SPRINGS, SCHOHARlE COUNTY NEW
YORk.--The public respectfully in sormed Thai
Mr.. Sandon, of the Congress Hall, ALBANY. il as
sociated with Mr. Gardner in the management az
the Pavilion Hotel at Sharon. The house Il nou
open for the reception Of visiters, and pledge is
given TO the public that every effort will be used
and no expense withheld, TO make the Pavilion equal
in all respects to any similar establishment in this
country The beautiful scenery, invigorating noun
tain air. extensive and diversified rides, and its
proximity to Cherry Valley and Cooperstown,
render Sharon most desirable residence for those
in search of pleasure whilst the established efficacy
of the white sulphur spring presents to the suffer-
ing invalid all that can be desired. Physicians of
eminent standing have pronounced the sulphur
waters ofSharon unequalled in this country; and the
thousands that have rcsorted thither in search of
health, after years Of affection will corroborate fully
this medical testimony. These waters have resulted
in the entire restoration of persons laborng under
rheumatism bilious affections, dyspepsia, and every
variety of cuaneous diseases. In order that the
reader may be enabled to form some idea of the real
character Of the white sulphur water at Sharon, an
analysis is given below of this spring, and also of
the celebrated white sulphur in Virginia. Whilst
the former contains 20 5-l2 cubic inches sulphur
cited hydrogen to the gallon, il will be perceived
that the latter contains emily 2.5 cubic inches.

NY N.N

Mr.. CAMERON informed him, that he under-
| stood the usual course was 10 lay similar petitions
| or memorials on the table.
MIR. SEWER, in reply TO the Senator from North
Carolina, (Mr. Mangum,) remarked tha,if the cleo
ton of officers should now be insisted on by Sena-
tors on the other side, he would move an adjourn
ment
! Mr.. MANGUM had no particular objection to
the postponement but had merely suggested wheth-
or u could take place without suspension of the
rule.
Mr., SEWER insisted on his motion to postpone
the execution OF the order until twelve O'Clock
morrow.
Mr.. J. M. CLAYTON understood the subject to
be distnctthe election of committees and the cleo.
ton OF officers. He saw no reason for pos,ponng
the election of officers, although he would have no
objection to postponng the election of the commit
tees. And, therefore, he asked for division of the
question
Mr.. SEWER was understood to say that he had
asked for postponement in order to consultation;
but if the wings desired to push on the business
now, be it so-the democrats were ready for the
fight at any time.
Mr.. ]. M. CLAYTON remarked that it was rule
of the Senate that on this day the election of officers
should take place; and seemed TO him that it was
necessary to proceed under the rule, unless for
good reasons to the contrary and he was free to
sert he had heard none.
The PRESIDENT being about to take the vote
in the negative the question, the affirmative hav-
ing been ascertained,
Mr.. ALLEN inquired whether the chair decided
that the question on the motion could be divided.
The PRESIDENT responded in the affirmative.
Mr.. ALLEN then, would take the opportunity
TO say that he hoped the whole business would be
postponed, or none oft.
Mr.. SEWER moved that the Senate do now ad-
journ; but Withdrew the motion, to enable
Mr.. MANGUM to inquire Of the chair whether
he understood the further consideration of the sub
ject postponed until tomorrow.
The PRESIDENT replied negatively.
Mr.. MANGUM repeated that he had no obec-
ton TO the election tomorrow, except its Irregular
ity.
Mr.. CRITTENDEN said as to the postpone
ment of the election of the committees he left it to
his friends the other side, in the hope that it
would restore harmony among those who had the
chief control But with regard to the election Of
officers, he saw no reason why they should not at
once 60 on.
Mr.. SEWER reHewed his motion to adjourn;
and the question being taken, it was decided in the
| afirmative-ayes 25, noes 81
And the Senate adjourned.

