FOR PRESIDENT,
JEIyDlNtRSY OLA u
OF KENTUCKY.

Pubic MEETING A meeting of the
citizens Of Madison county was held at
Canton, on the 29Ih ult., to AXE into con.
sideration the propriety OF inviting the
annexation Of Texas to the United States
Capt, John Simmons was made Chairman,
and Messrs. Sheldon and Rayner Secre-
tares A Committee consisting Of Mes
srs. Van Vacter, Smith, Calhoun, Henry
Ford, and Henderson, was appointed &c
draft resolutions. Mr.. Van Vacter as
head Of the Committee, reported pre-
amble describing the general conduct OF
Great Britain towards other nations, and
her designs upon Texas and the instltu-
ton Of slavery in the United States, ac-
companied by a series Of resolutions re-
commenting the annexation OF Texas TO
this Union; and instructlng our Senators
and Representatives in Congress to bring
the subject before Congress.--The pre-
amble and resolutions are we'll written, IN
style creditable to their modest and tai
ented author, Owen Van Vacter, Esd
though it would seem our Madison friends
are giving party character to this I'M
portanl question. This however is bound
to be the case in the present state Of po-
Iiticul parties. The resolutions were op
posed by Maj. OFT aud Judge RGifns,-

Congress meets to. day. 1t is probable
that the controversy as to the right oil
gentlemen from States not dlstrIcted 10
take their seats will delay the organza-
ton of the House, and consequently the
delivery Of the Presidents message, for
some days. The Washington correspon'
dent Of the New York Courier and En-
lnuirer writes under date of the goth ut
Lou. Jour.
"The message is about finished, and
only awaits the arrival OF Mr.. Wise, be
fore it receives his assent, and gets the
| finishing touch.
sin the present state Of the country, al
peace and out of debt, it would be difficult
for any President, but Mr.. Tyler, to make
a bad message; this document will be
more personal, than national upon the
whole, and it will have democratic skin
upon it. 1t will recommend some half
way measures about the repeal or modl-
fcation of the tariff, aud have more than
Ia sufficient quantity of ludicrous Jargon,
about the alarming and astounding en-
croac hments Of Great Britain, and other
foreign powers The manner in which
the Texan question is to be introduced
will not be decided upon till the arrival Of
Mr.. Wise, who will be certain to strike out
Iall that relates 10 the Irish repeal ques,
ltlon
81 said in my last letter, that Mr.. Mel
son had requested his name to be sent in
to the Senate at the earliest day. Mr.
Henshaw has done the same"
The correspondent Of the Baltimore
Patriot, writing under date of the Goth as
to theEcontroversy in relation to the rights
of the gentlemen from States not district
ed, says:
81 do not think myselt that the ques-
ton will be long undecided. The Globe
has sounded blast which all the faithful
will have 10 respond to and obey. The
fiat has gone forth that the members thus
illegally and unconstitu:ionally elected,
| being all patent Democrats, and necessary
Ito carry out the views and designs Of their
party in the House, must be admitted.
Hence it will be found, particularly if
they succeed in getting elected a speaker
OF The right complexion, that the Wing
members will be soon sIlenced and the
unholy edict passed, toinduce set Of rep
resentalives, who come in through dan
gerous breach in what was once regarded
as the bulwark of our safety, the Consti-
tuition of the United Stairs.

DESPERATE FIGHT WITH AN OwL.-The
Boston Post Of las, week tells the follow.
ing Owl Story :-Alenaader Messenger.
Late on Saturday night, as Mr.. John
White, musician, approached his door IN
Bridge street, his attention was arrested
by the glazing eye balls of an uncouth
looking animal, crouching on his cellar
window The object had such ''qucs-
tionable shape" that he was induced to
poke it with the end of his hickory cane.
This indgnity it instantly resented by
flying directly at him, its fierce and burn
ing-eyes giving it the appearance of a
winged demon.
With a we'll directed blow he crippled
one its wings, but it still continued the
attacks and, fastening its talons on the
stout stick, actually wrested it out of Mr.
Whites hand. 1t held on while he rails
ed it with the stick, and he gave it the
coup-de-main by beating il still attached to
the stick, against the stons step. Upon
examination it proved to be a tremen-
deous cat owl and measured feet inch
es from tip to tip of the wings. Il is To-
be stuffed by an accompis he'd taxyder-
mist, and placed in The private museum
of q gentleman who has long been en-
gagged in collecting curiosities.
Where the bird came from is not
known, but a few minutes before the rem
counter, Mr.. Alexander Clifford, proys- |
ion dealer, who was carrying a large
turkey home in the neighborhood, was
repeatedly startled by the rustling Of
wings over his head, but upon looking
up he could discern nothing, and the
strange rustling ceased when he came I'M
der lamp. 1t probably then sought
obscurity in the cellar window, awaiting
another chance at the tempting turkey
which the blazing lamp had scared it
from.
