About the second week ofthe session, Dr. Vail,
of \Vashiugtoo, iirtrotluced a resolution for the
',appointment of a comiuiitceto inquire what offi-
cers ofthe U, S. Govcrriment field seats in the
Legislature. contrary to the Constitiitiou of Con-
necticut. The resolution was adopted, and a
comniiitee appoiiited—-—biit _eni-itrary to the almost
uriiforn rtile in such cases. “ the Chair” did not
see fit to place the mover of the resolution upon
the Committee. Time passed on, and nothing
more was heard from them. One or two mem-
bers of the committee were anxious to proceed
iuthe duties oftlieiuvesigation, but found it im-
possible to get the rest together. At length a
meeting washeld, and facts enough found, but
no report was made, until upon the very last
half day of the session, when the house were
finishing olftheir business, and were in haste to
» adjourn, a “report from your comrnittce” was
“ announced. And what was this report ‘I \Vhy
the committee found that “some members /tail
been Poslnzasltérs, but /rad rcsignctl before the
‘commencement of the session, and as for Pension
' Agents, they coulil not be considered oflicers of
the Gouernmcnl, within the meaningofthe law !"
Dr. Vail rose, and inquired whether it appeared
V
J
i in evidence before the committee, that the re-
signations alluded to, were in \Vasliington before
the Legislature began its session ? The Chair-
man replied that it did not. Dr. Vail then stated
that the Postmaster from Suflield held a seat in
the last Legislature, as well as in this, and
Wished to kitow, if li'e had resigned last year,
how it happened that he had another resignation
to make this year? Mr. \Voodrufl' remarked,
at this Legislature had n)thing to do with the
bers of the last. Dr. Vail ad-mitied it, but
ed this merely to show that these resigna-
s were not always made in good faith ; and
men, to inquire, why this coinmitke had not
iorted before, as they were possessed of all
iese facts long ago; stating further, that the
resignations of at least three ofthese Postmaster
members were not in Washington on the 24th
-of May——and-asking whether acts which had
passed this House, where the vote oftliese men
liaéf made a tie, and thrown the decision upon
'--the Speaker, were legal? I-lo httd hardly sat
.down before all further debate was cut off by a
call for the previous question. The vote was
taken upon the acceptance of the report--the
hatids were raised. and the Chair thought it was
_a vote. It was doubted. Those in the affirma-
iive were requested to rise, when about half the
1louse, perhaps more. ‘perhaps less, arose. “ It

port to the Clerk,

Now, to show how faithfully this comniittee
performed their duty, and how true a report they
have rendered, we annex the following letter, re-
ceived by Mr. Vail.

The carl_t/ Scssz'on.——Euqriii'ies are daily mak-
ing through the pI]l)llCj()llrl.‘€tlS and other sources,
as to what the administration iii_tcnds to propose
as a remedy for existing evils, Secrecy is one
of the weapons of our present rulers; and al-
though secrecy in a government if the people is
an anomaly, yet when party and government
are so closely blended as at present, the disci-
pline of party will supereede piinciple. If the
President has any project to propose, by which
the rronntry maybe relieved, nothing will be
heard of it until Congress meets-—lie fears to
sound public opinion from apprehension of de-
stroying his plans before they are matured. It
is more reasonable however to believe that he
has no fixed plan, no positive measure to offer,
lll‘ll cannot be changed by circumstances. Wliat-
(‘.\’("l' iiieliuaiion he may have to declare at once
till faivor of the country, and against all experi-
iiiicnts and (:Ill‘l‘(‘l'l(.‘y tinkering, he is met on all
l.-gzitlvs by his political pledges—by his confidential
Ecounscllors. anti by those notorious men in whose
llizttiils he ltas confided the destinies ofthe nation.
t,_lt is a safe and proper course therefore in efforts
,'to prt=.’serve the country, to look to Congress al-
to_«_:.':tLrZ?r, and not to the Executive ; to separate
and keep entirely distinct these two branches of
the govcrnme_nt; to consider Congress, as it is,
the .SIi'_1.‘-1't37)tCl(llU of the land, and the Executive
as the administrator of the laws, having no con-
trol or jurisdiction over those laws beyond the
veto power which unfortunately the constitution
confides in him. It is owirigto a departure from
:licse cardinal and conservative principles, that
‘ the country is now suffering under the worst of
t'VllS, and, -a return to first principles is among
the early steps necessary for reform.

