinate officer in N. Jersey, unknown to the law, which states that all the votes givt a at the election were not forwarded by the Clerks to the Geyer nor. Of the character oC.their claim, some idea may be formed from the fact,tbat they, after the ejection of the Whigs. were decla red by a unanimous vote, (Tories and all,) entitled to no seat 1 Tho usage has been uniform and unvary ing, since the adoption of the Constitution, that the individuals having the regular and !eget returns, were entitled to the seats.— There has been no solitary exception, until now—when the Administration, beaten be fore the people, and in a state of desperation, has songht to exclude the Now Jersey mem. berg, for the purpose of getting the control of the [louse of Representatives—to elect a Speaker who will pack Committees and suppress investigation into Government abu. ses. On another point, the Tories endeavor to deceive the public—and that is as to the e lection of the Tory candidates. As no one who has not examined the polls, can say with certainty whether tho Whigs or (ho Tories are duly elected—in tho absence of such information, the next best must be re. lied on. The Whig candidates, soon after tee election, when they heard that the To- ries intended to contest their election, were so confident that they wore duly elected, that they proposed to their opponents to re fer-the matter back to the People, and lot them decide, instead of the House of Repre sentatives. This liberal proposition the Tories declined, choosing rather to be judg ed by a partizan these than by the People I Again : at the State election last month, in the two counties whose votes, it is alledged, were suppressed last year, and where the s election turned altogether upon the conduct of the clerks who made the returns, the Whigs received a decided majority I Thus have the Whig members the legal returns, and a verdict of the People imam diatoly interested in.their favor, besides the refusal of their opponents to submit the whole contest back to the People. But it is the pleasure of the President that New Jer sey should not bo represented by . Whigs ; he would not, in that.case, have a subservi. ant majority in the House ; and therefore it is that the rights of a Soirerelgn State are assailed and prostrated. From the Richmond Whig The outrage at Washington—the_ expul sion' of the New-Jersey members and the prostration of the rights of that member of the confederated. States, engages all tho'ts, and is the theme of universal conversation. Men can scarcely credit their own senses, that so gross, so monstrous, and so despo tic.a measure should be attempted, in this day and generation, and in this land of An glo-Saxon blood. The sworn thralls of party, the ..sink'or swim" adherents of the Federal Executive, even, hold down their heads in shame and confusion, and dare not utter a word 'of justification - or apology. The more the whole proceeding is consi doted, and the better the motives which prompted it are understood, the more re volting and detestable, does it appear to ev ery ' right thinking mind. No man can doubt, who has attentively perused the do iugs and sayings of the assembled Represen• tatlves, that the prime and sole cause of the whole difficulty, and the unjust and tyranni cal proceedings towards New• Jersey, was the effort of the Federal Executive to ob i fain the ascendancy m the House of Repro. sentatives. If any shadow of doubt had ex isted as to this fact in the beginning, it was entirely removed, by the conduct of the President's partisans after the expulsiOn .of 1 the New Jersey members. Until the Whig members were excluded, it was pretended that the Tory candidates . had .superior claims, and that they were entitled to their seats as the Representatives of New-Jersey. But •so soon as the Whigs members were expelled, (and that too by a tie,) no tool of tho Administration, had the hardihood to propose the Tory claimants, and - they were rejected by a unanimous vote. So strong and conclusive was it, that they had no sha dow of right tethe seats they had claimed. This fact demonstrates, if any 'thing can; the real object of the Administration : It wished to get rid of the Whig members, that it might thereby have the control of the House, and well knowing that its own claimants had 'no such authority as would entitle them to seats, oven if there were no opponents. Can the country submit to this gross u• surpation by the Executive:upon the House of Representetives:and the rights of one of the States of the Union? We would ap peal to men of all parties, if this high-hand ed injustice can be endured ? We would appeal to those, who believe that the preser vation of the Republic is de?endent upon the. preservation of the Rights of the States, If this expunction, at .he order of tho Pres ident, of one member of the Confederacy from the House of Representatives, be not utterly subversive of all their piinciples We would appeal to Mr. Calhoun, who, at this juncture may, from his position, be able to exert a most - tialutaryinfluefice, in arrest. Mg this giant wide to despotism. His old friends look to him now to fulfil the hopes they have never ceased altogether to , cher ish. and by one bold and decisive blow, to strike down the profligate faction, which at the same time that it is seeking to use him as a tool, is pulling down the very pillars of the Republic. The - capital of the Philadelphia Banks; exclusive of the Bank of the U States, is 1316.:;50,000. DEMOCRACY OP THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION. • The pampered menials of the general go vernment are sneering at and ridiculing Gee. Harrison for his poverty. This is the true spirit of the men who affect such a re gard for the interests of all classes of the people, and who aro laboring so zealously to array the poor against the•rich. This is the natural disposition of the men who stigmatize those opposed to the concentra• lion of all the powers of the government in the hands of one man, as aristocrats, ruffle shirt gentry, enemies of the poor, &c.