LUNATIcs AND IDIoTs IN n. JERSEY.
In the spriug Of last year committee OF
five was appointed to ascertain the num-
Der and condition of the lunatlcs and ldt-
OTIS in the State of New Jersey. This
COMMITTEES have made their report, from
which we learn that the whole number OF
Iuuatics in the state, 50 far as they have
been able to ascertain them, IS 33o; the
number of idiots il, $50, 'Theo commis-
sioners are Of the opinion, however, that
there are many cases Of insanity IN the
:. state which have not come 10 their knoWi-
edre. The report strongly recommends
; the erection of state asylum or hospital,
as the best and most efiectual means for
} the relief of the unfortunate subjects OF the
innnirv ofthe committee. The following

The federal Sab Treasury politician sat

to President Fan Buren,, begging for
appointment to some small office.
He writes
"To his Excellency Martin Van Blu

One of the most ridiculous specimens
of the quintessence Of perfect nonsense,
that we recollect to have read for long
time, appears in the last Gazette over the
signature of a democrat. The object of
the writer is, we believe to show that the
temporal as we'll as the future state of our
citizens, even after they have "shuffled
off this mortal coil" depends for its hap
pinesss entirely upon the fact whether the
neople will or will not hold a territorial
convention to nominate somebody that a
certain clique may name, as candidate
for Congress. We here give an extract
from the communication of the last Ga
zette, and we ask every reader if either
r1tun,e, reason, sense or even respectable
nonsense can be made out of it. Here il
is:-
'sIf we listen to the song of the Syren,
we shall awake but TO find ourselves en-
tangled perhaps irretrIevahly in the snares
and tolls of that foe that never slumbers
that enemy that hues only when man is
PROSTATE in the dust, but dies when he
burst assunder the bands of oppression
and walks forth in his might. Who that
watches the signs Of the times, does no!
observe that federalism is putting forth
every ,exerlion and using every art TO
make iowa railing point for her discom-
fitted and scattered forces?'
Phew! Aside from the bad grammar
and barbarisms of the above extract, we
believe it is too scientific for ordinary
comprehension, and therefore leave it TO
ADLER heads than ours to 'splain and
| 'spound. The writer of that communica-
ton is said to be the same man who used
to feed upon the clyobonealis the princi-
pie hay for whales. If he amt whale,
he will soon be one.

subject, which had been rejected under
circumstances herein before detailed
Their weight and effects is greatly en-
HANGED by the fact that the contesting par
ty was present and cross-examined the
witnesses.
The undersigned made strenuous eff
forts to induce the majority of the COM
mittee to strike out the word "!aWful''
wherever it appears in their report as
qualifying the word aUotes,'' so that the
language Of the report might correspond
with the principle on which it is based,
and thus all Misrepresentation, either by
the House or the country, be excluded;
and also, to induce the majority to insert
clause in their report to indicate oppo-
sltion to it in the committee, and to grant
us time for the exposition of our views
through the medium of counter-report,
but their efforts proved wholly unavail-
ing.
We have said enough, we trust, to es-
tablish the propriety of having the report
of the committee recommitted, that the in.
structions given may be literally and faith.
fully obeyed.
With this statement of facts, to sustain
which we respectfully ask for the print.
ing of all the documents. we leave the
case to the House; and, if i. be contem-
plated to make a report, submitted under
such circumstances, the basis OF any ac-
ton that will compromise the rights OF
either of the parties in this controversy,
we beg leave, as members of the commit.
mittee, as Representatives Of the people,
and, in behalf Of the sovereign States OF
this Union, to protest against what we
conceive most indefensible and unlaw.
full proceeding.

EM1GRATIoN.-I'he emigration to this
Territory at the present time is but small;
doubtless the pressure in the states which
prevents men from disposing of their
property, except at a sacrifice, is the
principal cause. Iowa still has room
on her fertile plains for thousands. The
high taxation in some of the states, grow
ing out of injudicious systems of internal
improvement, would urge many to come
to this country, if they had the means to
do so. and such means they cannot OBJ.
tain, while the present embarrassed state
of our financial affairs continues.