OREGON.
Mr.. BOWLIN gave notice of motion to intro.
duce bill organizing Territorial government in
Oregon Territory, and for other purposes
Various commu nicaons from the departments
were presented to the House, and disposed of by
reference to the appropriate committees.
Mr. PRESTON KING moved that one hundred
copies Of the reasurcrs report be printed for the use
of the department.
Mr. McCLERNAND moved that 10000 extra
copies of the reasurer's communication be printed
for the use ofthe House.
The SPEAKER reminded gentleman that all
motions Of that kind must lie one day on the table,
at least
Mr.. McCLELLAND objected to the motion Of
the gentleman from Illinois.
Mr.. McCLERNAND sustained his motion in
brief terms
MIR c. J. INGERSoLL moved to refer the re-
port of the Secretary Of War TO the Committee on
Foreign Affairs.
The Clerk having presented, from the Treasury
Department, a statement of duties received for the
two last quarters ending December 1, lS45,
Mr.. PRESTON KING observed that previously
il was usual for such statements TO be made out
from the first Of July TO the first of July but that
the present being statement relative to The two
last quarters--rom the first of July to the first Of
December--and affording no data for comparison,
no would therefore oppose the printing.
A report from the Secretary of War was then
presented.
On motion Of Mr.. Mckay, il was referred TO
the Committee Of Ways and Means.
THE FLORIDA ELECTION
Mr.. HUNTER arose to a question Of privilege.
He submitted 10 the House the memorial of Mr.,
BRocxHNBRoueH, in which it was set forth'that he
was duly elected member for that State, by ma
jority Of votes. He would propose the following
resolution;
Resoived, That the said memorial be referred to the
Committee OF Elections with instructions TO report whether
the petitioner entitled 10 have been returned and
commissioned member OF the House OF Representatives
the 10th Congress from the Of Florida At the time
when EDWARD c. CABtLI received the commsson and as
thereafter they have examined the question whether
the said petitioner not elected by majority Of legally
qualified voters Of the State Of FLORIDA member Of the
House Of in the 10Th Congress- according "a
the laws Of the state which provide for that purpose
Mr.. HAMLIN said he was opposed TO the reso-
The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-12-08

injudicous. He did not know that that officer had
examined the subject; most likely he took the re-
turns heller skelter, just they came at the time.
It might be that Mr.. Cabell had majority of votes
within 80 days If disposed to say that the en-
tire majority of votes given would entle to the
seat, he must say that Mr.. B. was returned. But
the gentleman disregarded the law, in calculating
the votes returned within 80 days, and then refused
to account for those returned after, on the ground
that the law of Florida prohibited the reception Of
votes after that time II the law had been adhered
to, as it ought to have been, by counting the votes
returned, Brockenbrough was the member returned.
But the secretary of state had neither adhered to-
nor departed from, it altogether. He would show
his friend from Florida that he did not make up his
opinion without examination He had referred to
the facts, not for the purpose of deciding, but to
show that two distinct questions were raised by the
facts one as to the return the other as to the cleo
ton. lie referred to them for no other PURPOSE
IL was for the House to decide. He referred to
them to show that two distinct questions came be-
fore the committee and that that of the return cam,
hrst IN order He hoped his friend from Illinois
agreed with him in this matter. He wished the
House to understand that the importance Of the
question was seen from the fact that the contest
for the seat in this case might go on for three
months. Was it not, then, he would ask, import
ant that the simple question of return should be de-
clded, no that the man entitled should be on the
noor II was important to decide who was entitled,
primo tdcis to the seat. II might be important to
know who was sitting in that House in the mean
time. To him there appeared no difficulty about
the m alter.
MIR. SCHENCK would not trouble the House
with any very heightened remarks. He made no
prefsnsioDs to knowledge of preoeden,s, or the
usf lge IN such cases as that before the House. In
tn at respect other gentlemen had greatly the advan-
h.ge over him. He had, in fact, only little sma,-
'hring of information on the subject, derived from
his acquaintance with the laws and constitution OF
his own State. 1t appeared TO him that, in institu.
ting such inquiries as contemplated by the res
oluuon, they would be escaping entirely from the
proper question before the House; which, il appear
ed to him, was not TO be determined on as a preim-
mary question He was somewhat surprised to
hear gentlemen, in the course Of the discussion
maintaining the position that, although the issues
presented by these instructions will be inquired into
and decided upon by the Committee Of Elections
follows, as matter Of course, that both issues
will be decided in the same direction. He did no,
SO understand the question. He maintained that
these issues might be differently and adversely de-
cided. He believed that the officer who makes re
turns, and who furnishes the certificate to those
claiming TO have been elected in the different States
acted merely ministerial officers; and that often
