 EF We are obliged to make out our Congressional summary altogether from the New York papers. Al. though we take two Washington papers, the lmelli- gencer and Telegraph, they tardy in their riva be almost entirely useless Since the open tug of Congrese aot solitary instance has occurred in which have obtained the proceedings through the Washington papers so early as by those from New York; For instance, as the present moment we have the proceedings through New-York to Friday last, whereas the latest by the Integcncer is of Monday four daye behind. In the Telegraph we have Mon. days and Thursdays date only. Where the fault lies we of course cannot tell but we do believe that |, al,Ooys and aitogsher with the rascoly poe,mas ters." ~
 The Legislature Of Massachusetts met on ihe 1st iast. In each house the National Republican candi- staes for presiding officer were chosen. In the Sem ate Mir. Daniel T. Pickman unanimously, and in the F9ouse Mr. Wm. B. Calhoun had 500 out of 50l vo,es This however is hy test of the strength of the par,ies-tor there good many antimasons as well as Jacksonians and workies in the egislaure.- The choice of Governor tthe people having failed to elect) it thought would not take place until Mon- day of this week. Mr. J.Q. Adams, who was one of che candidates heE,re the people, writes home from Washington that he "should deem it his duty to de- cline accepting the appointment" should he be elect ed-he therefore wishes not to he voted for. The choice will most likely fall upon Mir. Davis. the Ma tiona Republican candidate, who is also at Washing ion at present attending 10 his duties as member of the House of Representatives; but coali.ion a treadfully suspicious word 10 Jaoksonians, med- sa,sd between the antics and Jacksonmen, here.is no Knowing, cersaia "who will be Governor iill after election"
 p We since learn that the National Republican parry tn the Ouee have filled a the vacancies in the Senate with candidates of their own chOice-which leaves less room lo donbt who will be Governor.
 
 Major Downiag.-lt may not be generally known that in the village of Caase, in JeGerson county, N Y. ilere is axe factory uioR small scale, (not aiming to equal ei.e great establishments Of Collins Gs Co. asd fIarrisons in this sta,e The propretors of flia establishment Messsss SfaFia q Co. Who ty the bye take 10 he genuine sons ofhumor, have lately sent to that distinguished civilian aud warrior Major Jack Downing oi their highly finished axes, through the editors of the N. Y.

We too draw near h oar offering. IL is a single axe, and is intended as small token of regard for one who as states. man, patriot, soldier, yields to no one. You will, of course, perceiver that we can mean other than Major Downing of Downingv gviIle-,he bed-fellow and privy counsellor of" him ina, ~as born to command" rhe Kitchen Cabinet. And we can assure the Major that his axe has more ihan one of the requisite qaa fca,ions for President Its helve is of hckosy-in Kentucky parlance, "is savage a meat axe" and of course "can look on blood and carnage with composure." We confidently hope that the gallant Major M arcepi of this irAe a token of the high estimation in which he is holden and, encouraged by applause, go on he has begun, subtraciing every snperauous wheel from the government tI i is redu ced io n machine simple top, and direct and en- erge,ic as guioiine.''" e
