ELECTION OF A SENATOR.

We had another exhibition OF genuine Locofocosm, In
the House Of Delegates, Saturday evening.
Alter the regular business OF the day disposed Of
Mr. Broadas offered resolution. Designating next Friday
for the election Of u. Status Senator. This proposition
although leading Democrats knew early the day that
would be offered, excited violent outcry. and from
rious quarters, IL denounced q surpuse-a ,sAY

their mpotsnt fury, and made udcrous spectsces
vi themselves the Wings, who seemed determined to
dure patiently the opourngs Of Locooco wrath, adopted
the Resolution, fixing next Friday for the election.
Then by way OF pfe,er for foregone conelusou-(the
defest Of election of Senaior) proposition
started from the Locofoco side, touching the eligibility Of
the Delegate from WOOD. These wise gentlemen conceive
that because members is contested the fimses,

seven session Of 81 hours the House adjourned.
The Democrats affected believe that the Wings
wished lake ad, OF them in naming day for the
election of Senator. Now, from pretty accurate &c
quainance with the designs and wishes OF the Wings, We
take upon ourselves there justice in the i'm
puAtion. The Wings sincerely desire the election Of a
Senator-and OF Senator too who accords in opinion
with the majority of the General Assembly. But they
will do nothing unfair accomplish desirable result
and they would dsdan profit by the sickness absence

understand there are two Democrats ut least, who
occupy seats by tltls much more questionable than
Mr.. Jackson does.

IA PASSAGE IN THE LIFE OF LAFITTE
by JAMES REEs.

CHAPTER THE pIRATE's HOME.
The island Of Barrataria IS associated
finhistory with the name Of Laftte. It
was the scene ofmany Of his murders,
and the rendezvous of his desperate
crew and their wonderful chief, 1twhs
also the mart for the sale of negroes,
whom he had kidnapped from planta-
tions, or wrested from slave ships by the
strong hand Of power Its distance from
New Orleans is about fifty-tive miles,
which gave Lafitte numerous facilities,
notonly. for the purposes Of trade, but
the means of escape in case of danger.
From this point he directed his men;sit
was here he issued his orders, which
carried dcath and destruction with
them, andhere he organised his plans
and disciplined his numerous spies.
Not a vessel er]eft the leyee of New
Orleans but was subject to the closest
scrutiny ofhis emisaries, who, ever bold
! and trustworthy, seldom, il ever, failed
in their means'ofob obtaining information.
It's said, and from the writer's lSnowl-
edge justly too, thai there are those liy-
ing who amassed Iordly wealth through
the agency Of Laftte; they are pointed
out to the stranger as they roll through
the streets Of New Orleans in their o.
quipages, attended by their liveried
