THE DisrRIcrSG LAw.-The persons elected 10
Congress by general ticket in the States of New
Hampshire, Georgia, Mississippi and Missouri,
have been permitted participate in all the doings
of the House Of Representatives at its present
sion And the committee on elections, in their late
report on The subject, propose to satisfy the claim
of these pre,enders TO seats, by formal action of the
House. We can hardly conceive Of holder out
rage than is thus contemplated; nor precedent
fraught with drer mischief TO the sacred insiiiu-
tons of our Republic. That these members were
returned in violation Of solemn enactment OF
Congress- admits of no dispute II is equally clear
that Congress did not transcend its powers in pass
ing the act. The Constitution distinctly says:
"The time, place and mASsER of holding elections
for Senators and Representatives shall be prescri-
bed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but
Congress can at any time MAKE or alter sneh regu-
iatioRs, except To the place of choosing Sena-
tors" Can any thing be definite and clear
than this provision Yet because il happens 10
stand in the way OF the locofoco majority in the
House, both Constitution and laws are to be tram
pied in the dust!
We are glad TO learn that the Wing minority of
the committee on elections have presented coun-
ter report, recommending the exclusion of the indi-
viduals aforesaid, who were chosen by general
ticket. Though their report should receive no
more attention from domneering majority than
did the protest drawn up al the commencement Of
the session, yet the members presenting il feel
the proud satisfaction Of having done all in their
power to avert the disgrace of successful nuHi6ea-
lion.

MIA and a one day election would shorten the
time of anxiety, as well as prevent the result in

The Cold Weather in Canada I'M
derstand that the cold weather was intensely
felt at Montreal and Quebec. II has far
exceeded the rigors of their severest win
tiers. The cold spell lasted from eight TO
ten days, and during that time the range Of
the thermometers was from l6 TO 81 degrees
below zero! Here, l6 degrees has been
the point Of intensest cold, and there, it was
the warmest weather they had. This will
give some idea of the awful severity Of the
weather
The Canadians are used TO very cold win
tiers, but the steady aud long continued Sc
verify of the late cold weather made them
more sensible of the rgors of their climate
The distress among the poor at Montreal
and Quebec, is represented as frightfuI. 1t
was so intensely cold that the farmers in the
vicinity would not venture out, to bring
wood to market. This, as was to be antici-
pated, where they had been in the habit of
receiving daily supplies, not only raised the
price, but also caused an absolute scarcity.
In the extremity of their sufferings, the
lHinerUe--the French paper at Montreal,
and which is particularly conversant with
the condition of the French Canadians--
says that tables, chairs, and even their bed
steads, were cut up for fire wood.-Ai6dny

BREAKING UP OF NEST OF GAMBLERS IN
WoDURN.-A lew nights ago Mr.. Deputy
Sheriff Choate, of Woburn, with about
twenty ofthe citizens, repaired to the "lIorn
Pond House." in that town, and took into
custody seven gamblers, with their impe-
ments Of gaming, consisting of trenty-three
'fghting cocks" valued by their oDner, at
about fifteen hundred dollars The Sheriff
said it was his duty to destroy the impe-
ments of gaming, and he accordingly de-
cdpitated all the fighting cocks, in presence
of goodly number of the citizens Of Wo-
burn. The owner of the cocks resides in
Boston, and is eighty-seven gears old. lie
says he has followed the business of cock
fighting, for ftfy years. He pleaded as for
his life, that his poor cocks might be spared
but the sheriff was memorable.
The heads Of the cocks have been pre-
served, in order that they may be present as
witnesseS against the venerable gambler,
whose trial together with that Of the Horn
Pond House," and five others, who are un-
der bonds for their appearance at court, will
come on in few days Many more of the
gamblers would have been taken, but that
they extinguished the lights, and in the
darkness made good their retreat Several
of them, however, are known, and will be
dealt with according to law.-Buaker Hill

The Harrisburg PENN Intelligencer
holds the following cheering language con-
corning Pennsylvania, and such in fact is
tke good word from almost every State in
the Union.
g"Cheering Prospect Ahead If there be
asing!e Wing throughout the length and
breadth of the Commonwealth, who fears
the issues Of the contests in October and
November, so far as regards PENNSYLVANIA,
.ye know of no better way to aiay his
doubts than by pointing to the spirit of
union, harmony, zeal, energy and determi-
nation that pervade our ranks, and the dis
traction, disunion and dismay that reigns in
the ranks of our opponents. Who that
takes time to contrast the situation Of the
rival parties can doubt the result. What
earthly power can stay the torrent of public
opinion that is bent upon the. destruction Of
every vestige of Loco Focoism within our
borders? v
The Wings are every where IN notion
They are enlisting for the contest They are
Furnishing their armor and furnishing their
arms for the coming strife. Nothing that a
wise forethought deems prudent to he accom-
plshed has been left undone. The glorious
flag of "Harry of the West" is every where
hailed with enthusiasm Young and old
grave and gay--eyen the gentle and the
lovely, are uniting to place in his hands the
nations guidance. Judging of the future
from the evidences of the past we are per-
fectly convinced that nothing but his physi-
cal dissolution will prevent Henry Clay
from being the next President The issue
of the ensuing contest is no longer doubtful.
We care not who may be the opposing can
didate--Van Buren,, Johnson, Cass, Cal
houn, Tyler, or all together--it will not
change the fat that has already gone forth
that Henry Clay is to be the next President
Of the United States.

