HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM
VENEZUELA.
Terrible massacre of Congressmen-Antici-
pated Revolution.

Terrible massacre of Congressmen-Antici-
pated Revolution.
The New York Herald has received some
highly important intelligence from Vene-
zuela, by the schooner Susan Ludwig, Capt.
Doty, arrived at Norfolk on the Gath ult.,
from Laguayra, whence she sailed on the
lst ult.
She was chartered to bring dispatches TO
the Government at Washington, and the
Herald learns that Capt. Doty proceeded
Immediately TO Washington with the
dispatches.
There has been some terrible scenes en-
acted at Caracas. The Venezuelan Con-
gress met on the Gath January, was over
wheImed by the populace, set on. it is said,
bv the President, and several Of the men,
bers horribly massacred. 1t was expected
that revolution would Immediately break
out throughout the Republic.
The greatest excitement prevailed when
the Susan Ludwig sailed. The Herald has
received several accounts of the scenes, one
of which we annex:
Caracas, January 81. lS4S.
herewith send you hasty sketch of
the present state of this city.
About one year ago, Gen. Monargas was
placed in the Presidential chair by the party
called Olgarquis; the choice was forlorn
hope al the time, as he was The only person
to oppose the candidate ofthe liberal party.
On the arrival of the Prerident elect at La
guayra, Gen. Paez met him on terms of
friendship, although many years ofdiSgusto
had existed between them,) and after cor
dial embrace, they came up to Caraccas.-
Paez used his influence and advice TO form
the cabinet, with some of our best citizens.
The government started quietly, and con-
fdence and hope animated the public. A
few short weeks put an end to our expecta-
lions; several of the cabinet retired in dis.
gust, and the President kept The breach
widening. by the appointment OF number
of offenders against the former government.
Many influential men, and among them
Gen. Flores, endeavored TO healthe braach
Meetings were held; circumstances and
threats from the press pourd forth in
volumes; finally, it was determined TO i'm
peach the President before the Congress
about 10 meet.
In the meantime the President dsarmed
the melitia actiuo. and placed arms in the
hands of the meliiia reSerua, known TO be
most favorable to the liberal party; all the
| old liberals were invited to return and many
were placed in Office, some not being emit
tied to citizenship. Commerce became
crippled, and confidence destroyed; The
government hobbled on with an empty
treasury; large bodies of troops were pre-
pairing, near Caracas; and, on the Gath o
this month, when there were scarcely mem
bers enough to form quorum in the Huust
of Representatives, there were 1000 troop
| in and near the city. On the opening o
Congress, serious disorder commenced be
tween several members; high words drew
great crowd; daggers were drawn, and

ANDREW STEWART, a member of Congress
from Pennsylvania, addressed the follow.
ing letter to the Taylor festival at Phila.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,

GENTLEMEN: Your letter inviting me 10
a Taylor Wing festival on the 22d instant

My public duties permitting, nothing,
assure you, could give me more pleasure
than to be with you, on that occasion.
There is something suspicious and cheer.
ing in the association on that day of the
names of Washington and Tdylor-the
two men, "h rst in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of their countrymen."
Allow me to congratulate you and the
country on the brightning prospects of the
Wings. The conviction is becoming gen.
eral that our institutions cannot survive an
other Wing defeat--that five years more
Of present misrule will involve the coun-
try in irremedable ruin. In such a crisis.
success is everything-men nothing. Give
us the man who can lead us 10 a certain
the demand of every true Wing.
10 be effective our majority must be de.
cisive and controlling. Any administra.
ton to be successful, must be sustained by
the people-let their wishes be consulted
and adopted. On the 9TH day of June, in
" Independence Hall, let there be a" Union
of the Wings for the sake of the Union"
On tina, suspicious day, and in that conse-
Grated hall, let all personal preferences and
purposes be sacrificed on the altar of our
country. Let the "Whig Nationol Con.
vention" respond to the National VIII by
nominating the peoples faroritc, and they
will cleo. him by an overwhelming ma jori-

Every thing valuable in our institutions
is at stake. Look at the alarming condi-
ton of things. The expenses Of the Gov
eminent at this moment actually exceeding
by forty millions of dollars. its entire reve-
nue., requiring from Pennsylvania, as her
quota, four millions a year, being three
times the amount of her present heavy
State taxation, and equal to ten dollars per
annum for every tax payer in the United
States. Can the people bear this addition

and aggravate the evils of taxation when
they come. An increase Of the tariff, or
direct taxation, is the only alternative
Can the tariff be increased during this ad-
ministrationl fear not. The remedy is
with the people-,he power is in their own
hands, and they must exert it for their own
deiverance by the elevation Of that plain
republican. pure patriot, illustrious hero.

Presidency--when, under the auspices of
the second Washington, our Government,
will be brought back to The purer princ.

