Congress.
Owing to some irregularity in the mails,
the Washington papers from the 24th. to
the 26th. ult., were so long delayed on
the road that we have not time after their
arrival to make a regular synopsis cf the
proceedings of Congress for the congressional
head, later than the 23d.
In the Senate the debate on the land
hill was resumed on the 24th. and continued
with much ability to the evening
of the 26th. The prominent speakers
awainst the bill were Messrs. Calhoun,
Walker, Wright, Woodbury, Cuthbert
and Benton. Among the speakers in favor
of it were Messrs. Archer and Rives,
tire Virginia Senators. The hill finally !
passed its third reading by a vote of 28 to ,
153. Mr. Preston was the only Whig 1
voted against it. j
Fiscal Corporation.
On the 24th. the bill from the House, '
to incorporate a fiscal agent for the Gov.
^ eroment was taken in, and read the first
and second time. A motion by <Vr. Tappan
to postpone it indefinitely was lost, 21
to 24, no Whig voting for the motion.?
1
It was then refered to a select committee
of five, viz: Afessrs. Berrien, Evans,
Archer. Morehead and Huntinoton. J
Mr. Clay had said that he had no desire
to have anv thing particularly to do with
the bill. The bill was probably taken up
on Friday the 27th. and we think the in- j
dications were that it would pass, and be
sent to the President. Judging from the i
declarations of the President in his inaugural
address, and inaugural message, he '
^ iras disposed to sign a bank bill of some j
form. Whether or not the present form
uits him time will shew.
"In the House of Representatives, the
time was taken up chiefly from the 24th.
to the evening of the 26th. in discussing
a bill to appropriate $497,657 to pay debts
due contractors for carrying the mails,
and which were due when the present Post
jtfaster General came into office. The
debate took an extensive range into party
politics, which was introduced by Mr.
Cave Johnson's harshly censuring the P.
u 1 ?rv>? rlic m icoinrr rl i\i it\r Pnat 1
iTI WtllVim I VI UlOIIiiOOIII^ UC^/UVf M. ?IW? j
Masters, as he alleged, on political;
grounds. The bill finally passed on
Thursday evening bv a vote of 127 to 48.
We see an advertisement in the "Re- j
publican Whig Democrat" published in 1
York District in which the advertiser
states under date of May 221 that he "can j
show about 40 straws projecting from a i
single grain of wheat, and every straw
having from four to six heads of wheat on '
it, and a straw sufficient to hear the top."
The grain he calls "California Wheat."
We see in the last number of the
South Carolina Temperance Advocate the
ennv nf n hill which the author intends
""r; - to
introduce into the House of Representatives
of this state, next winter; the
object of which is to exempt from liability
to be sold for debts of any description, j
one hundred acres of land embracing the
debtor's homested and one horse or mule.
One of four benefits which it is alleged
are to follow the enactment oi such a law, j
is that it will improve the character of our
population, by establishing and fostering
a class of honest i'eomanry.
Such an experiment in the art of improving
men's character, and infusing
honesty into them, has the merit of novelty
at least. If it should succeed the
principle will of course be extended to all
property and all debts, and will entirely
supercede the need of bankrupt laws ; a
reformation in the character of our coun*
? 1 1
try most devoutly to ne wisrieu.
Abstractionists.?This is a name
recently given to a party in Virginia of
whom it is alleged by their opponents that
they view the Federal Constitution only
in the abstract?as a mere paper instrument,
and not as a form of government to
be reduced to practice. They resist the
the exercise of implied powers, and are
charged with abstracting all practical
meaning from that clause of the constitu.
tion which empowers Congress to make
all laws necessary and proper for carrying .
into execution the powers vested in the
government, Mr. Stanly the other day,
excited no little merrimont in the House
of Representatives by a practical allusion
to the doctrines ascribed to this party. A
bill had been introduced to place the new
statue of Washington in such part of the
Rotunda (a perfectly circular room) of j
the Capitol, as the artist might select.?
Mr. Adams suggested that the light would
fall upon the statue to most advantage in
a corner of the Rotundo. Whereupon
Mr. Stanly said he hoped the gentleman
from Massachusetts (Mr. Adams) would
move to appoint a committee of abstrac- 1
tionists to lind the corner of the Rotundo.
A fire lately occured in Syracuse, N.
Y. during which the explosion of a quan.
tity of powder in one of the stores caused
the death of thirty persons.
Tiie New Jersey Contested Election.
We have been requested to copy from
the Washington Globe a brief report of
some remarks made in the House of Rep*
? n !
resentatives on this subject, on trie vinor
August. The bill to repeal the subtreasury
act had just passed by a vote of
134 to 87, when
Mr. Halsted moved a reconsideration of the
vole just taken.
Mr. II. said he had long been endeavoring
to obtain the floor in order to make some
emarks on the manner m which the SubTreasury
bi.'l had passed. He wished to show
o the country that it was passed in consejuence
of the tyrannical act of the majority of
lie House depriving the legally qualified {
netnbers of the State of Now Jersey of their I
iglits on that floor. 3/r. H. was proceeding |
imidsl repeated interruptions and calls to or- j
ler, when he finaly yielded the floor, as he j
aid, at ihe solicitation of his friends, and savng
that he would take some other opportunity
of speaking on the subject of the injustice
:hat had been'done the New Jersey certificate
members. Mr. 11. then withdrew his motion
for reconsideration.
Mr. Shields rose and obtained the floor, and
amid cries of order, order, said he wished to
ask the gentleman from New Jersey, Mr.
Halsted, one question, and would be obliged
to him for an answer. Would he rise and say
to the House and the country, that he and j
his colleagues, uho were rejected by the
House of Representatives, had been elected
by a legal majority of the voters of New Jersey.
Hf- riaict<?.-t mnrlp no renlv.'
?... ? y ^ ?
Mr. J. C. Clark renewed the motion for ;
reconsideration, and demanded the previous
question, which was seconded.
Mr. Campbell of South Carolina requested
the gentleman from New York, Mr. Clark, to
withdraw his motion for the previous question,
