No choice. Mr. Bailey read a writen explanation of the difficulty between Meade and Duer apologizing for the recent political controversy on the floor. The difficulty was adjusted, and the House adjourned at quarter past three. Constitutional Convention. The State Journal cf Tuesday contains an article on this subject, in which objection is made to the Senatorial basis, under the existing apportionment law, upon which it has been proposed to tx the representation in the Convention for the revision of the Constitution The Journal parades a formidable list of figures, but only a few arguments. We know not how accurate the figures of the Journal may be, but we are well assured of one thing, and that is, that no new apportionment could possibly be made, which wool be free from the rime objections a to inequality. The very influences and necessities which made the existing apportionment unequal in some instances, will continue to prevail. No man wouhj agree, for instance, to cut up tht counties, so as to create districts uithout regard lit county lnmndarie. And while the small counties outnumber the large ones, we must expect that, by a combination of their representatives, they will gain some advsntsge in any apportionment. This is perfectly natural, and cannot be avoided. Or, if to be avoided at all, it can be only in one way, and that is a way which the State Journal and its friends will not be apt to agree to. We mean, to elect the whole number of delegates by general ticket. In that w sy only can the votes of the whole nia?s of tbe population Lave a perfectly equal weight and bearing. This would give us a Convention of all Democrats, or all Whigs, and we imagine our neighbor would consider auch a result a greater evil than the one of unequal" representation which he deprecates. No great complaint has heretofore- been made against the procnt apportionment, as- the General Assembly is affected. That law was made by the totes of both -rnrtie, and. if any thing, the advan tsge is on the side of the Whigs, and not or that of the Democrats. It is impossible to arrive at any per-1 feet system, especially while our population i continually fluctnatinj and increasing. The legislature may devote a month's time to the subject, and we very much doubt if, after all, they could much if any improve the proposition of tue Senate Gmmittee. To district the State anew, for the election of delegates alone, while the M law remains for Senators and Representatives, might create fatal confusion on the day of election, especially if the Delegates, Senators and Representatives should all le voted for on the same day. This last consideration is enough to settle the question. The Si.aveky Question. The N. O. Ticayune says that Senators Foote of Mississippi, Mangum of N. C, and T. L. Clingman f the. House of Repre entatives from N. C, are preparing A great Com promise bill" to settle the Slavery question. The same paper siatea that it will be sustained by Messrs. Clay, Eenton, and Calhoun. It will provide for the establishment of territorial governments on the desert north and south of California, and makes two States of Texas. It alio provides fir the appointment of a commiiion to decidf the Texas boundary question.

We copy the following articles from tlie Washing, ton Union of Doc. 13. The same paper contain f.ur columns of proceedings in the House, upon the same subject. We shall endeavor soon lo dpy these proceedings, so tbnt Mr. Brown may be placed right, before hi constituent. From tht Union. JVo Speaker yet! We leave it tt our reporter t sketch the scenes which were exhibited on the floor of the House yesterday. We had expected that a democratic Sponker would be elected, end that Mr. William J. Brown of Indiana, was destined to that unenviable honor. The cimin!iK?ement of the ballot w hich was taken immediately on the meeting of the IIoiko wu calcu- . j. c .1 - - i . i la,ed. lo confirm these- im previous ; but three of the southern members, (Messrs. Bocvck and Seddon of Virginia, and Wallace of South Carolina,) who had voted f r him on Tuesday, threw their votes n this occasion, so as to defeat an election. Mr. Brown's vote amounted to 112 114 being the majority of the whole so that he wanted only two votes of" being elected. Mr. Cobb, of Alabnma, had voted for him. Mr. Holmes of South Carolina, voted for Mr. Uwtlon. Mr. Brown received the vote of at least five free-soilers, viz: Messrs. Allen, Durkee, Giddings, Preston King, and Wilmot. Thr threo votes of the southern members, however, defeated the election. A scene then look place in the hall which almost hafil-s description. We tnut refer to our reporter for the proceeding. Mr. Ashmun, of Massachusetts, (au abolition whig,) was the first to address inquiries to the democratic side of the Houe as to any correspondence which had passed between the freesoilers and Mr. Brown, which finally drew from Mr. Brown a long explanation of the position he had oc cupied, and also the production of the letter which he tad addressed to ilr. Wilmot. He concluded by thanking the House for the support which they had given to him, and withdrawing his name from the canvass. The letter which produced so much feelitig in the House, will speak for itself. It surprised many and deeply mortified his former friends; and many of the southern members rose to clear the skirts of his southern supporters of the vote which they had just given to him, and declared that if they could have suspected in the slightest degree