The following appears as an extract Of let

OF the 18th instant, paper not friendly to Mr..

In the Senate, Mr.. Bovine, from the select

1t nigh, be useful for the readers In,egencer
to know, whether the Editors deny the upon
Which the Circular is founded TO The princi
pies 1T INSERTS " !Wdshington Republican.
The fact, here referred TO, is understood %
be. that any meeting of Members of Congress,
to nominate candidates for the Presidency and
wee Presidency. would he composed of n
minority of the republicans in Congress We
did not undertake TO speak on that point. mon
are we now authorized To do So but being
thus pressed, as far as opinion goes, founded on
current information, our opinion is, that the
sgners OF the Circular were, at the time they
signed il, under erroneous impressions. Ii is
believed, contrary to the limitations of the
Circular, that decided majority of the Re
pubhcans III Congress are of the same opinion
as the democrats Of Lancaster county.
The result will siew, before Ioag, un which
side the error of comp itaion lies t.Nai hit
Boston paper mentions that three persons
were tried AT the Court sitting in that city for
uisn'rrrIng dead bodies. One was fined, and
TWO confined IN the state prison. The same
paper. we believe, mentions the arrva Al of ano-
ther Egyptian mummy, md we suppose that
the very same Jury and Judges who convict
ed and condemned the steaers of dead bodies
in Massachusetts, will go TO see the mummy,
and thus reward the stealers nfd dead bodies at
lhebes. u S. Gozeite.