in order that he might make an inquiry ?>f the
gentleman from New Jersey, Mr. Ilalsted.
The inquiry which Mr. C. wished to make,
was this; Did not the gentleman, Mr. Hal- |
sted, and his associates, in the last election J
for Congress in New Jersey, run behind their j
party; and did not their competitors, the !
Democratic candidates for Congress, run before
theirs? If this was the case, Mr. C thought j
t afforded very good commentary upon the i
remarks which the ge'|tlem?n had just made, j
and might be regarded as a verdict of the !
people of New Jersey, in support of the final j
decision of the la9t House of Representatives, j
on the celebrated contested election from ihit
." it a t p
[H^re the cries were so louda3 to prevent I
Mr. C. from being heard, and he took his
seat ]
The main question (which was on the reconsideration)
was ordered to be taken ; and,
being taken, was decided in the negative. j
So the vote was not reconsidered.
And then, at half past six, the House ad~
journed.
[The following were among the remarks
made by Mr. Haisted, as reported in the National
Intelligencer.]
Mr. II. proceeded, and said he hoped the I
House would recollect that the Ropresenta-i
tivesof New Jersey had not been in the b.ibit i
of, troubling the House much with speeches j
for the last two years. Five of them had been i
illegally and uconstitutionally prevented from j
raiding their voices on this floor, [loud cries of j
order,] and the present w as the first optior- !
lunity which had occurred of speaking of the
outrage committed upon the Stare of New
T"rco" f of order.! The Stib-Treasu
. i ? j
ry bill was passed by the votes of 124 members i
?no, sir, I will not ea'i them members, lor '
some of those who voted for the bill were not I
members, but by the votes of 124 individuals.
All the Administration members were present
voting for the bill, except Mr. Howard, of Indiana.
The strength of the whole Van Buren ,
par y for the bill was only 125. 'I'ne numb r J
of Whig members present, who voted against 1
the bill wan 107. The number of whig inem- i
bers who were absent or did not vne was |
Hine, viz; Messrs. Adants, Brown, Corwin, j
G-anger, Lawrence, Morris, f'alen, Sherrod 1
V
Williams and Wise; making together 11(1 dl
opposed to the bill. Then if the five illegal
votes of the pretended Representatives of New
Jersey are deducted from the majority, it T
would leave only 1*20 in favor of the bill; and c|
if the five votes of the legal Representatives
of New Jersey are added to those opposed id
the bill, it would have made 1S1 members op- pi
posed to the bill, or, in other wortfet a majori- fr
tv of one agaiosuhe bill. :.
[Here there were loud cfleS of order from *l
the Opposition members.] qt
The House of Representatives is by the C1
constitution made the judge of the elec> fc
tion returns and qualifications of its own tt
members. In the exercise of this power, y
it decided, after investigation by a committee,
that the Democratic candidates m
were entitled to their seats, as Represen- rr
tatives of New Jersey, and, of course, D
that the Whig candidates who bad been ir
commisioned by the State, might return V
home. This decision was final. Wheta- a
er right or wrong there was no appeal
from it. The next election by the peo* tl
pie of New Jersey resulted in the defeat
of these same Democratic candidates, t!
and the success of their old Whig oppo.
nents. This result did not reverse 2
the decision of the House of Represeb- p,
tatives; much less did it confirm that h<
decision. It proved only that the Whig fo
candidates were the choice of the people
of New Jersey in 1840; but for any [[
thing that has been proved tothe contrary, 01
the people of New Jersey, like those of ^
several other States, may have thought ,
differently in 1840 from what they did
in 1838. The House of Representatives ^
must be presumed to have acted honestly ;c
in the case. The members, however, 1
were mere men, and, therefore, liable to ,|
be biased by party prejudice. And some P
at least of them were certainly thus tj
biased, on one side, if not on both ; other* c<
wise it is not credible that all of each tr
party could have been brought to a decision
in favor of the candidates which ?1
happened to be of their own party, and
that the vote on the question should have P
been strictly, as it was, a party vote, ^
It is not our purpose here to enter into
any discussion of the questions to which a]
the New Jersey contested election gave V
rise; but there is a fact suggested by the it
introduction of the subject into our col- P'
umns, :o which, in passing, we shall ad- hi
vert for the purpose of exemplifying one .
feature in the operation of our system of
government. ol
If the members from New Jersey had
voted against the sub-Treasury bill at the
last session, it could not have been pa&'ted.
But if our recollection 19 correct, a new ^
election had taken place in New Jersey j,,
before the passage of the bill, which in
proved that State to be opposed to the ^
measure. Now if all the members of C
Congress from the other states fairly rep.
resent id their constituents on this point, J %s
and there is no evidence to the contrarynone
at least in favor of the sub-Treasury, ^
it is clear, and was clear at the time, that K
the bill was passed against the will of the
country. Still, it was done under the y
regular, legitimate operation of our sys.
tern of government; which was never dosigner
to be a democracy, but a representative
republic. Congress had a right c(
under the constitution to pass the bill; of tt
tho expediency of doing so they alone tt
were the judges. And what remedy had
the people? Violent tumultuary resist,
ance? Not at all. The ballot box was p(
the remedy which in the organization of tl
their government, they secured to them. P(
seltes, in case of disregard of their will ?'
by their representatives. Of this remedy j(
they peaceably and quietly availed them, pi
- - ... . . .. . j
selves, and thus, without violating a single
obligation incurred by themselves or w
their government, they, in due time, pro- tj
cured the repeal of the obnoxious act. **
Thus may it always prove. May the nr
people of this country resort only to con- a
stitutional and legal means to remove
evils, real or imaginary, brought upon
them by their chosen rulers. Let them, t<
at least, confine themselves within the *
pale of the constitution, as long as there
is any reasonable prospect of their being ^
able to do it in this way. When there is tl
not, then rebellion and revolution arc the tf
remedy. !

