01rOn our first page, to-day, we have placed couple of original articles, to make room for news on the inside columns. If our fair correspondent 70" will reUse her articles little more carefully, we see not why she may not be able to write very accepta- ble series of essays.
 CoNGREss.-It will be seen by our congressional ex tracts that both Houses have the past week been in considerable ferment in regard to the subject of abo tion. It really appears that 1.-the Southern mem bers would shew little less heat, and use more dis cretion, that this exciting question might be alayed without difficulty. But so long they are so easily thrown into such tremendous paroxysms of passion,
 men enough will be found in Congress lift is only to see them rave, to throw missiles in their way.
 [Messrs. Holt, Phelps and Whittlesey of Con. voted in the affirmative on MT. Patton's resolution, and
 CANADA.-The accounts from this country would, if published as given in detail from day to day in the New-York papers, occupy much more space than we can devote to one subject. We have however drawn pretty largely upon them, in order to give view of what is there doing It appears evident to us that so far the Royasts, those devoted to the government are caled have decidedly the advantage. In nearly all the skimishes that have taken place, the patriots have come off second best-and indeed we are nclin- ed think they not so good and brave soldiers the government troops though fighting they claim for their liberty and independence. They make no such bold stands as rebel foreathers did at BUN KER's HILL and other places. From what we can ga ther by implication from the Canada papers, we are inclined to believe also that there has been some hang ing in Montreal under martial law. But we shall hear further in few days-and our readers shall have the benefit of the information.
 CoRREcr-The Governors of New-York and Yer mont have each issued proclamation exhorting the good citizens the frontiers of their respective states to maintain strict neutrality between the combat ants in Canada. Gov. Marcy aludes particularly to the recent movements of the people in and around Buffalo, with the avowed intention of taking part in the disturbances which prevail in Upper Canada" and calls upon them in energetic language "to desst from their unlawful proceedings" and upon the off cers and magistrates "to bring the offenders to pun ishment.' We hope that this may have salutary effect upon the efforts of few fool-hardy domestic patriots who are endeavoring to embrol this country into hostile attitude with Great Britain, and thus pave the way for taking part with the paros of Canada.
 Political Mission-A friend from Fairfield County, informs that the Editor of the Times has for the last ten days been visiting various towns in Litchfeld New Haven, and Fairfield Counties upon m election eerng expedition and that he held forth occasionally in the Bar-rooms Our friend, who is Van Buren man, remarks, that it matter for the Wings how often the missionary repeats his vsts for such agent will certainly make two Wings to one Van Bu ren man-Har!ford COurant.
 We trust our friend of the Courant will not find fault with these political missionaries doing all they enlighten the minds of the people, It should be membered that :he more these missionaries endeavor to spread their doctrines through the land the the people aroused to of their wrongs, and the determined they to vindcate themselves The pot-house politicians of the Times are in no dan- ger of doing any injury to the whig in Litchfeld county.
 The great political Loco Foco Meeting at Hartford, about which the Hartford Times has been making a great parade for some days past, and which it was proclaimed far and wide to reconcile the jarring
 feelings of the loco focos and conservatives, was held last Wednesday evening. We gather from the Courant that about three hundred persons in the whole, were present at the meeting, one hundred of whom were Wings, about fifty boys also present, and there was about one hundred and fifty persons who took part in the meeting-genune Locos. We understand that Henry Seymour, Esq. presided, and that the meeting was addressed by Samuel H. Hunt ington, Thomas II. Seymour, Henry A. Mitchell, William M. Holland, and J. Averi, Esqrs. Some of the speeches were said to be as radical as Fanny Wright could desire. On the whole it was most splendid abortion!''
 And the Patriot, a thorough going Van Buren pa. per- and organ of the conservative branch of the par ty, says :-"1 1.-the meetng] accomplished about as much towards that object as was expected and that was just nothing. None of the fathers of the demo- cratic party who had fought its battles times that tried mems souls" were to be found there-and n- stead of fulfilling their promises of concession-that nothing should he said done which every democrat would not approve, (which promises induced some honest democrats to sign the "cal' that can never sanction the doctrines of the Loco Focos) their prnci- pal measures were proposed for Ge sole purpose of meeting the UieCs c other than he Loco Focos and they knew full well that the Democracy could never unite with them in support of such measures One of the resolutions approves entirely of the Treas ury scheme, though it is called by another name.- The orignators of the meeting. no doubt would have been fully satisfied had other resolution been adop- ted for tha. was the sole object for which called whatever is said to the contrary. Let not our friends in the country be deceived by the false cry of union and harmony which is raised by the Loco Foco organ in this city, for they may rely upon it that those who have been duped and trapped by its misrepresena- tons in relation this project will visit the interested agitators with ten fold vengeance. Let them keep
