\ SENATOR WELL FLOGGFD.

We learn from an authentic source, that lnoM-
VS. MoEuIs, the Van Barren Senator in Congress,
from this State, and who ,hamrlcssly miSropre-
sent, the viii of majority of the people of Ohio,
got severe and well deserved hceeins, a short
time arc, in the town OF Bethel, the place of his
residence.
The particular, represented 10 u, follows 3:
little son Of Nj. George Abrams, "a highly re-
spectacle gentleman OF that town. went into the
orchard OF Mr. Jefferson Morris, d son of the Sen
ater',, 10 gather some apples, by Jefferson, per-
MISSION, aud being found on the premises 10y the
Senator, was severed, beaten b, him, with a ire-
mendou' Ni,h. The bo, repeatedly declared to
Morris while suffering under the infection of his
blows, that Jefferson Morri, had given linn pcrms-
sion 10 take the apple. This however, did not
shield tho boy from most cruel beating
Mr.. ABRAMS highly nccnscd at the treatment his
son lMd received, met the Senator in the street, a
few days afterwards, and gay, him a very severe
noceinc with his fists. The Senator had three of
his front teeth knocked out 1.-TWO of them artificial
and otherwise considerably manned. Mr.
Abrams, however, was not induced to rrlinquish
his pngnacous hold, until the screams and cmrca-
tics OF Mrs. Morris, who had rushed to the rescue
OF her husband, now begging Justify for quarters,
had excited his compassion.
Soon as Morris found the hold of his a>sailant
rellnqnIShed he took 10 his heels with inconsd-
cradle expedition. During his retreat, howc,-
or, he discovered scylh' hanging upon horse.
rack in front Of ncighhorng store, Which he i'm
mcdIatcly seized, and with it rushed back ,Ipon his
unarmr d antagonist Mr.. Abrams now rctrcatcd
few steps with a view of picking up 4 brick bat
near al hand which, having succeeded in getting,
turned again upon Morris. At this moment the
latter threw the scythe al the former, which pas
sed close to his head without doing any injury.
Morris being deprived Of his potent weapon
once more took to his heels, and thus saved himself
from further castigation.
SO unpopular is Morris with his neighbors, and
so richly did they think he deserved the chastise-
men he received, that about hundred of them
gathered together in the evening TO celebrate the
event. After sercnading Mr.. Abrams, and firing
numerous guns OF rejoicing, they quietly retired to
their homes.
Morris has since indicted Abrams but we un-
derstand that every lawyer in the county, except
Morris's son-in-aw, has volunteered in Abrams's
defence. L. is alleged, that .ho lid n, be Snal ,he

The same paper add, - In case the election
OF President should deyoyc upon the House, the
votes OF the above States would stand thus: For
Van Buren, Chose in Roman) II against him
(thosc in Italic) 10; blank (Mssouri,) /; total
p. Maryland will give its vote against Van Bu-
rem, aud Mississippi probably for him" Accord
ing TO this calculation, which the reader will per-
cei'e is as partial to Mr. Van Buren, as his best
friend could desire, that gentleman cannot be
elected by the House and it is now very certain
that that duty will dcyolNc ppon that body. We
by no means, however, regard it rs settled thino
that the vote, either of Rhodc-I.land, Conucc,icn
New jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia. Gcorgia.
Indiana OF Illinois will be given to Mr.. Van Blu
ren, because majority Of the members of the
House ot Representatives from each of those
States, are III favor of his election. They all we
presume, acknowledge the right of instruction, and
the duty of voting, in tie ultimate resort, in ac-
cord'ncc with the previous ola majority of the
people whom they respectively represent From
present indications, We are OF opinion that Rhode
l,land Connecticut and New Jersey will vote for
Mr. Webster that Virginia, Georgia and
Missouri will vote for Judge White; and that
PennSy vania, illinoi, and Indiana will vote for
Cen Harrison. Mississippi, too, will, in all pro-
liability, Vote for Judge " hitc. Indeed, we shonld
not re surprised if Mr. Van Barren should be ey-
Guided from the House of Representatives aogetI-
er-and consequently if the contest before that
body should lie between Webster, White and IIar
r,on-in which event, the election Of the latter
who seems to be the second choice Of all parties,
would be almost certain.
In Cur estimate, we take it for granted that the
friends OF the respective opposition candidates will
not ANAL 5amatc, but talt each of them will CONT
nue. To adhere to lheirfWorite In that event. we
repeat, it is more thaa probable that Van Buren,
will receive fewer votes than either Of his connect
tors, and will consequently be excluded from the
contest before the Ilousc-a consumD,ation most