Elections. ?
Tennessee.?In this state the Whigs ,r
(i]
have elected their candidate, a Mr. Jones,
over Governor Polk, the present incum- e,
bent, by a majority of about 3000. The a
Democrats gained one Senator and lost 01
three, leaving them a majority of one.
The Whigs gained six representatives and ^
lost one, giving them a majority of three je
in the lower house, and a majority of two ti
on joint ballot. This will enable them *
to send two Whigs to the U. S. Senate;
one in place of Mr. Nicholson, who now
holds a temporary appointment from the p
Governor in place of Mr. Grundy, and b
the other to fill a vacancy which now ex- ^
ists. u
In Alabama the Whigs ran a moderate n
Democrat, and the Democrats a candi- b
?
nam?
ite of their own. The latter was elected dn
f a majority estimated at about 7000.
* wl
he last session' of the Legislature ^
langed the district plan of electing mem- ^
3rs of Congress to the general ticket bi
Ian, to prevent the election of Whigs th
ora the Whig districts, and at the same
me made provision for submitting the ^
jestion to a vote of the people at the fif
ections of the present year. The vote m
>r general ticket was far behind that of ^
le party for Governor, and the result not
et known. ar
In Illinois the Democratic party
taintain their ascendency. Of the three to
lembers of Congress chosen, one is a el
lemocrat, one a Whig, and the third a jjjj
loderate Democrat, voted for by the <ji
fhigs, and called hy some of the papers
Whig. . cl
In Indiana the Democrats have gained
ie ascendency on joint ballot.
In Kentucky the Whigs maintain ,fc
leir ground. 01

