By reference to our advertising columns
a notice will be found Of a Supper to be
given at the Odd Fellows Hall on the
Eve Of Christmas. The entertainment
has been got up, as we understand, exclu-
sively by the young ladies Of the city;
and the profits are to be appropriated to
the benefit of the poor. A more worthy
object could not be engaged in. A more
suitable time could not have been selected.
There is more suffering amongst us at this
moment than there has been since the first
settlement Of the place. Many worthy
and excellent families are actually suffer-
ing for food and raiment. 1t is the inten-
tion Of the ladies engaged in the present
undertaking to relieve this--aaEa-;---
and we rejoice to have
it in our power to state that they have been
generously encouraged in their plan.
There is scarcely male or female at all
able, but has given something. The sup
per will be largely attended and the result
permanent. The ladies deserve great
credit for their exertions, and to them and
to all, we conclude with the quotation
from holy writ-"Cast thy bread upon the
waters, and thou shalt find it after MANY
days."

Congress.

We haze received WsshlnetOn papers
containing the first four days proceedings
of Congress, but can find but little in them
worth extracting. This, it is known, is
the second session Of the twenty-eight Con-
gress; and its organization, therefore, Is
devoid Of that interest which usually at
taches to the meeting at the FIRST session,
when Speaker, Clerk, Sc. are to be elect
ed.
The most important move made in either
branch, is the resembling, BY the House, on
the second day Of the session, Of the 5th
rule, excluding the reception Of abolition
petitions. The vote on the motion to re.
scind was lO7 in favor and 80 against.
On the same day Mr.. J. r. INcERsoLI
gave notice Of his intention to introduce !
bill to amend the naturalization laws. The
crusade against our foreign born population
has therefore been commenced; and al
who happen to have been born elsewhere
than in the United States are to be pursued
BY modern whiggery with bitterness ever
SURPRISING that which was manifested TO-
wards them by the federalists Of '98.
Mr.. DuscAs gave notice Of his inten
ton to bring in bill at an early day
extending the jurisdiction Of the Unitet
States over the Territory Of Oregon.
In the Senate, on the. 9Th, Mr.. BENros
introduced resolution, which was passed
calling for copy Of all the proceeding
in the case Of the inquiry into the officia
conduct Of SrLAs REED, Surveyor Gen,
oeral of Illinois and Missuri.

The visit of Mr.. Polk to the Hermitage,
some two or three weeks since, has been
noticed in another column. He subsc-
quently visited Nashville, and from his
friends in that city met with most warm
and cordial greeting. A congratulatory
address was delivered by Ex-senator Mich
olson, to which Mr.. Polk replied as fol
lows:
l return to you, sir, and to my fellow
citizens whose organ you are, my sincere
and unfeigned thanks for this manifestation
Of the popular regard and confidence, and
for the congratulations which you have
been pleased to express to me, upon the
termination and result Of the late political
contest. ! am fully sensible, that these
congratulations are not, and cannot be per-
sonal to myself. 1t is the eminent success
Of our common principles which has spread
such general joy over the land. The po-
litical struggle through which the country
has just passed has been deeply exciting.
Extraordinary causes have existed to axe
it so. 1t has terminated-it is now over
and sincerely hope and believe, has
been decided BY the sober and settled iud. :
ment Of the American people.
In exchanging mutual congratulations
with each other upon the result Of the late
election, the Democratic party should re-
member, in calmly reviewing the contest,
that the portion Of our fellow citizens who
have differed with US in opinion have equal
political rights with ourselves; that minor
tiles as well as majorities are entitled to
the full and free exercise Of their opinions
and judgments, and that the rights of all,
whether minorities or maiorities, as such,
are entitled to equal respest and regard.
In rejoicing, therefore, over the success
OF the Democratic party, and Of their prin-
ciples, in the late election, it should be in
no spirit Of exultation over the defeat of
our opponents; but it should be because,
as we honestly believe, our principles and
policy are better calculated than theirs to
promote the true interests OF the whole
country.
] In the position in which have been
placed, BY the voluntary and unsought suf-
frages Of my citizens, it will become
my duty, as it will be my pleasure, faith
fully and truly to represent, in the Execu-
tive department Of the government, the
principles and policy Of the great party Of
the country who have elevated me to it;
but at the same time, it is proper that
should declare, that shall not regard my
self as the representative of party only,
but of the whole people of the United
States; and, | trust, that the future policy
Of the government may be such, as to Sc
cure the happiness and prosperity OF ALL,
without distinction of party.

- Gen. Jackson, feeble and debilitated
as he is, attended the polls in his precinct
at the late election, and cast his ballot
probably the last vote he will ever give
for the Polk and Dallas electors. The
Nashville Union says he expressed great
desire to live long enough to be able to
give that vote; and having been favored
in this wish, with the additional pleasure
impaired by the certainty Of the success oi
the patriots for whom he voted, he now
waits patiently and submissively the great
summons which shall call him hence.

exclusion Of almost everything else. Hav-
ing no room for comment, we leave it to

Hon. Amos kendall.

In his last Expositor, this veteran demo

from the editorial chair. None has labored
more faithfully and fearlessly in support d

served his country in bringing about lie
triumph Of the democracy, is we fear, his
only reward for years Of toll and anxiety,
In commencing his new occupation, B.,

stantly aud faithfully to the agency busi-

$50 far in life, we have served Cur

proach Of old age admonishes us that W
