CONGR ESS,

Our adviccs from Washington are down TO
Thursday, when both houses adjoured over
10 Monday. The business Of the sessions,
thus far, amounts to little or nothing beyond
the ordinary routine Of organization. The
election Of o now Clerk is tho only event OF
any political importance. Hugh A. Garland,
Of Virginia, supporter Of the administration,
was elected on the third ballot, by majority
OF two votes, over Matthew ST. Clair Clark
the Wing Candidate. Mr.. Garland, however
was not exactly the Van Buren,, but the south.
ern candidate. Mr.. Van Buren's favorite can.
didato was Edward Livingston, Of Now York
who received on the first ballot 81 votes, and
was then abandoned, Tho ''northern mar
with southern feelings" as the Richmond
Enquirer styles the President, was thus given
10 understand that a man who cannot carry
his own state must not put on airs. The

The Buffalo commercial Advertiser has
report of another fare up on The frontier.
1t is stated by those who profess 10 have
been eye Witnesses of the facts, that
body OF Patriots about 200 in NUMBER
crossed the Detroit river on Tuesday week,
landing at Sandwich where they burnt
several buildings, together with the steam
boat Thames, and repulsed an attack from
a British regular force, killing some 60 Of
the regulars, with the loss Of but ONE on
she part of tho Patriots. They retained
psssossion Of Sandwich, and were about TO
push their success. when our informants left
This 10 the substance Of the report, frou
which the reader must make the usual de-
duction OF fifteen per cent.
Since the above was in type, we hav,
received the Buffalo Mercury, which pub
fishes the following information from
Detroit.
On the morning Of the 4th, the Patriots
whose number has been variously stated, a
from five 10 nine hundred, crossed over fou
miles above Sandwich. This village 10 oppo

New York that Mr.. Price, the District
Attorney, has also absconded, under cir
cums,ances which leave little doubt that
he is defaul,cr to the amount Of secen or
EIGHT hundred thousand dollars. He went
out privately in the Liverpool, and it is
understood has gone to join his compatriot,
Mr.. Swurtwout, in London.
A large defalca,on 10 also said TO have
arisen under the very reprehenslb'e prac'
tico of allowing The heads of bureaus to
draw appropriations for specific objects out
of the treasury, and lace the same in
bank to their individual credit. One OF
these officers has recently resigned.
twill be recollected tlat much complaint
has been made of late, IN the part Of the
Indians, that their amuiics were not
promptly paid. Recent Investigations show
that in several instances where the annuities
are charged as pald OF tie department, the
Indians have never received O dollar The
agents have pocketed the money, and
probably ubsconced.
These facts Indicate, TO clearly to be
misunderstood, the existence Of deep seated
corruption, and the next three months will
bring to light deeds Of darkness that will
astonsh the nation. A full development,
however, is not to be expected this session.
The administration bis bare majority 10
the present House, aid Mr.. Speaker Polk
will appoint committee suited to tho
emergency. Aware that the wings will
have the power to mike thorough inves'
tigation next sessn, the administration
will now doubtless endeavor 10 break the
force OF the exposue by q partial devel-
opcmenl of,he facs, and judicous report
from a white washing committee. 1t will
be, however, of naval. BY the following
ominous paragraph, from the Globe, it
would appear tint there arc some further
tales to be told. But the conservatives, it
seems are TO anwer for all the mischief.
eff we had rom we could tales unfold that
would harrow up he souls Of even the most jealous
Conservatives. We could tell how, among the
deposi,e banks, there was one that made false
return TO The Treasury Department Of nearly a
million Of dollars in the amount of its available
means how, thr0gh collision between the depos
tie banks and the receivers Of public money in some
parts of the counry, The orders sent from the
Treasury Department were utterly disregardet
whereby the currenv OF these parts Of The country
was reduced TO ihirt per cent. below par how
certain banks, under pretended claims against the
Go, ernment, withheld a part of the public money
&c. &c."
Out with it. Tie people are anxious te
hear.

Speaking Of the late defalcalions, the

speaking OF the late detalcatlOns, the
President says
"The Government, must be admitted, has been
from its commencement comparatively fortunate in
this respect. But The appointing power cannot
always be well advised in its selections, and the
experience of every country has shown thar public
officers are not all times proof against temptation"
Until the present men in power under
took to reform the government, we were
indeed fortunate" Up to that day men
were selected for Office with special REFER
ence o their qualifications ard their tegri.
ty, and such men are very apt to be "proof
against temptation" Honest men, how.
eve,, were turned out to make room for
unprincipled partizans, who were instruct ed
from the senate chamber to consider public
trusts as the legitimate ''spois of victory"
They have so treated them. ind no man is
disappointed at the result. And yet the
President affects to be surprised that
human nature is not "proof against (such)
temptation" He treats tie uniform in.
tegrily Of public officers under the admin
istrations of Washington, Jefferson, Madi,
son, Munroe. and Adams, as the result Of
mere accident; while be would have it
inferred that all at once mankind have
become marvelously corrupt. Very mod.
est, indeed! and the latter conclusion is
but too well supported by the unprccoden.
ted corruptions of the men in power. Blu,
we apprehend few men will concur will
Mr.. Van Buren, in assigning SO prominen
an agency to chance, in securing The service,
of honest men; and very little reflection
indeed, will enable most men to account
for the present state of things, wilhou

EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS

HARRIsBURG, Pa, Dec. 4 This being
the day assigned by the constitution for
the meeting of the Legislature, the mem.
bers elect of The House assembled at II
o'clock for the purpose of organising.
have just returned from the capital,
and proceed to give you hurried account
Of the most remarkable scene that | ever
Saw, or heard Of, in legislative hall.
The clerk commenced the reading OF the
returns, as usual. beginning with the city
Of Philadelphia, and proceeding in due
order through the several counties of the
commonwealth. When he came to the
county Of Philadelphia, and was about TO
read the Wing returns handed TO him, &C.
cordlng to law, bv the secretary of the
commonwealth, Mr. Pray, one Of the Van
Buren, disputed members from the county,
rose and stated that the returns in the po
session of the clerk were false; and that
he held 10 his hand the only legal returns,
which he would give TO the clerk, and re,
quire TO be read as such.
Mr.. Smith protested against the recep-
ton of that paper as being illegal and void
and was replied TO, in violent speech by
Mr.. McElwee of Bedford, who was Gu,
short by a proposition that both returns
be disposed OF, before any farther action
should be had on the subject.
When this was concluded, Mr.. Stevens
moved that the members proceed to the
election Of speaker, and that Messrs
Watts and Zeilin act as teers.
A motion was simultaneously made by
an opposition member to the same effect
and that Messrs-and-tloco focos act as
telcrs.
Each motion was adopted, as each party
claims majorty--both sets of dele les
from the county of Philadelphia, Tor, as ii
is called, par erteiiance, in the senate and
the house, the county, voting with their
respective party. Each of the parties took
no notice Of the proceedings of the other
and voted upon no question not originating
with itself
Gen. Cunningham, of Mercer, was elec'
ted by the wings; and Mr.. Hopkins, o
Washington by the other side. Both were
conducted to the speakers platform. ant
one standing on each side of the speakers
chair, both returned thanks 10 the House
for The honor conferred, &c.
A motion came from each party for the
appointment; of a committee to wait on
the Sedate, and inform them that the house
was orgonized and ready 10 proceed to
business

CHURCH BLOWN UP.--The Baptist
church at Redding, Con. was partially
destroyed by powder, on the morning OF the
Goth ult. 1t appears that Mr.. Colver had
been lecturing in the church for number
of evenings, on the subject of immediate
emancipation, and in the course of biz
lectures, had taken occasion to exhibit be.
fore his audience the practical amalgama
tionism of the Vice President of tho u
States, the Hon. Richard M. Johnson
lie accused this distinguished parsonage
Of making merchandise of the offspring oil
his own loins, of selling his own sons and
daughters into slavery. This so enraged

PUBLIC TREASURY PLUNDERED

There seems to be no longer room to
doubt that the national treasury has been
plundered, to an alarming extent, by the
dlsbursing officers, and others entrusted
with the collection and keeping Of the
peoples money. The President, it will be
observed has officially announced defal.
cation on the part Of the late collector at
N. York, "of the gravest character" Mr.
Swartwout, it seems, has appropriated
about million and a haU OF the public
funds TO private uses, and has absconded,
giving his bail seasonablc notice, to enable
them TO put their property out Of the reach
of the government. This pecuation, il
seems commenced with his official caroor,
and was continued up TO the day Of his
retirement, and this too, it would seem,
without ever being suspected by those
o'gtant guardians Of the public interest
who administer at Washington! Can this
be posslbe' and if true, what may we moi
expect when full exposition shall be made
of the numerous other instances of the kline
which there is too much reason to believe
actually exist. There will be no longer
any marvel that the government is bank,
rupt.
In addition TO the above we learn from

THE PROCLAMATION.

We almost despair of getting an opinion
from the Sentinel in relation to this docu.
ment. We have therefore copied the
remarks of an administration paper in Phi.
ladelphia, and another at Fort Coving on,
N, Y. in order TO show our readers in what
light the thing is viewed by those who
have independence enough to express their
sentiments. The reader is referred to
another column.
