1t should be noted that Virginia about which the
most doubt hangs, has not elected Senator to ill
Mr. Rves' place after the 4th Of March, next, though
the Legislature elect is Wing by a small majority
We have observed that one member elected as
Wing has left Mr. Clay because he opposed the an
nexation of Texas and joined the Polk Party, and
others may have done so. So the election of
Wing must be considered prrl,lematical. And fur
Their, since the South have gone strongly for Polk
some Of our Southern Wings may be instruct
ed out Of their seats opinions The Annexation of
Texas, think, is rendered by the result of the
lection, quite probable. We know of no Northern
Polk Senators who will be likely to oppose ii, and
while tho people oftho North refuse to vote against
the project il is presuming too much to expect the
South 10 oppose il. Further Southern Wing Senators
will be instructed to go for it by Polk Legislatures s.
it is known that whose States evidently FOR
il went against il at the last session through the nhu-
ence of Mr. Clay's opposition to it. That influence

Wings joined the Wings in the N. York election in
opposition TO Annexation If not two Anti-Anncxa-

Anti Annexation President. Upon whom will rest the
responsibility Of this act, il il shall be consummated?

Frozen TO DEATH. We learn from Canaan,
town about 60 miles North Of us in this State, that
during the snow storm which occurred about two
weeks since two men of the name Of James were
frozen to death, They went out on hunting ex-
curson to be absent three days Not returning in
this time and having been absent five days their
friends went in pursuit of them and found them with
in about half n mile of home, dead. One was some
80 rods nearer home than the other, and il appa-
rent that he had nude efforts to carry and aid his fell
low on the way homo; the marks in the snow show
ing this and how he had fallen with him in this eff
fort,-when finally he left him and able himself
to proceed only about fifty rods further. Their rifles
which they had with them had percussion locks, con-
sequenty they could not strike up fire, and proba
bly, persisted from cold though perhaps weakened
somewhat by hunger. The snow in Canaan was two
feet deep.

same game no doubt played in other parts Of this

informed Of the following facts:-A leading Polk
tie in Orleans County, who deals in sleeps pelts
had agent out making purchases at the time the
result of the election in Pennsylvania was made
known fere whichas all know, looked rather Polky.
Well said the man, Polk will be elected-p elts will
fall, and he actually despatched messenger off to
inform his pelt-buyer not to give much by a six
pence apiece. Now what is the inference? This