| At Loco Foco Convention recently held
in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, friend OF
Mr. Cass moved resolution to the follow
ing effect .--"Whereas, Gen. Lewis Cass
emiorated TO the West from New Hamp-
shire in early life with his knapsack on his
back, and unsheathed his sword in repeling
the Indians from our Northwest frontier,
and in fighting against the British during
the last war: Therefore, resolved, That he
ough, to be supported by the Democratic
party for the President Of the United States"
A brother Loco Foco moved to amend the
resolution by striking out the name OF
Lewis Cass," aud inserting the name Of
"Martin Van Buren," which motion, after
an animated discussion, prevailed. Some
one called for the reading Of the resolution
as amended whereupon, the Secretary, in
loud voice, commenced reading-"Where-
as, General Martin Van Buren, emigrated to
the West from New Hampshire in early life
with his knapsack on his back, aud un-
sheaihed his sword in rfpeiiing the indians
and fighting against the British" BY
the time the Secretary had got thus far, the
absurdi,y of the thing became SO manifest,
that the same Loco Foco who moved the
amendment sprang 10 his feet, exclaming,
"tut, TIT, tut, MIR. Chairman, that'll never
do move to lay the affair on the table,"
and there it was laid accordingly.
L0mcntdble Occurrence. - On Saturday
morning last, Mr. Albert Hayden, one of
the drivers on the Plymouth aud Boston
Line of stages, left Plymouth at the usual
hour. About half mile beyond the Scitu-
ate halfway house, he stopped his team and
got Off the coach. Two lady passengers in
the coach supposed he dismounted to adjust
harness or something Of the kind, and
they therefore remained some ten minutes,
when wondering what could be the trouble,
they looked out of the coach, aud saw Hay
den lying upon the ground between the
wheel horses and the leaders. They then
got out, aud perceiving that he was notion
less. one Of the ladies stood by the horses,
while the other went back for assistance
1t was procured, and Hayden was put into
the coach, and carried TO the house of Gran
vile Gardner, Esq, agent for the stage pro-
pretors, where DR.. Underwood Of bingham
was called in, and he decided that Hayden
had suffered shock of the palsy. One en-
tire half of his body, head and limbs, is pal
sled, we understand, and he now remains in
a very feeble state, though sensible. In re-
ply TO questions put TO him, it is learned
that he got off from the coach because he
felt sick. When taken up, he still had hold
of the reins. 1t is not a little remarkable
that the horses stood perfectly quiet nearly
half an hour while Hayden was extended
upon the snow between the leaders and the
wheel horses. Had they run, the horses
and carriage must have passedover the dri-
yer. Mr.. Hayden commands much respect
from the travelling public, to whom he was
generally known, and by whom much SYM
Pathy is felt for his situation.--Piymouth

AMPuTATIoN OF A LIMB.

II ne editor oil the Bangor courier gives
an account Of a surgical operation in that
city, which he witnessed on Saturday-the
patient having been previously thrown into
the magnetic sleep by DR.. Dcare. The OPP
Grafton was the painful one of dmputdting
leg-and was performed by DR.. Hosea
Rich, assisted by several other gentlemen,
upon Luther Carey, whose leg, from infancy
had been deformed, and had caused much
pain and inconvenience. The editor Of the
Courier says:
"During the operation the patient COM
plained of sensation in the bottom of his
fvv,, as rnougn some one was pricking 1t,
and at one time, for a brief period, appear
ed to be rousing from the magnetic state,
and half conscious, by suspicion at least,
that the operation had commenced, and at
this time there was quite struggle and
much muscular action, but he was soon
thrown more fully into the magnetic state,
and was then quite unconscious of what
was going on; entering into conversation
respecting the operation, and proposing that
il be postponed to the next week, &c, end
insisting, even after the leg was amputated,
that he would not have it done until il was
fully paralyzed, at the same time expressing
some doubt whether the Doctor would be
able TO accomplish this After the opera
ton had been performed, and the limb
dressed, Mr.. Carey was placed in bed, being
still in the magnetic state, and was induced
10 sing. His aged. widowed mother was
called, and entered the room just as he was
singing with much zeal, which greatly af-
iected the aged woman, and she burst into
tears. Mr.. Carey was now taken ont of the
magnetic sleep, and on rousing up appeared
quite startled on seeing so mnch company
present; and, speaking to his sister and
TO his mother, shade of sadness passed
over his countenance, as he told them he
had postponed having the operation perform
ed until the Doctor should be more success
ful in paralyzing his leg. A passing smile
over their countenances led him to suspect
there might be something in the wind, and
II then occurred to him that he was in bed
aad in attempting TO rise, he was cautioned
not to do it, upon which he remarked, that
perhaps his leg was off, as he was placed in
bed. Upon being assured Of the fact, he in
great glee cried out. Good am glad the
old leg is OFF, He then stated that the on
iy sensation he had experienced was like
that Of some enc pricking the bottom of his
foot"
