At length he asked for a room and a bed. He was told that every room in the hou?e was occnpied and that the best thinff they could do for him was to make him a tem- viorary bed on thc floor. To this he did not object, and bivouacked for the night o:i a blanket spread ovcr the bare carpet. The mnrttfication of the landlord may be imagincd when he found ont, on the next dav, that the stately rooms prepared for liis Excellency were unoccupicd and waiting, while the Governor himself had bcen obliged to take quarters on the floor.

Dr. TRIAL AHD EXECUTION OP CHARLOTTE CORDAY. From LamartlDes HUtoiy of the Glrondbits. When she was scated on the bench of thc pris oncrs, she was asked ifshe had adcfcndcr. She replicd that a fricnd had nndertaken this office, but not seeing him, she sapposed his conragcfail ed him. The Prcsident then assigned hcr thc young Chauveau Lagarde, afterward illustrious by his defencc of the Queen, and alrcady famous for his cloqncnce and courage in canses and times when the adrocatc shared the penl of his chent. Chaveau Lagarde placed himself at thc bar. Charlotte gazcd onhim, as though she fcarcdlest, to sare hcr lifc, hcr defcnder would abandon somc part of hcr honor. The widow of Marat wcpt while giring her evioence. uuariottc, nioveu Dy ner gnci, ex claimcd 'Yes, yes "twas I that killed him.' She then rclated the premeditation of the act for thrce months her projcct of stabbing him in the Convention; and the riue she had cinploycd to obtain access to him. 'I confess,' said she, with humility, 'that this means wa3 unwortliy of me; but it was ncccssa ry to nppear to cstecm this raan in order to ob tain access to him. 'Who inspircd yoa with this Iiatrcd of Marat?' Shc was asked. 'I did not need the hatrcd of any onc elsc,' she rcplicc.

'I look on him as a man dcvoid of principles; and I despise him.' The accuscr rcproached her with having dealt the fatal stroke downward, in order to rcndur it more ccrtain, and observcd she must be wcll excrciscd in crinie. At this suggcs tion, vhich dettroved all her idcas, by ass:mi- lating her to profcsscdmurdcrers, she uttercd a cry ot liorror. 'Oh, the monstcr!' cxclaimcd she, 'he takes me lor an assassin Fouquicr Tinvillesummed up, and demand- vu that sentence olueath shoulu uc passeu. Ilcr defenderrose.

