The hill 10 reduce the postage on letters 10 fix

The bin for the occupation and settlement Of

The 'slast night" of the session was attended,
by all accounts with the usual disreputabe scenes
of noise and confusion, FOR which the adjournment
OF congress is so celebrated The senate ."as in

nominated three times successfully as secretary

The president next nominated Mr.. Spencer,

jorty of two, and that only, it is said, view of
the dcplOrablc condition GA the government, with
no more competent, person at the head Of this
important department, for the last nine months,
than the present chief clerk. Under any other
circumstances, the Rochester letter would have
been ms fatal to the success Of Mr. Spencer, as Mr.

delpha Forum, describes the train Of the comet
as stretching from the western horizon in a soutl
oastorly direction, with a southern dcclination o
abou, 40 degrees:
From this place it extended through
the southern stream of the constellation
Eridanus, in the direction of l.epus, INIT
it disappeared within about ten degrees o
Nibal, in the square Of the last named
constellation. A line drawn from Sirius
through the square OF Lepus and contnu'
ed to the horizon, would mark out the
course of the train. Another line drawn
from the polar star through the IIyades,
would mark its eastern extremity in the
neighborhood of the Hare. From this il
will be seen that the right ascension OF
this point was about o. degrees, and It's
southern declinaiion "a degrees. The
whole length of train above the horizon at
8 o'clock =. Nj. was about 45 degrees.
Judging from its direction, the body of the
comet must have been somewhere in or
near the constellation PheniX, not far per-
haps from the equinoctial colure. The
whole train is probably more than 70 de-
gress in length.
John Jones' Of the Madisonian, thinks it is the
zodacal light, but the description he gives Of that
phenomenon will hot answer to the appearance Of

End that it is, in fact, the 2odaicm HgM.
1t is rarely seen in northern latiludes, but
is frequently or almost constantly observ-
cd in the torrid zone. The best time for
seeing it, in England, is said to be shout
the first of March, at 7 o'clock in the eve
ming; which corresponds pretty exactly
with the time of its present appearance
here. 1t was first noted, in modern
times, by Dcscartcs, about the year 1859 /;
but did not engage general attention until
it was described and named by Cassini
the elder, in 1888 Cassini often men
tons the great resemblance Of the zodaical
light to the tails Of comets. The extent
Of The zodacai light, from the sun to its
point, is seldom less than IS, and some
times $50 degrees in length. The light
seems TO have no other motion lhan that OF
the sun itself. lis brightness resembles
that Of the milky way, &c.

ted to draft resolutions expressive Of the views c

On motion, r. H. Dickcy, ]. G. Champlin and
p. Schermcrhorn were appointed said committee,
who reported the following resolutions which
were unanimously adopted
Resolred, That in view of the suffering condi-
ton Of our country, continued as i, is by executive
usurpation, executive tyranny, aud executive
roachcry---whch has prevented llie consultation
Of the will Of the people of this nation, as declared
| in tones of thunder in ls40-we deem it the duty
of every true whig: of every true lover of his
coun,ry's good vi every true friend of liberty
to rouse frorp the Iethargy of the past two years
put on lis political armour, and fight maniuy
benrei1rth through the great political struggle
rhich lies before rs.
Rsnisrd That inasmuch as the Legislature has
dsiheted this State into congressional districts;
and inasmuch as the wing members of the general
assembly, at a meeting held in the city of Spring
field on the 2Sih day Of February ut, adopted
the following resolution, which we most highly
approve, viz:
"Rssoiyed, That we recommend to the wings
of each congressional district to hold district con
vcntion, or before the LIST Monday OF May
next, to he composed OF number OF delegates
from each county equal to double the aumber OF
its representation in the general assembly, pgoyi-
ded that each county shall have at least one dele
gate; said delegates to lie chosen by primary
meetings of the wings, at such times and places
as they in their respective counties may see fit;
said district conventions each to nominate one
candidate for congress. and one delegate TO a ma
tional convention, to be holden in the city of BAL
iimorc on the ID day of May, 1914. The seven
delegates so nominated to national convention
10 have power to add two delegates to their own
number, aud to ill all vacancies"
And. inasmuch as there exists no organized
body OF wings within this the 4th congressional
distHet, whose peculiar business it is to attend TO
the execution of the measures therein recommei''
ded we therefore, as members of the wing party
recommend to our wing friends to hold county
meetings in each county in the district and TO APP
pout delegates to attend district convention, TO
DO holden at some central point IN the district, to
nominate candidate for congress, and one dele
gate to a national convention aud that we sug-

Paying DeJis.-What man, in these times,
connot bear experimental evidence to the truth of
the following:
What pleasure it is to pay our debts.
Ii seems to flow from combination
of circumstances. In the first place, il
removes the uneasiness which a true spi-
rit feels from dependence and obligation.
1t affords pleasure to the creditor, and,
therefore gratifes our social affections.
1t promotes that future confidence, which
is SO very interesting to an honest mind.
1t opens prospect of being readily sup
piled with what we want on future occa-
sions. 1t leaves consciousness of our
own virtue, and it is measure we know
10 be right-both in point of justice and
sound economy. Finally, it is the main
support Of simple reputation.
