under the impression that, the Legislature Of New
York has failed to elect Senator in Congress in
place Of Mr.. Tallmadge, the Governor can FIJI the va.

nor has no power to make any such appointment un-
less the Senator resigns or dies; and no, where his
time has expired. A similar case occurred in Con-
necticut in lS25-and Gov. Wolcott appointed Judge
Lanman, who went to Washington to take his
seat; but the Senate decided that he could not take it,
the law and constitution did not provide for such
kind Of vacancies being so filled-consaquently the
seat vacant until the intervention Of subsequent
legislature.
Michigan Senator.-The Legislature the 5th and
9Th inst. attempted to elect Senator in Congress in
place Of Mr. Lyon, whose time expires next March.
The House baoted three times each day. with nearly
the same result each time. On the third ballot the
vote was. for A. Porter twhg> 90. E. Ransom (oco,
10 J. Bidde tcons.) 8, R. Manning (oco) 2, W.Wing
q, L. Lyon 2, La,hrop l. In the Senate, the votes
were still more scattered, and the hopes were faint
that they would effect choice. Az the locos have
clear majority in each house, If choice should be

P.S. We learn that the House has since agreed
upon the name Of John Bddle, hut the Senate still
held out in support Of different candidates.