She heard thcir verdict unmoed; nnd the prcsident having askcd her if ihe had anything to say relativc to thc punishruent inflicted on her. she inade no reply but, turning to her dcfender, 'Monsieur,' said shc, 'you have de fcndcd me ai I wish to be defended I thank you I owe you a proof of my gratitudc and estccm, and I ofTer you one worthy of you. Tliese gcntlcmcn (pointing to the judges) havejut dcclared my property confiscatcd I owe somcthing in thc prison, and I icqucath to you the payment of this dcbt.' i)uring hcr csamination, she observcd a paintcr engaged in taking her likeness; with out intcrrupting the cxamination, she sniiling Iy turned towara the a'rtist, in order that he niightthe bettcr scc her features. She thought of inunortality, and alrcady sat for her portrait to immortality. Bcliind the painter stood a young man, whose fair hair, blue cycs, and pale complcx ion, markcd him for a native of the Xorth. His eycs were riveted on thc prisoner andat cach reply, he sliuddercd and changcd color. Ile seemed to drink in hcr words, and associ ate himself by gesturc, attitude, and cnthusi asm, nith the sentiments shc cxpresscd. Un able frc-fiucntly to repress his cmotion, he drew to himself, by lnvoluntary cxclamations, thc attcntion ofthc audicnce and of Charlotte Corday. At the moment when the Prcsident passcd scntcnce of dcath, the young man rose from hisseat, with the gesture of a man who protcsts from the bottom of hisbcart, and then sunk back, as though his strcngth had failed him. Charlotte, inscnsible. to hcr own fate, perceived this movcmcnt, and comprehend cd that, at thc moment when nll on carth had abandoned hcr, akindrcd spirit attached itself to hcrs, and ihat, amidst this hostile or indifler ent thrang, she possessed an unknown friend, and she thankcu him with a look. 'I his stranger was Adam Lux, a Gcrman republican, sent to I'aris by thc revolutionists of Mavence, to concert the movcmcnts of Germany with those of Francc, in the comraon cause of human rcason and the libcrty ofthe people. Ilis eycs followcd Charlotte, until she disappeared amidst the gens (T arms beneath the arch of the stairs. His thoughts never quitted her. On her return to the Conciergcrie, which was so soon to yicld hcr up to thc Kcaflbld, Charlctte Corday smilcdon her companions in prison, who had ranged themsclvesm the cor ridors and courts to see her pass. She saidto the conciergo 'I had hoped that we should breakfast togeth er once more, but the judges detained me so long that you must forgive me for having bro ken my word.' The executioner arrived; she requcstcd him to allow hertime tofinish her letter,which was neithcr the outpouring of weakness nor regret, but the last act of wounded friendship addressing an oternal reproach to the cow ardly spirit which had abandoned her. It'was addressed to Doulcet dc Pentecoul ant, whom she had seen at her aunts, and on whom she belioved she had called in vain to be her dcfender. The Ietter was as follows 'JJoulcet de Pentecoulant is a coward to have rcfused to dcfend me when it was soea sr. He who undcrtook it. perfonned his task with all poisible dignity, and I shall retain a grateful recollection of him to my last mo ments.' Her indignation was unjust t'.e young Pen tecoulant, wno was absent Jror 1'ans, hau not received her letter his eenerosity and cour age were a sufficient guaranty that he would have accepted the oflicc and Charlotte bore an error and iniustice to the scaflbld. The artist who had sketched Charlotte's like ness at the tribunal, was Til. Ilauer, a painter and olhcer ot the JNational uuard, ot the sec tion of the Thcatre Francais. On her return to the prison,she requestcd theconcierge to al low him to hnish his work, and, on his arnval, Charlotte thankcd him for tho intcrest he ap neared to take in hcr.and nuictlv sat to him. as thougbjwhile shc permitted him to transmit hcr torm anu leatures to postcnty, she aiso cnarg- eu hira to uana uown her mind and hcr pat riotism to unborn gencrations. She convcrsed with M. Haucr on his profession, the events of theday, and the peace of mind shc felt af tcr thc eiecutionot her design shealsospoke of her young friend at Cacn, and rcquested him to paint a miniaturc from thc portrait,and send it to hcr family. Suddenlv a knock was heard at thc door, and the executioner entered. Charlotte,turn ing round, perceived the scissors and red che mise he carried ovcr his arm. What! already,' cxclaimed shc. turning pale. Then recovenng her composure, and glan nf llio nnfinisbpd nnrtrnit. 'TVfonsieur.' saicf she to the artist, 'I know not how to thank you for the troublo you have taken; I have only this to ofTer you. Keep it in mcmory of your kindness and my gratitude.' As she spokc, she took the scissors from the executioner, and severing a lock of hcr long fair hair, gave it to M. Haucr. This portraitjinterrupted by death, is still in the possession of the family of M. Ilauer. The head only was paintcd, and the bust merc ly sketched. But the painter, who watchcd tho preparations for the scaflbld, was so struck with thc sinister splcndcr addcd by the rcd chemise to thc beauty of his modcl, that after Charlotte s death, he painted hcr in thie cos- tume. A pricst, scnt by the pubhc aecuser, pre- scnted himself to ollcr the last consolation of religion. 'Tliank,' siiid she to him, 'those who have had the attcntion to send you but I need not your ministry: The blood 1 have spilt,and my own which I am about to shed,are the only sacrificcs I can ofTer the Eternal.' The exe cutioner then cut off her hair, bound hcr hands and put on the chemisedes contlemnes. 'This,' said shc, 'is the toiltt of dcath, arrangcd by somewhat rude hands, but it leads to immor tality.' She collected hcr long bair.looked at it for the last time, and gave it to JMadam Eichard. As shc niouotcd the fatal cart, a violent storni broke ovcr Taiis, but the lightuing and rain did not dispersc tho crowd who blocked iip the squarcs, thc bridgcs, and the strcets which she pased. llordes ot womcn or ratncr iu- ncs, followcd her with the hcrcest lmpreca tions but inscnsible to these insults, she gaz cd on the populaco with eyes beaming with serenity and compassion. Tlie sky cleared up, and the rain wnipn wctted lier to the skin, displayed the exquis- ileymmery of herform.likc thatof a woman lcaving the balh. Hcr hands bound behind her back, obliged her to hold up her headj and thisforced rigidity of the musclcii gave more fixity to her attitude, and set ofi' the outlines ofher figure. Tho rays of the set- ting sun fcll on her head and her complex- ion, hcightened by the red chemise. seemed of an unearthly brilliancy. Robcspierre, Danton, and CamilleDesmouIins, liad plac ed themsclveson her passage, to gaze on lipr fnr nll ihose who anticipated assaisina tion wcrecurious tostudy in hcr features the oxprcssion of that fanatieism which might tlireatcn them on the morrow. She resera bled celestiol vengcaoce appcaecd and trann figured,nnd from time to time seemed lo sceka "lance of intclliircnce on which her eye could rcst. Adam Lus aw.iited the cart at the en- trance ofthe Rue St. Honore. and followed it to the foot ol Ihe scaflbld. 'He engraved in his heart,' lo quote liis own words, 'ihU unutterable sweeiness, amid ihe barbarous outcries of ihe crow d, that look so gentle yel pcnetrau'ng those vivid flushes that broke Ibrtli liko burning ideas from those bright eycs, in which spoke a soul as intrepid as lendcr. Charming eyes which should have mclted a stone.' Thus an entliusiasticand unearthly attach- ment accompanied lier, without her knowl edge, to Ihe vcry scafiold, and prepared to fol low her. in hope of an clernal re-utiion. The cart Etoppcd, and Charlotte, at the sight of the fatal lnstrumcnt, turned paic, uut, soonre covcring herself, asccnded the scafTold with as lig'ut and rapid a stcp as the long chemise and hcr pmioncd arms permitted. When the ex ecutioner, to bare hcr neck, rcmovcd thc hand kcrchicf that coTercd hcr bosom, this insult to her modcsty raovedhcrmoro than herimpcnd- .1 "n-.r ing dcath; then, turning to me guiuounc, she placed herself undcr thc ax. The heavy blade fcll, and hcr head rolledon the scafTold. One of the assistants, named Lcgros, took it in his hand and struck it on the chcek. It issaid that a deep crimson suffusion overspread the face, as though dignity and modesty had lor an instant lasted longer, even, than life. Such was the dcath of Marat such were the life and death of Charlotte Corday. In the face of murder, history docs not praise, and in the face of beroism, dares not condemn hcr. The appreciation of such an act places us in the tcrnblc alternative of blaming virtueor ap plauding assassination. Like the pain ter who, rieenairin"- of renderinir the expression of a mingled sentimcnt, east a vcil ovcr tho face of the hgure, we must leave tnis mysicry io uc dcbatedin the abysses of the human heart. There are deeds of which men are no judges, and which mount, without appeal, dircct to the tribunal of God. There arc human ac tions so strange a mixture of weakness and strength, pure mtent and culpable means, er ror and truth, murder and. martyrdom, thatwe know not whetherto term them crime or vir tue. The culpable devotion of Charlotte Cor day is among those acts which admiratiop and horror would leave eternally in doubt, did not nioralitv reprove them. Had we to fiud for this sub'lime liberatrix of her country, and generous murdcrcss of a tyrant, aname which should at once convey the cnthusiasm of our f-pllntrt tnnrnrH hpr nnd thc SCVCrlty of OUT judgnfent on her action, we would coin aphrase combining the extreme oi aumirauuu uuu horror, and term her tho Angel of Assassi nation. A few days afterward, AdamLux publishcd the 'Apology of Charlotte Conlay,' and asso ciated himself with her decd, in order to share her martyrdom. Arrested and sent to the Ab baye, he exclaimed, as he entered the prison, 'I shall die, then, for her.' Ho perishcd soon after, saluting, as the altar of Libcrty and lovc, the scaflbld which the blood of his niodel had hallowed. The beroism of Charlotte was sung by the poct Andre Chcnicr, who was himselt so soon to die for that common fatherland of aii great souis pure HDerty.

