islature whom he addresses He says
Il is no part Of our complaint, that the
House OF Representatives should, when
Organized, investigate, investigate thorough
~. the qualifications and preteniions of
its members. That il possesses the pow
el in its fullest extent, and has alone
that power, has never been doubted or
denied, But il is the attempt OF an morgan
lied body OF men to exercise this high pre-
rogative without the forms of law, Of which
we complain. and which act can be charaet-
erized only as a monstrous usurpation. Ii
was by summary proceeding OF this sort
that New Jersey has been deprived of five
sixths OF her representation in Congress.
The title ofthe five REPRESENTATIVES who have
been thus excluded. without hearing. with

concurrence they have been excluded Whit

an insult offered directly TO the State whose
commissions these gentlemen bear. and vi.

HAnRsoN MEETING AT TowNsHENp. We
publish this week the report Of the Convention

all parts of the County early assembled--il
was truly gathering Of the PEOPLE, Tor the
generous purpose of an enthusiastic response,
and to ,ioin in the full chorus OF harmony and
union, from all parts Of the Country, to the
nomination of the ilustrious Harison--it was
an assembly of which any Green Mountain
Boy might we'll be proud-composed as Il was
of the bone and MUSCLE Of the state. Inc
greatest unanimity and enthusiasm prevailed
the speeches we've well received, and many oil
them truly eloquent. Mr.. Henry presented
sensible business-like statement OF the dolngs
at Harrisburg which is published in the re-
port.
He was followed BY Mr.. Blake Of this vii
lare, who in an eloquent manner pictured the
distressing state of the monied affairs OF the
countrv--lhe causes Of it--and the prospects
Of success of the Wing cause.
DIR. Ranney on presenting the Resolutions,
made some very sensible remarks upon that
prince of Humbugs, Smile and Bank Re
form We do wish every Farmer in the
County could have heard him-he so clearly
exposed this trick of the Loco party-a party
composed of Stockholders in Banks, Bank
Directors Note Sharers, &c. &c. We hope
the DR.. will furnish copy for publications.,
pleased US SO much, we know il will our rea-
ders
We,were disappointed in not hearing the
Political Song, but have the promise of il al

@Hero of the Thames, my Boys is again to be
soastcd.
In the evening"
Mr.. Crawford described the military life of
sGen. Harrison, the Battle of the Thames, &c.
lntrue soldier-like style.
He was followed by DR.. Ranney, Judge
White, Col. Townsley, and Judge Phelps
whose addresses were well received
We cannot close without noticing the polite
ness and attention of the citizens Of Towns
bend, particularly Mr.. Taggart, mime host of
the White House'-he was all attention,-in
every part of his house, attending to the COM
fofls Of his guests, providing large comforta-
sble 6res--his cheer excellent. His house is a
fine spacious building, handsomely furnished
:and with pleasure we recommend il to all
travellers Townshend should well be proud
of such house and landlord.

cy OF The Administration, he eudeavore1 to recon
Gle the laborers TO the reduction. by saying, "If.
therefore, you should, in some degree, reduce the
nominal Irces paid for labor, lv reducing the IA
mount Of your bank issues within reasonable and
sale limits, and establishing a metallic basis FOR your

certainly not; because the price Of all the Ne

Again-Mr. Richard Niles Of Connecticut, a
