1T Is THE REPEAL.

HoRRIBLE.--A mother and child starved
to dcah.--We have been fearful that re-
port would bring to our ears accounts of
great distress and suffering in the adjoining
reRions, in consequence Of the deep snow
and severe weather, but had earnestly no.
ped we light b. spared The melancholytask
Of recording the death Of any miserable
sufferer. In this we are disappointed. On
Saturday last, q gentleman brought TO our
village the following heart rending account.
An Irishman with bis family sometime
since, took US to his residence in Florence
in this county, four or five miles from tho
village, and mile from any neighbor.
Last summer, Tie man vas killed by the
falling Of tree, leaving a wife and three
small children. Left thus alone, the poor
woman managed to sustain herself and lit
tie ones comfortably, till winter. with i,s
severity came upon her. The deep snow
shut her Up within her little shan,v, and
she was soon forgotten by the world with
out. One Of her nelghbors CHANGING 10 call
her 10 mind. put on snow shoes, and pro-
cecded to her house nearly buried in the
snow. " 18th some difficulty he succeeded
in entering, and then, what scene In
one corner lay he lifeIess, emacratcd body
Of Inc mother. TIE suffering spirit had
fed. BY the side Of her mothers corpse,
lay the three children. just gnpsing in TIE
last stage Of starvation. They were i'm
med:a,ey taken to the nej ghbor's honsr,
and supplied with food. But in one life
was too far spent. 1t soon joined its moth
er. The others have recovered.
Not a mou,hful Of food was found in the
house; the poor woman, faithful to the i'm
pulses of n mothers heart, had for days
born the keen pains Of hunger, without
tasting food that she might give 81 Of her
scanty store 10 her starving children. Shc
lived to sec them devour the last crumh,
then laid herself down and yielded to the
agonirs Of death by starvation
Is it possible that such scene. are trans
piring within few miles Of US =? Should
not immediate measures be taken To search
out those who have been shut up by the
snow?-Rome Ciii.ea.

almost entirely become extinguished. That
the present state of the public mind with
regard to this matter, is TO be deplored;
and that the want OF interest is unfortunate
for the country, may all be true. But we
must consider things as they actually ex-
st, for it is Of but little consequence to
preach what public opinion ought 10 be in
the matter. There have not been wanting
talented and powerful efforts during the
last ten wears, to revive the declining MIL
itary spirit of the people, but they have had
little or no effect in staying the tide of pub
lie sentiment that has been accommodating
against the system Of militia trainings.
That all military organization should be
abandoned, but few if any, would be viii
ling to advocate 1t would be hazardlng the
welfare and safety of the country too much,
to dispense with every kind of military pre-
caution. In our opinion proper number
of volunteer companies should be encour-
aged by law. Volunteer companies should
have immunities and privileges, or a COM
pensation granted sufficient to induce them
to give the necessary time, and to enter
with spirit into the business of martial eX-
ercise and improvement. Let their be in
terests of pecunary as well as Of pub
lie nature, su f1icient to prompt volunteers
TO enter with spirit and alacrity into the
study and practice of military tactics. 1t
is in vain to reason that men should enter
into the business Of acquiring military
education, fromsa sense of obligation and
duty to their country without any other in
ducements;-men generally''speaking, riN
not do it, as the experience of the last ten
years has fully proven. Most men in these
times seem to entertain the opinion that
they can be good patriots and lovers of
their country without studying the
profession of soldier-hence the number
who cheerlully do military duty is compa-
ratively small. Something therefore must
be done to make it an object for men tc
acquire a military knowledge--if this is
not done, our country will be comparative
ly defenceless, and rendered weak in the
eyes Of rival nations.

SCENE IN y. YORK LEGISLATURE.

Mr.. McMurrav, a member from New

ttaning wish Mr. lee, Of Orange, W hich
was heightened Ivy some words spoken in
debate. went to Mr.. Lees seat, which is
on the oater row, and slapped him in the

we're soon surrounded by the officers and
members near, and separaed--the Speak
or meanwhile directing the doors to be clos

