GENERAL JACKSON.

recently paid by him to General Jackson,

FROM MLOCKPORT-McLEOD.
LocKPoRT. March z

The March term Of the Court of Oyer
and Terminer for this county should have
been held this week, commencing this
morning. On The opening of the Court,
Judge Dayton directed the Clerk not to
call the Jury, deciding at the same time
not to hold the Court in consequence Of
an informally, or rather material error
OF the clerk, in giving but five Instead of
six days notice of the drawing Of the Jury
for the term.
Mcleod was arraigned, and pleaded not
guilty to The Indictment against him. His
counsel, Mcssrs. Gardner and Bradley.
then moved the court for two commissions
To issue for the examination Of Mr..
Webster, Secretary of State, and Mr.. Fox,
the British Minister At Washington-the
Others 10 examine M'Nab and other, >n
upper Canada. This was granted. with
the condition that the people might join
in The crrtnmission.
An application was then made to the
Circuit Judge TO allow a certiorari 10 re-
move the cause from the Oyer and Ter
miner to the Supreme Court on an aflida-
Wit setting forth sorn" o. the circumstances
of the rffrrcr charged tn have been com
milted, and that difficult and cnmriraled
questions of law would arise on the trial.
The counsel urged that at the Oyer and
Terlniner the presiding judge might be
overrued by the county Judges, and thai
it was proper in this case, for that reason,
that this cause should be tried in the Cir
cult Court rather than in the Oyer aud
Termincr.
The circuit judge declined allowing the
certiorari upon that ground, as there was
no allegation of impr"per bias, on the par
Of the county judges, and our statute ha:
provided The means Of c"rrecIing any er.
ror in the proceeding Of the Oyer ant

LOG CABIN FURNITURE.

The Whigs in Congress have procured
six thousand dollars tn be Appropriated &c
buy furniture for the bed rooms OF lhe
the Presidents House after the AIN o

takes possession. What commentary Is
this on their Ogle speeches, and O'hei

before the election! Six thousand dol

modate log cabin President. who It was
said in the Palladium was TO rise at ana

that log cabins had any chambers to them
One would have supposed, that instead
of buying new furniture, these friends oi
"IIarrison and Reform" would have order
ell " them gould spoons" and other luSu-
rious things that they used to talk about
to bp sold, and The money put into the
tre.surv. But no-,he hgoId spoons" the

"saft sofas" are al. to he kept in the par
Iors of Gen. Harrison's ids tshln, tor
his daily use, and six thousand dollars,
besides. are appropriated for the better
fxi,,g out of the rooms above. The bed
room furniture as it now is. was good
enough for Gen. Jackson's family, and
Mr.. Van Buren's family-but il wont do
for the reformers!! They must have six
tlnusand dollars worth more added TO It.
It cannot be said thai Gen. Harris"n's
family is larger than Gen. Jacks"n's or
Mr.. Van Buren's-lhe latter having been
unmarried men. He has no children lIv-
ing with him at home. The whig papers
have told us that his wife and himself
make all his famil ly-and they have also
told us, that Mrs. Harrison will not be i'll
Washington thu first year; and even if she
was to be there, it certainly could not take
six thousand dollars TO buy the additional
furniture that she would require. Gen.
Harrison they all say, will have The laml'
ly of his son-in-law and therefore will re-
qure more furniture. But Gen. Jackson
had his private secretary and family with
him; and Mr.. Van Buren had his private
secretary and family with him also. In
this respect the three were similarly silua-
ted, with families as near alike as 1" NUN.
pers, as could be expected. Why then
rannol Gen. Harrison be accommodated
with the same kind of furniture that ac.
his predecessors! The truth
is, after all the hypocracy the frderals's
have shuwn on this subject. the old aristo-
,ralic leasen will show itself the moment
hey begin to act. They now say, The

WASHINGTON, March %.


What think you of the Gag Bill Circu.
lar issued by our Yazoo friend Daniel
Webster, that pure specimen of Jcffer-
sonian Democracy, who wouldn't vote a
cent for war "if the enemy's cannon was
at the gates of the Capitoll" it strikes
me as coming very near the doctrines
which was promulgated by an ancient
Wing, called John Adams, in the alien and
seditIon laws, those patriotic relics OF
black cockades and blue lights. AS the
Florida bloodhounds have had their muz-
zlcs taken off by this time, would il not
be carving out Spooney Ogle's doctrines
of economy to have them q mean the
muzzles) applied to the use of all the new
office holders that Gen. Harrison is so
busily engaged in manufacturing? To be
sure, it would deprive the Buckeye
Blacksmith of job, but as he is only one
of the canaille of the Wing party, and
his services arc of no further use to "all
the decency." as poet laureate, it is to be
hoped that some of the small fry men,
bers of Congress will weigh my PROPOSE
ton, in time to deliver three days speech
on it at the extra session.
The city continues filled with the ex-
pectants of office, and the rivals regard
one another with anything but that spirit
of brotherly love "for the sake of the u
nion," Of which we heard so much short
time ago. Every fellow who has the cash
or credit to live horr ,Intl the extra ses-
sion, will undoubtedly do SO, unless his de-
mands are granted previously; and as the
heads of Departments have as vet work

of these lazzaroni seems to be on the flu

Great Britain The number Of individuals
in a state to: bear arms, from the age OF

marriages is about 9s,o3O yearly; and 1t
has been reckoned, that n,a63 OF these
unions, there were only three which had
no'issue. The number of deaths IS about
322, ZOO yearly, which makes nearly 25,-
592 monthly, 6,29s weekly, Ola daily,
and 10 hourly. The deaths among the
women, are i'll proportion tosihe men, as
SO to 81. The married womenlive long,
er than those who continue incelebacy.-
In the country, the mean fern of the
number of children produced by each
marriage is four: in towns, the proportion
is seven for every two marriages. The
number of married women is, to the gen.
eral number of individuals of the sex, as
one to three; and the number of married
men to that of all the individuals of the
male sex, as three to five. The number
of widows is, to that of widowers, three
to one; but the number of widows who
marry again is, to that of widowers in the
same case, as seven 10 four. The Indi-
viduals who inhabit elevated situations
live longer than those who reside in less
elevated places. The half of the indi-
viduals die before attaining the age Of II
years. The number of twins is, TO that
of ordinary birth, as to 65. According
to calculations founded upon the bills of
mortality, one individual only in 1925 at
tains the age Of 100 years. The number
of births Of the male sex is, to that Of the

V1RG1N1A.-Monday having been pre-
viously fixed upon as the day for the ad-
journment of the Legislature of Virginia,
a great number of members having de-
parted for home before the resignation of
the Governor, and few only having re-
turned in consequence Of hearing of it,
the proposition to 60 into the election of
a Governor with so thin an attendance of
members, under the act which passed on
Saturday, gave rise to debate so pro-
tracted as to make it certain that the time
for the adjournment would arrive without
coming to decision, if the discussion was
persisted in, and the State be thus LETT
without Governor, either actual or act
ing. Under these circumstances, mo-
ton was made and carried to lay the
whole subject on the table. "A bill was
then introduced to repeal the act passed
on Saturday; and the bill was forthwith
passed into a law, mem. con. and the two
Houses adjourned without further action
in the premises. The effect of this pro-
ceedine is, as we understand from the
ENQUIRER, that "the duties of the Governor
will now devolve upon Jno. M. Patton,
ESQ, until the 3lst March; and from that
time upon the succeeding Senior Coun-
cillor, Col. John Rutherford, until the next
