The death OF Mr. HEEaIc1, which I announced
&c you this afternoon. has cast temporary gloom
over Congress- Both Hooses will sdiourn TO NOR

will vote tomorrow 10 adjourn till Tuesday al Z
O'Clock TO attend the funeral. is 81 sppropra'e
nos,k of respect 10 the dead, IN. With -Ths grace
will Polk Co come 10 mourn over the dead and TO
syupathize with the beresved family and weeping
widow when they have, and are still ready 10 make
more weeping widows and mourniog families BY
their mad projects Of Warl Impotence and by
pocrisy combined make men with homan hearts In
carnaie iends.
The old game of Mr.. Polk is revived in bestowiug
Offices Or those OF the party who oppose him Some
Of the sulenest 81 40 men are to be bFloed win
Office into an unpariotic silence on the tergi*erss-
tons OF the Executive Thus the secret circular men
Of New York opposed The Annexation OF Texas and
they got Office to the exclusion OF honest, open An
nexstion men. EESsr HoKs, Il said, got up re,
rponslrance against the Annexation OF Texas ana

men themselves. Those who were most suspected
of being opposed TO Annexation are the greatest
favorites at the White House.

loud in their anthems Of praise 10 the present Admin
is,re,ion. How dearly these 540 40 froth.spouters
love the people, and how much they would sacrifice
for securing our territory against alienation when
their mouths are thus hermeticalIy sealed against
Executive delinquency by the degrading accept
apce OF Office.
A fact mas come 10 my knowledge this evening
which calls for public notice. Understand that the
Government are now engaged In transporting can

from transporting cannon and armies 10 California
unless to involve us in War with the leading ma
lions OF Europe7 Why does nat Polk try 10 restore
the country 10 Peace. instead OF seeking new re-
eions for stirring ~ strife 7 Where will lis thirst

HAM has received instructions offer the friendly
mediation OF EuRihuu W iNeso'S P'"SS S~N''N'-@

Tell neither this humane offer will be received IN

The report that the Asaiic Cholera had appeared
in Canada has led nauy TO fear that It may break
out here This fear is strengthened by the fact that
many persons are now suffering from sickness snll-

v.rsy, its statements are wholly unjust and un-
candid. Ii is enough 10 mention that one OF the
charges is that there no precedent since nor

Fund into his own hands. The Committee of both
parties certify that under Warrington Adams and
Jefferson the Secretaries of Stale did take this
money into their own hands. What credit car be