Oh for an hour when the day is breaking,
Down by the shore when the tide is making;
Fair as q white cloud thou, love, near me,
None but the waves and myself TO hear thee;
Oh, to my breast, how these arms would press
thee
Wildly my heart in its Joy would bless thee;
Oh, how the soul thou hast won would WOO thee,
Girl of the snow neck closer to me.
Oh for an hour as the day advances,
Out where the breeze on the broom brush dances,
Watching the lark, with the suns ray DER us,
Winging the notes Of this heaven taught chorus,
Oh! 10 be there, and my love before me,
Soft as the moonbeam smiling DER me;
Thou would but love me and would WOO thee
Girl OF the dark eye, closer to me.
Oh! for an hour where the sun first found US,
Out in the eve with its red sheets around US.
Brushing the dews from the gales soft winglets
Pearly and sweet with thy long dark ringles;
Oh! 10 be there on the sward beside thee,
Telling my tale though know you chide me:
Girl Of the dark locks! closer to me.
OH for an hour by night or by day, love,
Just as the heavens and thou might say, love;
Far from the stare Of the cold.eyed many,
Bound in the breath OF my dove-soued Jennie
OH for the pure chains that have bound me,
Warm from thy red lips circling round me
Oh in my soul, as the lights above me,

BURSTS OF ELoQUENCE.-The following
"burst of eloquence" was delivered before
a court of Justice in Pennsylvania: "Your
honor sits high upon the adorable seat of
Justice, like the Asiatc rock of Gebralta;
while the eternal streams of justice, like the
cadaverous clods of the valley, flow mean
dering at your feet"
This reminds us of the commencement
ola speech of a lawyer in New Jersey
"Your honors does not sit there like marble
statues, to be waited about by every idle
breeze"
Another western orator commenced his
harrangue with: "The important crisis
which were about to have arriven have ar
roven."
Another: "The Court will please to OBJ
serve that the gentleman from the East has
given them very learned speech. He has
Roamed with old Romulus; Socked with
old Socrates; Ripened with old Euripides
and Canted with old Canthardies, but what
your honor, what does he know about The
laws of Wisconsin,"
A young lawyer in one of our own Courts
commenced his defence as follows. "May
it please your honor, the Deluge has passed
over the face of the earth. The Ark has
rested upon the mountain. and the Rainbow
of Justice shines as beautifully upon my col
ored clients as il does upon any one in TIL.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOR
We find the following in the Cincinnati
Chronicle of the Doth nlt;

Chronicle of the 29th uIt:
BATON ROUGE, La. Feb. -, lS4S.
My DEAR COLONEL: Your very kind
communication, and the accompanying
newspaper, have duly reached me.
In reply to the closing remarks of your
letter, have no hesitation in stating. as
have stated on former occasions, that | am
Wing, though not an ultra one; and that
Ihaue no desire TO conceal this from any por-
ton Of the people Of the United States.-
deem il but candid, however, to add, that
if the wing party desire at the next Pres.
dental election to cast their votes for me,
they must do il on their own responsibility,
and without any pledges from me. Should
l be elected to office. should deem it to be
my duty, and should most certainly claim
the right, 10 look to the constitution and
the high interests of our common country,
and not to the principles of party, for my
rules Of action.
With my sincerest thanks for your ex
preston of friendship, and my best wishe.
for your success through life, remain, yer,
truly, your friend and obedient servant,

A SCOTCHMAN'S ADVICE
To his Daughter, on leaving Home for q
Boarding School.

To his Daughter, on leaving Home for
Boarding School.
Now, daughter, we haze Just four things
to learn in Edinburg:-ye haze to learn to
manage your head, your hands, your feet,
and your heart. Your head will require
little redding up, bath outside and inside
It's no the hobs and curls, the ribbons and
the rose-kno,s, the gildet kames, and the
toppings O. weel.sIeekit.up.hair, that are to
stand the test for life; and yet these are a
becoming in their places. But there is
something else required. Ye maum learn
to think yoursel, and act for yoursel, for
you Gamma always have your mother and
me to think and act for you. We maun
learn to calculate and weigh, not only your
own actions, but your motives OF action,
as we'll as the actions and apparent motives
of those with whom you have TO deal;
and stick aye by that, my child, of which
YOU are sure never to be ashamed either in
this world, or in the one that's to come.
Ifever We be spared to be a wife, there
will be mair dependence on your head
than your hands; but yet ye are nae the
waur O. being able to cook your family a
neat dinner, and make yoursel new gown
at oura time, or frock to bit wee ane.
But now for the heart, daughter--that
is what requires the maist care, and the
maist watching, over of all; and there's
naught else that am sac unqualified to gle
avice in. Keepi aye free o malice, ran.
cor, and deceit, and as TO the forming OF any
improper connections, or youthful partiali'
ties, it is sac dangerous at your time o life
that no advice nor guardianship can coun
tervail. / mead therefore to leave it en-
tirely to your own discretion and gooc
sense.
Knight have mentioned the management
of the tongue as another, and a separate
point of attention; but it is mere machine
and acts only in subordination to the heac
and heart, and if these are kept in proper
order, the other Wilma rim far wrang. But