Taylor last wect, trom an othccr who was with him on thc liio Grande. It illustratcs thc substantial, scnsiblc charactcr of this patriotic and bravc old man. While ho was at Matamoras, impa- tient for his supplics, watchins cvcrv boat that arrivcd, and going on board of each of them making anxious lnquirics tor lettcrs and despatches, it happened that onc boat brought up the famous Gencral Pillow, with scvcral other ofliccrs. Pillow was in full drcss, with sword, cpaulcttcs, and sash on, and bcing tho particular fricnd, as wcll as law partncr, of the President, he thought it was nis uuty ta catccnise tne oia uenerai, as n ne were a more subaltcrn. But Gencral Taylor, like Washington, always kept his own army sccrets, cxccpt when he called a council of war, and souglit advicc. Ile at tirst treateu the impcrtincnt officer with as much civilijy as he thought due to his inexpericnco as a mil itary man. At last, with a grcat deal of pom- posity, the renowncd Pillow remarkcd, "Oen. Taylor, if I were in chicf command, I should divide my forces into two dilTerent co!- umns, anil raarch torthwith, by two dittercnt routes upon Jlontcrcv. iir, said ucn, Tavlor, with trcmcndous cmphasis upon thc word oir, witn your nmiicu Knowicugn of tactics and total ignorancc of locahtics, J doubt not you would." Pillow was dmnb for some time aftcr this Neic Havcn Palladium. The Womex in Arms. Thcy had a con vention at Watcrloo, New York, and adopted a declaration of rights," aftcr the form and fashion of the Declaration of Indepcndence.in which they supply tho omission of the immor tal author of tho latter documcnt declaring that all men and tcomen are created equal, and are endowed by their oreator witn qcrtain inalienable rirhts." They, to prove that "the history of mankind isa history of repcatcdMn- junes and usurpations on ine panpi man to wards woman, having in direct object the es taHishmcnt of an absolute tyranny ovcr hcr," "submit to a' candid world" a statement of their grievanccs such as not pcsscssing thc nght to thc elective franchise, being compelled to submit to laws in which she has no voice, be ing civilly dead in the eye ofthe law, and be ing tnade morally an irresponsiblc being. The list concludes with a determmation to insist that women have immediate admission to all thc rights and privileges which bclonc to them as citizens of these United States. Theyfur ther say, that in entering upon the great work, thcy cxpect no small amount of misrcpresent ation and ridicule, but that thcy shall uso eve ry instrumentality within their power to efTect their object. They design to employ agents, circulate tracts, petition the state and national legislatnres, and endeavor to enlist tho pulpit and the press in their behalf. A party may soon be lookcd for fonnded upon this idea. The ffiime will come with tho organization. Frce Woman's party" would be very cxpres sive, and quite fascinatinj.

