NIoTiMIzED.-It seems, now, to be Ger
tain, that Governor Shannon is to be sacri
feed. No paper holding any standing ir
the party has spoken with any enthusiasm
OF his message, and il many cases, it has
been spoken against, or damned with faint
praise. The governor has erred in forget
ting the politicians definition of Words
"things used to conceal ideas''--and has
laid down few propositions so plainly, that
they cannot be got around or explained
away, by any sort Of quibbling or mental
reservation, whatever. Governor Shannon
also has shown himself TO possess one fail
ing which cannot be tolerated in party
chief magistrate. He has mind and an
opinion of his own, in political matters, and
has sense enough to be reformer without
being radical, and will to improve rather
than to destroy. The fiat has gone forth.
and Wilson Shannon IS marked as its vic
tim.
"Our flag is OUT says the Cleveland
Gazette; "the banner of Harrison, Liberty
and the Constitution, we now spread to the
breeze, as onr anchor efhope;' (hope you'll
find good holding ground in the sky, brother
HillD says the Ohio Transcript; eve have
flung our banner to the Winds" says the
Wheeling Times, and such hosting of
banners, flags, standards, sheets and so forth,
you never did see. All the old, worn out
quotations now come in play, such as:
"FOrever float that standard sleet,'r
and
"Eang out our banner on the outer walls
The locofocos, too, have hcisted their
banner. The old petticoat has thrown a
CLEAN over their imaginations. The petit
coat is out, and the Ohio Statesman has al
ready touched a note, which will soon meet
with response from every locofoco print
in the state of OHIO.
Ap SHENKIN.-The Welch citizens of
Columbus held an indignation meeting, on
the 18th, because the locofocos would not
vote to have the Governors Message print
ed in their language. Certainly, the Wech
are as much entitled to the privilege o'Iea-
ding the book of Shaunonian wisdom in
their own tongue, as the Dutch, and for our
own part, we can see the utmost propriety
In translating it into Wyandott and Pota-
watomie, and sending it to the heathens.

A SUSPICIOUS VESSEL ON THE

the appearance of having been at sea about
three months. Long grass was growing upon
her bottom, and her sails were much torn. a,
if she had been driving about, at the mercy of
the gale, with her sails set, aud no one at the
helm. On approaching the vessel a number OF
negroes. twenty-five or thirty. we're seen on
deck. Some were almost or quite naked, some
were wrapped in blankets, and one had on q
white coat. They were armed with muske,s
and cuilasses. One of them had belt of dol.
lars round his waist; another, called the CAP
fain' had gold watch. They could speak no
English, but appeared to talk in the negro
language.
! 1t is supposed that the negroes bad risen on
the captain aud his assistants and captured her.
Tne steam irigate Fulton and other armed
vessels were Immediately dispatched from New
ork' to pursue and bring her in but the Full

obtained charts, sailed again Immediately.
The Vigian having taken supply of provis-

heard that the suspicious vessel was taken in
Gardners Bay by the U. S. Brig Washington.

at l2 O'Clock on Monday night. She proves to
be the Spanish schooner that was reported a
week or two since, as having sailed from Cuba

Forty negroes and two spaniards were found

TWENTY SIXTH CONGRESS.

The following table exhibits the result Of the
elections for Members Of the 26th Congress in
all but three Of the States, via. Rhode Island,
Maryland. and Mississippi. The basis Of the
which we have chosen as showing the strength
of parties as they will probably vote for speak
er; though by so doing we give the federal
Wings four or five more members than justly
belongs TO them, and more than they will have
when the contested seats are settled. OurOwn
opinion is that the wings ought not TO be
allowed to avail themselves of the gross fraud
by which the five federal candidates in New
Jersey obtained their certificates OF election, to
place one Of their faction in the Speakers
chair. 1t is only by the use Of this fraud, if at
all, that il can be done.

EXCITEMENT IN BALTIMORE.

bANi T. vi T. y lN DhL IL MOhE.
We learn from the Baltimore papers that
there has been quite an excitement in that city
in consequence Of the escape OF a nun, sister
lla,-formerly Miss Neal. of ST. Mary's
couDIy-irom the Nunnery in Aisquith street,
which took place on Sunday afternoon week.
IL appears that the nun was insane and had been
gradually growing worse for number of years,
and took an opportunity in one of her parox-
ysms, OF getting out of window into the street.
Rumors of every ridiculous kind were soon a.
hoat, aud great crowd assembled. There be
lug cause to expect riotous proceedings the
Mayor and police repaired to the spot aud the
nun was sent to the hospital at Washington
College. The Chronicle SAYS:
The crowd, however, did not separate, as
was reasonably to have been expected, but con
tinned IN more or less force throu ghout the at
ternoon. In the evening, measure OF
precaullon. the Mayor ordered out the CITY
Guards IN aid of the civil authority, in main
taning quiet aud order, and compelling ODE
dence TO the laws. The brigade of Guards
turned out IN great force, and about the time
OF their appearance. the crowd began to disperse.
The Guards remained on the ground until a
late hour in the evening. or until the signs OF
commoti had beco ne di,srpated."
The Baltimore Post adds:
"W We learn that at the request of the Rev,
Mr.. Glldea. superintendent OF the Institution. a
committee consisting OF Gen. Leakip, Mayor OF
the city, Judge Worrhinston. OF the City Court,
and Henry Myers, Esq, went yesterday even.
ing through the entire building and into eyery
department TO satisfy themselves whether any
OF the inmates were kept there through re-.
stralnt. They converse1 freely with the nuns
who unhesltatingly answered their inquiries
that they had no wish to leave the institution
that they were contented and happy and no con.
sderaIlons could induce them to abandon the
quiet scenes OF their religious retirement"
/ Large crowds collected for several evenings
IN the vicinity Of the nunuery, but order was
preserved by the presence OF large body Of
the military. who was stationed in the neigh.
borhood, and we learn from the American o.

In the above estimate il will be seen that we
have given all the Georgia delegation to the
wings, although it is well known. that as many
as three or four of them are in favor of the In
dependent Treasury, and will probably vote for
it. We have also given them Mr.. Hunter of
Virginia who voted for the Independent Treas
ury bill, at the last session, and will uudoubt-
edly do so again. On the other hand of those
we have put down as democrats, there are but
two about which there is the least doubt.
These are Casey of Illinois and Campbell OF
South Carolina. Since Mr.. Campbelrs cleo
