On the 18th, the members from New Jer.
sey claiming seats by virtue of an election
by the people, and certificate from the
Governor of the state, were excluded from
their seats, and New Jersey was disfran.
chised and deprived of voice in the ccun-
cils of the nation. The vote was taken on
proposition of Mr.. Wise, and stood III
E to III, and the resolution being affirmative
Of the right Of the Wing members was moi
passed. Two Wing members were absent
-one detained from the House by sickness,
and the other kept at home by the sickness
ofhis family.
The success of the administration party
in the expulsion of the Jersey members
proves that they have had the power in their
hands to do 1t whenever they pleased.
Their organ has continually claimed ma
lority, and the result has shown that they
possessed it virtually at least. Why, then,
has it not been done before? What latent
and secre. reason has induced the author of
Locofocoism to command his minions to
procrastinate this matter, for two weeks, to
the loss of the nation of many thousands of
dollars, and to the infinite disadvantage of
the public interest! It. would seem as if, du-
ring this time, the administration had been
preparing some great move, that required
delay and deliberation--some mine to be
sprung in another quarter, under cover of
false and outrageous attack upon the fran
chises of sovereign state. Time and
Wing administration will deveope all these
things, and many more that even now stink
under the cover that Locofocoism has
thrown over them.

and made into paper, which is run on reel
and taken to the printing machine, which
prints six spelling books in one minute, and
three hundred books in an hour. The types
are set on an iron cylinder, and one revolu-

on both sides at one operation, and the ink
Is supplied by roller moved by machinery.

FORCE OF CUsToM.-ln an old English
work we read the following anecdote illus.
tratlve of the effects ofcustom:
"'The lady of very large corpulenr rem
tleman being lately indisposed, thought oro-
per to have bed by herself, that she might
repose the better by lying alone. But She
was quite mistaken in her notion; for in
stead OF sleeping the better without her bus-
band, she could not sleep at all: and the
reason of it which may seem very odd one,
was this--that she found she wanted her
husband, who was very loud snorer to
snore her asleep--her moi hearing this noise
being as great hindrance to her rest as
the hearing it would have been to one not
used to it." n.y.

THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-We re
ceived this important document, too late 70
insertion in this paper, and have only room
to notice few of the topics touched upon
which appear TO us, of the most impor
tance.
The country around Kindcrhook, ha.
been, by the blessing of St. Nicholas, gene
rally healthy, only few old Dutchmcr
having slipped their wind and gone off in
an apoplexy, from eating too many hare
boiled eggs last Paas.
The crop Of cabbage has been unconl.
mon, and was gathered in good order, few
heads only having been touched by the ear
ly frosts; and the sour crout, up to the last
advices, was keeping in good order, and
gladding the hearts Of the goode vrows,
and the capricious bellies OF their fat
spouses. The suggestion of the President,
to lay duty on imported sour crouts, is
worthy Of his wisdom, and will, unquestion-
ably gain him immense popularity in, and
add greatly to the wealth of the region
round about Kinderhook and Claverack.
It is with sorrow, that the President
states, that the run of shad in the North
river, last spring was not such as could
havebeen expected from that ancient and
venerable stream. This he attributes to
the malice Of the Yankees, whom he char
ges with having, obstinateIy built towns
upon the very brink Of the river; and tofhe
steamboats--the former by their prying dis
position, deprising those fish of tho power
Of indulging their habits Of privacy, and the
latter driving them to distraction, by their
splashipg nsise and laundering clamor.

STATE PRIHTER.-Although Mr.. Samue
Medary, of the Statesman, was elect.
State Printer, last Saturday, by the unani.
nous vote OF the locofocos, there was some
competition. According to the Gazette
proposals were receieved from Bryan, of the
bulletin, for 80 per cent less than the price
now paid; Phillips, of the Confederate, at
the same; Scott and Allen of the Journal,
at Is per cent less on the Laws and Jour
mails, and so per cent less on the Bills. Eff.
orts were made to postpone the election and
inquire into the matter, without avail. The
tinpan had met, selected their candidate
and determined the election, and at q
O'Clock, the two houses met in Convention
and elected Samuel Medary fortbree years
from July next, (which is sue J5sed to close
the contract at the highuzs sfrate for three
years."
We consider it only as time thrown
away on the part of the Journal, in
making propositions, when il was known
who was in favor with the tinpan caucus
Does the Journal man think that the coffee
house committee would prove themselves so
far lackIng in magnanimity, as to offer the
Office of state printer to "ihe faithful, al re.
duced prices. Reduced prices indeed what
an insult. Mr.. Medary expected no such
thing nor was it done.

DREADFUL SHIpwRECK AND Loss OF
LIFE. The Brig Neptune, belonging to
this port, and owned by Capt. John H.
Sims, of this city, and Thomas NJ. Kelley,
Esq. Of Cleveland, with full freight ofmer-
chandze for Chicago, was driven ashore on
the east side of Lake Michigan, about 13O
miles north of st. Josephs, in tremendous
gale and snow storm, on the morning of the
26th ult., and all on board Consisting of
nine of the crew and eleven passengers)
drowned or perished with the cold, except
Captain Sims. The names of the unhappy
sufferers we have not been able 10 learn;
except that George Mason, brother of the
Captain; Mr.. Webster, of Buffalo, chief
mate; and Mr.. Fordyce Ward; of this city,
second mate. We understand that there
were among the passengers, two ladies', and
two or three children. Capt. Sims, in a
letter to his wife, states that the vessel sunk
in about six feet of water, few rods from
the shore-that he is some frozen, and at
present under medical aid, but will probably
be able to start for home in week or two
that he could procure no fire, nor any thing
to eat-and had to walk through the woods
the distance of tWenty miles, after leaving
the wreck, and witnessing the death of all
the crew and passengers, before he reached
ahouse. The cargo of the brig is said to
have been valuable one, but whether it
was insured or not, we have not learned, ex-
cept quantity of salt belonging to the Cap
tain, which we are informed was insured.-

SADNEss.--1'here is mysterious feeling
that frequently passes like cloud over the
spirit. Itcomes upon the soul i'll the busy
hustle Of life, in the'social circle in the calm
and silent retreats of solitude. Its powers
are alike supreme over the weak and iron
hearted. At one time it is caused by the
fitting of single thought across the mind.
Again, sound will come booming across
the ocean of memory, gloomy aEd'soemn as
the death knell, overshadowing all the bright
hopes and sunny feelings of the heart. Who
can describe IT, and yet who has not felt its
bewildering influence? Still it is a delicious
sort of sorrow: nd like a cloud dimming
the sun shine OF the river, although causing
momentary shade of gloom, it enhances the
beauty of returning brightness.

To show how little concord Mt one period
prevailed in Congress, at the time of the re.
volution, the following anecdote has been
related. On the 9Th of May 1776, while
Congress was in session at PHILADELPHIA,
the sound of heavy artillery was heard down
the Delaware. 1t was soon known to pro
ceed from the gun boats that had been sent
to protect the river from the British crui-
sers. Hitherto no actual sound of war had
reached this portion of the provinces, whose
inhabitants were rather more pacific in their
tone than was suited to the ardor and exas-
perutlon of New England. As the sound of
the first gun burst upon the car of Congress.
old Samuel Adams sprang upon his feet, and
cried out with exultation, to the infinite dis
may of some timid members, who sat near
him.--Thank God the games begur-none
can stop it now.' / wisl, that man was IN
heaven was the ejaculation of one of his
neighbors. 'No, not in heaven said ano
ther with countenance of unmitigated dis
gust, not in heaven, for hope to get there
some day yself.'-.Newburypor Her.
