that public opit ion is daily becoming more unequivocally in favor of a protective systern. We have not received the yeas and nays in the Senate, ajid of course cannot say how our Senators voted. In the House of Representatives, Messrs. Jennings and

The I vote of Mr Test, we believe, expressed jthe sentiments of his constituents, and most certainly wa based upon the soundlest views of our national condition and rej sources. ; School Isimk.

I American Colonization Saciety, affording
auinentic intelligence of the prosperous state of the Colony, its incresing extension and usefulness, and of the pacific disposition of the natives. Tnough the rainy season had been unusually protracted, yet the Colonies were never more healthy. Factory island and a large district, unlimited on one side of Grand Bassa country, has been attached to the Colony. A large public house has been built on Factory Island, by th former proprietors, for the use ol the Colonists, and it was in contemplation, immediately to begin the settlement of that Island, by establishing two respectable families th're. Tin Agent had also obtained the grant rent free of an indefinite tract of countrv, iyir g between the two Junk rivers, 35 -r 40 miles to the leeward of the Cape. A new town, for recaptured Af icans, had been founded on the Stockt n, two and a half miles below itsjunction with the St. Paul's; which is the third settlement begun on the creek.

Tesas. We learn from two gentlemen wiio recently left Tex s, that the revolution in that country, which hasexcited some notice here, is there regarded as a ver
trivial affair. Ed ards, v ho is at the head i of it, has but about fifteen followers. The
residue of the settlers are either opposed
to him or neutral. Iio serious c onsequences, except to the small numberof individuals concerned, were expected to result from it. Cincinnati Gazatte. Canine Fidelity About the time of the Ias4 persecution of the Prvtestants in Franre, an officer of that persuasion was shut up in the dungeon at Vincennes. He wished much to have nil dog admitted with him, it was a greyhound, which he had reared. This innocent request being refused, the dog. though turned out of the fortress watched an opportunity on the following day, and reentered within the innermost court. His master was confined in one of the lower cells, the window of
which was near the ground, and the animal
appeared at it and was recognised. He came to the bars and visited his unhappy
master, whose relatives knew nothing of
his fate, diurnally for four whole years, in spite of cold or wet. At length the officer was set at liberty , returned home, and died in a few months afterwards. The dog a gain returned to Vincennes, taking up its dwelling with an outer turnkey and frequently going to the window, where it sat for hours pacing in vain for its master, un
til death terminated its career.

Accounts from Natchitoches, state that a company of Mexican troor s, with some Indians, advanced on the 30th January from St. Antonio to Nacogdoches, hen most of the Frcdonians at that place tied, and some few were made prisoners. We recently heard the President Judge of one of our County Courts declare, that, in Penn8 Ivanta, with i population of one miUioo, there i more litigation than in England, with a population of ten millions.

The fate of Morgan is still undecided.Meetings are still holding, and divers committees have been appointed but, no cer tain result has a yet been attained. It i said that no State in the Union has so much government money expended in It as Mi-Souri. This arises from the army, the I dia sand tne Lead Mines. A h-tter from Kingston, Jamaica, states that Flour was sold there lately at $18; so much for the British closing their ports to the American trade.
