following allusion to the sentiments he expressed
during his Southern tour some years since. The

Mr.. Simonton, the Washington correspondent

through the head waiter, and then surrendered to
the authorities. There is no doubt he acted in self
defence. 1t is gettiug time that hotel walters a

The richmond Wing prints Mr.. Burlinghame's
speech at Cincinnati, and closes an article upon
it thus:
w will only say that if we are poor, our pov.
erty is owing to our misplaced generosity to the
North and that, in case Of a war, having moth
ing to lose, we cannot fail to come out of the con-
test gamers ]"
But it would seem from the following paragraph
in the same mornings Richmond Enquirer that
there are some things to lose, some things which
are worth preserving in that quater:
Nine slaves, detected in making their escape
from Salem and Rectortown, in Fauquier County,
Va, were arrested last week and lodged in Jail at
Warrenton. The people of Louden and Fauquier
are takinging steps to preserve their property
from the arts and designs Of persons supposed to
be connected in the matter"

dency. 1t is believed that Messrs Slidell and Cass
were engaged in this transaction, and that they
had the sympathy of "Old Buck" which accounts
for his receiving no injury. The above reward
will be paid by the sorrOwing builders of the plat

How TIE House MAKES A PREslDENT.-It is not
impossible that the next President of the United
States will have to be elected by the house of
Representatives. 1t may interest our readers to
give the exact formula of election in that body.
In the event of no selection by the people, then
the Constitution prescribes that
From the persons having the highest number,
not exceeding three, on the list of those voted for
as president, the House OF Representatives shall
choose Immediately by ballot the President. But
in choosing the President, the vote shall be taken
by States, the representation from each State hav-
ing one vote a quorom for this purpose shall
consist of a member or members from two.thirds
of the States, and n majority of all the States
shall be necessary to . choice. And if the house
of Representatives shall moi chose a President
whenever the right OF choice shall devOlve upon
them before the fourth of March next following,
then the Vice President shall act as President, as
in case Of the death or other constitutional disabil.
ity of the President.

such desperate efforts to extend and perpetuate
the institution? How long would the covenant,