his pursuing such a course, thev would never have cast their votes for htm. Messrs. Robinson and Dunham, of Indiana, rose to explain his letter and defend his course. This is not the time, amid the "hurly-burly" of the passing scene, to review all the incidents of this extraordinary transaction. We spoke yesterday of Mr. Brown being "admirably calculated to discharge the duties of the Chair." We deeply regret, and sincerely disapprove, the position in which he has placed himself. V c had hoped to hail him as the peaker of the House. We had regarded him as a politician who was perfectly satisfactory to the South ; and yet so fair in his principles, and so firm in his course, that he would, as a citizen of the whole country, as attached t the Union, and to all her great interests, do full justice, in the designation of the committees and in the m'ministration of the pow ers of the Chair, to all parts of the nation, and to every member. His election is now entirely out of the question, and the democratic party must look for some other candidate to fill the Chair. The whig considered themselves fully defeated when the ballot tonk place. They were thrown into glorious confusion. Their votes were scattered in all directions. And the tender mut therefore conceive with' what delight thev received ti.ese revela tions', and how much they chuck led over the effects which were displayed in the ranks of the republican party. We are not accustomed, however, to "despair of the republic." The democratic party are fortunately not wanting in strong and able leaders to conduct them to victory ; and it is to bo hoped they will yet rally upon oine democrat who will succeed in reaching the Chair. After much debate, and without proceeding to another ballot, the House adjourned in much excitement, at an early hour. A Curd. Tb the Editor m of the Union : Having spoken to-day in the House under much excitement, and, in the confusion which prevailed, presuming no correct report of my remarks will be furnished, I ask, in justice to myself, that you publish this communication. After I had received 53 votes for Speaker, on Monday last, and after the House had adjourned. 1 was sent for to go to the room of a member. When I arrived there, I learned that it was for the purpose of having a conference with Mr. Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, who soon after came into the room. He informed me that they were satisfied with the position of Mr. Potter, of Ohio, and had been ready to vote for him, if the time had arrived when their votes would hire made a choice; that they were willing to vote for me if I would agree to give them fair committees on the District of Columbia, the Judicia ry, and on Territories ; that neither himself nor the eentleman from New York, (Mr. P. Kin.) desired to be upon these committees ; that all he and his friends asked was, that the ablest men of the differ- , . - . TT . . . , eot parties, and both section of the Union, miht be elected; but they aked that they should be impartial and unprejudiced upon the question of slavery ; mat tneir tears were, in it i nugnt t constitute these committees as to stifle what he regarded as the public sentiment, oi a majority or tne country, i stated to him, in reply, that I regarded his request as reasona ble, and that, if elected, I should constitute these committees of fair ai.d impartial men ; that whatever might be my views upon tny and all questions, I would not ue my power as Speaker in such manner as-to prevent any important question from bein fully presented and discussed in jhe House. Mr. Wilmot appeared r-atisfied, and left me. fu a hört time I received from him the following note : December 10. 1843. Dear Sin : In the conversation which I had with you Lnj. evening, yon were frr in ay that if elected Speaker f the House of Representative you would constitute :e Committee on 1 erntorie, the Judiciary, and the District of Columbia, in a manner that should be satisfactory to myself and the Iiiend with whom I have had the hon or to act. I have communicated thia to my friend; and if. In reply to this note, you can give them the same asurance, ihcy will give you a cheerlul and cordial support. Respectfully, yours, D. WILMOT. Don, Wat. J. Urow . I knew the reason why I was interroga-ted. I had always been regarded aa 'entertaining feelings more friendly to the South than a mnjority of the representatives from the North. As a member of the 28th Congress I had advocated the application of the Missouri compromise to tbe Texas bill, and bad voted against the application of the ordinance to the Oregon bill, because it was north of that line. For four years I had been Assistant Postmaster General, and had neither voted at an election nor been a member of Congress, aud had no opportunity of recording my vote upon these exciting questions. I did not, therefore, object to placing my verbal declarations upon record. I immediately addressed to Mr. Wilmot tbe following note : Waihiscto- Citt, Dec. 10, 1849. Dear Sir: In answer to yours of this date, I will state thai, abould I be -elected Speaker of the House of Representative, I will constitute the Committees on the District of Uiilumbis, on Territories, and on the Judiciary, in such a manner aa shall be satisfactory to yourself sod friends. I am a representative from a free Slate, and have alwaya been opposed to the extension ol slavery, and believe that the lederal tovernment should be relieved from the responsibility of alavery