Wehave seen many Of Mr.. Blair's produc

the onesto which we now refer is sufficient
of itself to establish his reputation as an Ar

to render the effect pleasing in the extreme.

GIVE find list of Senators to the
,hirty-frst Congress published in the
Washington Union Of the 18th inst, and
as i. is intended as a correct summary
which it is Motive beg leave to correct
the list. Senator Jones Of Iowa, is made
TO vacate his seat in 1851, whilst the
drawing which took place on the 26Ih
December, shows that his term expires in
1858. We quote the official proceeding.
Mr.. Allen submitted the following re-
solution; which was considered and u
dopted:
RESOLVED, That the Senate proceed to
ascertain the classes in which the Sena-
tors from the State of Iowa shall be in
serted, in conformity with the resolution
Of the 18th May, 1889, and as the consti-
tuition provides.
Mr.. A. then submitted the following
resolution; which was also considered
and adopted:
Resolved, Tha, the Secretary of the
Senate put into the ballot box two papers
ofequal size, one Of which shall be num-
bered one, and the other shall be number
ed three, and each senator shall draw out
one paper; that the senator who shall
draw the paper numbered one shall be
inserted in the class Of senators whose
term ofservice will expire on the Sd day
Of March, l849 and the senator whoshall
draw the paper numbered three, shall be
inserted in the class Of senators whose
term Of service will expire the Sd day Of
March, 1858. 1
Whereupon, the papers above mention
ed, were put by the Secretary into The
box in conformity with the reso1ueiens

ANTI.FOGEISM.

However offensive TO good taste may be
the terms "Fogie" and "Anti- Fogie,"
brought into use as proyincialism, in
the days Of Geo. L. Nightingale, we know
Of no other by which we can designate
the two factions Of the Wing party ofDu-
buque, and therefore hope to be excused
for giving the above heading to this arti-
Gle. Il is now a long time since we have
either heard, or used the term, and until
within the last two or three Weel vs.
had supposed the faction q hieh II VA
originally applied, had beg 8 6siFeIjy
extinct. The recent cor 1ssace of

The Tribune is lending itself, in a re-
markable degree to the Antics, and every

Of the Fogie Party.
We do not design to notice the indefin.

or pro ,empore Of the Tribune has any
charges TO make, let him bring them forth,
and they shall receive candid examina-

nages the office, or ought to, according to
his own notions Of RICH, or wrong, and
is amenable 10 the proper authorities for
any derileetion Of duty. In dispensing
the patronage Of the Office, he will NO
doubt be obligedto disappoint many one
who arrogate to themselves extraordina-
~ rights and privileges, and among these
may be classed the correspondent of the
Tribune, who signs himself" Truth."

The Presidents Message.

Owing TO the fact Of our not receiving
our regular exchanges, by Wednesdays
mail, we are unable to present the Presi-
dents Message, entire, in this days paper.
The synopsis which we give below, we
tske from an extra of the Marietta lnteli-
.gencer, for which paperit was telegraphed.
Should the Message be deemed of such
importance as to demand its publication
entire, it shall appear innext weeks paper.
This lengthy synopsis, however may OBJ
viate the necessity for such publication.
So far as we are able to judge the Mes
sage takes ground in favor Of the ultra
measures of the whig party. We suppose
the people are at length able to decide
, what "a whig but not an ultra whig' is.
J II is now construed to mean opposition to
every measure advocated by the democrat

Up to the time Of our leaving Columbus,
on Friday the 2lst inst, no organization
Of the Senate had taken place. From our

things existed up to Saturday evening,
since which time we have received no pa

toreceive our regular exchanges, we are
unable to say.

this time, that the division of Hamilton

and silently tolerated by free people,

we trust and believe that SO much Of the
apportionment bill as divides Hamilton

Congress-.

We learn, verbally, that the House OF
Representatives has organized by the elec-
ton of Mr.. Cobb, of Georgia, the caucus
nominee of the democrats, as Speaker.
This result was brought about by con.
ference between the democratic and whig
parties. The understanding being that
whoever received the highest number of
votes on the first ballot succeeding the con.
ference should be elected Speaker, by the
votes Of the party voting for the minority
candidate, and that the friends of the mi
nority candidate should be entitled to the
rest of the officers. The first ballot re
suited as follows: For Mr.. Cobb l02-
for Mr.. Winthrop 100.