The time occupicd by us in preparing the Eroccedings ofthe AVhig State Convention, eld in Middletown yesterday, prevents us from adding many comments in rcgard to the meeting. Butwc take the prcsent opportuni ty ofsaying that it was one ofthe most har monious and cnthusiastic Conventions that we have attended for many years. In this we were somewhat surpriscd, foi wchadsupposcd that among all thc delegatcs, somc would be snuigglcd in for purposcs of mischief and dis cord, and even disorganization afld that tbo cxample ofthe Allcns and Wilsons ofthe National Convention, would be followed by a fewif not more dclegates ofthe State Con vention. But we were rejoiccd to know that there was not cvcu a murmur of discOntcnt throughout the assemblage during tho cntire day. At the informal "meeting ofthe delegatcs on Tucsdnj cvcning, full accounts were given of the political state of fceling in all patts ofthe Cooimonwealth In these mcetings there has rarcly been any disposition to conceal any dc fccts or discouragements when they have ex isted, and we presumc there was none on 1 ucsday evcning and we are happy to say that the accounts from all quarters were most chcciing. Some apathy existcd in some towns, as is oftcn thc case so long bcforc an clcction but in othcrs there was an cxccllcnt spirit existing anu no whcrc was there anv scnous disaflection. On thocontrary.largeacccssions from the Cass ranks wcrc anticipated, and with great reason. The Yan Burenitcs were rcganlcd asbut a littlcmorc imposing than the old Liberty Party. in nll thc discussions ot thc session,tho most fricndly fceling was manifcsted, and an unu sual dcgrcc of good humor and confidcncc in the overwhelming succcss ofthe Whigtiekct univcrsally prevailed. We did not mcet with an lndiviuual who cxpresscd any uoubts or feare ofthe result of the clcction. New Ha- ven Palladium.

