MIDDLEsEx. A convention of delegates
from towns in Middlesex county, has been
held at Concord, at which, after nominating
candidates for Senators, it was RESOLVED
"That, situated as are the Freemen of
Middlesex, in regard to question particu-
larly affecting their interest, and involving
the rights of the whole people of the Com
monwealth, we do not approve of the nom
nation of His Excellency, Levi Lincoln,
for the office of Governor of this Common
wealth at the ensuing election" Six 9TH
or resolutions on the same subject were al
so adopted, approving of the course pur-
sued by the majority of the Legislature and
censuring the Governor.
This distinct avowal of the Middlesex
convention, leaves no room to doubt that
there will be determined opposition to the
Fetrelection of Gov. Lincoln, the ground Of
which is the exercise of his vote on the
| H. Dig. nh ,r,I.>sn, 4l.a-afa-a, -1--h1
believe that by giving it his negative, the
Just rights of the commonwealth and of a
portion of our citizens have been preserved
are under imperative obligations to come
forward and manifest their appreciation by
their votes. An independent and intelli-
gent exercise of this prerogative of the
Governor, is one of our best safeguards a.
gainst the effect of misguided popular
excitement, and of any improper act Of
Legislation by which the rights of the peo-
pie are sacrificed, or the provisions of the
constitution violated.

} INsoLyENr LAWS. A final disposition,
we learn, was made yesterday, in the SUI
preme Court, of the various questions arls-
ing under State Insolvent Laws, which
have been so repeatedly argued, and so
long under Amusement. The result Is,
that where the contract is made subsequent
to the law, and is made between citizens
of the State where the law exists, dis
charge under such law is valid defence;
so also, if made with the citizen of anoth-
er State, if such citizen shall choose to
sue, and the cause proceed to judgment In
the Courts of the State where the law ex-
lists. But if the contract be made be-
tween citizen of the State where the law
exists and the citizen of another State, the
party claiming under the contract may sue
in his constitutional forum, the Courts OF the
United States, and discharge under a
State Insolvent Law will not bar the ac-
ton. AS u Uvntroots r,naAa before the pas
SAGE of such laws, our readers are aware
that they are not held subject to the opera
ton of those laws, even between citizens
of the same State.-.Ndt. Intel.
CANADA. The Parliament of Lower
Canada has been prorogued by the Gov
ernor of that province, without their hav-
ing passed any bills of supply to detray the
expenses of the government, and without
their having acknowledged or answered
the messages of his Majesty's representa-
tive, according to the usuages OF farlla-
| mcnt.
The Governor, in his speech to the House
of Assembly, observes =
"The results of your proceedings in this
session have been the refusal of the sup
plies necessary for the ordinary expenses
OF government; the loss of the militia bill
title failure of all provisions for the mainten-

! DUELLING. The ensuing paragraph is
extracted from western paper:
Some weeks ago, Andrew Scott wa:
nominated for disappointment as Judge o
the territory of Arkansas. The committee
of the judiciary, to which the nomination
was according to usage referred, reported
that they were satisfied as to the lega
qualifications of the candidate, but that III
had, whilst Judge, fought a duel with al
associate Judge, who was killed. On thu
statement, the Senate at that time rejecte'
the nomination, by decided vote-but i'm
mediately thereupon, motion to re-consid
er the vote OF rejection was made, which
8 has remained undetermined until yester
day. The delay was allowed on the rep
|, resentation that q respectable gentlema
from Arkansas was expected III the city
:, who. it was stated, might so explain tn
transaction as to obviate the difficulties un
der which those opposed to the appointment
labored. The gentleman has arrived an
made his statement, which, however, hap

CONGRESS.

All the measures OF any great EtgeSt,
we believe, which were anticipated rom
the labors of this Congress, at the 'om-
mencement of the session, have failed.
The Bankrupt bill, after full discussion,
was rejected by the Senate, before the
House had an opportunity of taking the
subject into consideration. The bill Ella
tive to the trade with the British cOlones
has failed, in consequence OF u disagee-
ment between the two houses, on or, of
the points which it was attempted to rgu-
late. By this failure the Executive lsilett
in rather an awkward predicament, in FLA
ton to this subject, and the country is left
with the prospect of losing for sevral
years, branch oftrade, which, although ler-
haps not in general very profitable to tbse
directly concerned in it, is neverthelessone
of value, in encouraging the industry of
the country. The bill for the relief Of she
surviving officers and soldiers of the REQ.
luton has failed, after Jealous and DIV
erful effort on the part of its friends inEhe
House of Representatives to carry ii.
The bill to increase the duties impoEed
wool AND wqaqenssy which HI a estaa i 1.iS TIA
from the want of the concurrence o the
Senate. Many other grand projects, pre-
scented in the form of resolutions, an! re-
ferred to committees, to the numhr, it
would seem from the address of the
Speaker, of some thousands, failed ofcom-
ing to maturity. The resolution fol any
inquiry why the Secretary of State dis
charged Isaac Hill and others from the Of
flee of public Printer, and appointed per-
sons IN their places not opposed to the Id
ministration failed; and the debate on tat
subject, after being carried on with graf
Vlgor for several weeks, came to prena-
ture close, by the termination of the tes-
sion. The Georgia controversy is left for
the President to manage in the best way
he can.
Of the bills passed, the most important
we believe, after those making appropiia-
tons for the annual expenditure, and for
objects already sanctioned by law, is the act
for the gradual improvement of the navy.
There are also number of laws of great
Importance to the western country, making
grants of money or lands, for opening
roads and canals, and also providing for
the settling of land titles, and for making
particular locations of lands in the new
states and territories. There are alsoacts
for making additional ports of entry--for
building additional light houses, and for
repairing certain harbors. The act fol the
improvement of the navy, provides fol the
erection of two dry docks, and separate
act provides for the building of an arsenal
at Augusta in Maine.-BoSton DAILY Ad-
uertiSer.

NOMINATIONS. We have, on former
occasion, avowed our determination to pub
lish no name, as candidate for Office, on
the authority of an anonymous communica-
ton. If any one wishes his favorite pre-
scented to the people, why should he seek
to throw the responsibility on us, which he
shrinks from himself? All nominations, in
this paper, must be on the authority Of
some person to whom we can refer if cal
led upon by those who are interested. A
compliance with this requisition, previous to
next week, will secure the publication OF
the nominations which have been forward
ed to us.
