Dreadful Surgical Operation.

One of the most appalling and arduous sur
gical operations perhaps ever attempted, was
performed at the Kings College Hospital, New
Bruhswick, last week, on young girl oftwelve,
who had tumor in cavity of the upper jaw
bone, which actually pushed the eye ball out of
its socket, and produced the most hideous de-
formi,y. In order TO get a. the tumor, incisions
had to be made in the integuments of the face,
and The cheek bones sawn through and remov-
ed from their various detachments. For about
sixteen minutes, the time which the operation
took, the whole of the right side Of the face was
laid bare, exposing the back part of the throat,
tongue and palate. Some of the spectators
turned pale at the sight of the operation, but
the poor girl bore it with wonderful for,itude,
and the operator acted with skill as though
his nerves were Of iron. After the operation,
the whole of the complicated ntegumenis were
replaced with suiures, and there are hopes Of
the recovery of the girl, if the nervous system
survives the shock.

John Tyler and the loco foco members Of Con-
eress, in their infatuation to destroy the political
prospects of the Wings, have defeated every law
which was calculated to have salutary influence
upon the trade and business of the country. They
have refused their assent in establishing a sound
and uniform currency, and they have opposed and
defeated every effort to foster eur infant manufac-
tories, and to give protection to our own citizens
in preference to foreigners. These are sufficient
answers to the interrogatories of "reform" and
"good times" &c. The Wings have done every
thing in their power to bring them about; but the
coalition of John Tyler and loco focoism has pre-
vented them.
AS to the queries of"retrenchment'' and "reduc-
ton in public expenditures we triumphanty an
swer, that the Wings have fulfilled their promises.
Here they could not be driven from their ground
by either John Tyler or the loco focos and they
have made retrenchments in the expenses of the
Navy and Army alone, which will save the coun-
try five millions annually. They have also Topped
off many of the luxuriant branches of the differ
ent departments, and reduced the salaries of other
officers and clerks. In conclusion we repeat, the
Wings have ever been and are still ready to carry
out all the promised measures of reform, if John
Tyler and the loco focos will but permit them.

Our Affairs with England.

The negotiations between Lord Ashburton, late
representative of Great Britain, and Daniel Web
ster, the American Secretary of State, have been
concluded, and are said to embrace all points of
variance between the two countries, which have
arisen East of the Rocky Mountains. A special
agent was despatched by the Great Western, which
left New-York last week, to carry the articles of
the Treaty to the Queen of England, for her sane
ton. The President also transmitted copy to
the Senate, on Thursday last, who Immediately
entered upon the consideration thereof with closed
doors The provisions of the Treaty are said to
be highly honorable tc both countries; but the de-
tails have not yet been made public.

Congress.

The Committee appointed by the House TO
consider Captain Tyler's last Veto, no doubt
reported their conclusions on Monday. The
Whig Members of the Senate and House held
a caucus in the Senate Chamber, on Saturday
evening last, to deliberate upon the present
condition of the country, and for free inter
change Of sentiment The result of The delb-
Grafton showed that large majority of the
Wing Members of Congress are in favor OF
making another effort TO pass Tariff BIZ, be-
fore adjourning. 1t is uncertain, however,
wha, Bill will be agreed upon, and more uncer-
tain still whether John Tyler will sign it, when
passed, or not The Wings, nothing daunted by
his opposition. however, will labor to do some
thing for the country till every CLEAN Of hope
for accomplishing it is completely dispelled.

Horrible Murder.

The Mountaineer, published at Edensburg, in

der committed upon an old lady, widow, named
airs. Elizabeth Holden, by two laborers named
Flanagan, strangers in that place, who were
under the impression that she had money. They
robbed the house and escaped. One hundred
dollars are offered for their apprehension, by

them, and fred a rifle al one, but missed him;
they made their escape in the darkness OF the
night into the neighboring woods.

Western Elections.

North Carolind-In this State, the Wings have
large majority of the popular vote, and have re-
elected Governor Morehead by several thousand
votes. In the choice of Members of the Legisla-
ture, we have not been so fortunate. The Loco
Focos will have about fifteen or twenty majority
on Joint ballot, which secures them the United
States Senator in the place of Mr.. Graham, Wing,
whose time will expire on the 4th Of March.
Kentucky.--This good old State, the battle
ground of two wars, and the home of the patriot
and statesman, Henry Clay, remains as firm as
adamant to the Wing cause. At the late election
loco-focoism scarcely retained foot-hold on her
soil, and the only matters of excitement at the
polls was that occasioned by the friends and oppo-
nents of Relief Ld,cs, upon which grounds most of
the members of the Legislature were elected.
Minois.-As usual has gone for the Loco Focos.
They have elected the Governor and a majority
of the Legislature.
Alabama and Missouri, also still cling fast to
their ancient principles, and have permitted loco
focoism to triumph again within their BORDERS
These three latter States all cast theii votes for
Mr.. Van Buren, in l640; so they could scarcely be
expected to go differently now.
Indiana.-The returns from this State come
in slowly. Although the election was held on
the lst of August, the precise result has not
yet been ascertained. The Wings will how
ever, it is certain, have from six TO eight ma.
jorily in the Senate, while the Locos will prob
ably have small majority in the House BY
the latest advices from Washington, if The news
can be relied upon, our friends have carried the
Legislature. If this is so, we will have ma.
jority in the next U. S. Senate, against all per
adventure.

Commerce.
The House of Representatives, on motion of
Mr.. Adams, proceeded at l o'clock to the con-

MIR. Adams closed his remarks with mo-
ton to refer the message of the President TO
select committee of thirteen members

der TO the effect that the motion Of Mr.. Adams

two hours by Messrs Wise, Gushing, Profit,
Foster, Fillmore and Underwood, and then the

regret that the pre- occupation Of our COL

prevalent, from our contemporaries ia
the different counties. The Convention
will be numerously %aItended, beyond all
doubt. We observe with feelings of Pc
cuIIar satisfaction, that the Wings Of
Licking are wide awake, aud coRtem-
plate a warm reception for their friends
from the other COUNTIES. We are glad
to notice this sIgu. Licking county
must be conquered from the enemy. A
vigorous effort would result in its redenp.
ton this fail. Let the Wings organize
their townships thoroughly Jet them
disseminate the right kind OF informa-
tion-let meetings be held for the dis &.
cusslon OF principles and measures, and
it could not long continue to be disgraced
by such a representation as it has now in
the Legislature,
The following notice issued by the
Wing Central Committee of Licking, is
ia the right vein, and is an earnest that
the supporters of good government, are
preparing for a full discharge OF their du
ty.
