CONGRESS. ss.-The first session Of the
Twenty-fiflh Congress will commence on
Monday next, Dec. 4,h. The Presi-
dents Message will undoubtedly be re-
ceived here from New York, by the boat
on Thursday morning. We notice by
our exchange papers, that large num-
ber Of members from the various sections
Of the country, have already arrived at
the Seat of Government. The Hon.
Messrs ROBBINS and CRANsToN, left this
place yesterday afternoon in the steam
boat for New York, on their way to
Washington. The Hon. Mr.. TILLlNG-
HAST, Of Providence, We regret to learn,
has been much indsposed for some time
past, and whether he would be able to
tie at his post at the opening Of the scs-
sion, was quite uncertain.

New HAMpsnrns.-A Wing Convention

New HAMPsnIRs.-A Wing Convention
WIS held at Concord last week, said to have
been the largest political Convention ever
held in New England, there being upwards
of SIR hundred members present. The pro-
ceedings we're conducted with the utmost
unanimity and harmony Of feeling, as well as
earnestness Of purpose. Gen. JAMES WILL
SON, of Keene, a gentleman emincntly quail
fed, was unanimously nominated and agreed
upon as the Wing candidate for Governor at
the ensuing election in March. There has
been no serious contest between the two
great parties in New Hampshire, since 1882,
when the Wings were beaten by majority
of 8 or 1000. Since that time the elections
have gone by default in favor of Isaac Hill
and his followers-thc Wings declining to
make any effort. At the Presidential cleo
ton, last fall, the Van Buren, ticket had but
1922, and the Wing ticket G,22S. The
Wings could at any time within the last ten
years have polled more than both these num-
bers united. In March next, the Wings will
ngain rally and make trial Of their strength
and from present appearances, glorious re-
suit mny be confidently anticipated.

UNITY OF THE WHIG PARTY.

The facts stated in the following paragraph
from the Baltimore Chronicle, so far as they
relate to Mr.. WEBSTER, (says the Boston
Atlas,) are perfectly authentic. Mr.. WEB-
srER, during the late celebrations, has on
several occasions, publicly declared, that he
had no wishes, and no objects of pursuit,
personal to himself; and that he was ready
to concur, heart and hand, in the support of
any candidate who might be nominated by a
National Convention" Mr.. Webster's friends
show the same feelings and doubt not, the
same patriotic sentiments are entertained by
the friends Of all the candidates. 1t is the
course, and the only course of wisdom and
safety.
"Thc Globe is amusing itself with the ac-
counts published in the papers of the late
enthusiastic meeting Of Wings in Boston, at
which Daniel Webster presided. Ii takes
especial pains to discover some ultcrior OBJ
cct in the proceedings, and divnes from
them that Mr.. Webster is determined at all
events to be candidate for the Presidency.
/ Il may be well to put such n supposltion to
rest, at once. II is perfectly well understood,
amongst Mr.. Webster's friends, that he will
not stand in the way Of the success Of the
Whip candidate. Who that candidate is to
bc, will be settled by National Convention.
Whether il be Mr.. Clay, Gen. Harrison or Mr..
Webster. the man selected by that conven-
ton will be the only Uhig candidate. II

voice Of the grca, Wing party, as expressed
through a convention, should push his pre-.

much from $4,000, and there is an insurance
upon the property for $4,000, and $4,000

papers, but had n month to run.
The fire is supposed To have been caused
by defect in one Of the flues, the fires hav-

some rumors of fincendiarsm, and the Courier
of this morning says that the watchman who
first discovered the fire, states that about an

ever, we scarce ever knew it to fail that

its being an Sample reiutation" of the

other folks than hireling editors, will
judge of. The statements of Mr.. Fletch-

as correct, as the mere assertion to the
contrary Of the editor Of the N Y. Ev-

ney)--in particular manner with those
who are best acquainted with them both.
The gentlemaniy parsonage, who fig

however satisfied with copying this
sample refuta,ion," as he chooses to call
it, from the Even Post, but must step
out of his way to abuse us, (as he has Of
ten done before,) for publishing the
speech alluded to. What he means by
saying that it is matter "of course, any
thing which may contain false charges
and mis-statcments respecting the Ad-
ministraton, will most assuredly be found
in the columns Of that veracious print,

publishing any false statements respect
ing the Administration-the truth is bad
enough, and the tories know il full well
and it is that they most dread to encoun-

the present unhappy state Of mind of our

come tidings Of the prostration of toryism
and loco-locoism, which has recently
been pouring in from almost every quar-

equanimity, and returned to his old hab-

been mighty civil of late-wonderfully

We have indeed, almost marveIled at
