TIE NV JERsEr FRAUD SErrLED.-The
Correspondent Of the Journal of Commerce
furnishes the following intelligence respecting
the ultimate decision of The Committee on E.
lections on the cases of the New Jersey mem
bers:
1t is said that the Committee on Elections
will report in the case of the New-Jersey con
tested election, early next [thisl week. The
majority will agree to report OF facts. The
scrutiny into the polls has been close and labo-
rious. The result will he that the sitting mem
bers, Msssrs. Vroom, Dickerson. &c. are elect
ed by majorities about equal to what they rrigi-
nally claimed.
The only question which can arise in the
House on the subject, will be whether the con-
testing members shall receive their compe nsa-
ton. Upon that, there may be some dispute.
but it will no doubt be granted.
1t is now very clear that the appropriation
bills will occupy The remainder of the time Of
this session, and hat all the miscellaneous bust
ness will be thrown in mass upon the next ses-
sion.

NFSTHE VICE PRESIDENT AT New YORK.
Cor. r. M. JOHNSON visited New York.
last week, and was most enthusiastically re-
ceivcd; as tho subjoined account will show
When he visited that city before, the wings
were in power. aud they meany refused to be-
stow upon him those attentions TO which his
station entitled him. The tables are now turn
ed-,he wings have been ousted from the Off
css they dsgraeed and the reception now Civ
en- to the Vice President has been the more
magnificent, TO make some amends for the NOR
tifcallon he must before have felt.
We extract the following from the account
given in The New York Planet:
A national salute from the North Carolina.
now at anchor in the North River, announced
Thursday afternoon abop hafpas three Oclock,
the approach 10 Castle Garden Of the Steam
boat Samson, containing the gentlemen Of the
Common Council and their distinguished guest,
Richard NJ. Johnson, who landed amid the roar
of cannon, the playing of music, and the I'M
broken shouts OF welcome, from at least fifty
thousand people. The flags Of the shipping
we're hoisied in honor of the patriot, the states
man, and the gentleman. Immediately after
landing, Col. Johnson was received by his Hon
or. Isaac l., Varian, Mayor Of the city. and
both were escorted to a barouchs drawn by four
noble. cream Colered horses, when squadron
of cavalry took the lead. and the overjoyed mu-
titndo commenced forming a procession, which
consisted OF the members OF both branches OF
the Common Council-citzens mounted--cit-
izens on foot-scven regiments Of infantry and
arlil'ery-tliree squadrons Of cavalry-fremsn
in uniform-the Bibernian Benevolent Society
Doth societies heing in full dress, and bearing
the banners Of their orderl--The Fourteenth h

&c. formed one of the largest, the grandest, and
one OF the most imposing professions that We
have ever witnessed in any part Of the world.
As this mighty phalanx moved up Broadway,
and through the other streets Of our city. the

With ladies', most beautiful in their appearance,
who paid their respects to Col. Johnson by
clapping their hands, and s.spcnding their Write
kerehiefs in the air. The walk below these
earthly angels, was also Ihrouged by meu. whose
enthusiasm knew no bonnds. as the cosstan,
expression Of it gave ample proof. The pro-
eession finally returned to the City Hall, where
Elijab j. Purdy. Esq President Of the Board
Of Aldermea, bade the Vice President welcome.
The miiiiary-the different Soccties-the
mounted citizens--the citizens on foot, then

REsIeSATioss.--The designations of 3 sdiord
Brown and Robert Strange, members Of the
United States Senate, from North Carolina,
addressed to the General Assembly Of that state,
are published in tho Raleigh Register Of July
Sth. At the last session Of the North Carolina
legislature. certain resolutions were passed dis
approving Of the measures OF the General Gov
ern'nent, and expressing the opinion that the
course pursued by their Senators in Congress
was not in conformity with the wishes Of the
people. No formal instructions were inserted
in the resolutions. nor were the Senators direct
iy called upon TO resign their trusts. They
have however surrendered their Offices. not in
obedience to the principle Of instruction which
both Of them acknowledged. but that their con-
stiuents may have the opportuoity Of passing
judgment upon their political principles and
conduct.