where tbey have the constitutional power to abolish it. I am yours, truly, W. J. BROWN. Hon. David Wilmot. If had been elected, I feel confident that I should have organized these committees in such a manner as no southern man, whig or democrat, would have complained tif. I intended to constitute them of fair and impartial men, who wo-jld have thoroughly investigated and reported upon all constitutional questions, without regard to sectioni l or party bias. I was intcrrogn'ed by a nnmber of southern men, to all of whom said tliat I was opposed to the Wilmot Proviso. I was a friend and supjorler of Gen. Cass, and in my canvas for Congress was opposed by a Wilmot Proviso whig of the Taylor school. I was called a Calhoun southern man advocated the doc trines of the Cas Nicholson letter, with the excep- . tion of his views ss to the constitutional power of Congress to legislate for the Territories. That power 1 have never doubted Congress possessed. But I wai in favor of leaving the question of the institution of slavery to be settled ty the people who might inhabit the territories-. In other, words, I was for non-interference. Rut whilst these were my views, and whilst I was willing to let the people determine

this question for themselves-, under no consideration could I vote for a territorial bill having in it a provi- : sion to establish the institution of ßlavery. I have repeatedly raid that, although I deemed the Proviso . nn unnecessary and useless, I should have no ibj c- j tioil to Sec a bill. With its provisions, presented to. ; Trl.. f.. 1.; :..., . ,i m ,, ten. I ay lor Tor his signature, as at the North he has been regarded as favoring the measure, and at the R.-tl. .,.,lun,l I ...t.,,1 1 I ., fcoutn opposed lo it. 1 stated to several southern gent lemon that tny mind Was not clear SS to the Conti-

tut.onal power to abolish slavery in the District of t Columbia. 1 was auxiou, if that question was to j be agitated this winter, that a report ntitht be made I rout an able committee of legal gentlemen. Mr. Vn Buren believed that Congress pissesed that power, and yet ihe S uth voted for him. 1 have always taken the oneu cronnrl that Cotiirreti should not in. I ' c ----- - -e- - jWfere with the institution of slavery in the District ! of (Joluttinia without the consent of the inhabitants. :If Congress pooiiesses the power to ab dish slavery in 'the District, and the people co.isent, no one sIionM j object. The qntion of the jwer of Congress is a judicial, and not a legislative quellen. In writing this letter I have committed an error, but I have made no declaration to theie men in relation to the com mit tees, except that they fhould be fairly consti tuted. I nude no declaration to southern men or to northern men but what shall be fully sustained by my votes, if 1 have an opportunity before Congress ad journs. 1 have been consistent, and my future con duct shall prove it. I desire to see the Hoüse organ. i zed, and am ready to vote for any democrat without inquiring whether he lives in the North or South whether he is for or against the Proviso. sOue thing our southern democratic friends should rememberthat in the North the sentiment against th extension l slavery is almost universal : and if we are re quired to become the advocates of its extension, our places will be filled with whigs. In this correspondence I consulted none of my friends. I alone am responsible. I made no pledges to any one. My letter was founded on the verbal conversation with Mr. Wilmot, which is fully sustained by his speech. W. J. BROWN. Washington, Dec. 12, 1849. fjcThe State Journal, of yesterday, is extraordi narily severe upon Mr. W. J. Brown, the representa tive to Congress from this district. If Mr. B. were at home, the Journal, perhaps, would talk a little more mildly ! It would have looked better, if the Journal had awaited Mr. Brown's explanation. Our neighbor may think it an advantage to bis party, to brand Mr. B. with a stain of personal dishonor; but he should remember that Ike reputation of the Slate may suffer in the damnation of her representative Wo regard the matter as altogether superior to any party or personal consideration. Our rule of action ban always been, and we trust always will be, the State fint, and party next : parly, only when the interests and honor of the State may be thereby sub served, which we believe will always be the result under honest democratic rule : partisanship no Ion ger, when men forget the higher obligations due the State, and when they evince a willingness to become recreant to those obligations, for the soke of personal advantages to themselves Under this rule, how can we help condemning the Journal's hnsty denunciation of Mr. Brown, not only for present alleged miscon duct, but for imaginary past offences, upon which the people have passed their judgment in his favor 1 Mr. Brown may have been a little imprudent in relation j to the Speakership, but that he is any mors corrupt than moat member of Congress, we are inclined to doubt very much indeed. We l.ave thought, that by thus condemning Mr. B. on telegraphic testimony alone, the true design of the Journal might be, to play the game into the hands of the ultra Southern men. Whether this be so or not, others entertain a different view of Mr. B's. course. The New Albany Ledger of the 15th inst. takes the following ground : 'The telegraphic report published yesterday shows that but one ballot for Speaker was taken on Wed nesday, when the Hon.

