proper respect and regard, Without dis.
lnction Of party, al united in paying the
tribute Of regard to the silent dead. Blu.

occasion was delivered at the Methodist
Church IN the morning, By the Rev. NJ.

Mr.. Whyie addressed an attentive audi.

This is the fourth general election in
which the Wings have succeeded in Viz
GINA. But this is the first time they have
carried the Senate-a body during all that
time elevated above the reach of the broom
of Reform. Heretofore the majority there
have been Federal Loco Foco, whose boast
II was, in the language Of the Enquirer, TO
. checkmate the House Of Delegates
the immediate representatives Of the Peo-
pie. Owing TO this fact, the Wing ascen.
dancy in the State has been wholly una
yalllDg as it respected legislation. They
could carry through no measure, however
much demanded by the wishes Of the Peo-
pie and the general good Of the State, with
out the consent CT the Federal "checkma-
tcrs." There is an end now to this bane-
lal check. As next to the thorough pur-
cation of the Wing party of all spurious
aud iaithless members, this is the most
gratifying result Of the late elections
With party composed of good men and
true, we have undisputed ascendancy in
both branches of the Legislature; and as
soon as the Assembly meets, the EXecu.
tive can be restored TO Wing hands.

THE LAND BILL,
After passing the Senate, has been laid
upon the table BY the House Of Represent
tallyes by vote Of 40 10 50. That this
is a virtual rejection of the Bill, none will
pretend 10 deny, and ii was 50 ayowed by
the Van Buren, party in the House. To
be plain, we will state the facts of the case
as reported in the Globe.
When, on the 2lst ultimo, the House bad
under consideration certain Resolutions
from the Legislature of Kentucky on the
subject Of the Public Lands, Mr.. Williams
of Kentucky moved 10 refer SAID Resolu-
lions 20 the Committee of Ways and Means,
with instructions 10 report Bill (sinlar
to the one from the Senate) TO distribute
the proceeds of the sales Of the public
lands among the several States. On this
motion Il wide debate ensued which was
finally terminated by motion from Mr..
Hannegan Of Indiana, most devoted collar
man, to lay the whole subject on the tabe.
Mr.. Spcight said, in view Of the lmpor-
lance Of the question, he moved call oi
the House.
After proceeding aahilc, Mr.. Mercer
moved 10 suspend the further call Of the
House.
Mr.. iiannegan remarked, that he hoped
the call would be proceeded in, and that
they should have full House, as the mo.
ton which be had made was intended by
him 10 be a test question on The subject Of
distributing he proceeds of The sales of The
Public Lands; he had made the motion
expressly to test the sense Of the House
on this question. The vote to lay on the
table was then taken, aud decided as above
stated.
This measure, OF such vast importance
to the interest and prosperity Of maior-
ity of the States, being thus defeated, the
People should know upon whom the re-
sponsibili'y rests--what party il is that
have had the ,emerty, thus openly and
