CONGRESS

TEXAs.-What has been the result @
this matter in Congress it is difficult to con
lecture; at our latest dates the debate wa.
going on in the Senlte. Letter writer's differ
much in opinion with regard to its passage
One thing appears TO be pretty generally
conceded, that The resolutions which passed
the House will no: become law. Benton's
bill, it is thought will be the one if any is
adopted. This bill it is said has the colin.
tenance of the new President and II is de.
CARED from source which may be relied
on, that Andrew jackson has expressly de-
clared his approval of it. Sias Wright is
also sad 10 sanction il. 1t seems to have
united the Democracy, and we think it is
altogether probable That it was passed be.
fore the close of the session. We should
not be surprised though if Tyler vetoed i, il
it did pass. 1t is not the measure off adj
ministration by any means. 1t is rather
the shadow Of the coming one and we doub,
whether his petty mind, can recognize any
public good, where his own glory is moi
ministcred to.
The PosTAGE REFORM BILL This bill
will in all prob ,biity be lost. There is n
want Of unanimity with regard to it which
looks bad, and it will be little less than O
miracle if it does pass.
The Civil and Diplomatic appropriation
bill has passed the House. We are no,
aware that any material alteration OF
amendment was made in the bill.
OF our harbor, lighthouse, and road bill
we hear nothing since it went into the Sc.
nate. We by no means anticipate that eli.
Their Of them will be lost, but we expec
that they will be among the very last mat
ters acted upon, and that we shall not ge
news of them for some days yet.
We are not aware Of any other yer,
important business before Congress. Tn
der date Of Feb. goth the N. Y. Morning
News says:
The President furnished several yer,
important communications TO Congress L
day. One sent to sent to the Senate wa.
in reply to resolution asking for cope
Of all instructions given to our Ministe
at London, in relation TO the negotiation
now pending between that Government am
the United States on the subject Of the Or
egon territory. He declined 10 compl,
with the resolution Of the Senate, on tn
ground that it would not be proper to do s.
in the present position Of affairs but h
assures the Senate that they are in a yer,
favorable condition as TO the rights oil thi
country IN that territory.
To the House he sent a message, accom-
panied by some vollminous communion
tons from Mr.. Wise, our Minister to Brazil
on the subject Of the Infamous trade i
slaves by citizens Of the United States an
British subjects.

MISSISSIPPI MARINE AND FIRE IhsU

MISSISSIPPI MARINE AND FIRE IhsU-
RACINE CoMPANY.-Thc Legislature of this
Territory at lis recent session repealed the
charter of this institution. The Mississippi
Marine and Fire Insurance Company, was
located by an act of the legislature at SIM
pee, Grant county; it was Incorporated with
powers very similar 10 the Wisconsin Ma
rine and Fire Insurance Company at NIL
waukle, and was originally placed pretty
much upon the same footing as the latter.
This Mississippi concern, has issued drafts
or checks bearing resemblance TO those
issued by The concern at Milwaukee. and
also payable at Chicago, as are the Mwau-
kee drafts. From an investigation had be-
tore committee in the legislature, it ap-
pears that this institution has no funds de-
posted at Slnipee, or elsewhere in the Ter
r''ory, TO meet IFS liabilities, yet its officers
during the past year have been in the prac.
tice of nsuring drafts, in the form and adj
pearance OF bank bills, in sums of from one
10 FIVE dollars. This currency it appears
has obtained considerable circulation in
some parts Of the west. The charter of,bis
institution was never intended TO allow
banking prlvlieges:-the same may be said
of the institution at Milwaukee.
The committee in the House 10 whom
this subject was referred, reported that the
Mississippi Marine and Fire Insurance Com.
pany, had clearly violated its charter; and
as 10 the matter whether such violation
should be determined by judicial inves,i.
CATION or otherwise, the committee saw