Although it is not my purposc, during the rccess of Congrcss, to addrcss public asscmb lies on political subjects, I have felt it my du ty lo comply with your rcqucst, as neighlors and townsmcn, and to mcct you to-day. I am not unwilling to avail myself of this occasion to siguify to thc pcople of the United States my opimons 'ipon the present state of our pub lic allairs. I shall perlbrm that duty certainly with grcat frankness I hope with candor. It is not my purpose to-day to endeavor to carry any pomt to act as any man'sadvocate to pnt up or put down any" body. I wish, and 1 proposc, to address you in the language and in the spirit of coufcrence and consul tation. In the prcsent cxtraordinary crisis of our public conccrns, I dcsire to hold no man's con sciencc but my own. My own opimons I shall communicatc frcc ly and fearlessly, with cqual disrcgard io con sequences, whcthcr thcy rcspcct mysclf orrc speci others. We arc on the cve of a highly important Presidcntial clection. In two orthrcenionths the pcople of this country will be called upon to elcct a Prcsident of the United Stntrs and all sce and all feel that thc great inlcrcsts of the country are to be afleetcd, for good or c vil, by the rcsults of that election. Of thc intercsting subjects over which thc pcrson who shall bu electcd iiiiist ncccssarily cxercisc more or lcss control, there arc cspc cially thrce, vitally eonnectcd, in my judg ment, with the honor and happincss of thc countir. In thc first place, the honor and happincss-. ofthe countrj- lmpcrativcly rcquire that there shall be a chicf magistratc clccteil who shall not plungc us into l'urther wars of ambition aud couqucst. In my judgmcnt, the intcrests ofthe coun try and the feelings of a vast majority rcquire tliAt a Prcsident of these United States should be electcd, who will neithcr uso olficial influ- ence to promote, nor who lecls any dcsire m his hcart to promotc the furthcr cxtcnsion of sla-cry in this commumty, ipreat chccTinri,) or thc furthcr inllucnccs of it in thc public councils. In thc third place, if I have any just csti matc if an cxpcricncc, (not now a short onc,) in public afTairs has cnabled me to know any thinfr of what the public prospcrity dcmar.d In the next place I say, ihat the statc ofthc country does rcquire an essentiat relorm m the svstcm of revcnuo and finance, such a shall rcstorc the prospcritv. bv promoting thc industry and fosterinr thc labor of thc coun try in its various branches. There are other things impcrlant. I will not allude to them. These thrce I ho!d escn tial. Thcrc arc thrce candidates prcscntcd toth clioico ofthc Amcrican people.

He has bcen known, and is known only by his brill iant achicvements atthe head of an army. Now the Whigs of Massachusetts, and I a- mongsttbcm, arcof opinion that itwas not wise nor discrcct, to co tothe army for Ihe se- lcction of a candidate for the Prcsidtncy of the Unilcu blutes. Jt is thc hrsl instance in our history in which my raan of iuerc mil itary charactcr has been proposcd for that hiirh office. Gen. Washington was a grcat mililary charactcr: but bj far a grentcr civil charac ter. He had been cmployed in the councils of his country from the ca'rliest dawn of the Revolution he had been in ihe Conlinental Congress he had esiablishetf a grcat char actcr for civil wisdomnnd judgment. After thc war, as you know, he was elect cd a member of ihat Convention which form ed thc Constituiionofihe United Siatcs;and it i one ofthe most honcrable tribules cvcr paid to him, that by that assembly ol good and wise men he was selecled to preside o ver their dehberaiions. And he put his name, first and foremost, to the Con3titution under which we live. President narri3on wasbred a soldier,and at difTerent periods cf his life rendercd impor tant mililary services. But Prcsident Harri son neveriheless, wap. for a much jrreaici pc riod of his life', employcd in civil, than in military service. For twenty years hcwasi eiiher Governor ofthe Terriiory, rocmberj ofoneortbe othcr Houses of Congress. or Minister abroad and discbargcd all these dutiesto thefatisfaetionofhis country. This case, thcrcfore, siands by ilself; wiihout precedent or jusliGcation from nny thiiiC in our previoun history. It is on this account, as 1 imagiue, that ihe Whigs ol Massachusctts feel dissatisficd with this nom ination. Thcrc may be others there are others they are, pcrhaps,of lcssimporlance and mora casily to 'jt ansncred. If I mny venture lo use a' raereanlile ex--pression,l may now vtniure tosay. ihat ihcre ia another side to this nccount. The impar tiality wilh which I propose to dischargemy duly to-day, Icads me to consider of that. Antl in the next place, ilis to be considered. that Gen. Taylor has been nomitiatcd by a Whig Convention, hohicn in conformity witlr :he usagesof the Whig pariy.- and by thc" pariy inirly nominated, so lar aa 1 know. It is lo be cotisidered. nlso. that he is the only Whig bcforc the people, as acandidate lor the Presidency; nnd no citizen of iho" country with unyelfect caii vote for nny other hi, ici nis prcierences ocwiiul tliey might or may be.- In Ihe next place, ii is proper to consider ihepcrsonal clmnioier nf Cnn. T.vln, n,f his political opinions, rclalionsyand conncc- iions, so i.irus incy arc known. Now, xenllcmcii. in advanrin m n fi-t observalions on ihis partof ihe lase, I wish everyhouy Io tindcreiand that I have nonpr- sonal acquaiutaiice whafevcr wilh Gen. Tny-r lor.

