The greater part of the New Mex

variations which may deserve to he

four years. The President and Vice
President are chosen directly by the
Legislature ofthe several states. They
are forbidden to leave the territory oil

Congress, during the time that they
are in Office, and iora year afterwards.
The President cannot command the
national forces in person, without the
previous consent OF Congress; aud Sc
veral close restriction are imposed up
on him specially, with regard to the

There is nothing yet acted upon in Congress

so much of the Presidents Message, as relates

tire whole of their attention. Mr.. Clay, we are

(where the great contest must be decided,) in
consequence of the vote of Louisiana being for
Gen. Jackson. Frem late information from
Washington, it appears as doutful now, as here
tofore, who will be the successful candidate;
tho We should incline to think, that General
jackson from the number Of states that he has
st his back, will be the one. Had the vote OF
Louisiana be en- for Mr.. Clay. the result would

FINDING MOST ExTRAoRDINAl

FINDING MOST EXTRAORDINARY.
On Friday morning last while a
negro boy, IL Or IA years of age. be
longing to Messrs. Tho's s. VIM.
Brandon of this place, was engaged
in chopping wood at the corner Of the
engine house on the public square, he
picked up large bundle of bank notes
which was partly buried in the ground
all which he Immediately handed to
some gentlemen standing near him,
who carried it directly TO he bank
where it was opened and found to con.
tain ,S2290 in Huntsville Bank notes!
The bank very Todestly laid her
faunks upon it and now claims it, we
understand, as a part Of the 3S26, zoo
which misteriousiy eloped from that
hallowed institution 6 or 6 weeks ago.
Upon This event grand conclave OF
the cardinals was held and resolution
entered into that the said money be
longs TO the Bank and shall not be sur.
rendered 10 the right owner! They
go for the whole right or wrong. But
the Messrs. Brandons are the legal
owners, and it is to be expected will
not submit to club law In this manner.
1t is not remarkable that the bank
should have uniformly declared, pub
licly and privately, that she lost notes
of less denomination than $40; but
now, when il is ascertained that the
bundle found contains large number
of IS bills, she ascertains, for the first
time, that notes Of this denomination
were also included in her losses .
Like the cameleon The Bank gentry
accommodate themselves to circum.
stances.-Money is wanting. money
is found, and therefore it must belong
to theBauk! How this large sum in
bank ro.es found its way to the spot
where it was found, wneni it was de-
posted in this place of security and
for what purpose ii was left there are
questions as inexplcable as to account
for the late robbery, so called. Ii is
a common opinion however, that a
coed rope aud little power woald
soon couture out the accomplished
witho OILS.
