newspapers either take side the other, and
fanatical in both. New York is becoming the grand

Dim uIsy in the House Of Representative.
Having disposed OF the news received by the Ii
verpool, and finished the farce enacted at Harris
burg we shall now devote exclusive attention
othe House of Loafcrs'' who occupy the hall of
the late House Of Representatives, at Washington.
Hitherto have said very little this subject be-
we were otherwise engaged But before the
assembling Of these ioaiers, we expressed very
clear and decided opiRion the merits Of the case,
and warned the wing party Of running themselves
against snag.
The merits of the New Jersey election are in a
nutshell. The FIVE locofoce members have the
jority OF votes-but the five WING members have the
legal certificates. OF the locofoco set have
the ultimate title to the seats, but the wings have
prima facis evidence Both sets claim their seats
In such case, the rule Of common is the best
rule. la the organization Of the House, and the
election. of speaker, both sets Of representatives
ought 10 stand aside, and those only who have
questioned titles be received. This il the mos.
equitable, moderate, and wises In the cary
stage Of the difficulty, Mr.. Wise made PROPOSE
tion OF this kind, at which very much
tonished-astonishedt that man orally reputed
headstrong exciiabe, rash, and impracticaole
should almost, SOLITARY and alone give such an
example OF the sublime m political conduct We
have never spared Mr. Wise former occasions
when we believed he acted wrong-neither shall we
hesitate to give him due credi, for this remarkable
instance Of moderation and good sense.
Mr. Adams seems also To be Of the same policy
and we hope, for the honor Of the nation, that the
mpderate and high minded Of both parties will unite
and organize the House Of Representatives accord
ing TO that great principle which at the very foun-
daton of the government that fhe majority is the
principle Of sovereignty.
SMALL LAwYERs-AND SMALL OFFICIALS The
recent arrest Of General Henderson, minister from
Texas TO France, in this city, Of the most
outrageous that could have been perpctrated in
civilized community; but il was. If possible, ex-
ceedsd yesterday by still outrageous attempt
TO arrest the ambass ador from France to Texas now
in hiscity, his way to the latter country. This
was brought about by petty combination between a
pess n Maiden Lane, some small brieHess lawyer,
AMI Of the miserable officials lurking about the
sr.s Office The attempt of course, failed but il 10
hsh imethat all the attaches about the shsrs Office
shosid know the law this subject; that all
dted ministers from recognised nations, travelling
through this country to their entitled
to safe conduct And the fact Of the above gentle
man having his Official letters from the King Of the
French, were on the mere face Of them, sufficient
guarantee for his free passport any where in the
United States. IL is time, also, that Congress and
the President moved IN this matter, TO obtain tho
passage OF law, by which these important points
should be defined beyond the possibility Of doubt