That is ndmiited by all. Wilh me. all lhatnes hut liuln wnv try nnkcout thc proncr oualiliraiiiii,s for 1'resi' dcnl ofthc United States. Butwluit ismore miportnnt. I bclicve ihat he is an cntirely honcsl ntul uprigiit man. I hchrvc that hc is modcst, clear-headed, of indi-p nilent and uianly cliaraclcr, posseusing a mind traired by proper disciplu;e anil self control. I bi lievc thai he is .siimahlc and nniiiibie in nll ihe rclalioos ofprivnie life. 1 believe Ihat he possesies a reputation fur rnuilv nnd fiur jiulgmeni which gives liim n infiuuncc over tliose undcr lus command, bcyond what 19 conlcircd by the aulhoiily of slaiion.

Gentlcmen, my Crst acquaintance in public life witb Mr. Van Bureu was wbcn he was prcsjing, with great power, the election of Mr. Crawfordto the Presidencr, against Mr. Ad- ams. -lr. urawioni was uui AdamJ was. Mr. Van Burcnwas in the Sen atenearlythe wholeof tbat Administration and during the rcmainder, he -was Govemor nf ihe State of New Yorlc. And it is notori- ous, that he was the oul and centre, through- out the whole or Mr. Adams tenn. ot tde op posilion niade to him. And he did more to prevent Mr. Adams's election in 182S, and to obtain Gcn. Jackton's election than any man yes, than any ten men. Gcn. Jackiou was cboscn. Mr. Van Bu ren was appointed his Sccretary of State. It so happened that in July 1829, Alr. McLane wnnt tn Enland lo arrare tho controverted, difficult and ditputed point on the subjnct of trade. Mr. Adams liaa Iieia a mgn tone on tbat $ubject. He had demanded, as a recip rocity and a riaht, the introduction of our pro ducts into allparts of the British territory freely;since Great Britain was allowed to bring her produce into the United States up on the same tenns. Mr. Adams placed tbis upon terms of rcciprocity and justice. Great Britain would not yield. Mr. Van Burcn in his instructions to Mr. McLane, told him to yiild that qutstion of right; and then went on to say, that the adminiitration in which he was "Sccretary of State that is Gen. Jackson's otiffht not to be debarrcd in England by the nglih govcninieiJt from tbe enjoymcnt of tliat winvn CC was wming io can noi a rigm, but a boon, or a priiilegc.

(l'amphltt oa Texas, pajo 4. 1811.) The Election. We givc below the rcturns ofthe Election in this State, so far as receive d up to the time of going to press. It will be sccn that thc Whigs, in spite of tbe formidablc opposilion a gainst which they have bad to contend, have ftilly maintaincd thcir position, and, instcad of bcing wcakened, havc increascd in strcngtb, since last ycar. In this Congressional District, Alr. Marsh wants a few votes of bcing clccted, but will, tvilhout doubt, bc choscn on a sub sequcnt trial. Thero is also no cboice in tbe 2d and 4th Districts. Thcrc is no choicc of Governor by tho peoplc, but tbere will bc a good working majority on joint ballot, in the Legislaturc, securing the election of Coolidgc, and a Whig U. S. Senator. The majority in tbe Ilouie will be eomcwhat increascd from last ye'ar. It will hc seen tliat Old Addison main tains an unbrokcn front. In Middlebury, thc focal point ofthe great Free Soil" opcration, wlicro tbe coalition wa3 first formed, and where Uco ofthe great lights of "Free Democ racy" (bcing rcsidents) have excrtcd thc full cxtent of their influence, thcrc is, it will bc sccn, an increase of thc Whig votc from last ycar. In Cornwall, where William Sladc madc a spccial cfTort, just before tbe election, there is a gain of 23 Whig votes. Salisbury, we understand, clectcdits Roprcscntativcwith but one dissenting vote 1 In Vergennes, on thc Represcntativc votc, a Whig gain of 1C is rcportcd. From the reports rcspecting thc city, put in circulation by onr Free Soil" neighbors, we had calculated on quitca differ" ent rcsult. In Whiting, a staunch Whig town, tho Cass men havc carned their Reprcscnta- tive, through divhions in tbe councils ofthe Whigs. This is our only loss, on the Repre sentative tickct.

