PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
Cyrus King, VI. G. has written to fe.
deralist IN Maine, that all chance for fe-
DEAL President is gone by-that there are
but three candidates, Monroe, Crawford
and Tompkins-that he Tor the fedora
lists give tiie preference to Crawford.--
Let Republicans take the hint who would
choose whom the federalists nominate p
Wac would take counsel in such case
frop their political enemy MIR. Craw-
ford's friends should not tCeare his desti-
ny into a federal iceb /; IL is said another
NJ. of e. from Maine is writing to his
friends in favor of MIR. Crawford. The
Voice Of Maine however, is loud and unan-
imous for Mr.. Monroe, and the Reprcsen-
tstives fsom Maine must know the fact
Then why oppose the voice Of the people ?
Does he truly represent them who knows
their will and does not obey il MoxRoE
is of that age which adds to talents and
experience. CrawGord's age cannot give
such certain evidence Of experimental wis
dom his career has been briIliant--as vet
he is but little known in

The resolution expressive OF the sense
of Congress of the gallantry of captain
James Biddlc, the officers and crew of the
Hornet; and a similar resolution respec-
ting captain Charles Stewart, and the Off
GERS an,' crew oft Constitution, for their
last victory, passed through committee of
the whole, aud were seversily oraered,
aem. con. tobe eDsrossed and read third
time.
The bill for rewartiing the officers and
crew OF the Hornet for the capture and dies.
trrction of the British sloop of war Pen
gum, passed thfougha committee of the
whole. The blank was filed with 25 900
dollars, being the amount allowed in FOR.
mer cases and the bill ordered to be en-
gre sed for third reatIing.
THE CANADIAN REFUGEES.
The house resolved itself into commit
tee of the whole, Mr.. Cohdit in the chair,
on the bill for the relief of certain refugees
from the British provinces during the late
war.
Several papers were read respecting
TIER merits and services, among which was
a very strong testimony 10 their merits, &c.
from General Porter, lately member of
this house.
This Dill gave rise toa rather animated
debate, IN which the claim of the petition
ers to indemnify ur compensation was sus-
tanned by MIR. Throop, Mr.. Yates, MIR.
Wright, Mr.. Gold aud Mr. Johnson ofKy. /;
and opposed by Messrs. Hubert, Webster
and Brooks.
This case has been fully presented to
our readers in the shape ofthe petition of
the committee ON behalf of these sufferers.
Their Claim is precisely of character. as
the reporter understands it with that for
which ample provision was made at the
close of the Revolutionary war. They
we're natives OF this country, and, on the
breaking out of the war, preferred ranging
themselves under the banners of their ma.
tive country, than that to which, for pur-
poses OF busIness. that had assumed tenn
porary allegiance.
Fhe opponents of the bill (which propos-
es to compensate the claimants losses by
donations of lapd) oppose it as rewarding
treachery, as poisoning the fountains of
morality, aud use those general expressions
OF dislike, aud even detestation, which such
a DILL is likely to call forth from those who
view it in SO odious light.
The bill was not decided on but, on
motion OF MIR. Johnson, laid on the table.
The committee then proceeded to the
consideration OF another bill, making fur
Their provision for the widows and orphans
of those who fell in the late war.
The house were occupied on this subject
till the usual hour of adjournment!