to propose; that as the experiment originated
with the ‘present party in power, the remedy
must Ct)fne.frOt‘t‘t them. By having nothing to
propose, we unilerstaiid that the \Vhigs otit of
Congress, will not, by ptiblic meetings or concert
in action, make further propositions to Govern-
ment; but certainly the \Vhig members of Con-
gress will. we hope, have sotnetliing to propose,
and that at a very early period of the session ;
that they will not sit muin-chance, and deb,ate
the wretchetl, time serving projects ofthe pres-
sent administration, without at once coming to,
the point. and offering to the people the only
incastire by which the country ctiri be cxtricatcd.
Ve'ai‘e not without hope that Congress, wliei: it
assetiililes in September, will, witliont rcfereiicc
to party, enter at once solemnly into the con-
.-ideration of what can be done to preserve the
Union, for that is the final issue of existing
troubles, and our coitrse should be to look to Cori-
grcss alone, and not_to the Executive in any
shape, for a remedy for all the troubles and
tlifliciilties by \Vl)lt’.'l] the country is encompassed.

I2-_7,/(l.”()y‘Jll0fJl(Z, or Ctzniizc flfacluess, is one of
the most drcadfiil diseases which ever afletls
iiiiimal life. As this is the season for its preva-
lence, and someinstances having occurred in
this neigliborhood, a degree of alarm and not tin-
rcasonable apprehension exists against dogs.—-
The great difficulty at the outset, is to detect the
incipient stages of the disease before the animal
is able to inflict injury. It is melancholy to re-
fleet, that the precaution is seldom taken to de-
st my rabid tlogs,until they have bitten individuals.
\Ve have looked into some ineilical treatises oti
the subject, and find that certain symptoms, if
acctirately observed, will always enable one to
detect the early indications ofthe disorder. ‘
The first symptoms of the disease in a dog is
a strange departure from his usual habits, a never
failing indication of I-'Iydropliobia. This pecul-
iarty consists in a disposition to pick up straws,
pieces of paper, or threads upon the floor. An
inclination to scratch, or rub parts oftliemselvcs,
and a sort ofsluggisliness of look and sullenness
of manner, as if to get away from observation.
They gradually bccouie peevisli and irritable
and manifest st peculiar antipathy to cats and
other ilogs. Tlieirritaliility increases and (logs
and persons about them are objects of their enmi-
tv. A stick held toward them willexcite anger,
arid they snap at it furiously, even if done by
onetliey are most fond of. Some dogs, in the
early statgcs of the disease, will come at the call
oftlieir master, and wag theirtail with the usual
friendliness bf n*anner,‘while the next moment
they turn and snap at some object about them.
As the disease advances, the eyes becomes swol-
len and inflamed, the breathing is thick and
heavy, froth appears at the mouth. and they are
continually gnawing and biting at. objects. Wlien
this stage of the disorder arrives, but few persons
are so stupid as not to perceive the neceseity of
their immediate destruction.
Metlical writers affirm that the fatal effects of
this dreadful disease may result from the bite of
dogs even tiays before any signs of Hydropltobia
are visible. In relation to the origin of the dis-
case. there is no settled theory among medical
writers. The ancients attributed it to a worm
tiridertlie tongue, and the modems, some oftliem,
consider it only a gland there for generating
poison. Onethiug seems settled that the disease
in the human system has never yet been eradi-
cated by artificial remedies. Certain death is
inevitable to that unfortunate individual who has
been exposed to the bite of a rabid dog, unless
the amputation ofa limb has sometimes check-
ed tlie circulation of the poison. The time
which clapscs between the bite and the appear-
ance oftlie disorder, varies froru ten days to the
lapse of some years. as the nervous system or the
virulence of the poison determines. The horri-
ble condition ofa human being sufli.-ring from ap-
prehensiou or liyilrophobia itself, is too familiar
to be detailed. The horrible pains in the limbs.
and contortions and convulsions of body at the
sound or sight of water—thc apprehensions of
approaching death in all the hideous forms the
bewildered imagination creates, is dreadful for
the patient to endure and the tortured friends to
witiiess.—Norlhamyi0n Courier.