TIE NFw HAVEN MURDER.-Pot.cr
has made e full confession Of his guilt at
last He had previously made, as we have
seen, two contradictory statements, one
duplicating the negro Mcclure, and The
other, two boys named BecCher and Sage,
all of whom were arrested, the two last
greatly TO the establishment and horror Of
their parents. On the evening Of the 9th,
however, he retracted these infamous state
mcnts, declaring that he could not eat.
drink or sleep, while these innocent per-
sons were confined upon his charge. and
until he hao unburdened himself Of tho
who c truth. He sent for the Grand Juror,
and 10 him, in presence of the jailor and
some other persons, made full confession.
He said tina, he alone planned the crime,
some five or SIX weeks before, and had
never ispcd it to any one that breathed
1t seems tina; he made an appointment with
Osborn to meet him on Sunday night at
the railroad bridge. Upon that night, he
obtained the pike pole with which the deed
was committed, and went TO to the place
appointed. He found Osb IN there, and
they proceeded together along the track.
Osburd presently noticed tho yike-pole
which Potter hac on his right shou der, in
curing where he got it, and said-"You
ain' I" going ,"-kili any BODY, ore youP,
Potter replied that he had picked j, W, and
intended to carry it home lie then al.
lowed Osborn to get n step or two in adj
vance, Potter being at his right hand. when
no brought the pike pole round with full
force, and telled his victim 10 the earth.
tie repeated the blow again, striking und
staoolng Osborn on the head as be lay upon
the ground: Having searched the pockets.
where he found nothing of valve, he pro-
ceeded down the bank, and threw the nola
Into the river.
Being hsked by the Grand Juror WIN,
motives he had in accusing others falsely
he said that he had done it in the hone. Nv
this means, to escape the extreme psna,,y
OF The law. The colored man and the two
boys were set at liberty immediately.

The Wings prove wonderful patriots since
election. Now is the time for Mr.. Polk to
crush the monster party, by retaining all The
Wings and worse than Wings, Tyler men,
i'll office, say they. Those who calculate
upon such result, we imagine don't yet
know who Mr.. Polk is. The only monster
party that he will deserve TO crush, will be
the monster wing party fe1 we much mis-.
take his character, il from any affected gen.
crosby he leaves the sinews of opposition
in the hands of the opponents Of the princi-
pies of tho people. We have no idea tina,
the same indecent haste in removal and the
same want Of discrimination in appointment
will characterize his administration as did
the administration Of Harrison four wears
ago. We believe Mr.. Polk, whilst the re-
moval of wings will be certain, will yet take
such time 10 do it as will enable him 10 fill
the Offices with at least as good men. Re.
movals will not be made TO punish men for
an honest difference of opinion; no appon,-
ments made TO reward par,sans for zeal in
his service; i, will be done that the weap.
ons of the people may not be turned against
themselves--that The strength oqthe admin
lstrat'on may be used in the support of the
measures, which the people have declared
they wish 10 see sustained; and as this will
be the motive, care will be taken 10 selec,
good men, as otherwise the motive coule
| not be carried out and sustained.

and counsels. Whatever may be the state
Of political parties in our county hereafter.
I is to DO hoped that our Representatives
will always be entirely Of one or other of
those parties, and not be composed Of a
part Of each; for so long as we are divided
at home, and whenever we may send d.
vided delegation 10 legislate for us,we may
certainly rely upon j, that those divis. IONS
will be taken advantage of to our damage.
As all individual, my feelings would of
course prompt me to desire the continued
ascendancy of the Democratic party in our
comfy and in the Territory, but | do not
wish 10 see Milwaukee represented by a
delegation composed Of half wings and
half democrats, but would prefer, if we
must at any time be defeated in part, TO
be defeated in whole, leaving the response
biIity OF united action with our opponents,
until the sober second thought of pu1llc
sentiment should otherwise decree.
This is singular acknowledgment. Ii
seems that even party principles are secon-
dairy to Milwaukee interests, and it is better
that all should be Wings than there should
be any lack ol unanimity on the part of the
Milwaukee delegation in promoting the
interest of their town.
We think those who are not preiudiced
will see from Mr.. Kilbourn's commun;-
cation, that the prejudice is all on his side,
and those men whom he censures deserve
well Of the people flhe territory because ii
is for their interests they acted.

A matter of fact can as well be established
