| OF tne JuStlce OF SUCH decision. lndee(
the whole debate, as every reader will per
ceive, was entirely out of order. 1t SHOULD
have been arrested at an earlier stage, o.
not suffered to have been continued at all
The speaker, however, excused himself BY
saying that it commenced in such way tina
he could not arrest it at the threshold.
rudeness and abuse can ever be eloquent
Mr.. Burgess certainly was so n this dispute
out IN virulence and passionate expression he
has far distanced any of his compeers of this
session of Congress, for which, as we love
order and decorum, we hope the history Of
our country will find no parallel.
ANOTHER FRAcAs. The alteration in
Congress between Messrs. McDuffie and
Burgess, of which we give the particulars
to-day, is an affair in which the character
of the nation is concerned, and will be no.
ticed with deep regret and Indignation by
every friend of his country. Not so, how
ever, another fracas which took place in the
rotunda of the capitol at Washington on
Tuesday last. The way for an editor to
bring himself into notice nowadays is to
boast, and flout, and bully, and fight. Mr..
Russell Jarvis, now one of the editors of the
Washington Telegraph, the leading Jackson
paper, seems to be in the successful pursuit
of this curse. It will be recollected that
he gained sort of fisticuff notoriety pre-
yious to his leaving Boston, and it now
appears hat ne mas had bout with Mr.. j..
Adams, son of the President. Mr.. Adams, as
the story goes, insulted Jarvis at one of the
Presidents levees, in revenge of which the
redoutable stone-dealer* embraced the first
opportunity of wringing his nose. Mr.. A.,
without stopping to put his nose in shape,
proceeded to belabour his antagonist with a
cane, till the combattants were separated
by member of Congress. They ought to
have formed ring, as in old times, and let
the boys fight till they had thumped into
each other some notion of good manners.
The editors of the Boston Gazette say, and
they seem to~say it in sorrow, that Jack
son will certainly be the next President,
and they seriously admonish the people of
New-England to prepare themselves for the
important change.
When the army was quartered in Cam
bridge in 1775, rife company was ordered
to be raised in Philadelphia to join it. The
captain who formed the company had so
many applications that they exceeded his
demand and he resorted to curious ex-
pedent to limit his number without giving
offence to any one. He chalked out the fig
ure of nose of the common size on a board,
and placing it at the distance of one hun
dred and fifty yards, told them that such as
could hit the mark should enlist. Sixty odd
hit it. The Philadelphia papers of the day,
in relating this anecdote, added to it =
i" General Gage, take care Of your nose p
If the editors of the Boston Gazette be
correct, and if there be any reason for the
prediction that Mr.. Jaryis's assault upon Mr..
Adams is ominous of Gen. Jackson's reign,
there will be much need of repetition of
the caution, to all the quiet people of New
England, those who have lived in the faith
of the Hartford Convention especially =
Take care Of your noses.
%This win be understood to allude to Mr. Jarvis's
business in Boston, which was dealing in granite.
and not BY any means to his dealing with the litho-
graphic stone which his partner, Duff Green, was
represented teaching the prince of liars to lie.
MORE MoRGANIsM. Dead or living, poor
Capt. Morgan will not be suffered to rest till
Solomon Southwick is placed in the guber-
material chair Of New-York. It is now said
that Morgan still lives and breathes, at
Smyrna, where has put himself under the
protection of the Hadgi-Bey, has been cir
cumcised, invested with turban, a pair of
wide trowsers, and all that sort of thing, and
on the whole has become quite an accom-
plished Mussulman. The captain of avessel
which recently arrived at New-York from
Smyrna gives the editor Of the Evening Post
this account, and states that the man sup
posed to be the long-lost and murdered
Morgan is called there the American Turk.
No particular description is given of his
person; but Mrs. Morgan will probably be
sent out to examine his teeth, by which she
will no doubt identify him, as she did the
last time he was found, in Niagara river.
CANALS. The Worcester Spy states that
the Blackstone canal is in a good state OF
forwardness, and that such arrangements
have been made for the completion of it that
1t will probably be ready for use for the fall
trade. On. the first eight days after the