From JAMAIcA.-The Jamaica Morning
Journal Of June 5th, states that in February last
Information was received there that three or
four slavers. bound TO Cuba, were expected
some time in March, TO pass through par,ic-
lar strait. known only to the pilots Of Cuba and
Caymana. The Commodore, within few
hours, despatched two ships Of war to cruise,
under the guidance Of a Caymsuan pilot, in
the strait referred to. One ofthese vessels fell in
with three Of the expected slavers, and attempt
cd to board them. The slavers fired into and
shattered the man Of wars boats. IT is not
stated whether any lives were lost. but the
bold attack Of the sIavcrs proved successful to
them, for they all escaped with flying eolors,
at having overmatched British interference, aad
carried their cargo Of living merchandise into
the stroug hold Of West Indian slavery, Cuba.
The fourth Of the expected slavers appears to
to have been wrecked.

Infamous Forgery Exposed.

The following pretended extract from
speech delivered ip the Senate Of the U. s., by
Mr.. TArPAr Of Ohio. was coneoc,ed at tho Of
fee Of tho New Ysrk Times. and published IN
that most corrupt and mendacious print. accom-
panied by comments equally false and d'hon-
est. II has been eagerly seized upon and re-
published in staring capitals in every other print
or Kindred character; and appeared last week
in the HERALD OF THE TINES.
The language attributed to Mr.. Tappsn is as
follows:
The price Of labor Is entirely 10 high, THE
LABORER IN THIS COUNTRY CAN AZ
FORD TO WORK FOR eleuen pence a day,
AND THE HARD MONEY SYSTEM
WILL BRING DOWN WAGES TO THAT
SUN. WHEAT WILL ALSO CONE
DOWN TO SIXTEEN CENTS buShet. AND
EVERY THING ELSE IN PROPOTION.
THIS is THE BEST TARIFF YOU CAN
HAVE. AND THE ONLY ONE THAT
CAN ENABLE THE MANUFACTURER
TO COMPETE WITH ENGLAND. The
Sub Treasury W'H effect 6oh hes- objects. 1T
WILL PUT DOWN THE BANKS AND
bring wages and erery thing else down.'
Judge Tappan has denied the authenticity Of
the above in the most emphatic terms. He
has pronounced it to be A WICKED AND
UNQUALIFIED FORGERY, and offers a
thousand dollars in money to any person who
will produce an authenticated copy Of any
speech Of his, containing either the language or
the sentiments Of tho pretended extract.
The unqualified contradiction Of JUDGE TAP
An not only exposes the imposition to the rep
rotation Of all honest men, but the depravity Of
the party which resorts TO practices so utterly
subversivs Of all truth and practical morality.

HIeHLY IMPORTANT DIscovERY.
The Exploring Expedition has covered itself
with glory. Capt. Wilkes. in tho Vinnceunes,
has ascerainsd, beyond all question. the exis.
tence Of great Antarctic Continent; aud has
aeluslly skiued along its coast throughout
more than Sc degrees OF longitude. The partIc-
lars ofth important discovery, SO FAR as they
are known to us, are contained in the following
extract from Sidney New South Wsles) pa
per Of March 12,h, for which we are indebted
TO a commercial house, who received il from
their Sidney correspondent. The same paper
also contains from the Hobsr-town Courier
Information Of the same Continent having been
seen. on the same day though in diferen,
longitude, by the French Exploring expedition
but the latter was unable to approach the eoas'
save al a single point, and does no, appear to
have even seen more than few miles Of il.
whereas the Amerisan Expedition saw and ex-
amined it, as before stated, for a distance Of
more than Sc degrees Of longitude. Probably
the same continent WAS seen some years ago by
Captain flaming. (ses FanOngs Voyages, page
