called the compromise measures, are
strictly constitutional, and ought to be
unhesitatingly carried into effect. be-

ticient that the rash counsels of human
passion are rejected. II must be felt
that there is no national security but in
the nations humble, acknowledged de-
pendence upon God and his oYerruling
Providence.
We have been carried in safety through
a perilous crisis. Wise counsels, like
those which gave US the constitution, pre-
vailed to uphold it. Let the period be
remembered as an admouition, and not
as an encouragement in any section of
the Union to make any experiments, where
experiments are fraught with such fearful
hazard.
Let it be impressed upon all hearts,
that beautiful as our fabric is, no earthly
power or wisdom could ever re-unite its
broken fragments.

Mass Meeting in HARBOUR.

Ma. EDiToR On Monday evening,
the first day of our February Court, L
heard it announced that mass meeting
would be held at Phillippi, on the first day
of our March court, TO agree upon some
one of the many Democrats who aspire to
office in our county, as candidate Tor a
seat in our next legislature.
much regret that the relative strength
of the political parties in our county re-
auires and justifes such resort. There
would be some spirit in seeing about TWEEN
ty enter the lists and take the field at
once as we have more than that num-
Der ready and even anxious to try their
speed but our whig neighbors are all
ready to take advantage of our division.
All gatherings of the people for politi-
cal purposes, not required by law are
Ta,cle to great abuse and how often do
wa see the most palpable fraud and de-
cent;on nra, ,tised, for the obvious reason
that comparatile ely few participate or take
any interest whatevs.r in The proceedings,
consequently about nineteen OF. Oh 'men.y
in the county or district, neitner A IN,
nor care anything about the result '.A
they see or hear it announced.
But what else can be done to insure
our success as a party, and as long Us
important party issues, arise between par
ties, as they exist in our country, so long
will necessity arise for unanimity of ac-
ton by each contesting party.
If the masses will always act with such
supineness and Indifference, they must
only abide the will and action of the few
who actively and promptly do their duty
when such emergencies arise.
While am DESTROYS of giving general
publicity to our meeting for our county
nomination. it might not be out of place
to say few things and make few sug-
gestions regarding the furnishing of a
candidate for our senatorial district, COM
posed of the counties of Randolph, Bar
bour, Upshur, Lewis and Gilmer. I'M
derStand that already different gentlemen
are spoken of, and likely by this time an
nounced as candidates for our district,
and while Others are appointing time and
places for holding Congressional and Sc
material Conventions, it strikes me that
we should be up and doing for ourselves.
if nothing already be done. L therefore
suggest that Senatorial Convention be
be held in the town of Buckhannon, say
on the 4lh Friday in this month. or any
other time previous to the election, so as
The counties may appoint their delegates
ct their March courts.
Let US hear from other parts of the dis
trict, and we will agree to any arrange
ment agreed upon, &c.

Whist was done in Congress.

The Washington papers oil Saturday DC
not contain an official list of the titles OF
the acts passed by congress, but we learn
from the Republic that the civil and dip
| lomatic bill, whick was passed, raises the
salaries of the Vice President and the
heads of the Departments, from six to
eight thousand dollars per annum ap-
proprates one hundred thousand dollars
towards supplying Washington with a bet
ter supply of water twenty thousand dol
lars for the repair of the Long Bridge,
and thirty thousand for Il bridge at the
Little Falls i; and creates the Office of As
sstant Secretary of State, with salary
of three thousand dollars per annunl.
All the general appropriation bills were
passed and, in an addition to other mea-
sures of Importance, the bill establishing
the Territorial Government of Washing
ton.
We learn from other sources that the
army bill makes among other approprla-
tions, the following:
Remouuling four companies of light
Artillery, SIT, 500 Defence of San Fran
cisco, 10000 Tortugas Island, Florida,
100, 900 Fort Taylor Key West, $4,000 ;
Fort Pulaski, Ga, 20, 600 Fort Sumpter,
S. c., 10000 Fort Carroll, Soldiers