— And-this no doubt will continue to be their cry, although their opponents have for a candidate for the highest office known un der our government, a man who has to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow, while their candidate is literally wal loWing to wealth drawn from the pockets of the people by thirty years of office holding. We hope they will go on sneering at Gan. Harrison because he did not, like Martin Van Buren, amass an immense fortune off the .people while in the various responsible stations he has filled. The people, the ho twit thinking people of all parties will want same better evidence of his unfitness for the office to which he has been nominated, than his poverty. The time has not yet come in this country when a man's poverty shall be considered a sufficient disqualification for appointments of trust and honor, and especi ally when he has beconie poor in his coun try's service, with ample opportunities to become rich. Let the people. compare the character of Gen. Harrison with that of Mr. Van Buren. Let them ask them which has rendered the public the best service. With. out any disposition to detract brie iota from Mr. Van Buren's real merit, let every one who is disposed to arrive at the truth, ask themssbies what it is in comparieon with Gen. Harrison's. While the former was engaged in little petty schemes for his own individual aggrandizement; or some miser able party advaittage,the latter was fighting the battles of his country against the merci less savages on our Western frontier; and against our British invaders, or employed, like the glorious Washington, eller he had saved his country, in cultivating the sail.— Which is the best republican and democrat, the rich Martin Van Buren or the poor Ge neral Harrison? Let the people inquire. Pennsylvania Courant. A MR. HARRISON. The lntelligeneer of this morning con , - tains a long report df the Junket' given on Tuesday evening. believe,-at Brown's Ho tel, by the Whigs in Washington, ton par ty of individuals, who had disgraced them- selves, their friends and the country, by no minating a Mr. Harrison, of the State of Ohio, a candidate for the office of President of the United States. The above quoted Paragraph is Prom a Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Republican. ‘Ve like it much—it has about it the I rue smack. A Mr. Ilarrisonl—quo the, a Mr. Harrison! Before 1840 is closed, the Republican will find Mister Harrison not .only A, but,ns the insurance companies say, A No. 1. Who is this Harrison that is thus contemptuously designated? A man that has fought hard battles* - for the nation, and never lost One'—a man that has been honored by the people with their confidence, and never betrayed that confidence by word or deed—one who has received executive appointments, and been faithful to the trust, growing poor while millions . were pas Sing through his hands—one who, as the gover. nor of that great western territory which is now the seat of numerous independent states, dispensed justice with so even a hand that his name is revered in every house and ho vel within the vast domain. A Mr. Harri • son is now before the people as a candidate for the office of President of the United States, and the first fruits of his nomination is the trembling of the palace guards until the power of the Executive is lost in the House of Representatives. The people have not the uncertainty about their candi date that is indicated by the little A stuck before his name, and they look to the time, in March, 1841, when a Mr. Harrison will very probably say:--11, Martin Van Buren, are invited to attend my innaguration.' LET EVERY LIGHT SHINE. Now that the Whig nominations are fair ly made, we hope our friends will do all in their power to promote the circulation of newspapers devoted to the good cause. Let every county sustain its sheet with spirit-.. cheer the Editor's heart by prompt payment —and our word for it, the result will show that truth cannot be shed abroad without producing effects of the greatest importance. The above, from the Harrisburg Intelligencer, contains suggestions which should be received and acted upon without delay by those who desire to see the renovation of our republican institu tions. It is an indisputable fact, that the advo cates of , correct principles, in too many instances, suffer the papers which they should encourage, to languish for want of proper support. Evrry g ood Whig should support the press of his own own party, and support it well. It is this that will enable "every light to shine." We desire to See our Whig friends both at home . and abroad, emulate the example of their political opponents in this matter.' We find few Van Buren papers suspending, and the reason is, that the patronage received from their own partizans, added to that obtained from those who,act with the Whig l party, enable the proprietors to keep them in existence. Lot those who believe that the agents of the gov ernment should be hold to a strict accountability, reflect upon this matter. Every subscriber to a Whig paper, should feel himself called upon to obtain at least ono additional name to the printer's subscription list—and they will find in the result of the next election, that they have done more for the spread of correct principles, by this act, than they could accomplish by all the good wishes for success that they might, make wore they to live a century.—Darby Republican.

