1t is rumoreG that if Pennsylvania in.
structs her senators TO vote for the repeal
of the Sub Treasury that one (Mr. Buch-
anan) will resign, and the other (Mr.
Sturgeon,) obey,-which will pass Hr
Clay's resolution Of repeal in the Senate.
1t is also stated, that Mr.. Webster will
resign his seat in the Senate the latter part
Of February, in season to let the Legisla.
turc of Massachusetts fill the vacancy.
The Cabinet may now be considered as
settled upon, as far as the opinion of mem:

Mr. Sergeant has ceased to be named
for the Treasury. 1t is not at all improb-
able, that he will take Mr.. Steyenson's
place at the Court Of St. James.
Many desire that Judge Porter Of Louis
lana, should go into the Cabinet-but the
so-called Southern States, or SOUTHEAST
ern rather, seem to think that they have a
right TO a member peculiarly among them
selves.
1t is much doubted whether Mr.. Clay
ton, Of Delaware. would take if offered,
the Treasury. Though man Of eminent
genius, he is declined to the severity Of la
Dor, such post would impose, and unam-
bilious of any public station, as ne ever
has been, least Of all it is thought would
he covet that of the Treasury.
General Harrison's presence here is
awaited with much int crest. All things are
unsettled, and must be ill he comes. The
members here, most Of them new, since
the Gen. Harrison's day, are not certain
of exactly what sort Of man he is
Whether he will command all, or consult
all, have his own way among all, is in the
minds of many, question yet.
In the meantime, the gay season is open

MCLEOD GREAT EXCITEMENT ATIOcv

We learn from several Of our Citizens 2
who came home last night from the cas-,
that Messrs. Buel and Bfotherson. citizen,
OF Canada, were IN Lockport on Wcdns..

preferred the security for his release.
This much had occurred up to IL o.
clock on Wednesday night. Expresses
were despatched, by The citizens 10 the sur.
rounding country, and hundreds were pour.
ing INTO the village TO prevent Mcboed'S
release; and during the whole Of the nigh.
the town was in a state of uproar-ca0non

Up 10 ten o'clock on Thursday mornipc

Contested Egectioa. The Committee
on Elections in the Territorial Legislature,
have been for some time engaged in the
investigation Of the claims TO seat in that
body, by Messrs. Bruce and Ellis. The
case was decided by the Legislature in ia
vor Of Ellis on the 30th ult. Both parties
were heard on the floor of the House by
counsel, M. M. Strong Esq. for Ellis, and
II. N. Wells Esq. for Bruce. The prin-
cipal matters a, issue, involving the election
Of one or the other party, was the legality
OF the election in precinct denominated
tho " Pinery," and the election in the Man
chester precinct which includes the Broth
ertown Indians. The vote Of the Pnery
precinct, was rejected because Of certain
informalitics by vote of "a to 2. The
next question to be decided was the legality
Of the vote Of the Brothertown Indians
This elected long discussion, in which
the counsel on both sides were heard, and
also members of the House participated, (
Messrs. Wilton and Brunson for rejecting
the vote, and Mr.. Deming in favor retain
ing h.) The House resolved to retain the
vote of the Manchester precinct by vote
of Is to 10. The final vote of the House
admitting Ellis to seat in the House, was
carried IL toll. Mr.. Ellis was then con-
Quoted by tho Sergeant at Arms TO the
Speakers desk, and the usual oath admin.
istered TO him.

COMMUNICATIONS fayoring
the Telegraph with communications will
oblige Us very much by being as brief in
their remarks as the nature,of the subjects
will admit. We have several communica-
sions on hand which have the merit Of be-
ing we'll written, but their length is objec-
tionable.
A correspondents: at Geneva is Informed
chat his communication has been received,
and while we acknowledge that he has
treated his subject with much ability, we
must respectfully decline its publication
for two reasons-l. Its length; 2. The
interest in the public mind on the subject,
has in great measure passed away.
