fFrom the New-Knclnnd Galaxy. FROM THE EDITOR. Washington, January 28. In the House of Representatives, yesterday Mr. M'Lane of Delaware, presented a

Iverv stron and sensible argument, in com

" Road and Canal bill." lie is a speaker

'prominent member of the House. lhe

Fredericksburg (Fa.) March 13.

You will no doubt be gratified to learn

the result of the Adams' Meeting.' -It

was adjourned over from Thursday to thi: evening, to act on the report of a commit

tee then appointed. The result is, that

Adams was nominated as President; and Jackson as Vice-President, by a majority

of sixover Mr. Calhoun. Corresponding committees are appointed, and other suit

able measures lor organizing an opposition to the caucus nomination at Richmond.

of the story of the Indian, who split his dog in two parts longitudinally from head to

tail, and put him together again, with two legs up and two down, that he might run

the longer, by changing legs. Mr. Archer

is celebrated for manufacturing long yarns. At the last session, he spoke three times on

the bankrupt bill. While he was making

his third speech, Mr; Hernck,of Mame.was

'met, going out of the hall in a state of some llittle agitation, and to the oucstion. What

have already heard so much. A member, who stands near me, informs me, in n-plv to an interrogatory, that it is always unnecessary to ask which side of a proposition Mr. Randolph espouses it is his uniform practice to oppose every thing. A discussion of considerable interest took place in the Senate to-dav, on an amend-