PLAIN REASONS for plain m©n why WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON should be elected President of the United States: Ist. Ho is a tried republican of the OLD Smarm, who'has served the country faith fully in PEACE and in WAR, and has the Jef fersonian requisites for'office—'he is honest, capable, and faithful to theconstitution.' 2d. He was for twelve years Governor of Indiana, and at the same time performed the duties of Indian Agent. During this period MILLIONS of the public money passed through his hando, every cent of which he accounted for; and he left the pub lic service runt: ma Point. 3d. Whenever invested with power, whether in peace or in war, the supremacy of the law was sustained. • He never chal- lenged his fellow man to single combat—but often as ho mettle foes of his country ho proved the victor. 4th. He is a man or strnsTA - NcE not o avow—plain in his dress and manners; a practical farmer: works with his own hands and treats every honest man as his equal. sth. He is pledged to serve but ONE TERM, and this pledge he will redeem without repairing an alteration in the eon. stitution. eth. lie would respect the will of Con gress in all matters of expediency, and would only use tho veto power when the act submitted,for his approval came in con flict with the constitution. 7th. He would regard the Senate as hav ing the same right as himself to judge dap pnintments to office; and if the nomination of one 'noble friend' should be rejected, he would send in another not less noble,without being in any degree offended by the rejec tion of his first named friend. Bth. He hne not been in public life for the last twelve years nor mingled in the party strife of the day; he would therefore be the President of the WHOLE PEO; PLE, and would come into office with a disposition to lessen Executive power and patronage, and to reduce the extravagant expenditures of the Federal Government to a wholesome limit. 9th. He is the Father of the present admi rable system efdispo.ing of the public lands, which has been so perfected that a poor man who can make up 8100 may become an in• dependent FREEHOLDER. This. measure has earned for him the title he receives in the West, of 'the POOR MAN'S FRIEND.' 10th. Although a working man and not a LAWYER, he has talents of a high order, is 'a scholar, and a ripe and good one,' is one of the best read men in the country—and thinks well—speaks well—writes well. and fights well. PERRY. U. S. Gazelle TuE HARD CIDER AND LOG CABIN CAN. DIDATE.—The Loco Foco journals sneer at Gen. Harrison, because he is 'at present a clerk of the Court of Common Pleas.' Such we believe to be the fact. It cannot be de nied. We admit the full force of the objec tion thus prOminently put forward, as the strongest that can be brought up against Gen. Harrison. But io what, after all,does it amount? It is merely conclusive evidence, that after a life of distinguished public ser vice, in situations where he might without dishonor have accumulated. one of the lot lest fortunes in the Union, he has retired from all of them as poor (mho entered. In his old age, inoreover,he acorns the-tender ed assistance of numerous wealthy and pow erful friends, and prefers the honorable in• dependence that is purchased by his daily toils. We do not believe that this will be considered a very heinous offence in the eves of the American People. The time has been when they would have regarded it as a virtue.—Cour.

Mr. Granger attended Mr. Kemp shall to the Speaker's Chair, and he was sworn ir.. After the journal was read, Mr. IVise rose and said he felt it a duty to the House .and the country to take the first opportuni ty to introduce a resolution in relation to an exciting subject, and prevent that agitation of it in Congress which occurred at former .sessions. He moved to suspend the rules, ; so as to present a rusolution declaring that .on the preseriation of any petition, memo rial, or other paper, relating to slavery or ihe.slave train, the'recoption of such paper shall be regarded as objected to ; and the .question of reception shall be laid on the ta 'ble without debate, or any other action what ,ever, thereon. A motion to suspend requires 'n vote of dwo-thirds. This proposition . obtained only 109 ayes. end 77 nays, and . was therefore Jost. • Mr. Wise then gave notice that he would objeet to the reception of any paper relating ', 4 9,•;4 3 lavery Or the slave trade, and , move to Ins Ye question on the table, at the Instant. jkilij l .#9.:lloo4bat lie would never acknowl- JtOtittlittion' of this Congress over : ,cik.-Leud criesof order interrupt he resumed , his seat. Mi. 'boric:lld, of Louisiana, then sent to the Chair a long series orresolutions on the same subject, nod moved to suspend the rules for the purpose of presenting them for adoption. .111 - Garland said that his resolutions were nut. Ole work of a caucus, but prepared by himself, The question was then taken, mid the motion to suspend was rljected— Ayes 107, Niy.l S 2, not two-thirds. - The ]louse then proceeded to the consi deration of .be unfinished business of Fri- , day last, being the motion of Mr. Waddyi Thom/Ron, of S. C. to reconsider the vote by which twenty thousand copies of the Pron. sident's Message were ordered to.be print. ed. Mr. Thompson took ihe fl )or, and spoke at considerable length—reviewing, with great ability and in a very spirited and 0103. tic manr.er, the doctrines and recommenda tions of the message. When he finished, Mr. Duncan called the previegs, question, and thereupon Mr. Thompson w4hdre*,his motion to reconsider. Mr. Duncan ofilired.a resolulion to the efTect that the Speaker should swear in Mr. Dickerson and his Loco Foco colleagues, as representatives or the Slate of Nett Jersey, to hold their seats until the question of the New Jersey contested,electionsbould be de cided The Speaker decided thattho resolution was not in order. Duncan . appealed. The House almost unanimously sustained the decision of the Chair. Mr. Ranflolph.moved that the testimony in the New Jersey contested case can be re• (erred to the Committee on Elections ; and on this point a discussion arose, which was not concluded when. the, House adjourned. y'Owing to the irreiletarityW the mails, our regular files have not been received—and are, therefore, unable to lay before our readers any la ter proceedings.

