Gentlemen,—I thank you most_sincerely for this avowal of your approbation. From the patience which you have exercised to- wards me, individually and collectively, on the floor and out of the House, I am induced to receive this vote as something more than a mere matter of form. The anticipations which I indulged at the commencement of the session, have been abundantly realized. A large amount of business, public and pri- vote, has been dispatched, rapidly indeed, but rightfully, we hope. Uncommon regularity, dignity and harmony have been preserved. The praise for this belongs exclusivelyto you. The house has kept itself in order from the sense of propriety, and the habits of courtesy which mark the intercourse of gentlemen. An assemblage like this coming together so soon after the warm political conflict which gave it birth, and differing so widely on the icy. yet expressing that difference freely and boldly. as men should, but without passion, and without bersonality, furnishes an exam- ple which will be profitable hearafter, here, and elsewhere; and prrsents a spectacle which will cheer those who had begun to despair of the Republic. We are now about to be separated, most of us forever. But I trust that wherever we may go. the friendships which have been be ' got. round,’ the question resolved itself tformed here. and the associations which have into the single fact that the Governor had prsotituted himself. Mr. W. said he had soineylittle feeling upon this question, but therewas, heconceived, no use in throwing away ‘his wind’ upon this question. Yeas and nays ordered. Mr. White was opposed to yeas and trays, and he thoughtthc way every one would vote was known. been created, will never be erased. from our memories. For my own pan, [can truly say such will be the case: and in allafter life, whatever may be,my lot, Whethgf it be fraught with evil or with good, I will look back to the incidents of this session with pleasure, and will think on the-vote with gratitude and praise. .

Enniirnon, who has been arrested for extensive, forgeries, was a native of Woodbury, New Jersey. He resided many years in'New York, having formerly been married and deserted hiswife in Ohio. His forgeries were practised undiscovered man years, and it was with extreme difliculty he was detected. For the purpose of identify- ing his handwriting, his letters to several la- dies were procured, andthis resulted in con- firming all_ former suspicions. Some New York police ofiicers were despatched to Philadelphia, with a description of his per- son. They found out his residence, and having waited in an opposite house, he appeared. He was invited by an officer to‘ attend upon a patient in a neighboring street, and when they reached the house, their ob- ject was disclosed to him. He was highly indignant at first, and spoke of his connex- ions and the imposibility of his doing such and act. Some proofs of his guilt were shown him, and bail to the amount of $30,- 000 required, when his courage failed and he burst into tears. He was immediately taken to prison, and upon examining his lodgings, abundant evidence was found of his guilt. He had immense quantities of rich wearing apparel, and a splendid set of jewelry, intended as a present to the lady to whom he was about to be married!

On the night ofthe 22st ult. there was aland slide of about 300 feet bringing the water near the houses. The current has changed so as to throw its fury on the batik immediately in front of the town. If the current continues in its present direction, the property ofthe citizens must in-' evitably be ingulfed, as the ‘bank is comin- ually cruinbling, and sometimes in very large slides. About a month since, a boat lzinded and discharged considerable freight, we are told and before the drays arrived to receive it, a slide occurred which took with it all the freight.—St. Louis Bulletin.

As to hard ci- der, it won’t do to abuse it—it is the daily drink of the farmers of our land, and they are not inteniperate. Those who do not in- tend to vote for grneral Harrison had better sink the hard cider and the log cabin. Presence of Mind.—A few days ago, says the Trenton Gazette, as a train of cars from Camden was approaching the three loclis, principal question of Stats; and National pol- ‘near Lamberton, the engineer discovered a boy lying between the rails at a short dis- tance in advance, and apparently fast asleep. He saw at once that he could not stop the train entirely, before reaching the place where the boy was lying, and if the boy should be awakened, he would probaby jump up just in time to throw himself in the way of the train. He therefore put the engine at the top of its speed, and dashed over the boy as quickly as possible. He then stopped and returned to see whether any injury had been done to him. He was discovered among the bushes on the side of the road, running offas fast as he could. ‘ On being called back it was found that he had escaped almost allinjury. ‘ One of his feet happening to lie near the rail, the flange ofthe wheel had cut off a part of the flesh of the heel, but had not-touched thoybonc. ’ ‘ ' S E’LE CTE D S U_‘M MA R Y.

The growing crops are_ also re- presented as very promising. As large quantities of flour and wheat are being sent to Europe, the VVest need have no fear that produce, although low, will rot on their hands. Horrible _llIurder.—The Hollidaysbltrg (Pennsylvania) Register gives the particulars of a shocking affair in Hill Valley, in that State. The-wife of a Mr. Brown, and her five children, were killed, the former by having her throat cut, and the children by blows from a club, or shot from a gun. The bodies were found in different directions near their dwelling. Brown, the husband. and his son in-law McConahy, and M’C_ot_iu- liy’s brother have been arrested on suspicion of being the murderers. The two latter tell contradictory stories. It is intimated that intemperance was the exciting cause of the foul decds.—Palla.dium.

On the charge of perjury, a majority of the Court having de- clared him not guilty, the Court dismissed the charge of perjury. On the charge of having corruptly liberated Gourley and Mrs. Packwood from prison, the Court were equally divided in opinion, and he was there- fore declared not guilty of the charge.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE i7.-1840. FOR PRESIDENT. VVILLIAIK HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio. A FOR VICE PRESIDENT, Jomv 'nLia:1i, of virgrnra._ GEORGIA.--The convention ofthe State Rights party recently held at Milledgeville, was atten- ded by 230 delegates, the largest number, says the National Intelligencer, that ever assembled before in convention in that State. In regard to the question as to candidates to be voted for as President and Vice President of the United States, the Convention was so nearly unani- motis in favor of Harrison and Tyler, that there was only one dissenting vote upon it. A very strong Electoral ticket was formed, with the dis- Iinguished name of George R. Gilmer at the head of it. For Congress, six of the present Representa- tion were nominated for re-election with hardly a dissenting voice, viz. Dawson, Nizbet Haber- sham, King, Alford, Warren; and in lieu of the three present Members, Messrs. Ganible, Meriwetlier, and Foster were nominated.

No Frenchman or Spaniard consid- ers his family coinplele without Mr. and Mrs. Troy, and a goodly number of younger Trays. Qften in the silence ofthe night have we heard the sudden tones of dissatisfaction from some neighboring Jowler, when, as if the whole re- gion were one extended kennell, there would be such a universal cliorus,,modiilnted to every ' "compass of throat, and suited to any key ever l struck by mortal dog, as would lead a person to think himself within the confines of some pan-e demonium of dogs.
