He further observed, that he understood
the gentleman from Indiana (Mr Davis had
been sent here mainly 10 secure an appropri'
alton for the Cumberland Road, and he
would suggest TO that gentleman, that, by a
suitable retrenchment of the profits oil the
Globe and the Democratic Review, he might
save enough 10 carry the National Road
thu ongh Indiana.
| Mr. Stanly adverted to the Presidents Mes
sage having. on a former occasion, been sent
to the Senate before it wns sent 10 the House,
by which arrangement the Globe got the
exclusive printing OF that document and al
so 10 the fact, that when the printed copies OF
the Message were folded in the i6lJing-room,
a prospectus for the Extra Globe was put up
with each copy, unknown TO the Wing mem
bers OF the House, who were thus made the
instruments Of ranking TO all their consi,u.
ents proposals for the Globe a fact which
produced very great surprise, and elected no
little Indignation in many parts Of the coun.
try. $4,000 more had been given TO the
Globe for printing extra journals OF the
House. and after document had been print
ed for the Senate, and composition and press
work been paid Tor by that body, and the
same document was afterwards printed for
the House, the House was charged as though
the types had been set up anew.
Nj Slanly stated further. that at this very
session an offer had been made 10 the Clerk
ofthe House. by S. c. Stambaugh. TO exc
cute the printing Of Congress at thirty per
cent. less than was now paid. Mr. Stanly
appealed to 10 the Clerk TO say whether this
was not the fact, and what had been done
with the proposals. The Clerk through the
Chairreplied that such proposals had been re-
ceived & had been returned 10 Mr. Stambaugh
Mr. Stanly then sent TO the Clerks table an ar
ticle from the Democratic Review, obtaining
a description ofthe Clerks person.&a warm
euogy on his character & qualifications.
The Clerk commenced the reading OF the
document, and had proceeded some time,
when MIR Crary Of Michigan rose to order.
A long and somewhat angry debate upon
points of order followed, in the course of
which Mr. Stanly, returning TO the subject
Of the patronage Of the Clerk. referred to a
general impression that the Clerk himself
was contributor TO the pages Of the Re-
view, and very possibly had an interest in the
concern. He invited special attention to the
extent and particulars OF this patronage
The discussion was continued till near four
o'clock, when the House proceeded TO the
election, the result Of which is already
known.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.

A young man named Kirby. formerly OF
Baltimore, but more recently resident OF
Galena, I'll, returned TO the former city a
short time since. with the intention OF mar
rying young lady TO whom be was be,ro,h-
ed The parents OF the girl refused their
assent, aud Kirby in consequence commit.
ted suicide
The Post says The attachment Of the
young lady to her lover almost bordered on
idola,ry-and that since the fatal event she
had been almost distracted;
"She demanded to see the corpse. and re-
fused to believe that her lover was dead.
She would no, listen to the solace OF those
around her-and, at length under the hope
that her mind would be appeased, her de.
sire was reluctantly complied with. Yes
terday she was conveyed 10 the house, and
led 10 the apartment. where the deceased
object OF her maiden love lay in the cold
embrace OF an unnatural death. A scene
ensued which the pen cannot describe.
The poor girl chung 10 the cold remains,
and called by every endearing epthet her
loved one 10 return. She clamorrd for the
life that was gone. in tones and language
which day before would have borne him
10 the high Top gallant of his JOY" Alas !
it availcd not now the lips arched moi with
their wonled smile; aud the CLASSY eve had
retreated TO the chamber of his long repose.
He was dead. The cold conviction stole
upon her heart. and distracted brain wearied
itselfwi,h unavailing woe TWAS at length
found necessary 10 remove her by force, and
she was borne home in most distressing
state of lnsensibilty." ~

We are indebted to gentleman Of Hinsdale
for the following account, detailing the partic-
ulars which recently caused the death Of two
individuals, in that place.
''The unfortunate young men while in the
employment of Messrs. S. g. C. Spencer, came
TO their deaths in the following manner =
Silas Nichols, on the 23d of Jan. while cross
ing over the iron shaft which was connected
together by coupling box. to place some of
the belts that was connected with the machin-
cry, his frock caught in the coupling box and
wound him upon the shaft backwards, in such
a manner as to produce an injury on the spine
the whole length, so that he was unable TO
although he retained his mental faculties until
he died. He lived about four and half days,
and was formerly from Rutland, Mass. His
age was 20 years.
The other accident occurred on the 4th day
Of this month. A man by the name of Phin-
ehas Smith, was attempting TO place bel,
on the gearing that carried the grind stone,
and while doing so the belt caught his hand
and wound it upon similar iron shalt OF
the former, (Which was about 2 1-2 inches
square) in such a manner as to fracture the
bones from the end Of his fingers on the right
arm, to his shoulder: it likewise fractured his
right leg below his knee, and lacerated many
of his muscles in most shocking manner. Il
is supposed he was wounded internally, but te
what extent was never known and il was cal
culated he went round with the shaft from &C
10 an 100 times. He likewise retained hi:
mental faculties until he died, which was in
about three hours after the accident. Mr.. S
belonged TO Chesterfield, N. H. and was rs
years old the day he died.
They were both young men, (without fam
lies,) Of industrious habits, and sustained s
good moral character.

II is always necessary before we apply a
remedy for any thing that is disordered to find
the head the main part Of action,--the source
from which such fruits issue and so is it with
the distressed condition of our country at the
present time. The pressure is not confined to a
particular class as ii was ia 1897 but it is now
Eel, by all, Except the privileged class, name
ly,the Office holders )from the man who obtains a
hard earned livelihood, by his hands, from day
&c day,--up to him who commands his thou
sands from The man who obtains by coppers
his maintenance, up to him who is independ-
antly of. Let us ask the different classes Of
people in our community how such times as
these operate upon them7
We Farmers, to whom we are all indebted in
mere or less degree, how is it with you.--
Does your pork, beef, and other articles OF
merchandise, bring an exorbitant price,--are
you satisfied with all these things
We Mechanics, how is it with you-does the
depressed state of affairs injure you in your
busness--are you in as hourishng condition
as you have been or as you could wish to be 2
They each and all answer for themselves
And from whence do all these things proceed,
bu, from the most corrupt administration that
ever existed They with one heart and voice
respond, ye say it.
And now the remedy comes,-the Harrison
Flag is given to the breeze, sit meets all points
favorab!y-from the North South, East and
West; all then that is wanting is that things
of a secondary nature be laid aside, and that
we combine ourselves in one solid and unshak
en- column, unmoveable as rock, and 60 forth
10 victory. Yes, il is even sol As certain it
is that Gen. Harrison will be elected to the
Presidential chair 10 March 184l, as it is that
the sun will continue TO rise and set. And
then the sins and inquities Of the present ad-
ADMINISTRATION will continue TO be shown; but
until another generation shall have taken our
places will the effects Of this rotten admins
tration be felt.
This is hoping that after March 1s4l, Mar
Tin Van Buren, and all the Office holders Tin
Vulnerable as they are, may sink into obscurity;
and borne dowa by the weight of their sins
may deliver themselves over toHim who claims
reprobates al the last.

he retreated TO the farther side OF the island
and leaped into the rapids Alter swim