The "STAR & BANNER" will here after be published on Saturday of each • week. (*.Owing to the extreme coldness of the weath er during the past week, we have had to delay somewhat the issue of our paper.—ln future. however, we hope to obviate this difficulty. The IYee-Prestdcricy. It will be perceived that wo have this week withdrawn the name of the Hon..DANIEL Wzn- STET!, and substituted that ofJOIIN TYLER, of Virginia, as a candidate for the office of Vice Pre sident of the U. States. In doing this, we are but anticipating the intention of the Mr. Webster on his return to this country, to yield his nomina. Lion to his more available opponent—though we had intended awaiting his return and formal re signation. Wo doubt not our course, though somewhat premature, will secure the acquiescence of a man, "the measure of whose fame is already full," and whose richly merited renown could not be enhanced by conferring' upon him the second honor in the gift of on American people. That Mr. Webster will cheerfully concur in the nomi nation of Mr. TILED, there cannot be a doubt, as it seeFltbe pretty generally conceded that this gentlemen Will more easily concentrate tEe differ ent elements of the opposition, and do battle more effectually against the spoilers in power. This being our belief, we shall yield•to Mr. TILED a most cordial and hearty support. The Speal::r. Since the election of the Hon. R. M. T. Hus- Ton, to tho speakership in Congress by the oppo-, Editor' party; we have been no little amused at thei ingenious artifices, and labored efforts j of the Globe, Richmond Enquirer, and other kindred Obits to win Mr, HUNTER to their ranks—and indentify his actions with the Van Buren .dynasty. The editor of the Globe with hiv usual accuteneits and correct genealogical reasoning, Deserts the Speaket to bo the grandson of the Hon. Sous TATIOIt and must of course be a democrat. While .his "veteran" cotetnporary .unkindly denies the asser tion, but says he owes'his election to dem . oerals: Be this as it may, and be Mr. frukrati the grand son of Joni . TarLon;* or 'old Mr: lit:roue—Or some other venerable gentleman, is no concern of ours—let those ancient chroniclers atljust their own difficulty, we ore satisfied to take the actions of the Speaker as a creteriori of hid principles. Since he has occupied the chair he has voted but time, both times voting with the whigd,and of the chair- Men of the different committees recently announ- ' ced, twenty two are Whigs and eleven Van Bu ren men—among the opposition members it will be perceived the most prominent men have been selected to fill those important offices, actions gen tlemen, "speak louder than words." :'' he Philadelphia , Inquirer says, "Tbe intelli ' oof .the alliance between tfie - Nullillers and A 4t' Administration ix confirmed, rind that Cal hOun's object is to put aside Benton, and obtain .the influence of the Administration fur the SUCCCS• .lion," and very properly adds, "that the likople :will save these high contracting parties all trou ble upon this point by the triumphant electign of the Hero of the Thames." Tennessee, although not represented in the Harrisburg Convention, speaks out in a voice of thunder her preference for Harrison and Tyler.— In speaking of this, the "Nashville Whig" says, "We in Tennessee go for the union of the Whigs for the sake of the Union, and to effect this great purpose—n purpose, which, if accomplished, we seriously believe will rid the Gavernmsnt of one the most despicable administrations that ever cur-' tied a free ,country—we promise a "long pull a strong pull and a pull altogether" in November 1840 for Harrison and Tyler." Zscuenran T. Pout.scm, Esq., late editor and proprietor of “Pou!sons' Daily Advertiser," Phil adelphia; ono of the oldest daily papers on the continent of America, has recently disposed' of that establishment to the editors of the North American and in future they are to bn as one paper. "It is a source of happiness to all who know Mr. Pocmsom," eays the U. Si Gazette ' , that his industry and economy have 'secure wealth, and that ho stands, atter about two score years of labor as the conductor of a press, amid