George 2. I've of Pa
All those whose occupation is not noticed At tha
end of their names will be assigned 10 different iu.
ties within the next few days There may be also
few whose names have not got, bat the above ss
far as it goes is correct The District of Columbia
gets the lions share, as she generally does under all
Administrations so far as appointments to Office
are concerned.
Mr. MILLER, the legally elected Representative
in Congress from the lid District of lows Loaf bis
seat yesterday, owing entirely TO the gross and n
parsonable absence OF Wings when the vote wss
taken. What encouragement is there on earl,
for Wbig to struggle and expend his money and
time for the good OF the cause, when such hesrtlcss
indifference is manifested toward him by bis ova
political friends as was exhibited yesterday by Tia
absence Of those to whom Iallude. There were thirty
seven absentees, Of whom twenty were Whigs.
which, had they been present, would have giyes
Mr.. Miller a majority OF three Of the whola Con.
gress. Gentlemen have no right TO palm them
selves off upon the people as their Representatives
in Congress, and then make il a matter of eony,
nienee to themselves entirely whether they win bo
present or not, especially when the most import.
ant questions OF the session are to be decided aha
the only way to correct this fragrant abuse of delo.
gated power Is for the people TO withhold their
sofirsges from any man who, without other cause
than his own convenience, abssnts himself when
en- important vote in Congress is taken. The tsen-
ty Wing absentees when Mr.. MiIler's case was
yesterday disposed of were: Messrs Asbmun, AIs-
ton, Brooks, Butler, Conrad, Duer Gentry, Hlliard
w. Hunter, w. I. jackson, J Morton, Ness, A 2
owen, Phenx, Rose, I. Stevens, Vinton, D. VII
liams, and j. Wilson the above, two were un-
svoidably detained by sickness, Van Ness and
VintoD, and the remainder Of them were 90 far
as is known here, without excuse. Your City and
etate furnished its full quota Of absentees, and az
the vote was an extremely important one, IL il
proper the people should know who were absent
RON their posts.
The vote OF Mr.. COBB, which defeated MUrEp
ia the end, is another evidence Of his impartaI.tz
es well as -ebuke of those factiosists among the
Wings " ho succeeded ia defeating a big Speak
er and placing an E1compromising Loco oco Ia the
Chair.
There seems 10 be general consent among Sen
ators that vote shall be taken on the plan Of ad-
iustment proposed by the Committee OF Thirteen,
on Wednesday or Thursday Of next week, The
decided majority against the Missouri Compromise
yesterday, has strengthened the chances of sue
cess Of the adjustment; and my mind remains un-
changed in the opinion already expressed, that il
will pass. Ii il goes through the Senate it will
eventually 20 through the House and ii 10 the only
scheme proposed that will save the whole Of New
Mexico, as high up as Santa Fe, from being grasped
by Texas and subjected TO the blightipg Influences
OF Slavery. The probability is, that with the OK.
ception Of COL BENTON, the whole North w estern
Senatorial vote will be given for the adjustment
So far as an expression has been made the people
comprising both parties have spoken decidedly In
favor Of the Committee plan. 5.