The doors being closed,
The Speaker remarked that gross in
dignity has been offered to the house lone
teroGaory 10 lis character in the highest
ds5roe-a he trusted there was frmness
enough in the house 10 vndicate its dignity
and character. 1t was an Outrage that he
did not suppose would 5e commttedEv any
member,onl could not be overlooked. He
repeated. he trusted the house had frmness
enough 10 yindicale in dignity in the face
oil so gross an outrage as this.
a committee OF five members was, on
motion, appointed to examine into the mat
ter. presented thei: report, which concu-
dod as follows:
The committee are unanimously of OPP
lnon that Mr.. McMurray has been guilty
oCconduct so disorderly a contempt of this
House so gross, and a breach Of pribilege
10 fragrant, as TO render him unworthy
longer to occupy scat as q member Of
tbs house: Therefore
Resolved, that William McMurrav be
and he is hereby expelled from this house.
Mr.. M'Murray was allowed to be heard
on the subicct-who stated thatha had been
mach excited for the three or four DAYS
previous apologised for the act and re-
grctted that he should have been so CARR
e. away by his feelings. A considerable
dcbate followed; several amendments were
proposed to the resolution, aud in concu-
sion, the following resolution. offered by
Mr.. w. Hale, was carried; Ayes SIS, noes

circumstances, that the said Wm. McMur-

ANOTHER EMIGRATION
OF SIOO. 600 TO TEXAS!

The New-York papers Of Saturday NOR
ming. has a dole(u account Of the proba BILE
murder Of ROBERT Su1pMAN, Bank Agent,
&c. Before, however, the Tribune went
to press, it obtained facts enough to justify
Postscript, which we suhioin:
LATER-TIIE MYSTERY SOLVED
P. S.-We learn by this mornings train
from Philadelphia TIA. Mr. Shrpman is not
murdered-but that he is on his way post
haste for Texas; with about 500. coo IN his
possession He left Philadelphia as alrea-
dy stated; ut 5 o'clock, Tuesday evening;
and on reaching Trenton left the cars, and
going to Il livery stable, told the Keeper
(who Of course knew hi'n well, and suspcc.
ted nothing that he had forgotten very
valuable package and must return 10 Phil
adelphia Immediately. He got horse and
vehicle and arrived in time to take the IL
o'clock train for Pittsburgh. Bat as he
stenDed into the cars he saw the President
Of the Mechanics Bank at Philadelphia,
who said at once, "Why Shipman. where
are you going at this time Of night" lie
careIosslv answered that he wished 10 take
a ride; bat left the cars and waited for the
train that left at O'Clock on Wednesday
evening. He entered his name at the office
as r. Johnson, and from his perfect &C
onaintance with the route and facilities Tor
travelling, will undoubtedly be able to reach
Texas some days in advance OF any body
that may undertake the pursuit. On Iues,
dsv he took from this city about S2O,Ooo
in French Gold, with instructions to depos..
tie !, in the Mint at Philadelphia. Instead
Of doing this, he exchanged it for Treasury
Notes, with which he could ofcourse more
conveniently travel He has left VIE
amount of money with which he has eIoped
is variously estimated at from $4,000 to
! $4,000. ,.,
At this rate the number of d'sbellever'
; in innate and universal depravlty must ra-
pidly decrease.

0FWe are gratifed 10 learn that the
hotel kept by Mr.. Fl. Mclaughlin of Bur-
lington, has lately bunished intoxicating
drinks from It's bar, and is now kept on
temperance principles. Mr.. Mclaughlin
is favorably known as an accommodating
and obliging landlord, and no doubt this
change in his establishment will meet with

Mclaughlin is making improvements and
additions to his house, which is already one
Of the most commodious taverns in the

times and scarcity Of money, the prospect
of Improvement in this village the present

proof conclusion that Southport will not be
behind any ofthe neighboring towns on the
lake shore in this respect. We are assured
by persons whose statements in the matter
may be relied upon, that the number of

The Wreck Of the Erie found - The
last Fredonia Censor says, The wreck
Of the steamboat Erie burnt year and a
half ago, has been found The discovery
was made by means of a compass, inven-
Ted by Capt. Chaplin, Of New York, con-
e!rucied SO that the needle viii indicate
when large bodyor iron or other metallic
substance is IN the vicinity. and its direction
from the compass. Capt G.. with Major
NcClucr Of tins place, have been engaged
for several weeks, when the weather would
permit in finding the wreck with the aid of
their compass. They went out upon the
ice, following he indications Of the needle;
ill they found by attactions of the massive
machinery that they were in the vicinity
Of the boat, when they commenced cutting
holes through the ice and sounding. After
having sounded several times upon a sandy
bottom, the lead finally struck upon the
machinery the bolts and bars Of which bad
impressions on the lead which satisfied
them of its being the wreck They mark
cd the place by anchorng buoys under the
ice. The place indicated by the compass,
corresponds with that observed by those
who saw the conhagraton.
We are informed by Mr. McCIuer, Of
whom we learn the above, that while they
were on their way out from Silver Creek,
Capt. G. observed that the needle was con-
sideraby affected, and its direction revers-
cd. Upon inquiry,they learned that a YES
sci loaded with iron, was sunk in that vicn-
lily some six or seven years ago,and to the
attraction Of which that unlocked for effects
was attributed. AS the Erie was the OBJ
jcct Of search, they made no effort to dis
cover the precise locality Of the wreck Of
the vessel.
The construction OF the compass so as
to render the needle so extremely sensitive
to tho presence OF natalie substance is
known only TO the inventor. 1t is Of very
different construction from the common
compass, which is used on steamboats,.
They will make an effort to raise the
boat when the ice is clear from the lake"
Major McCluer, in an advertisement in
Censor, designotes the position Of thewreck
and cautions all persons from removing or
modelling with the buoys placed by him.

