FOR PRESIDENT
MARTIN VAN buren,.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
RICHARD vi. JOHNSON.

The lst session of the Oath Congress commenced
on Monday last. The Senate and House of Rep
resentatves were probably organised in season to
receive the Message of the President at the usual
time, VIZ by Tuesday at twelve o'clock. II is gem
orally understood that Mr. Polk of Tennessee. is
the administration candidate for speaker of the
House and will doubt be elected in spite of the
efforts of the opposition to create division in The
Democratic ranks, by throwingiheir votes for some
other administration candidate
The Wee President is as usual at his post and
VIII OF course take his seat President of the Sen.
ale. The message was probably received in New
York late last evening, by express from Washing
ton and may be expected in this by the Steam
boat Tomorrow morning. Several important cir
cumstances will render docu ment of extraordn-
AIRY interest to the country at large. The French
question: the abolition question. the movements in
Texas of this character. They will, with all
other matters be set forth to the sovereign people
in their usual orci bic and patriotic style by the Old
Hero, who stands second only to Washington in
the confidence, affection and gratitnde of the grea,
majority of the free aud intelligent citizens of this
Republic.

cra hundred, turned out for the purpose of finding
the little unfortunate trunnt, but after several days
Of faithful search, gave the child up as forever lost,

child was lost, The prarics, were on fire, and
were filing the whole country with smoke aud
flame, which rendered it more than probable, that
The obrc of their search must have persisted IN the
general conlagration OF vegetation. In the even,
of an escape from the fire, however, ii was no less
danger from perishng with the cold, by being
posed to the nclcmcncy of the weather. at TINS SEA-

four or five days search, induced the inhabitants To

they returned Ia their homes, conscious of having
done all that duty required of them, towards restor
