NPThe Summer and Fall elections commence
about this time. The first is in Louisiana. Let
tiers from New Orleans published in N York papers,
express entire confidence of electing Wing Gov
ernor, and pretty strong conviction that the Wings
will elect the whole Delegation in Congress-three
members. Several other important elections will
follow in August, and very few months will sat
isy the blindes adherents of the administration that
its fate is sealed past redemption. Every ubserv-
ing man has been satisfied of it ever since the cleo
tons last fall. A recent letter from Detroit says
the Wings will as surely elect Wing member of
Congress in Michigan at the next election the
sun rises, and majority in the Legislature.

D-The LamoiHs Express says the people will
look to the Richmond Enquirer for "expositions,
explanations, and arguments" upon the defunct
Sub Treasury Bill. The people have looked to the
Enquirer, and for once it has led them in the right
path, even in old democratic Virginia, than which
no State is more hostile to the Sub. Treasury Bill,
nor no paper in the Union stronger in its opposition
to it than the Enquirer, although it supports Van
Buren, except in this one measure. The Express
is, should be aware, that great number of the
leading papers, the early advocates of Mr. Van Bu-
rem to the Office of President, now condemn HIM
and this Bill in the most pointed manner and in
so doing, they only follow the voice of the people.

its vicinity, which is very fattering to the Wings.
The news of The defeat of the Sub Treasury Bill

called it a ''ietheral lie" and issued handful to
that effect. Slidel is the V. b. candidate.

acknowledgements PROCEEDINGS. The
Senate on Sunday morning were in Session till a
o o'clock and the House till 8. Several members of
the House who were conscentiousy scrupulous
about sitting into Sunday, and who had retired to
their beds at IL, were dragged out to the House by
the Sergeant at Arms by virtue of warrant from
the Speaker. The venerable Elk President, j. u.
Adams, was excused from this dragging process by
reason ofhis age. We do not believe it is the wish
of the people that their public servants should thus
desecrate the Sabbath, bring reproach upon the
ton, and put at defiance the commands of Him who
in mercy dwelt with our Pilgrim fathers and guild
ed their children glorious victory though the
dark hours ofthe Revolution, and enabled them TO
establish, as they thought, upon the foundations Of
virtue and righteousness, the free institutions of
the land. The people should protest against these

and sluggard idleness have finished all the public

first number of an Administration paper published
at Derby Line, this State. 1t goes the whole for
Van Buren,, Sub Treasury and all.

upon the borders of that county, There appears
be concert of action in these arrangements, and
they are not without their design. The small Wing

inspire the Locotocos to pitch Of desperation, and
the most strenuous exertons will be made to de-

should make special efforts to circulate, in every

NTThe Vermont Patriot says the N. II. Legis-
lature have perry foOlishly suspended the Law, pro-
hibiting the circulation of small bills, for two years.
OF all legislation that attempted, this Jack
son and Van Buren, legislation TO suppress the small
bill circulation, has proved to be the most futile.
The laws could not be enforced any where, and as
soon the temporary ascendancy OF party Tyranny
ceased, the People have promptly abrogated them.
There WILDE neither tranquility nor return to a
regular state of business in the country until the
Locofoco party deprived of the power to do
further mischief. Every business man should now
put forth his best exerlions to effect political
form which shall permit him to resume his accus-
toned avocations without disturbance. Nobody
prospers now but the Office holders.

drowned in Moose river. The lad ventured out
upon log lying partly ov er the rver,from which

down stream so rapidly that all efforts to rescue
him were unsuccessful, though the utmost exer

REBELLION. The nomination OF MIR Fairfield by
the Van Buren, party in Maine a candidate for
Governor does satisfy that portion of the party
who oppose the Sub Treasury. A convention has
been called to meet at Bangor to make Conser

union with the Wings.