refused; our just rights being withheld, the
Irish people are too numerous, too wise and
too good to despair, or to hesitate on the
course they should adopt. The restoration
Of the National Legislature is therefore
again insisted upon, and no compromise,
no pause, no cessation Of that demand
shall be allowed until Ireland is herself
again. .r
One word to close. No honest man ev-
er despaired of his country. No wise en-
envy will place his reliance on the difficult
ties which may lie in the way between
seven millions of human beings, and that
Liberty which they feel to be their right.
For THEM THERE CAN BE NO IMPOSSIBLE
TY.
] repeat it, that as surely as to-morrow's
sun will rise, Ireland will assert her rights
tor herself, preserving the golden and I'M
oncrous link Of the crown--irue TO the prin-
ciples of unaffected and genuine allegiance
but determined, while she preserves her
loyalty TO The British throne, to vindcato
her title to constitutional freedom for the
Irish people.
In short. Ireland demands that faction
should no longer be encouraged; that the
Government should be carried on for the
irish people, and not against them. She is
ready aud DESTROYS TO assist The Scotch and
EnglIsh rcformcrs TO extend their franchi-
scs and consolidate their rights; but she has
in vain insisted on being an equal sharer
in every political advantage. She has
yainly sough, Equality, Identity. She has
been refused, coniemptuously refused
Her las, demand is free from any alterna-
tive

WHEAT CRoP.-We learn from our ex-
changes from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio,
that in many sections Of the country, the
wheat has been greatly injured in conse-
quence of being winter killed. Great de-
fciencies are anticipated in the usual pro-
duce of this crop the present year. The
Ohio Statesman says that in some
counties in Ohio, not half a crop is expec-
red. From enquiries which we have made
of farmers in this and the adjoining coun-
ties, we do not learn that any considerable
injury has been done to the wheat now on
the ground, in consequence Of winter kill

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES. II he Demo-
cratic party in different portions of the In
ion, have recently achieved some Of the
most splendid political victories Especi-
ally in the City Of New York the demo-
Gratis have obtained one of the most over
whelming triumphs recorded in the past
political history Of the Empire City--the
majority for Morris being 5,S39. This
triumph can be regarded in no other light
than broad seal Of disapprobation upon
the wing rnisrule Of the general govern
ment. Ever since the triumph Of the COM
bined f,'ctions Of federalism in 1910, every
days experience under the new order Of
things, has had tendency to bring null
titudes back to sober thought, and conse-
quenily to an abandonment Of their adhe-
renee to the principles and measures of
the hard cider administration. The nation
has had full trial Of the favorite theories
ofthe whigparty for ameliorating the cond-
ton Of the people and regulating the trade
and business Of the country--with this trial
they have made up their verdict, and hence
they now speak out in thunder tones at the
ballot box. The people have had the full fru-
ition Of the measures Of whiggery repre-
scented by JohnsTyler and Daniel Webster
TYLER and Webster have tried their hand
at the management Of the affairs of the ma
ton, both of domestic and Of foreign rego-
tiations They have failed to convince any
considerable portion of thepeople that their
principles of governmental policy possess
any intrinsic worth.
The recent issue in the city Of New
York, was distinctly made between Henry
Clay and the Democratic party. At the
public meetings of the wings prior to the
election, it was boldly declared that the
contest would "open the campaign for
Harry of the West" The nome Clay was
placed in blazing capitals in the papers TO
excite the people to action. Blu. the result
has shown that the name of Clay is pow
erless in its influence in New York. But
the city of New York is not alone the
place where victory has. been inscribed up
on the Democratic banners. Connecticut
has disenthralled itself and stands redeemed
having an entire democratic delegation
in congress, and democratic executive.
The result of recent political contest in va
rious sections Of the Union, shows that the
democratic party were never stronger than
now. and Notwithstanding all the idle pre-
dictions that the party will be distracted
and divided in relation to the next presi-
Dental candidate, it is morally certain that
the decision Of National Convention will
receive the triumphant vote of the people.
