Moral L1sdnify.-Some thirty years ago a young
lady, the only daughter of noble house in the
north of Germany, from having been one Of the
most cheerful girls, she became subject TO fits of
deepest melancholy. All the entreaties of her pa
rents were insufficient to draw from her the rea.
son of it. To their affection she was cold. to
their caresses rude; and though society failed 10
enliven her, she bore her part ia 1t with venom
aOd sarcasm that were as strange to her former
character as they we're unbecomIng her sex aud
youth. The parents contryed, during her tempo
rary absence from home to investigate the contents
Of her writing desk. but no Indications OF a con-
cealed disappointed passion we're to be found,
and it was equally clear that papers had been
removed.
The first news they heard of her wac that the
house 10 which she visiting had been burnt 10
the ground; that she had been saved with difficult
ty, though her room not in that part Of the
house wacre the fire had been conn enced; that
her escape had ct first been taken for granted, and
that when her door was burst open she was found
still dressed and seated in her usually melancholy
attitude, With her eyes fixed on the floor. She re-
turned home neither altered 10 manner nor chang
ed in demeanor and as painfully bnIisnt ~ con-
yersaiion when forced into it. Within two months
Of her return the house was burnt to the ground.

pensiOn Agency,

We learn ftom the Burlington papers that the old
agencies for paying pensions in this state have been dis
continued, and that Augustine Clark of NJ onpelle is
appointed General Agent, or subeasurer, to receive
and disburse the pension money. Augustine Clarke
readers will recoect honored with the office OF
treasurer of this State years since and was sub
sequenty discarded in consequence OF degrading himself
by the most disgusting immoraliies But no natter
he follows in the foosrps, and will doubtless make a
good sub treasurer

into the ballot boxes and reject votes, on
the ground that the votes of aliens or 9TH
or disqualified persons had entered The
boxes.
Mr.. Randolph was about to rise, and
Mr.. Wise here arose and objected to this
course of cateclism as being out Of order;
and while he was going on to show thatit
was not in order,
Mr.. Vanderpocl said he would waive the
question and answer il himself.
Mr.. V. said that he had heard much a.
bout "overieaping the law" buthe was in
duced to ask the question in order to show
that these gentlemen who were such stick
lers for the laws Of New Jersey, were
themselves sancloning most palpable
violation Of law; but as gentlemen objcc-
ted to the question, it was needless to press
it, and more especially, as he, in common
with every other gentleman on this floor
who coull read the English language could
answer it. He had merely questioned the
gentleman, in order to have The irresistible
conclusions of that gentlemans mind su-
peradded to the clear Interpretation of a
statute of his own state Let gentlemen
read the law of New Jersey, and they will
look in vain there for any authority on the
part of the mere returning officers, the
clerks of counties, or the Governor and
privy council, to enter the ballot boxes,
and reject votes, on the ground that voters
we're disqualified. They were mere re-
turning officers, and could not arrest votes
on their way to this House, the only ap-
pellate court, after the primary court, the
board cf canvassers, the keepers Of the
ballot boxes, had decided upon their quail
tications. No one had pretended, no gen.
tlcman could pretend, that the county
clerks and Governor and privy council
could act in judicial capacity and purge
the polls. These, then, were most impor-
tant admissions made by the only undis-
putcd member from New Jersey, and the
ardent friend and supporter of the claims
of the Governors members. We could
now have no further dispute, either about
the facts Of the case, or. the laws of New
Jersey. They were no, only incontesti-
bly, proved by the papers on The Clerks
table, but were unequivocally admitted by
the sole Representative of the State in
question.

THE "WuIG" CANDIDATE.
T. Ritchie. Esq.

Well, the "Whig" assenblage Of the
"colIcc,ive wisdom" of that enlightened
body, have met at Harrisburgh, and Sc
lcctcd the renowned hero Of North Bend,
as their candidate for the high office Of
President of the United States. All hail
to the sagacity of the "Whig" counsels-
all hail to the oracular decree of "all the
decency, all the talent" of the nation,
which proclaims that General WIN. HENRY
HARRISON is to be the President of this
Republic We, in our poor conceit, did
indeed think, that HENRY CLAY, of Ken
lucky, had claims to the support Of the
Whigs," to say nothing Of his acknow-
lodged abilities, that would place him in
initcly above Gen. HARRISON, in their es
timalion. But what is our weak opinion
compared 10 the sublime conceptions of
some half dozen ex-governors at the head,
and some hundreds Of ex-membcrs Of Con-
gress, assembled in solemn council at
Harrisburgh at the tail, and both embody-
ing the life and soul of the great sol disant
Wing party! Certainly, it is none of our
busincss-but we rather think that the
Abolitionist had voice in laying Mr.. CLAY
once more on the shelf His eleventh
hour speech coul'I not be forgiven-and
the illustrious Norlh-Bendcr is sure of
their votes. We, of the South, however
will probably counterbaIance, if not over
turn this sage calculation. And where
can Gen. HARRISON get a vote South of
the Potomac! What press will so far for
rct what is due to our Institutions, as to
raise his black flag at its masthead? We
shall sec!
We have before prognosticated the ut
ter annihilation of the Whig" party; and
this move most certainly fortifies our be-
fore expressed opinion. Mr.. VAN buren,
will walk over the presidential course in
ls4l, at calm pace, and will have no.
thing worthy Of the name of a competitor.
Let Us then give ourselves little more trou-
bic in the matter; as the "game in view
is scarcely worth the powder"

