MEETING OF CONGRESS. Congress convened Dec.
3d. and according to the Atlantic papers, much diff

No danger need be apprehended from this source
difficulty has happened before. Under Van Burens

I'd, and did not choose q speaker until the 10th,
when K M. I. Hunter, of Va, was chosen speaker,
ll9 votes to lib for all others. The next severe
contest occurred in 1S49, Congress convened Dec
Sd, Howell Cobb was elected speaker Dec 22d, on
the Oath BALLOT. In this contest the House stood
112; Wings and Natives, los !;
Free Soilers ~, and l vacancy. There is nothing
surprising or alarming now because delay occurs in
the organization of Congress. Delay and angry dis
cusson has occurred before and will again Men,
bers of Congress may quarrel, but when anything
really serious is to be done, the People will inform
their servants how to act, and they must obey

MEXICO HER DEsTINY.--The New York Times
thinks that If Aaron Burr, who was ambitious to
rule Mexico had had but the opportunity of pac-
ing himself at the head of the Mexican revolutions
which have occurred during the past thirty years,
he would have brought order out Of chaos and have
made Mexico one of the great powers of the earth.
But different destiny awaits her. We quote sit
is not very wild dream to imagine that there are
those among us already come to mans estate who
will live to see the whole of the Mexican territory
absorbed into our confederaoy and the time will
not be far off when that wild prediction of Senator
Douglas will be fulfilled, and our republic will be
ocean bound and all the red lines which the over
sanguine Senator complained of will be expunged
from the map of the American continent"

A judicial decision at Exeter, Eng, will give sat
isfaction to the lovers of peace and quiet A judge
decided that no person has right to keep vocifer-
animals like Cochin China fowls, to the annoy
ance of his neghbors, and gave damages in a case
of the kind. We sadly want judge here who
will heed this decision. The attention of Judge
Johnson might be proftably directed, not only to
legion of dogs but to class of (unfeathered) BIZ
peds who frequently make night hideous in this

But the speaker pushed on. needless of the in

still more decidedly, Il say, when Abraham built
the ark
And l say cried out the other 'Abraham

The preacher was not to be beaten down in this
way, and addressing the people, exclaimed, with
great indignation, | say Abraham was thar, or
