Mr. Hammet-spoke oa th oill, and in

Johnson, on account of his opposition to.
almost every measure introduced.
Mr. Johnson nade a spirited reply.
Among other matters, he alluded to the
book resolution passed yesterday. He said
that resolution gave each member 8500
extra. There was-anotber secret about
this matter. 'It was this: Many members
on receiving' their $500 worth of books
were in re habit of selling them to sta
tioners of this city for half the amount. So
that the very same books were sold over
and over again at full price to Congress

Both branches of Congress met once
more this morning, at ten o'clock, there
remaining only two hours of the Session.
-In the House the struggle for the floor
was tremendous.. - Almost every member
was endeavoring .to catch. the eye of the
Speaker. The consequence was that
very little business was transacted.
- Several abortive attempts having been
made to take up the bill to recharter the
District Banks, as a last resort, an amend
ment was offered, authorizing them merely
to wind up their business. In this shape
the bill passed, and was signed by the Pre
sident.

provisions of the act granting htalf pay to
certain widows, was taken up and finally
After a scene or great uproar, the H ouse
went into Committee of the Whole, for the
purpose of taking up the Cumbherland
Road bill.
At this jitneture, however, a message
was received from -the Senate, to the ef
fect that it had adopted a joint resolution
extending the se ssion for two hours.
Thte Committee thereupon rose, when a
motian was made to lay the resolution on
the table.
While the Clerk wvas calling the roll,
however, the hour of itwelve arrived,
whereon the Speaker adjourned sine die.
hast-as the Speaker wvas leaving the
Chair, Mr. Barnard tried to get the~ floor
on some point of order. About a score of
members shouted "Barnard, its too late ;
but you have the floor f'or next session."
This caused tremendous peals of laughter.

transacted by the Senate. Abot an hour
was, spent in E xecutive Session ; during

The Controsers.-We call the attention o1
our readers to a letter ofthte Rev. Mr. McCaine,
on the first page of this day's paper, it being
one of a number written by that Rev, gentle.
mant, in a conaroversy between him and the
Rev. Luther Lee, an A bolitionist, upon the
subject of Slavery. Mr. McCaine, has expres
sed a willingness to lay the whole controversy
before the Southern people. could he be ens.
bled to do so, by the friends of the South sub
scribing for a sufficient number of the copies
to pay for publishing. As Mr. McCaine ii
willing to give his time and talent in favor o.
our institions, we hope our citizens will not bt
backward in throwing in: their mite towardi
making public the true state of them.
For tihe infoarmation of our corresponden'
"Saluda,'' whlo appears to he afraid that there
will be no candidates in the field, for a seat ir
Congress, at the coming fall election, we have
understood that our present worthy represen
tative the Hon. A. Burt will be a candtidate,
and that the gentleman whom he has named
in his communication has, we believe, removed
out of the Conigressional District, since the alter
ation of the Judicial Circuits.
[17 We have been requested to state, that
the address of the Hon. .Anm~tman BURT, dur

Phrenology.--During the past week, our ci
tizens were considerable amused by Dr. A
Crane, Professor ofPhrenology, whose mannel
of examining -the Head and giving the truw

the Science in this vicinity.

we shall ourself, take no part in it, pro or con;
being- well convinced that all announced as
candidates, as yet. are gentlemen, who profess
to belong to the Democratic party, and entitled
to the support of their fellow citizens, for all we
know, as much as anywbo have haretofore laid

We have nailed the flag to the mist, under

All commnnications mult be- handed in by

will be uncertain whethr they will appear on
the next Wednesday.
9T We call the attention of the " Sheriff.
Ordinary, Clerk of Court, Coinmissionerin Equi
ty, Coroner, rc.-of Edgefield . District," to an
advertisement in this day's paper, addressed to
them, by the Editor of the Hamburg Journal,
ling upon them to patronize his establishment
with the advertisements which acciuo from
the btsinessoftheir respective ofTces-offering
to publish them all, at one-halfthe regular rates,
which they have been in the habit of paying.
Whether the editor,good soul, has made so much
money at his rates that his coffers, are overflow
ing, or his consc:ence has checked him for o
ing that "which he ought not to have done."
we are at a loss to conjecture; but.we are fuly
satisfied that he is acting with a liberality not
generally practised by poorpractical mechanics
in their sane minds, towards the needy, and
especially towards those engaged in the plea
sant business of the law.
By the way of variety, we also wish the

