best to keep Mr.. Clay out of the House, fearing he
would there be chosen if sent up. In many OF the
States, the struggle was caucus and antcaucns and
the anti.caucus party satisfied they could only
carry the vote against Mr.. Crawford. In this State,
Mr.. Clay decidedly the fnvorite with large por
ton Of the i'uckta party, claiming to be the Simon
Pure Democrats; and Col Sam. Dung, (now Sec
rotary of Stae) who was the Buck,all candidate for
Governor in 1924, declared himself in favor of the
election of Mr.. Clay for President Senator Benton
went the whole length for him in Missouri. But the
running of Gen. Jackson divided the vote OF the
West then by no means so strong as now-Craw-
ford took most of the South, and Calhoun gave the
balance to Jackson who carried Pennsylvania by n
wlldhre movemcnt-the rival parties in the canvass
for Governor in 1928 having each declared for Jack
son. hoping that his name would give them popuar
iy with the least rejecting voters. Mr. Adams car
ried New England entire, and most of the votes of
New York, with Two or three in Maryland. Mr..
Clay received the votes OF Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri,
and in New York 1t was understood when the
Buck tails voted the antcaucus electoral ticket that
Mr.. Clay should have votes enough to carry him
into the House; but the unexpected vote of Louisiana
for Jackson instead OF Clay threw the latter into the
lack ground. Gen. Jackson received 90, Mr.. Adams

FIRE.

The Hotel kept by John Howard was dis
covered to be on fire about nine O'Clock on
Monday morning last. But by the prompt
and energetic efforts of the citizens the pro-
gress of the devouring element was stayed
before it had proved very destructive. Sew
eral sleeping apartments, in the back par, of
the house, were however, invaded by it.
The fire is supposed to have taken IN the
back kitchen. Mr.. Howard desires to eX-
press his warmest thanks TO the Boxer and
Volunteer engine companies, as we'll as to
the citizens generally, by whose promptitude
and energy his building was saved from de-
structon.

CAUSE OF THE DDATH OF Mr.. LEGARL.
1t is stated in the Madsonan, that DR.. ia
cob Bigelow has furnished for the Boston
Medical Journal, the details of Mr.. Legare's
disease, and the condition of the patient dur
ing his last illness. Strangulated intestines,
produced by sodentary habits, was the inn
mediate cause Of his death, as every effort to
relieve the patient proved unavailing.-Dr.
Bigelow remarks that about half an hour be-
fore his death he got up from his bed with
out assistance, and upon lying down again,
earnestly asked for water. On receiving it,
he pushed it away, saying it was filled with
ants. A white paper was shown him, and
he made the same remark. On being told
it was an Ill usion Of the sight, he put forth
his hand for the glass, but missed it, said a
few words inooherently, leaned back and ex-
pred wthou, struggle. Upon post NOR
tenn examination, it was found that the intes-
tines were twisted four times, and that opo
of them was distended to the circumiereueo
of fifteen inches The disease or obyirac-
ton was entirely beyond medical aid

cuses US of sneering at Mr.. Jefferson in our
article on United States Bank. This is
unfair and disingenuous, and leads us to fear
that the high sounding professions of that pa
per on the score of its intended decency and
fairness, are destined to fall into the common
category OF Locofoco professions, which are
coined for use, and published to deceive.
The truth is, that we sneered not at Mr.
Jefferson, but at the stupid obstinacy will
which an ignorant loco will vociferate the
name Of that statesman, when all other ar
guments have failed him. The Il. ID. can
only escape the mputation of wilfully per-
verting our meaaing, by claiming to have
been SO dull as not to have understood plain
English. 1t is welcome to make its election
between the horns of the dilemma.

1876 lbs, costs Qess the barely 81 IS. The weight
is estimated TO increase % per cent in being trans
mnted into bread. Thus we have 245lb. of bread
from each barrel; say shilling loaf weighs 3llbs,
we have seventy loaves in barrel, which at the

Besides this, the grocer has his profit of penny on

are other articles of consumption, and until
some regulation be made that the loaves shall be
of uniform weight in several sizes, or stamped, we

The session Of the present Legisla-
ture has just been terminated, Its acts
are now matter Of history, and are wait
ing the decision OF great and intelIi-
gent people. We have nothing TO say
as to the scenes which have been en-
acted 10 the halls of legislation, where
order and reason should ever reign. We
would for the honor OF our State, throw
the pail Of oblivion over these. We
would forget them, while the actors
should be handed over to the condemna
ton Of an insuted people. 1t was with
the acts Of this legislation we have TO
do; and before returning TO our homes,
we, the minority. would invoke public
attention TO The course of policy, which
the majority have, during the session
now closed, pursued Vigilance is the
price of liberty. The people mus, scru.
tinze the conduct OF their servants, and
hold them TO rigid responsibility, if
they would bind them down to a single
regard to the public welfare. II cannot
be disguised that there are two great
parties in this country, representing d4f.

for the supremacy. Our political oppo