The Boston Post says that many of the most "influential and respectable" men have signed a petition to Congress for a charter to j build this road on the plan of Mr, Degrand $2,000, 0(O private and $93.fjfj0.000 national subscription and that the petition is to be generally circulated. The impudence of this proposition is really magnifi' cent. We should like to look into the faces of the men who originated so splendid a swindle. We have called Whitney the Railroad Napoleon : tliese Boston gentle men sre of the Monroe Edwards class of operators. Mr. Walh, in one of his late letters from Paris, eays : "A sensation, and qqite a flattering one, has been produced on both hides of the Channel by the proceedings of the American Convention for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. Europe begins to believe that nothing is impossible for the American people." Tne Treaty: between the United States and the Sakdwicu Islands, brought out for ratification by Dr. Judd, Commissioner to His Hawaiian Majesty, conu'ns some new provisions in relation to commercial intercourse between the United States and the Sandwich Inlands. These provisions are of the most liberal character; the duties imposed upon all articles (except liquors) exported from the United States to the Sandwich Inlands, for instance, being merely nominal. Provision is made, it is said, for the encouragement of a line of steamers between the United States ports and the East Indies, which if it ever be established, aa we doubt not ere lotijj it will, the importance of the Sandwich Islands, as an intermediate stopping place, in such an event can hardly be over estimated. It seems that Anthony J. Ten Eyck. our late Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands, did not resign, but was dismissed by His Hawaiian Majesty for reasons which are not distinctly stated as yet. Oy-The Levee at the Governor's house on Tues day night went off in fine Myl. A large crowd was present, a perfect jam of gentlemen, and some beautiful and talented, and best dress ladies in town.

J Accordinz to the statute of 1838, the widow of any decedent was enutled to dower in the land to whb-h her husband had, during the coverture, the legal titla, and also In th land to which tbe hnshand was, at the tima of bis death, equitably entitled. And the hushand was to lie considered equitably entitled to any real property for which he bid contracted, in proportion to tbe purchase money paid in bis lit time. Revised Statute 1838, p. 2 JO. The word legal titla," In the statute, mean a title by which the husband had such a seisin of tbe land as, previously to the statute, entitled the wife to dower. While thia statute was In lor ce, the owner of a town lot conveyed it to a married purchaser, and the purchaser executed on the same day a mortfege to tbe grantor to secure the payment of a part ol the purchase-money, without bis wife being a party to tbe mortgage. The mortfigor afterward died, leaving hi wife surviving Mm, and the mortgage hari-.ig been assigned, the assignee, after the denlh of the mortgagor, obtained a decree of fore closure en th mortga-e, under which decree the land was sold to th assignee for Its. than the balance of the purchase-money due and secured by the mortgage. Held, that this was a case where the seisin of tbe purchaser was not sufficient to entitle the wife to dower against the mortgage. Held, also, that as the mortga-or, at tbe time of his death, had an equity of redemntiou ia the lot, his widow was, under ibe statute al least, entitled to dower out oi that interest ; but that by th foreclosure of the mortgage, without in wftow or any otner person reaeeming to iimi cgm was lost. Held, also, tbat if the M had been sold for more than, the mortraa debt, tbe widow would hav been snlieled to dower ia th surplus; but o tbe sale wss less thon the debt, her Claim to do war wa at an end.