MN. SA ALl1pON hNb liz ANlI :
We take The liberty Of laying the follow
ing Icltor at once before the public. II
explains the circumstances under which it
was written; and it unequivocally refutes
the rumor in circulation, and defines the
position which Mr.. Calhoun maintains in
relation to the Tariff. May We not 60
farther, and infer, that no politician who
entertains this unqualified opinion of the
Tariff, will support Mr.. Clay's Land Bill,
or any other scheme with which it may
he associated! Who W II divert the pro-
reeds of the Public Lands from the Pub
lie Treasury, unless he is prepared to in
crease the duties on foreign importa!ions,
n order to fill up the vacuum! With such
,pinions, who will support the scheme OF
wrestling the proceeds Of the public lands
for the purposes of National Education,
of National system of Internal Improve
ments, or carrying out the modern pro-
ject of new Assumption of the State
debts? Not Mr.. Calhoun, certainly. He
must disapprove the end, as we'll as the
:,eans. He must not only disapprovc any
augmentation of the Tariff, but with the
strict constitutional doctrines which he
avowed in his speech at the last session,
he must deny the power sought to be
usurped over The great subjects of Inter-
nal improvements, of National Education,
and Of the local debts Of the several States:
Let these subjects be pressed. whenever
they may, we have no fear but they will
call out able champions sufficient TO SUBJ
due them:
FoRT HILL, Nov. %.
Dear Sir: have received the Enquirer
containing the article from the Providence
Journal, which among other things asserts
that have come out in favor of high
Tariff. I conclude that am indebted to
you for it, as, in the conclusion of your
comments, you say that you will enclose
the number containing it to me, and ask
of me some notice Of the subject.
You were light in presuming the rumor
unfounded. Il has not the shadow Of
foundation; and yet,rif | may judge from
the papers. that and similar rumors have,
for sometime, been widely circulating in
the Northern portion of the Union; but for
what purpose, or by whom put in circula-
lion, am at loss to conjecture. So far
from favoring, 1 believe Of all calamilies
that could bcfall the country, renewal of
the protective system, with its certain CON-
sequences, would be among the greatest;
and it really is surprising, that with the
light of past'eSpericnce, any one of sound
Judgment and attached TO the country,
shall think of making the attempt. l full
Iy agree with you that the South, and, !
trust, the great body Of the soun1 and
patriotic parties every where. cannot be
guIled by the fallacious arguments put
forth in its favor. The growing intcli-
gence Of the age is opposed to all such
schemes. and all attempts at the renewal
Of the protective system must fail; OF if

CONGRESS-.

CONGRESS.
We have dates to the 18th instant from
Washington, at which time, there seemed
to he as little prospect of an organization
of the House Of Representatives as at any
other period, since The members arriv ed
at the Seat Of Government. Several times
the difficulties were, apparently, on the
point of being settled, when new questions
would be started, and whole days cxhaus-
ted in debates which thus far have produ-
ced no beneficial results. On The llth in
tant, after Resolution, offered by Mr..
WISE, directing the Clerk to call the Wing
members from New Jersey, had been re-
jec,ed. Mr.. RuErr proposed the following
resolution:
"Rcsolrcd, That the House will pro.
ceed to call the names of gentlemen whose
rights TO seats are not disputed or conles-
ted; and after the names Of such members
are called, and before Speaker is elected,
they shall, provided there be quorum Of
such present, then hear and adiudge upon
the election returns, or qualifications of all
claimants, (Mr. Ingersoll and MIR. Naylor
evccptcd) to the seats contested on this
floor.
The resolution was agreed to. Yeas 1873,
Nays 50.
4 number Of motions for reconsidsring
this resolution, and others for carrying it
i:,to effect, were made and discussed during
the day on the llth, and the two succeed.
ing days. the result Of which, accordingto
our notions, only tended to render confu-
sion worse confounded.
The Senate, although organized, is, Of
course, doing nothing, nor can they do any
thing, until The House is prepared for bu-
sincss. A communication has been OPEN
ell between the Senate and President.
which it was thought nigh. bring out the
Annual Message, but it is now understood
willInot 10 be forthcoming until the House
is organized. A few Executive Message
have been sent by the President to the Sem
ate, and acted on: this, with, occasionally,
notices Of bills and resolutions intended to
be offered, is all that occupies this branch
Of our National Legislature.
Since the above was written, we lave
dates from Washington to the evening Of
the I4th, at which time there had been
three balot,ings for Speaker. witout a
choice. Gen. JONES was run by the ad.
ministra,ion party, but it was thought he
would he dropped, and Mr.. PlcKENs taken
up. We may certainly look for the Pre-
sident's Message in q day or two.
