Whether this will be wright, or whether it wiu
be wrong, it is not for mo to decide, for I have not
seen the testimony in the case.
A majority of the Committee on Elections, as J
you are aware, nas expresseu lis opinion on

majorities; but it has not yet officially reported the
fact. I may err in my calculations, but it is my
unqualfiod opinion that, right or wrong, the New
Jersey Loco Foco Delegation will be in their seats
boforc next Saturday night.
As soon as this vexed question is .settled, and its
adjudication may cause some acts of confusion and
violence, the sub-treasury bill will be taken up and
passed without much-delay. Not more than three
or four days debate -will bo allowed it before it is
forced through the House, by the application of
the Previous Question. The sub-treasury dill
disposed of, the contested election between Mes
srs. Naylor and Ingersoll will be taken up.

retire to the classic retreat, and lawns, and saloons

by the Harrison and Tyler men of Ross, io
inarch from Chillicothe for Columbus, on the
19th inst. to attend the State Convention of the
23d ; all good men and true, disposed to join the
expedition, arc requested to cuter their names,
and advised to " procure each a tin cup and a
knapsack, with four day's rations."
The Ohio Confederatejpublished at Columbus
and heretofore a Jackson Van Buren paper,
has come out openly for Harrison, and the edi-
tor avows his determination to support him for
the next Presidency.
Vhe Scioto Gazette, published at Chilicotho,
says : " We hoar every day of new recruits to
the cause of Old Tippecanoe."
It is quite plain that the Buckeye State is in
earnest in support or its well tried son. That
the Log Cabin candidate will carry the whole
West, is already beyond a reasonable doubt.
FROM HARRISBURG.
February 20.

Loco-Foco defaulters is a caution. The lands of
W. P. Harris, defaulter, of Mississippi, who was
only $00,000 minus in his accounts, were recently
levied on. They were estimated at $30,000, and
sold for 300 the brother of the defaulter purchas
ing it. The Marshall took an opportunity to put it
up when no other person was present.
Arkansas is moving vigorously in favor of
Harrison. The popular feeling is carrying all
before it.

At Easton, on the 7th inst., by the Rev. B. C.
Tti tt, TTmicp 1 ihr Rank Commissioners bill was ! Wolf. Mr. William II. Lawall, of Easton, to Miss
amin considered in committee of the whole, j Mary Biddcnbcndcr, of Newark, N.J.
After two or three questions ljad been taken on
unimportant amemdments, on motion of Mr.
Hopkins, the committee rose, and leave to sit
again was refused, so that on Monday next the
bill will come up on second reading. A bill in
relation to Justices of the Peace was then con
sidered in committee of the whole, and passed.
In Senate, a motion to postpone the orders of
the day, for the purpose'of taldng up the Bank
bill was made, and it requirng two thirds was
negatived. The vote stood 19 to 10 in favor of
the motion. The vote was in no respect a party
vote. I perceive by the papers that much appre
hension prevails on the subject of the action of
the Legisla'ure upon the bank question. I do
not consider that there is any cause whatever
for fear. I regard it as settled, that nothing will
be done to materially affect the banks. They
will have their day for resumption, and the ge
neral law will be such as the banks will acqui
esce in.
The capitol was the scene of a.very disgrace
ful act to daylh"oLtttact of a member of the
Senate, by a member of the House, and for a
cause not originating in any Legislative or per
sonal matter. The parties were Mr. McElwee
and Mr Barely. They met in the rotunda be
tween the two chambers, when McElwee, with
out further notice than "you d d rascal," struck
Mr. Barclay -with his cane. The blow was re
peated several times, with an attempt to draw
the iword from the stick, when Mr Barclay
went intotthehall of Representatives, andseized
."l cane convenient to the door for self defence.
They were, at this stage, interrupted by a rush
and separated. Neither party is much hurt,
though Mr B. has marks on his forehead; but
the legislature is disgraced which permits scenes
withinMs very halls, without notice. The only
cause'Tor the attact known to Mr. Barclay, was
the Jpservice of a notice to plead," in a certain
sultan which Mr. B. is the attorney, and Mr.
McE. a defendant, which service was made in
the morning. I make no further comments.