and in fact all, great or small, to carefully.-or
amine the advertisement of our humble self,
directly under that of the editor of the Journal,
and call at our establishment. and judge for
themselves, whether our prices is not liberal,
and low enough for any honest man to make a
living at. We have served a reziular tinie to
our business, and have long known what it was
to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow,
and hope that no individual has ever gone from)
our office dissatisfied with the charges made
agast him, for services rendered, our motto
" be just and fear not," being always kept in
view~.
To those who have been our steady suppor
-ters, as subscribers and advertisers we appeal,
to know, whether we, who have obeyedl all
orders punctually and faithfutlly, and at liberal
honect living p-.ices, are to be thrown asid~e for
as faithfully sticking to those prices: our con
science does not tell us. that we have drone
werong, therefore, we shuall never flinch, from
our stated rates, let what will be the :.onse
quence, reserving to ours'elf at all times the
right of making contracts with Merchanms or
other persons, as we maly deem best. The ad
vertisements are now' before a liberal and en
lighterned public, they have thieir choice, and as
a practical mechanic we do not fear their deci
sion.
We ever shall be,-as heretofore, thankful for
all favors in our line, large or small, and all or
ders will be promptly attended to. even should
they come from the editor of the Hlamburg
Journal, but not at half price. In all case.
where our patrons advertise largely we will
make a :ery liberal discount. All Religious No
tices inserted gratis.
M Aezico.-The Washington Spectator of the
-18th inst. says: " We understand a messenger
reached the city this afternoon with despatches
from Mexico. The rumor is prevalent that
Mexico lhas acceded to the annexation of Texas:
but, after the hostile demonstrations of otar ow n
prominent politicians. tihich were known at
Mexico. we think it altogether improbable."
" Half Price,"-The Boston Democrat says.
-" Tbat the nomination of Polk anid Dallas hat
caused a great fall in the miarket price of the
Whig electioneering stock. 'Clay Song Books
are now offered there at half price, and few
sales at-that."
In these "diggins," some of the neto breed oh
Clay lie stock, have fallen considerably below
half price, in the mechanical market.

ton's term, as-Senator, necessar'.y expired o
Mdich th,. 184 and that consequently in an
ticipation of thisearity, (even. vithout his.
resignation) there. must have been an eleetion
for this office, de by our Legislature athe
session of 1842 aud That the Senator would
be in office on.tbesame day Col. Pickena'tein
as meher- of the- otierg House tof ongreis
would expire. Besides,-mnny "at that tim,-'
did antioipie'theiesigtiation of his-seat-byfMr..
Calhoun; and if he bad, then formed this p
pose, (which is notpositively asserted ) it was.
likely to be known to Col. Pidkens. It is cer
rain, however, that Col. Pickens 'notwithstand-,
ing his bereavement,' did offer himselfas a
candidaie.for'Senator of'tlie United States, .at
.the session of 18542. That he then aspired, and
now aspires to this high- distinetinctionu, is not
mentioned as proof of any;lisqalinfcatieron f'r"
the State.Senate, but as: e ence that he wil
not exert his 'qualificatidns in our e Q te, if lie
can achieve the higher object of bition.
Justice discovers in the lIamburgarticle, ant
intimation that Maj. Jeter's .resignation- and
Col. Pickens'. anneuncement- asa eandidate to
succeed him, were the resul: of a preconceited-.
arrangement between them. -
"Optics shaky he has I ween,
Who sees, what is not to be seen." "
This eagerness to fortify a" point noaessailud,
shows that there is some weakness in the works
en that point. -According to-the adassions of
"-Justice," Col.. Pickens had.the. advantage
over others of being previously iipprsedof the
intended resignation, and -it is certain 1tI1t lie
was a candidate within a few ininutes alter'the
resignation was announced. These few min
utes. however, afforded scope for much urgent
s'olicitation to Col. P. for repeated'.refusals in'
his pai t-and at length for his " reluctant con
sent." All true, douibless, brut done in double
quick time.
It seems, however, that Col. P. -at len gth
yielded' his relbietanrtconsent to bena candidate7
erponi the assurance, that by so doing tire Dis.
trict would lie saved frm the excitemenat and
distraction of a canv'ass,- &c.-in plain words
that none would dare to deny the right of Col.
P. to take whatever piost in thre public service
suited his convenience.
'-I am, sir, Oracle, and when I ope my
mouth let no dog bark." Now; I 'think there