independence, gathered by his own carp and secu red by his own caution.' Wo learn from the Baltimore Chronicle that the friends of Gen. Winatson in that city, held a town meeting a few evenings since at Washing ton Hall. A preamble and a number of spirited resolutions were reported by Joan P. Konsr.ur, Esq., when 11.r.vuunr JunJisToS, Esq., introdu., cad to the meeting Gen. LESLIE Coon us, of Ken tucky, whose appearance drew forth enthusiastic applause. Gen. C. spoke for a considerable time in his usual apt and illustrative style, and when ho closed there were Line rounds of applaus. was succeeded by C•SSIUS CLAY', Esq., of. Ken tucky, delegate to the Harrisburg Convention and CILL !ILES H. FRITTS, Esq., of that city, whose speeches were most cordially received by the com pany. The Monumental city will do .her duty when the proper time arrives. , Legislature of this State will assemble il2 Harrisburg on Tuesday next—we may there fore expect tho message of the Governor in a feiv days. ANECDOTI: OP GEs, HAIIII/BON.—Judge nun- NET, in his speech at the Harrisburg Convention, related the following anecdote :—W heu the gal lant old General was in command of Fort Meigs, having with him but a vary few men, Gen. Proc tor demanded the surrender of his "little fort of mud," on the ground of his vastly auperior force. "Tell Gen. Proctor," said .the fearless young Vir ginia volunteer, to the Officer sent by Proctor, "that I know my strength, and I know his ; if he takes the fort, ho will take it in a way that will do hiM more honor than a thousand surrenders." The Emtnitsburg Gazette of the 30th uit. says: man by the name of ConNe.r.r., ions found dead this morning on the land of Wm. Patterson, ahout3 -miles from Emmitsbuti. The particulars of his death have not yet come to our ktioviledge." Sudden Deuth.:—A coroner's inquest was held by, ; .A.. B. lioars.. Esq. on Wednesday :morning last, upod the body•of a colored.man, named Mar q:butier, - Who win; - touTiu dead in his bed that morning, at the house of Mr. :Eclienrode. a short distance south of the town. The verdict of the Jury was, "died by the visitation of God," Be had been somewhat indisposed for 4 few days pre vious, we understand: He has left no family, we believe.—Sentinel. • • Queen Victoria will boll in May, when, it is said, she will become a bride. lier expected hus band speaks English fluently, and is said to be an amiable and intelligent young man. It is added, by way of scandal, that ho nover.dreamt ho was to marry the Queen, until ho found her picture (by Chalon) in his room, and a note from her, suggesting that the original might be his if be pleased. On this hint ho came fromßerinany_ last year, and wooed the lady. Mu. T'Arvirs I'he meeting of the .Legislature not being fat distant, the first business after organizing is to elect a United States Senator, for which, I see several persons mentioned to fill that station, JAMES M. Poartn, among the fry. I think this would be going Porter too strong; though he has been a faithful coadjutor to the• party in quashing thri several arruy of jurors, and freeing those reb els that were arraigned for overawing the Legisla ture. ..1` 13. 111Tzwx.c is certainly the stern of the Democracy of Pennsylvania, he has stood by through thick and thin, and never gained, except when ho came in contact with a demijohn, added to the state debt near twenty thousand dollars , by committying the living and dead tape worm, acces sory to the gunpowder plot to blow up his fellow beings, all which is sufficient to fetch bins into notice by the prirty. , J.

F.y 2,131 Mr. Baker fulls short of an election fifteen votes in ttisse.tdwics. .The remaining town (Buckland) has probably given a small ma jority against him,thereby defeating a choke. The National Intelligencer says: "New Year's Day was observed as a ho liday by Congress and all the . public of fi ces, and pretty generalli . by'otherti: "The Pro sident,receiVed visitors lisusuhl!in that day, and many 'M'embers of Congress..including the leadingmen of all pat*siwith• the Mem bers-of the Foreign Legations generally, the Heads of Departments and other civil officers, officers of the.
