Hos. T. EwING.-A brief business letter
from the above gentleman, just received,
suggests reflections both grateful and pain
full. II is gratifying to be reminded, at the
close Of this eventful and p%ortentious year,
that there are yet left 10 our country a few
Of the intellectual giants, who have illustrat-
ed her annals, within the last two decndes;
and who may yet, In the emergency to be
created by the working of party pigmies, be
called to arrest the downward progress Of
events. In quiet retirement, Mt. Ewing
habituaIly takes a deep interest In every
thing that attends public progress, whether
the direction be up hill or down. He is one
ofthe few historical characters Of whom our
Young State has reason to be proud;-0ne,
too, which has been visited with the peculiar
sort of gratitude in which Ohio IL wont to
indulge, towards her worthiest sons. II is
by no means essential 10 his happiness or to
his emolument, that he be retained in public
life;-but had such as he been commission
ed to perform the peoples service, instead of
the creatures which The noxious breath of
party has warmed into being, the work would
not only have been better done, but the rep
~utation of the Commonwealth, as the selec-
tor and rewarder of the most worthy, would
have been secured. These are times whom
plain speaking is required; -and if to dear
bought experience be added wholesome in
junction and admonition, the more faithful
and effective the service performed. The
strength and elasticity Of our republican in
stitutions are now subjected to most danger
Gus and unnatural pressure, by the fashion
Of the duy, which eschews both the men and
the fruits of history and experience, and
commits the most precious interests to the
guidance of demagogic, rash and mercenary
experimenters. So mote it bel GAS the
tree falleth, so it lies!' "They that SOW the
wind, shall reap the whirlwind." Sci. Gaz.

CoNeREssIoNAL.-Nothing of any impor-
lance was transacted in Congress, on Mon
day, except the reading Of the Presidents
message. A short debate arose in the Sen
ate on the right of Mr.. Dixon, of Kentucky
to n seat. Mr.. Gwin said there was nc va
cancy in the Senate from Kentucky and this
matter ought to be looked into; at the close
of the last session there were two Senators
here representing Kentucky, and no vncan-
cy has occurred since, aud upon this he
raised the question, whether there was any
vacancy in the Senate to be filled by the
Legislature o. Kentucky.
Mr. Jones said lie could see no cause why
MIR. Dixon should rot Ge sworn in, and de-
sired to know whether there was any one in
attendance besides Mr.. Dixon, claiming The
seat made vacant by the resignation or death
OF Mr.. Clay. II ,hcrc were dccontestan
or claimant for the seat, why was their any
objection to Mr.. Dixon? He said he under
stood that the gentleman who occupied the
seat at the last session, was not a claimant
or contestant for the seat.
The proceedings Of Tuesday have not
come to hand, as the eastern telegraph line
was down last evening.

CoEGREss.-We do not suppose that much
Of any Importance will be transacted at the
present session of Congress. The recon-
hendations Of the President in regard to
changes in the present Tariff will not meet
with the appreciation Of the majority, and SO
far as other great public questions are con-
cerned, q disposition is manifested to hand
them over to the tender mercies Of the new
Administration. We are of the opinion that
some notifications will then be made in our
present revenue laws; but so far as river and
harbor and other internal Improvements are
concerned, we can expect nothing from
them, if we are to judge from the "antece-
dents' of the President elect.
The presidential election being over and
that question settled to the satisfaction OF
the majority, nothing now remains upon
which they can spend their breath and con-
sumo the time that ought to be devoted to the
public service, by making long-winded
speeches TO thin houses and publishing
them to be read by a few oftheir constituents.
The session will Of course be a short one,
ending on the third Of March, and the time
that is generally spent in committee rooms,
will probably be devoted to Locofoco eau
cuses, preparing the appointments to be
made by Gen. Pierce. There will be rich
scenes, in Washington, this winter, and
those who can disinterestedly enjoy a peep
behind the curtains, will be amused, if not
instructed. But of all that mass of human
beings, on the Locofoco side, who will make
hat city their head-quarters:.for this season,
how many will there be who can thus enjoy
themselves!
In Congress there will doubtlessly be a
display upon the part of tho fllibusters.
Young America is bound to make itselfcon-
spicuous, and ofcourse a chance to talk about
Cuba, the Crescent City and Purser Smith
is the very thing they want. Speech-making
will be confined principally to this one ques-
ton, unless an Old Hunker now and then
takes it into his head to run a tilt against the
Presidents recommendations in regard to
changes in our internal economy. Any talk
about extra and constructive mileage and q
reduction Of the expenditures in the various
departments oil the government, is now out
of the question, the cleo ton being over; but
in the coming Congress, we think there are
some men elected who will ring these chang
es in the ears of their associates until they
quake with fear, if they do not repent.

ARREST OF AN ALLEGED FUGITIVE

An alleged fugitive slave, named James
Phillips, was arrested in this place on mon.
day last, by Deputy Marshals Loyer and
John Sanders. Phillips has resided IN Har-
risburg for the last ten or twelve years, Is an
honest, industrious man, and has vile ana
several children. His arrest caused The
most intense excitement; and during The
examination, which lasted three or four
hours, immense crowds of people surrounded
the office of the Slave Commissioner, all
anxious 10 learn the fate Of poor Phillips
After hearing the testimony which, to US,
was by no means conclusive as 10 the iden-

in the office between the captors and cap

thus rudely torn from her husband and the
father Of her little children, became greatly
excited, and were unsparing in their denun-
Citations of the Slave Commissioner and his
Deputies. AT one time, indeed, so intense
was the excitement, that we feared an at
