During the present session of Congress. a

been permitted to occupy a niche in the lobby

%iS|ators Of the land and the strangers visiting The

Day by day. during the session Of Congress.
this wurthv salesman has been found late and
carly at his post, until Friday last, when his
desk was found closed, aud in place Of the pro.
prietor, a mourning weed from one of the

Upon en1niring for the poor deformed, it was
ascertajned that he had last his father, and tina,
having no other place Of business, he had hung
the mourning token to his book case, and gone
out to vent his sorrow to the barren woods and
the silent streams. How touching this simple
tribute aDpears-mu,e, yet eloquent. While
the members Of Congress, loaded with honors
and wept BY a nations eve goes with funera
pomp to his long home, the poor deformed hangs
his token OF affection upon The wall or the YES

ELECTION FRAUDs.-On the last day of
the session of Congress, Mr.. Berrien made a
Report in the Senate, from the Judiciary
Committee, relative to the frauds perpe,rated
through the Naturalization Laws at the late
Election. A motion was made to print 5000
extra copies, at which the Loco Focos took
to defeat the motion by moving to lay it up
on the table, and erery man Of them rallied
to the rork, hut they failed. The motion
to print was carried by a vote of "a TO 22-
ecery Loco F'Oeo Senator present VOTING
AGAINST IT! They do not want the
People to see the evidence Of the frauds they
perpelrated upon the ballot-box in the cleo,
ton of Mr.. Polk.

NOMINATIONS LosT.-The National In
telligencer says: The Senate held no Exc

number of nominations to Office, made by the
late President, remaining Enacted upon a,

ground. Among them was the nomination
10 the much coveted appointment of Consu

THE END.-In consideration Of the fragrant
ontrages ommi'to against the peace and Dig
nifty of that State, in the person Of its ambassa-
dor, Mr. Hoar, b" the people Of South Carolina,
the Legislature Of Massachusetts has decided 10
adrpt-a written protest! Whether this paper
bullet will make Massachusetts negroes citi-
zcns Of South Carolina, or friehtcn the latter
State out of existence, is a matter not involving
very serious doubts And this long-windcd
report is the end Of Massachusetts, buster about
her "frec and equal" colored gentry.-SI. LoGis
Reporter.
That Massachusetts adopts only a "pro-
test" is proof of her forbearanco. South
Carolina has claimed and exercised the
power Of driving from her soil a venerable
and peaceful citizen Of Massachusetts, who
visited Charleston for no other purpose than
to test quietly the consiintionality of one OF
her laws affecting the rights and interests Of
Massachusetts. Massachusetts might, in re-
turn, cxpel from her borders every citizen OF
South Carolina. would have no more means
Of obtaining redress for that outrage than
Massachusetts has for obtaining redress for
the outrage committed on Mr.. Iloar. She
prefers a pcaceablc remonstrancc. Patrio,-
Ism and not revengeis the guide Of her coun-
ellis. Parlisans may sheer at her, but patriots
applaud her conduct.

DAN MARBLE IN IRELAND.-We see, by the

tract the following from the Cork Examiner:

Mr.. Marble was essentially remarkable for lis
truthfulness. 1t was not the putting on of a
character or the assumption of peculiar traits IN

DIVISION OF WISCONSIN TERRIToRY.-
The Milwaukee Sentinel is advocating "A di-
vision of the Territory into two separate
Territories. The dividing line to run as
follows: Commencing on the Mississippi, at
Prairie La Croix thence in a direct north
eastern line to the mouth of the Menomince
river, on Green Bay thence north, along
the Menominec and Montreal rivers, to lake
Superior, and embracing from that line north
ward all the territory now under the jurisdic-
ton of Wisconsin. The new Territory it is
proposed to call Superior Territory. 1t
would embrace an area of about so 600
square miles, Astounding in valuable lead and
copper mines-counllcss q%uarrics Of gypsum
and valuable building stone immense for
ests of choicest timber-a rich aad prolific
soil, Of prairie and woodland, %interspersed
with small navieable rivers and streams, for
hydraulic purposes; and all the required re-
sources necessary for the growth and pros
perily OF a magnificent State. Along the
western banks OF the new territory, the
Mississippi is navigable to ST. Peters, within
six miles of the Falls Of st. Anthony. Pass
ing above the Falls, the river is said to be
navigable for a smaller class of boats, for a
distance of from eigh, hundred TO a Thousand
miles, to near its sources. This territory
has also five rivers which are susceptible o
navigation many miles in the interior. The
Chippewa and the st. Crox can readily be
assembled with steamboats, fifty miles, 10 th'

PERsEvERE.-This is the great secret Of
success in every undertaking. Perseverance,
is the magic key which unlocks the gates to
honor, renown, happiness, and wealth.
Many instances of u%nlirlng perseverance
have been noticed among animals and men |;
but we believe the following instance on the
part of woman, goes ahead Of anything we
ever heard of IN the persevering way:-
Some years ago n woman lived in n village in
Glamorganshire, whose husband with the little fortune
he had GOT with her bought a small farm. He had
hardly closed the purchase, when death closed his
eyes. However, not inimi lated by this, the widow
married a second hus' and. who sowed II. lie like
wise died, and she tried a third, who Teaped it, But
death soon snatched him away, and she married a

TEXAS NOW-THE TARIFF NEXT.


Let those Northern men, who have pro-
fessed to be great friends of the Tariff, and
who have yet aided in the Annexation Of
Texas-and those other Northern Tariff men
who have disregarded the morality of the
question, turned a cold shoulder upon the
Annexation Of Texas, and enquired only
how it was likely to affect "ow business

Moro"gh-going anti I'orif men will.
probably, take their seats in the u. S. Sem

new Loco Foco members will, also, be added

of "Repeal" is already loudly sounded, in
