Congress, while the New England am Middle States men desire the que6tio; postponed until the meeting of the im-xi Congress. There are two plans advocat ed, one making the number of representatives 275, and the other fixing the number at 300. Whichever is adopted, wegain one membe'r, and perhaps two. Tho West gains mere than two thirds of ail the increase, and hence her nnx. iet-y to have the matter settled at once. Fixb Cabbage Seed.?During the past week Mr. A. W.

His cabbage seed especially are too well known to need recommendaHon.

We do not, by checking the sup pllee, prevent the General Assembly from wasting our substance; nor .dp wi make them more wasteful bf giving, when it is demapded, "what must in the end be paid. It is pleneant, therefore, to know that the people, bowed, down as they are, are paying their taxes without any avoidable delay." Press Making.?We direct attention to the advertisement of Mrs. Taggart who ia.prep?red to execute all orders in * drepB-niaking, at her rooms over Kurtz't Bhoe Shop.

The repeal of the test oath is. a,stcp the right direction, and removes fr .. the statute book one of those otTn r disqualifications which perpetuate ^ heart-buruingsof thepj^ponfliet. 1 rKunLMtfinci ioiitnc'dil hv j .vrv?iv,t ?
