STATE PRISON FRANKS

Monroe Edwards, the swindler, has
created quite stir al Sing Sing, his pres.
ent domicil. The New York papers thus
relate the scene:
lie had feigned sickness some time -
On applying TO the Physician lie was ad.
vi'ed TO take an emetic, when he replied
he would sooner jump into the river and
drown himself. He, however, coDclu-
ded to take It, when he was sent 70 The
hospital to obtain it. He had not been
gone long, when one of the convic,s
shouted, man in the dock a man in The
dock! at the same time extending pele
into tue water as il attempting 10 save
him. A crowd soon gathered, but The
convict said the poor fellow bad ;"S,
sunk. Near this spot lay Edwards' can
with slip ofpaper in it, on which was
written these tragic wOlds:-THe deed
UGs done.
Forthwith the river was raked, but all
in vain. So the conclusion ran that Ed.
wards was drowned. Such was the be.
lief for near two days, when on Thurs.
day evening (lhe scene having occurred
OnWednesday the 5th) he was discovered
snugly concealed in box in his work
room, supplied with provisions for three
days, and enough cogniac to mOisten it.

THE PRESIDENCY.

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENTS The

have been named by their democratic
friends as candidates for the Presidency,

opposed to a national bank-the distribu.
ton ofthe proceeds Of the public lands
a protective tariff-and an amendm ent
of the constitution o { the United States
further limiting the veto power; and
whether they will abide by the decision
Of national convention. Answers from
Messrs. Calhoun, johnson, Cass and
Buchanan, are published. To the four
first interrogatories, they all answer that
they are opposed to the measures threin
mentioned jandg give reasons fully iustifying
their opposition To the last interrOgS.Ory +,
Col. Johnson, Gen. Cass,and Mr.. Buch-
anan, answer unqualiiedly hat they
will abide by the decision of a demo-
cratic national convention. Mr. Calhoun
says that his name has been presented
by no agency ofhis; and that it belongs
to the friends who prefer him, to decide
upon the course proper to be adopted, in
reference TO this question. He adds that
he has no reason to doubt, but that they
will cheerfully abide by the decision of
the convention, fairly called, and fairly
constituted; that would allow ample time
for the full development Of public Opin.
ion, and would repres ent fully, equally,
and fairly, the voice Of the majority Of
the party.

AFFRAV in the Pennsylvania Legisla.
ture.-The COrrespon dent of the Nor.
ristOwn Register, under date Of the 9Th
inst. gives the following account of an
afffay in the House of Representa-.
tives.
"Since writing you last, there has been
another tracas IN the Hall Of the House
OF Representatives. This day about 10
O'Clock, the State Capitol Gazette was
distributed by the officers Of the House
TO the different members' desks. which
paper contained some severe libellous
paragraphs on several members, in which
Mr.. Brawley, of Crawford, and Mr., Nc.
Gowen Of Philadelphia county were par.
licularly alluded to, and which has been
the cause of this affair. Mr.. Brstton
editor OF that paper, being in the House
at this time, Mr. Lowery went 10 him
and enquired if he was the author Of The
ece. Before he had time to answer,
Mr. McGowen came up very much excl.
ted, and made the same demand. Brat.
ton answered he was. On receiving the
answer, McGowen thrust the paper 10.
wards him and at the same time spit in
his face. BrattOn made s pass at him
with his fist. MCGowen caught I'D a
chair and struck Bratlon over the head.
McGowen then retreated few steps and
drew dirk. Bratton then retreated
behind The Speakers chair McGowsn
pursuing him, attempting 10 strike the
dirk in his body. One stroke took ei.
fec',entering the back par: of his shOuld>
er, when he was arrested by some of
the members, and the diIk then taken
from him.
This affair is under an investigation by
committee of the House. Mr.. Nc.
Gowen has been arrested by the civil
authority, end is now under bail for his
appearance to answer at next Court Of
this place."

Frank $4,000. o. H Davis is perhaps
The greatest loser, not being covered to
any extent by insurance--ten or eleven
horses were burnt, four belonging to Da'
Wis, and the remainder 10 others.
Fortunately, rain had occurred in the
afternoon, SO that the roofs of The houses

submitting to the Senate the following |
predatory remarks:
GENTLEMEN :--As the subject on which
| am called npon to decide has excited
great senSibillty, must solicit the indul'
gence OF the Senate whilst | briefly slste !
the reasons which influence my judg- /
ment.
Permit me to observe that the qiss-
ton TO be decided does not depend sim.
ply upon the right of Congress TO es-
tablish, under any modification. bank,
but upon their power TO establish ma
tiOnal bank as contemplated by this bill.
In other words, can they create a body
polite and corporate, not constituting a
part Of the government, nor otherwise
responsible to il but by forfeiture Of char
ter, and bestow on its members privil.
eyes, immuniles, and exemptions, not
recognised by the laws Of the States,
nor enjoyed by the citizens generally 7
II cannot be doubted that Congress
may pass all necessary and proper laws
for carrying into execution the powers
specifically granted 10 the government
or TO any Office department or thereof; ;but
in doing so, the means mus: be suited
and subordinate TO the end. Tho power
to create corporations is not expressly
granted; it is nigh attribute Of soVer-
eighty, and in its nature not accessorlal
or derivative by implication. but primary
aud independent.
cannot believe that this Interpretation
Of the constitution will, in any degree
defeat the purposes for which il was
formed; on the contrary, it does not ap.
pear to me that the opposite exposition
has an inevitable tendency 10 consolida.
ton, and affords just and serious cause of
alarm.
In the course Of a long life, ,IhavO found
that the government is not to be strength
ened by an assumption OF doubtful! pow
ers, but by wise and energetic execu.
ton Of those which are incontestible;
the former never fails to produce suspi-
cion and distrust, whilst the latter in.
spires respect and confidence.
II, however, after a fair experiment,
the powers vested in the government
shall be found incompetent 10 the at
toinment Of the objects for which il was
instituted, the constitution happily rurn-
ishes the means for remedying the evil
by amendment; and | have no doubt that
in such event, on an appeal TO the pltri- =
otism and good sense of the comuu-
nifty, it will be wisely applied.
will not trepass upon the patience Of
the Senate any longer than to say, from
the best examination have been able 10
give the subject, am constrained by a
sense Of duty to decide in the affirmative
that is. that the first section Of the bill
be stricken out.

BATTLE OF THE THAMES.

Colonel Johnson, in his late address be.

Thames. As historical accounts are so