In the House of Representatives on the
Oth August ex-Governor Gilmer of Virginia,
resented tbe proceedings of a public meeting til
eld in Louisa co mty Va. whereupon the* l|]
blowing proceedings took place. tn
Mr. Gilmer said the resolutions expressed 01
ie general concurrence of that meeting in IV
ie views of the Admin stration proper at the di
thcr end of the avenue, which differed widely tt
om the Administration improper at this end ^
f the avenue. And, as the question might
rise who? .
M. G. iva b here called to order.
Mr. Stanly addressing himself to Mr. Gil
ter) asked, by what authority do you speak a<

vocue ? tf
Mr. Gilmor. I do not speak for it. I ^
jeak for the people of my district, who ap- t(
rove?? ,
Mr. Stanly. Did not I understand the gen. J

The resolutions were then received, and w

House or Representatives. a
Fiscal Agent. 8
Friday Aug. 20. On motion of Mr.
ergeant the House resolved itself into n
Dmmi ttee of the Whole on the state of k
te Union, (Mr. Dawson, of Georgia, in n
te chair.)
On motion of Mr. S the committee
ok up House bill No. 14, being a bill re- H
orted from the Select committee ap- 8(
" 11 ' * - ? onkiont nf B
Dinted oy i n is nuusc uu m? oU
le Currency, entitled 44 A bill to incor. B
fj
orate the subscribers to the Fiscal Bank ?
T the United States." ^
Mr. Sergeant said that he would state y
> the committee what he meant to pro- ei
use to them. The committee would un- bl
inibtedly recollect the nature of the bill G
hich had been reported by the commit Jj
je on the Currency some considerable jj
me igo, and which was numbered ^
fourteen." His intention was now to 8f
love to amend the bill by striking out all M
Iter the enacting clause, and inserting b<
hat be would send to the Chair. P
Mr. Sergeant said that, as several in- Jj
uires had lieen made of him with regard
) this bill be would now proceed to make f'
short str, tement, to show in what re- ^
>ects it differed from that recently before T
lis House. He would say, first, that T
lere were two or three verbal errors in d<
lis b II, and there were words, in two or E
V1
iree places, which he thought had better y
ave been left out, and which were in*
mded to have been omitted by the comlittee.
There were several gentleman [ B
i the present Congress who entertained B
Ktreme hostility to the word 44 bank," G
nd, as far as he was concerned, he felt G
7 p
very disposition to indulge their feelings,
nd he had therefore endeavored through ^
ut ttKis bill to avoid using the word q
bank." IX that word anywhere remain- te
i as applicable to the being it was pro- G
Dsed to create by this law, let it go out? H
tit go out. Now, the word "corpora- It
?- ?L.__ 1 1 J(
on" sounded wen, [tauguiur.j ?uu
as glad to perceive it gave pleasure to ^
le House. At all events, they had a j(
ew trord to fight against. Now, the dif- ft
;rence between this bill and that which R
assed this House some days ago would R
e seen by comparison. The present dif- ^
jred from the other principally in three ^
r four particulars, and there were s6mc
ther parts of the bill which varied, in inior
particulars, from that which had been
eforo the House 9 few days ago. Those ^
fferences gentlemen would have no difrulty
in discovering and understanding
ben the bill should have been printed,
e would now proceed to answer the indries
of gentlemen in reference to this
II. Mr, 8 then stated the following as
e substantial points of difference be*
reen the two bills:
1. The capital in the former bill was
irty millions, with power to extend it to
ty millions* In this bill twenty-one
illions, with power to extend it to thirty*
re millions*
2. The former bill provided for offices
discount and deposite* In this there
- i : 1..
e to lie agencies umy.
3. The dealings of the Corporation are
be confined to buying and selling for.
gn bills of exchange, including hills
awn in one State or Territory and
lyable in another. There are to be no
scounts.
4. The title of the Corporation is
langed.
The amendments were ordered to be
inted.
Saturday. Aug. 21. Mr. Sergeant of.
red a resolution to terminate the debnt?
t the Fiscal Corporation bill this day at
P. M.,*but afterwards changed.the time
> the same hour on Monday 23d. This
otion caused no small excitement among
le members of the minority. Two of
lem, Mr. Brown of Pa. and Mr. Ken.
edy of la., were successively called to
rder and required to take their seats,
lotions to allow them to proceed were
scided in the negative; the Speaker and |
te majority evincing a determination to
Bep order.
Several Democratic members asked to
5 excused from voting but were not.?
Ir. Sergeant's resolution was finally
Jopted 110 to 76.
The House went#into committe and
>ok up the bill, when Mr. Sergeant
lade the motion indicated by him yes.
>rday, and spoke his hour in favor of the
ill. He was followed by hissondn-law,
lr. W <?e, against the bill and in abuse of
Ir. Clay, for an hour.
Mr. Turney moved to strike out the
nacting clause of the bill, when Mr.
Pise jumped up and went on with his
>eech. This was objected to, but the
liairman, Mr. Dawson, decided that as
)e motion now was different from that on
hich he had just spoken, he was entitled
> another hour. No appeal was taken
nd he spoke his second hour, soon after
hich the House adjourned.
Monday, Aug. 23. The same bill being ]
p, Mr. Marshall of Ky. replied as well i
> the objections urged against the bill
n Saturday by Mr. Wise as to his abuse
f Mr. Clay. On this last head he reired
to an article which appeared io the
rational Intelligencer of a particular date
hich he named, praising Mr. Clay in
cry strong and unqualified language,
md who, asked Mr. Marshall, wrote
lis ariicle ? I will only reply, he con.
nued, as Nathan said to David, "Thou
rt the man," pointing at the same time,
) Mr. Wise. In some parts of the re.,
inrks of Mr. M., says the report of the
lational Intelligencer, loud manifesta* !
ons of satisfaction were with difficulty
jstrained. The debate was continued
II the hour of 4 P. M. when according to
le resolution adopted, the bill was taken
ut of committee, and amended. It then,
nder the previous question passed the
2cond and third readings. The majori/
on the final passage was 31. The j
ebate which occured did not relate so
iuch to the bill as to general party topics,
nd was likely to become particularly
crimonious had it been continued.?
omething was doubtless therefore saved
> the character of the countTy by terlinating
it when it was done. The fob
>wing were the yens and na vs on the fial
passage of the bill.