Jlffii atsj. The Boston Blur tier. The public sentiment which at first raged so utterly against Trof. Webster has taken a new turn, in consequence of statement in his favor. Great allowance should now be made fir exaggerations, for the penny papers are interested in leaping o; the excitement. We wind up our extracts for the present, with the following from the Boston Transcript: We learn that the fact qunteJ yesterday, from the Mail in regard to the notes found at Dr. Webster' house were not fully stated. One note for $400, dated 1842, wts past doe. cancelled and fi'ed away. It bad no endorsement, and had to all appearance, been taken Dp by payment or renewal. With rrgsrd to the second note due in 1851, which wa for 2451, and endorsed, tt is believed to bave beei secured by a mortgage on Dr Webster' mineralngical cabinet, which cabinet was ..IJ within a year for $3,000 to an association of gentlemen, who presented it to Harvard College. The fir preaumpti-m and belief is, that tbe note was prepaid, on the a e of the cabinet. Thus fr the public suspicion appear to have run in one direction ; but by 'the following from the Cambridge Chronicle, it will be seen that something may be said on the other side: There are many circumstance, which if properly considered, tend much to relieve the terrible position of Professor Webster. Not only ba no positive evidence been brought to abow the agency of Prof. YV. in tbe deah of Dr. P., but many of the strong facts already are proved to have no foundation. Tbe spots of blood said to have been discovered upon the floor and stair, i found to be only tobacco juice! The pants, with Prof. W.'s name upon them, and stained with blood, are those which be wear in his laboratory, stained with aciils! The tin bos ordered at Waterman's, 3 feet long, dwindles to one 18 inches long, 18 wide and 13 inches deep, and of auch description a another individual states he has ofien made for him. As to tbe matter of the receipt which has been so much insisted upon, who ever heard cf a receipt being given on the payment of a note! That anv gentleman should have known him to be at the Medical College late on Friday night, wben he is known to have come home early and been engaged in spending a social evening with Judge Fay aud other friend. i, to y tbe least, remarkable. And it i no le retnaikable tbat tbe janitor of the college, or any other individual, should have observed such unusual appearances about nis room, aa to have exci'ed their suspicions not only when he wa thus absent, but so soon af er the disappearance of Dr. P., and only divulge those suspicion at so late an- hour. How great importance is to be attached to the pretended secrety of Prof. W.'s apartment, may be inferred from the fact that it was the daty of the janitor to take care of the entire building, and of course had ready access to each room. A gentleman who visited the rooms day before yesterday assured u that he examined the lock particularly, ami presumed from their construction thete could be no difficulty in finding a multiiuJe of key to fit them. The Elojement of Mrs. Miller. The Winchester Republican, referring tu the elopement of Mrs. Miller, wife of Maj. Miller of the army, from Niagara, New Y"rk, says : . Mai. Miller, during his "iourn here, was hirrhltr riese ana sympntny oi tue Citizen to a great extern, especially after her husband was ordered upon distant service. She. was of a gentle aud modeit bearing, and well calculated to win friends amonjr strangers. Suicide would be painful enoufrh to her family, but the other result would be wor.se than a thousand deaths. We -cannot but hope that the worst has not happened. A few days may determine; and we sincerely trust that the hearts of other families may not have to bear the most poignant suffering. Suicide et a Prf.acheb. Great sensation was recently occasioned at Cincinnati, by the suicide of the Rev. Jas. H. Perkins, who drowned himself in a fit of derangement. He was the pastor of the Unitarian church, and was a man of many virtues. The newspapers express prent regret at the melancholy event. T1IU MAIlKlTrs. Indianapolis, Dec. 19, 1849. Ouk Pop.K Makket. Since our lat weekly, the weather, then unfavorable for an advance of prices, changed Middenly cold ; since which it has moderated, and is now, Wednesdey, raining slightly. This, however, does not seem to suspend operations; and we learn of sales to a considerable extent, varying from $2.3112.45. Good hogs, averaging 220 lb., we thick would command $2.50. Much depends on the weather, however, whether this price will be obtained. As 'feed" is so expensive at the river, and no great ' pressure" iu " driving by railroad cars," we must leave holders to judge of their chances for further advances. We have received by telegrapli the following despatch, dated Madison, Dec. 16th, 18-19. "Sales of 1,300 hogs to-day at $2.70 (two seventy), and the market firm. Only. 4000 hogs on hand.' While looking over our exchanges to obtain reliable in ormation in rt'ation to the hog market, our eye fell on the following in the Dayton (Ohio) Journal : The Indianapolis Sentinel of 14:h, quotes $2.1'2ia 2.15, and advises farmers to tell. Whether the said "Journal" is Whir in commercial matters as well as political, the farmers, who raise hogs for market, must judge. But this quotation shows a spec;es of dishonesty that thould not be tolerated either by the speculator or producer ; for who will deceive or cheat the one, will not hesitate to do so with the other. We said, in the quotation alluded to above, after noting the advance in prices, which bave fully realized our expectations, that we now advise our farmers to sell, when they can get wha they deem a remunerating price. Now hear our Cincinnati reports of Mondoy Dec. 17, copied from the Gazette: Hogs. The market was up ten to fifteen cents per 100 lbs. to-day, and sellers generally demanded $3, but there were few tuyera at over 2,85 a 2,90 for fair lots. The sales as far as reported comprised 212 head av. 250 lbs. at $3; 392 av. 200 lbs. at 2,87; S40 do. av. 215 lb, at 2,90; 70 do. av. 230 lbs. at 2,95; do. a v. 230 lb., at 2'b7; 89 do. a v. 230 lb, at 2,95; 1000 do. a v. 200 at 2.87 a 2,90, and 250 do. dividing on 20 lbs. at 2,75 a 2,80. This reaction in the market, which we noticed in tmr report of Saturday evening, was caused by the advance in the price of Pork in New York. 8 A T.r: OP llEAIs ESTATE.
