THE TwENTY.EIGHTH CONGRESS.

Il is difficult (says the U. S. Gazette to
tell exactly how the twenty-eighth Con
gross viii be constituted as il regards its
party character. The law requiring an
election of members by single districts,
has not been every where observed. In
Louisiana, the election came on before the
law could be obeyed. Missouri and Geor-
gla, being at the time Locofoco, did not
care for the law, and they elected bv gen,
eral ticket. Massachusetts,, being at the
time Wing State, passed an apporton-
ment law, which operated fairly though
unfortunately, as a majority of the whole
number Of votes given is necessary to a
choice, only five districts elected. The
Journal Of Commerce gives the following
summary of the state of Congressional
elections thus far:

1t affords us very great pleasure to broth

our neighbor Of the w. C. Democrat, come out so
decidedly in favor OF selecting men for Office, who
sustain good moral character. For surely "the

has discharged his responsibilities private c-

duties of public station. There are so many
temptations besetting man in office, 10 seduce him

years-many years--of life Of strict adherence TO
the great principles of true morality, that man
can secure for himself the confidence Of the peo

ABUSE OF NEW ENGLAND-BUNKER
Hill

Levi ID. Slamni, editor OF a ffothy loco foco pa
per in New York--The Plebian--has Tor some time
been showerng torrents of abuse upon the people
OF New England in general, aud Massachusetts aud
Bunker Hill in particular. This tirade was com
menced soon after the celebration OF the completion
OF Bunker HILL Monument. The rankest KIND OF
tory doctrines are unblushingly put forth, and
doubtless swallowed by the loco foco readers of
that PRINT, Tor they always believe what their organs
tell them, true or false Has il indeed TO this,
that the Revolution and its authors are boldly de-
nounced by men claiming TO be friends of freedom
and equal rights Shame on such pretensions To
democracy. Can paper maintaining such doc
trines be read aud patfonized by Americans. That
event which General Washington considered the
salvation Of his country, is called mere humbug
and disgrace, by the editor of the Plebian. Had
such sentiments these been uttered by some for
eign tourist, who wished to write something TO
please the subjects Of the crowned heads of Europe
we should have considered il a matter scarce worth
noticing but when we find those amongst Us, who
hold TO, and promulgate such sentiments, we can
not refrain from expressing our adherence of the
men and their doctrines. The Globe copies the
foul ISLANDERS of the Pleban, thus giving wider cir
culauon to these tory doctrines. If such the
opinion and sentiments Of the leading loco foco
journals, they had better exert their Influence To
bring us again under the yoke Of Great Britain.
This tory Plebian is the especial organ OF Mr.
Van Buren,, in New York. Does Mr. Van Buren,
approve such doctrines? We know he once in
S""S.eu ""' "ihis'et al uie Souft OF o. Jnmes, TO
say that our country IN The wrong, and Great
Britain in the right-still we have had more chart
ty for even him, than TO suppose he would counte-
nance any thing denuncidory of the Patriots of the
Revolution. But it may be, that he is at the bot.
tom Of the whole uffair. II is certainly novel
mode of eleciioneering; but every expedient has
been tried, almost, that ingenuity devise, save
this, and now TO see what capital can be

DR.. HAHNEMANN.

The New York Tribune states, that Dr. Hahne-
mann, the author of the Homeopathic system of
medicine, was elected an honorary member Of
the Medical Society in the city Of New York, elev-
en- years ago. His claims to that honor as a medi-
cal scholar of talents and eruditon were fully dis
cussed and admitted, without reference to his Pc
cular system of medicine. Al a meeting of that
Society, a short time since, twenty-eighi members
being present. resolution to rescind the election Of
that gentleman was introduced and carried. This
was aimed as blow, it is presumed, against Ho-
mepa,hy. A miserable way this, to put down her.

We trust that the Wings in every town in the
State will see that every thing is done that can be
done TO bring out TO the polls the entire strength Of
the party at the approaching election. Have the
several town committees discharged their duty ?
Are district committees appointed If not il should
be attended TO at once there is no time 10 be lost
Let all remember that "eternal vigilance Is the
price of liberty" Very much depends upon the
efficient action OF the town committees; let them
remember that great responsibility rests upon them
if they neglect their duty, and do not see that
proper organization is attended to, they may have
occasion, after the election, sOrely to lament their
negligence.
We know very well that this is a busy season of
the year with farmers yet il is to be hoped that
none will forget that they have an important duty
to discharge in September; and il becomes every
Wing TO remember, though his accustomed avoca-
tons may require much attention, that he cannot
be excusable for neglecting the interests of his
country. Every Wing can do much between this
and the day of election, to bring about the result he
desires. If Every Wing should stay at home on
the day of election, il needs very great wisdom
to see that our opponents would triumph. But if
the Wings all come out and VOTE we know Just as
jority, as we know they would be defeated If they
should all but one remain at home There Is
no danger to be apprehended, then, if the Wings
do their duty. Let the town committees do their
duty-let school district committees be appointed.

II at the polls vote for the Wing candidates, and

Suppose we were invaded by foreign foe, threat