In the space of some several momenta a
deep hol/ow sound was heard, resembling'
the rumbling noise of distant thunder flrodf
the chasm below, and at the same instant <* .^
gushed forth from the shaft, thus made
a clear transparent, oleaginous substance
or liquid, which boils up very similar to
the effervescence of a boiling pot: and
which, owing to the sluggishness of the
current, has gradually diffused itself over
the whole surface of the river* A qutnti

of fire, it is found to burn equal to
the present sperm oil.
To gratify curiosity and make further
tests, fire has been applied to the oil on
the water, and the whole surface of tbo
river is now burning, emitting a flame of
most beautiful appearance, about 6 inches
high, and has already extended about half
way down to Fort Sluddart; the reflection
of which upon the horizon at night, pre*
sents a most sublime spectacle, far surpassing

We understand that on last Friday some
persons engaged in hunting Qold, discovered
a vein on the Lands of Thos. Flow, on Clear
Creek, about 14 miles East from this place,
which is very rich. The vein is about one
foot wide, some of the ore taken out was worth
between two and three thousand dollars per

Some Yankee has invented a new kind
of ink, called " love letter ink." It is a
sure preventive against all cases of
" breach of promise," as the ink fades
away and loaves the sheet blank in about
our weeks after being written upon.
A Warning.?The Wilmington (N.
C.) Advertiser saysJtThe death of Mr.
Driver, mentioned under our obituary
hend, was caused by taking lobellia. He
had complained for two or three days of
being a little unwell, and on Wednesday
morning about, breakfast time took a *
powerful dose of lobelia, although warmly
remonstrated with by his attendants, saying
at the same time he should be about
his business in an hour or two. Difec*
tly after taking it he was seized with
spasms, and iu fifteen minutes was a ,
corpse." " >v ^
