A member of Congress has addressed us a note,
this evening, stating that he was satisfied that Santa

victorious or that he has suffered the penalty of his
boldness; and also that the Mexico-Texan army
will never reach the Rio Grande, and if they do,
will not fight our army

CONNECTICUT ELEcuos.-The Hartford Times Of
last evening contains the result Of the election in all
the towns Of the state, excepting seven, and conf
IDENTIFY expresses the opinion that the legislature
will be democratic The democratic candidates for
state officers WILL in that case, certainly be elected
But we will quote the enthusiastic language OF the
Times-lt says
LEGISLATURE AND STATE TICKET sAFE.-lt Is with
feelings Of pleasure that announce TO our friends
abroad the result Of the election in this State on
Monday. The people have met the measures OF The
wings, though the wings themselves skulked from
the issues, and played, far they could, double
game.
The election for State officers and the legisla-
ture. There is no choice Of State officers by the
people, but both houses Of the legislature safe,
and on the legislature, by joint ballot depends the
election of State officers. or course the democratic
ticket will be elected.
On scanning the returns, and calculating for the
most unfayorable result that may be anticipated from
the towns to be heard from, and the second elections
we led to the unerring certainty Of noble dem
ocTatic triumph.

Our readers will perceive from the reported pro-
ceedings ofhe House of Representatives, that very
interesting matter was presented to the House yes
terdsy which gave rise TO an exciting debate, and
call for information from the executive department
The charges brought forward by Charles j. Inger-
soil, esq, against Daniel Webster, esq, late Secrc-
tary Of State, and senator Of the United States
are of the gravest character. They amount to eor-
ruption" and "malversstion" Of office We do not
profess determine upon their truth, to pass any
opinion upon them. We shall wait, ofcourse for the
result ofthe inquiry. We must see the evidencsbe C
fore we undertake to pronounce upon them. But
the Impeachment is Of n grave character, and de-
serves to be inquired into. The decided majority OF
the House which called for the information shows
that their opinion, it due we'll to the coun.
try as to the individual that these matters, thus bold
ly proclaimed, ought at once to be investigated. II
becomes our duty to suspend the formation Of any
definite opinion upon them, until the inquiry has
been made and the evidence has been fully exhb
tied.

EMIGRATION TO OREGON.

We are permitted to make an extract from letter
written by Gen. C. c. Van Horn, distinguished
citizen Of northern Illinois, dated March 25 1916:
"We had several teams pass here yesterday on
their way to Oregon. They had cows yoked to
draw their loads, instead Of oxen. In all, we have
had forty teams pass here and they tell us more are
on the road. They were from Ohio, Michigan, and
Indiana. Knowing the deep interest have mani
tested in the settlement Of Oregon, and the extern
sion Of the American laws over it, they all give me
call; and find every of them resolute, and
fully determined to protect himself in his own way,
fhs country abandons him in his new home, and
drives him to this alternative. Not man will
ever consent to be British subject"

The STEAMER UNIcoRN.-lf she left Liverpool on
the 18th ult, as was expected, this is her 2st day
out We learn that she was to bring out large
quantity Of freight on account OF the government,
which would have TO be- landed at Halifax before
she could proceed. This would cause a delay Of a
day or two at that pint. The following scrap from
the Halifax Recorder OF the 25th ut shows, we pre-.
sumo, what part ofthe aforesaid government freight

The proceedings of Con gress occasionally SWEEP
everything else before them. As, for example, in
our last evenings paper, we had prepared comfort
able quantity Of editorials, communications, foreign
news, Mexican articles, and the triumphant result
Of the Connecticut election. They were in type
and when, long after midnight, we dismissed our
Friday" with a confident expectation that all wa,
wsl oar diligent reporters were plying their busy
trade until o'clock in the morning. The result
was, that the reporters Of both houses filed our in
side pages with their abors and did not even leave
sufficient space to explain the appearance of our
paper, and apologize for its omissions. The inter-
estng proceedings of Congress claim a priority
over other subjects.

FaoM HArrL-The brig Majestic, Captain True
arrived this morning from the city Of ST. Domingo
after passage of eighteen days. Captain True re
ports that when he eft the political affairs of the
island remained much the same for the last two
or three months; with the exception of a strong
jealousy which beginning to throw itself among
the blacks toward the white population.
The navy Of the Domncans was in most mis-.
cradle condition; their vessels manned with mer
who were pressed and forced on board against thei
will without clothes, only half fed and paid equa
about three dollars Spanish per month, in paper
currency. They have no order or discipline or
board, and not even code of laws for their navy
Captain Farnham, while in command Of the ship
Selek, formerly barque Alert, Of New York, was
publicly attacked in the street by a black and his
friends, with whom he had had some difficulty or
board; and was supposed by foreigners generally
that had he used any weapon in defence, he would
have been instantly massacred.
Captain Farnham Immediately left his ship, and
called on the government which has promised him
full and satisfactory redress, but it is generally
thought they dare not punish the offence for fear Of
creating disturbance among the blacks.

New YoRK MoNEY MARKET, TUESDAY, April
Stocks have declined again to-day, and If this
downward tendency should continue, 1t is very
probable that Of the fancies will evaporae into
air, and others reach their real value.
The passage though the House of Representatives
Of the sub treasury with its salutary and stringent
specie clause with its almost certain success In the
Senate has doubtless caused the panic which now
exists both in and out of "the street." The wings
no doubt will make the most Of this state Of things
to further their wicked political interests at the APP
preaching elections. But they must be cup and
doing" and not let the grass grow under their feet,
for ''this awful-ths dreadful panic" will last but
very short time. The warehousng bill will be upon
them very shortly, and then the most tmid,
will admit that they will have nothing to fear from
the most terrible of all terrible measures to wit the
sub-treasury. For then no duties of any amount
will be on hand at any one time, and no merchant
will have to apply for discounts to large amount
to meet them. There will, however, it il true, be
this difference in the matter-the importers will hold
their own goods in their own possession until sold
at little expense, thereby preventing the adding the
interest on the sums discounted to pay the duties.
This will allow the importer to sell his goods at
lower prices, which will be a benefit to the commu-
nity, than he can do now. The banks have the
benefit now which the importers ought to have,
there being at least thirty millions Of dollars worth
of unsod goodsin this city on which duties to the
amount of six millions have been paid. This is
surely very unfair state of things, and we are glad
to find that there is doubt their death knell will
soon be tolIed-.N Y. Globe,

The declaration that suffered to proceed from
the lips of the member from Alabama, in the House
Of Representatives in yesterdays debate, nsonished
every ear, and startled every understanding, that
'among the most eminent persons in Europe, no
American, next TO the name Of Washington, was
held in higher respect than that Of Daniel Webster
The names OF Jefferson, of Madison, Of the great
Franklin, of the illustrous Jackson &c, &C., spring
at once to the memory. "Is it possible that any
American could suppose them inferior to Daniel
Webster" Party feeling or personal hostility
must have eclipsed the judgment; and in the
astonishmcnt of the scene Kisses heard in
the hall. The respectable and highly respected rep
resentatve from Alabama then modified the declara-
ton, and confined the comparison to 'living Ameri-
cans" and this version repeated to-day in the
House. The worthy orator should have recollected
with Dogberry, that comparisons are odorous."
And though we have no desire to depreciate any
man who deserves an "honest fame" yet wo do not
see why this gentleman should be placed upon so
colossal pedestal as to throw other men into the
shade. We had supposed that in his own party he
might have found a more celebrated and towering
name-Mr. Clay's, for example. The senator from
Massachusetts, possesses great talents but where