Cool Im.puclcncc.--'\Ve learn from the Hart-
ford Courier, that one of the messengers of the
l*Iouse besides charging the state for his al-'1 dav’s
services at $1,520 also charged“ 19 nights attenti-
auce at 81,” per night, although the house sat
but three evenings during the session. The
Courier supposes that the remaining 16 nights
were devoted to the service of the third hotise,
and that Joliu M. Niles A: Co. ought to pay their
proportion of the bill. \Ve tliiuk not. Niles

J. HAW’L.EY’S VEGETABLE
ANTHWBIIJIOHJS PILL S.
‘gEl£\lG compounded entirely of Vegetable
Materials, and are frt e from any mercury ;
nor do they contain injurious siibstttnces. They
are entirely composed of extracts from rare and
powerful plants, the virtues of which, though
long known to several Indian tribes, were not,
until recently, known in this country. No pill
lia-s, or ever caiibe offered to the public of supe-
rior eflicacy as 2; eatliartic medicine. The pro-
prietor of these pills is sure their virtues are
such that no person, after liavirig tried a box,
would on airy accouiit. be witliottt; them, unless
indeed, as may be the case, he should ever after
enjoy It state of perfect, uninterrupted health.
These pills are found to be a most; certain and
effectual preventive of fevers, jtiuiidice, bilious
and other cliolics, and indeed," of all diseases
caused by obstructions orttffections of the stom-
ticli, liver, spleen or‘ intestitics. For liver and
stomach complaints, and all diseases connected
tliercwitli, such as liypoclioiidriasis, liysterics,
dyspepsia or indigestion, loss of appetite, head-
ache, giddiness, &c. no remedy can be found
more, or evcriso effectual as these pills ; and for
fever and ague, these pills are a. sure preventive.
Also for salt-rlieum, these pills are a sovereign
remedy‘. They cleanse the stomach, remove
therefrom all vitiated bile, purify and refine the
blood. VVill_ never fiiil to eradicate entirely, all
the effects of mercury infinitely sooner than the
most powerful preparations of sarsapa.rilla.—-
Does a person feel a loss of appetite, and a. bad
taste in the mouth, with 21 fuiiitness or hollow-
tress of the stornacli, a few doses of these pills
are sure to remove all such difiieulties and
speedily set matters to rigl t. If one feels a
particular lieitviness, is dull s copy, and sluggish
in action, with or without yellowiiess of com-
plexioii, these pills will surely and speedily re-
move all such ailments. It is not pretended
that these pills are a certain cure for all dis-
eases ; that; they will cure, without the use of
any other means, a continued consumption, or 8.
settled fever ; but it is pretended, and asserted
without fear of its ever being contradicted, that
even in such cases, no other cathartic medicine
can be given with better advantage, and that the
timely use ofthese pills may prevent the occur-
rence ofany such formidable disease.
These pills are to be taken at bed—time every
night, for ti week or fortnight, according to the
disease. The usual dose is from three to, six,
according to the constitution of the person.
They usually operate within ten or twelve hours,
and veryseldoni give pain. They uiay be taken
by the most; delicate, under any circumstance.
The proprietor deems it unnecessary to add
to this it long‘ list of recomin~-ntlations of great
men, or of fictitious names, as is sometimes done
‘to cheatithe unwary, nor ofecrtificates of cures
performed. He knows the valtte ofthe pills to
be sttch that he wisl'i_es them to stand or fall by
their own merits, and will only add, try them and
be convinced, and then you will say, one halfof
their value has not been told.
Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by
the Proprietor, Bridgeport, Conn.
Price twenty-five cents per box.