Tho 'Frec Soilers'claira thc Represcntativc from Starksboro but if we arc correctly infonncd, Mr. Ferguson is a sound Whig, and wa3 run in opposition to the Free Soil" candidate, icTto had also been a Whitj. If tbis be true, we sec not with wbat propriety our opponcnts claim him. Mr. F. represent ed Starksboro last year, and acted with the Whigs. The Van Burcnites also claim Mr. East man, the Rcprescnta'.ive from Alonkton who rcpresented.tbat town last year, and was a straight-forward and consistert Whig.

Goshen is said to have scnt a Van Buren Representative -but if report speaks correctly, Mr. Capen has hitherto becn a good Whig. Waltham scnds a Cass man as usual.

SENATE. 20 WMgs, Van Barcnlic, Locos, 9 Whig majority l Essex Countj 'not hcard frt-m. A hlS lastycar. Frobable "Whig majority on jolnt ballot 22. For the Galaxy. Mr. Barbctt:. In the Burlington Frce Press. of this date, (Sept. 8th,) in a notice of the death of the late A. H. Stephens of Geor gia, I observed the following 6entencc It will be recollected that it was Mr. Stephens who moved to lay the Compro rnise bil! on the table, and who, with sev en other Whies from thc South, voted with the Northern Whirrs against that peculiarly Southcrii rMasure, at the risk of their scats in thc House" It seems Mr. Clnrke is so haunted by the chnst of thia Compromise bill, that he could not lct slip even thisoccasion to bc stow his reprobation upon it. But is ftlr. Ciarke -irquaiisted with Mr. Steplietib's tiews of that bill If not. I believe I can rulighten him a little on tlie subject. Mr. S. made altogethcr the ablest speech on that subject which was made in the House. He adoptcd prectsely the riews of thc Scnator from Vermont who supported the bill, sustaining the argument of that Scn ator bj illusiratton and authority. The coiiclnsion to which Mr. S. came is best espressed in his own words. Mr. Stcphons commcnced his argument as follows: It is my object to speak at this time npon that measure, which some I4fl'll gcntlemen are pleased to call the tie tora- croinise uni, nut wincn miem he more prnpcrly entitled Artirles of capilulation cn the part of thc South. So far from beins a compromise, the bill proposed nothmg short of an abandonmait of thc posifian of the South, and a surrcndcr of thc just right of hcr pcoplc to an cqual participalion in thc new acqitisitions of irrritory. Thc surrendcr icas covcrt, but it icas no less complctc and absolute." .Mr. S prncecds to say: "This Compro mise bill. Sir, did, in niv opinion, entlnn- cer and stirrciider thc then riuhts of thc South, by a continmtnce of thc munici pal laies nf Mexico, ic.'tich tctre of fnrre at thc timr of thc ronquest, and by jchich Slariry ira aholished thcre.

Bjit it is a little strangc that, fhile this rca-oninj:, thc saine which was uit:cI by thc Vermont Senator, remains unanswcrcd, many opprubrious cpithcts should be Lestowcd spou ihe bill.

The controlling power o vcr disease which this Syrup possesses, may be attributedto the fact that itis composed purely of vegetable extracts, each article in it having a direct reference to some internal organ, conse quently the whole system receives their benefi cial influence, which occasions neither sickness nor pain in their operation, and can be taken at all timcs and nndcr all circumstances without reganl to diet or business, is certainly s desider atum in the historyof mcdicine. This compound extract is put up in quart bottles and offered at tbe low pnce of one dollar per bottle. The ob jcct being to givc the patient an opportunity, by the purchase of one bottle, to tcst its valuable medical properties. and the power it-hasoverdis-ecse.