600; Fort Knox, Penobscot, Me-. S.
600 Fort Warren, Boston, 900 Fort
Winthrop, Boston, %, 500,
The sum of S25O,OOo was also appro-
priated for survey and exploration for u
railroad from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean, by the Typographical en-
gineers, and such other persons as the
Secretary of War, under the direction of
the President, may deem necessary.
Bills were passed contemporaries, the Sis
tiers of Visitation in the District of Column
bia, to prevent, in certain cases, failure or
DELAY of Justice in courts of the District of
Observation-Disclosures the territorial gov
eminent of Washington and authorizing
the incorporation OF the Georgetown and
Catochie railroad company,
What was not done, or rather what has
been left unfinished would occupy too
much space to detail. Suffice it to say
that among the bills not disposed of was
one appropriating land scrip in full and
final satisfaction of the Virginia military
bounty land warrants. A joint resolution
to supply the Washington City Juvenile
Guard with arms was not finally acted up
on, and a motion was left pending to re-
consider the bill in favor of the menlorl-
al of the defenders of Baltimore, praying
for further grant OF land i'll consideration
of their services. The resolution to pro
cure ice boats for the Potomac, the bills
to amend the charter of the city of Wash
ington, the bill to incorporate the Pioneer
Manufacturing Company of Georgetown,
the bill establishing a retired list of army
officers, the bill establishing private bon
ded warehouses, the bill to re-organize
the U. S, Navy, and the bill giving fur
Their remedies to pateutees, were all left
without final action, with large number
of others.

EE Peter e. Washington, Esq, one of
the oldest and most efficient officers OF
the Government. during the administra-
ton of Mr.. Polk. has been appointed As
si>tant Secretary of the Treasury, and his
appointment has given great satisfaction.
We have known Mr.. Washington long

better appointment could have been made.
He is gentlemen of fair talents, of I'M
firing industry, and q most faithful and

kind of men for the times, and President
Pierce seems to hit the mark with uuer-

RlcH MEN.-A writer in the Rocking
ham Register. in giving 81 etches of some
of the members of the present Legislature,
says:
'There is another delegate who is quite
distinguished, but not so much for his
mind as his money. His name is Hairs.

much he is worth, but he hes settled all
his children, and divided his estate among
them, reserving only single plantation,
upon which he lives alone, being wi

groes. One of his brothers recently died
in Mississippi, leaving several plantations
and fifteen hundred negroes to little mu-

brother is now living in Henry county. in

A RlGID LAw.-The recent act of Con-
gress to prevent frauds upon the Treasu-
ry of the United States contains some We
rigid provisions 1t requires all powers
of attorney to receive money to be execu-
ted after the claims is allowed. and to be
ackowleged in the presence of the wit
nesses.
1t prohibits all officers from acting as at
torneys for claimants, under the penalty
of fine and Imprisonment
1t intlicts heavy penalty upon any
person destroying paper or record filed
with clerk or other officers OF a court.
1t inficts heavy penalty upon any
person who shall promise or offer any gift
or bride to member of Congress or
any other government officer. to influence
his vote or action upon any pending ques-
1t prohibits, under heavy penalty of
hne and imprisonment. any member of
Congress from acting as agent or attorney
for any claimant, for compensation paid
or to be paid.
This is an excellent provision, if enfor-
ced, for members have sufficient influence,
from their position, without having super
added the stimulus of interest. 1t is no
uncommon thing to find them brow beat
ing the Executive officers.

BLOODY RENcoNTRE.-A bloody recon-
tire occurred at West Union, Doddridge
county, on the 18Th uIt., between three
men engaged upon the railroad. Two
men attacked another named Lee, who
defended himself with a pen-knife. One
of them received seven cuts in different
parts of his person. one of which severed
the jugular vein, and caused his death in
short time, the other met with a mar
row escape, as one of the strokes made by
Lee with his knife, cut the skin over the
jugular vein of his neck. Lee is in the
West Union Jail awaiting his trial which
will take place on the goth of May next.
