BATTLE OF ST. DENIS.

We would call the attention al our reas
ders, 10 the account Of that memorable
battle, as given in this Number, inasmuch
as many exaggerated and even false state
ments have been made in relation TO the
same. We believe the public will Ind the
facts, as here related. TO be correct and
without prejudice. This battle IS impo'-
ran, as being the first regular physical
contest between the oppressed Canadians,
and the willy despots Of Downing Street
intrigue and their plant tools IN Cansda.
The issue Of this struggle was glorious
for The Cansdians, as il not only enhansrd
,heir hopes Of deliverance from British
Bondage. bat humbled the pride O 'heH
oppsessors. who saw in this result the
ultimate triumph OF liberty over oppression

TWENTY.SEVENTH CONGRESS-,
SECOND SESSION.

loa3oy, Dec, 7.-Senatc-This day,
at IL o'clock, the second session of the
9Th congress commenced, with a full at
tendance Of senators. The president pro
ten. having announced that there was a
quorum present, 4 message was sent to
the house to communicate that fact, and
committee was appointed 10 wait upon the
president, with similar committee from
the house, to inform him that they were
ready to receive any message he might
have to communicate. The customary re-
solution for furnishing the senators with
newspapers was next adopted, and then
the senate adjourned.
H0uSe-The speaker took the chair at
IL clock, and, the names of the members
being called over and quorum found pre-
sent, Mr.. Granger, of New York, and Mr..
Dodge, of Wisconsin, came forward, were
sworn, and took their seats,
A message was received from the Sc
nate to inform the house that the senate
was ready to proceed to business.
Mr.. w. Cost Johnson requested the
speaker to disconnect his name from the
committee on public lands. The great
question of distribution being disposed of,
he wished to turn his attention to another
subjecl-that Of our national ioundries.
Whilst he was up, he would make an ef-
iorl-ho hoped it would be successtul-to
proceed with the immediate organization
of the house, and he therefore moved tenn
porarily to adopt the rules of the twenty
sixth congress.
Mr.. Adams had an amendment to offer.
lie was willing to adopt all the rules of
the Goth congress, as they existed at the
close of its last session, except the 2lst.
Laughter. His amendment proposed TO
omit that rule. At the last session, he
said, that rule had been excluded by three
distinct votes Of the house.
Mr.. Fillmore foresaw it was indispen.

Our readers will remember that few weeks
ago, in accounting for the defeat Of part of the
democratic ticket in New York City, AT the recent
election we took occasion to ccnsure the course
pursued by Bishop Hughes, in getting up IA sepa.
rate ticket to he supported by the Catholics. A
friend, (who is Il watm friend of Bishop lI.) be-
licying that in our remarks we had done the BIZ
shop injustice, has handed US the following arti-
Gle with the request that we should publish it,
that our readers may see something on both sides
of the question. The request is reasonable, and
we comply with it without hesitation. The prin-
cpal ground of defence set up for the Bishop, it
will be seen, is that, as both the democratic and
wing candidates were opposed to the claims of
the catholics, they could only have voted iorthcir
enemies, had they not nominated ticket of their
own. But what did Bishop H. propose to gain
by nominating third ticket His creduliiy GER
tainly could not have gone so far as to imagine
its election. The wing candidates were pledg-

The Canal.

1t is really amusing to see the numerous spccu-
lations of the press in this State who are opposed
the Canal. They cannot see why it is, that the
contractors are able to take State bonds at par
md successfully prosecute their work. They all
harp on the same string, and conclude that the
State is Ieechcd at every pore.
If one half of the ant-cana editors in this State
were acquainted with the real situation Of the
contractors and aborers on the canal we
are confident their opposition would cease,
and imaginary evils would vanish at the ap-
proach of truth and sobcrncss. II they cannot
iathom the mystery respecting the prosecution of
the Canal whilst the bonds are selling at a large
disconn,,wc ask them to accompany us few miles
eong the line. Heels large body Of industrious
men, they have built their houses, enclosed their
grounds, and depend entirely on the public works
for the support of themselves and families. They
are obliged to work, or to exhaust the remnant of
their earnings in more prosperous days, to sup
ply their daily wants. Could they migrate to
places where labor is in demand they would do
so, but as the whole country is at a stand in the
improvement system, this course is out Of the
question, and consequently every consideration OF
policy demands that they remain where they are
What then is to be done Shall they refuse tc
work because the contractors cannot pay then
their former cash prices Or will they avail
themselves of the only means offered to support
kn MI Of tboir far "a 10, a.
selves beyond the reach of perjury and want
Every consideration of expediency and proprlety
demand of them to pursue the latter course, ant
consequently The contractor pays about one hal
less than formerly, tor his hbc,'
The situation of the laborer is precisely tn,
situation of the farmer and every business man il
the community. TIE farmer has his grain, beet
and pork, and is obliged to dispose of it for sucI
considerations as will be most advantageous t
him. If he can exchange his surplus produc
for "State Liabilities" and those liabilities vii
pay for hi, land when it comes in market, the FAR
mer receives but scanty consideration for hi
products, as compared 10 previous years whci
labor was high and the State was able to NEE
her liabilities in cash. So wilheyery other brancl
of business.
How ungencrous is it then, for editors profess
ing liberality aud Independence, to he bound dowr
neck and heels to sectional prcjuliccs and party
discipline, at the expense Of justice, honesty, an,
candor. We ask them to reflect on the real situa
ton of affairs. That the Canal can, O; the prcscn
time, be prosecuted at less expense 10 tie Si1ie tia,
at any precious period, must appear Obvious t,
