Senate would meet hereafter at | | o'clock,
which was laid on the table. 4 motion
was then made TO adjourn over until Mon
day, and was almost unanimously carried.
HouSc.-lmmedlateIy after the reading
of the journal, motion was made to adj
journ, which in compliance with the res
olution of Monday would be until Mon
day next. This was withdrawn, to ena.
bic one of the Ohio members to introduce
Mr.. Giddings, the Abolitionist, who has
been reelected. The Appropriation bill
was received from the Senate, and with
the amendments referred to the committee
on ways and means. Mr.. Elabersham,
from the committee on Manufactures.
made minority report on the subject of
the Tariff. A motion was then made to
adjourn, which was rejected and several
similar motions were made with the like
effect, as the yeas and nays were ordered,
and members did not like to record their
names in the affirmative. At length a mo-
ton to adjourn was made, and the yeas
and nays were not ordercd---and some Of
those who cofed no, were among the first
to pass through the teIers in favor of it.
OF course it was carried by large ma
Jority.
Nondoy, May o. Senate.--A COM
munlcalion was received from Thomas
w. Dorr, Governor Of Rhode Island,
transmitting, under the 'broad seal" res
olutions of the Legislature, with the infor-
nation that the Government of the State
has been duly organized, and that the
General Assembly are now in session and
discharging their duties. MIR. Benton
made some remarks in relation to an ar
ticle which appeared in a late number of
the Madisonlan, purporting to give eX-
tracts from letters written by him recon-
mending Mr. Watson as postmaster at st.
Louis. These extracts were falsehoods,
as he had never written what was impu-
ted to him. But the Postmaster General
had made it ground of accusation against
him that he had published letters from
the files of the Post Office Department,
and wished to know by what authority
the Editor of the Madisonian could do
whatwas denied to members of Congress.
Mr.. b. then onerd resolution of inquiry,
which lays over. The special order OF
the day was then called up, which was

so far, the expression of public opinion is greatly
in favor Of Judge FonD, as the candidate of the
democracy for governor"
Every democratic paper in the State, with the
exception of two or three, who have said aoy
thing upon the subject ofa candidate for Cover
nor, have expressed their preference for JUDGE
FORD, and we sincerely believe that in Tess than
two weeks, he will be the only democratic candi-
date in the field. THOMAS FORD and JOHN
MOORE may, therefore, be considered the
governor of Illinois at the next August election,
With such men as our candidates, who can doubt
the result Of the approaching campaign!

The Character Or a Happy Lie.


mr. SIN u. worroS---noRN ls63--DiEp 1863!
How happy is he born or taught,
That serveth not anothcr's will
Whose armor is his honest thought,
And simple truth his highest skill
Whose passions not his masters are;
Whose soul is still prepared for death;
Not ty'd unto the world with care
: Ofprince's ear or vulgar breath:
Who hath his life fromrumors freed;
Whose conscience is his strong retreat:
Whose state can neither latterers feed.
Nor ruin make oppressors great:
Who envies none, whom chance doth raise,
Or vice: who never understood
How deepest wounds are given with praise;
Nor rules of state, but rules Of good;
Who Coz doth late and early pray
More of his grace than gifts to lend;
And cnteTtains the harmless day
With a well chosen book or fiiend.
This man is freed from servile bands
Ofhopc to rise, or fear to fail;
Lord of himself, though not Of lands;
And having nothing, yet hath all.

months ago the Colonel was perfect sot, and
could not have received vote for the lowest
Office. Now he is enjoying the respect and full
confidence of his fellow citizens.

The people wish no better exposition of the
principles of the present Wing party than the
course they are pursuing with reference to the
Rhode Island controversy. There is not, to our
knowledge, a wing paper in the Union, but what
has taken decided stand against the patriotic
people Of Rhode Island, who, having long sub
miited 10 the iron yoke of corrupt money aristo.
cracy, chartered by King Charles the II. have at
last resolved to assert their rights do away
with this old charter by which they are obliged
to bear the burden of the government without
the right of being represented in the public coun-
ellis. The Wings go for the charter in preference
to tie constitution. Property qualifications in
preference to Free Suffrage! Certainly theiI
democracy is of very peculiar character, and OF
that description which the people everywhere
will most certainly repudiate on all proper occa.

Assassination OF Gov. sor.s.

Ex-Governor Boggs, of Missouri, was shot in
his own residence at Independence, on the 9Th
inst, by man who fired at him through the win
dow. Two balls entered his head and two his
neck. At first, the wounds were believed to be
mortal, but "by the skill of his ply scians in pre-
venting inflammation" says the Independence
Missouran of the Nth ult., ''Gov Boggs still sur
wives, and we are happy to say, there exists now
a reasonable hope of his final recovery" AS yet
nothing has been elected giving the least hope
that the perpetraor Of this horrid deed will be de-
tec,ed. In the hurry of his retreat, the murderer
dropped pistol, which was recognized as one OF
pair stolen some days before. The citizens OF
Jackson county have offered reward of $1,000 for
the apprehension of the person persons concern
ed in the murder.
