The high-handed meusures of the Locofoco mnjority in the House are faithfully set forth. The treachery of a pretended Whig—the base violation of a solemn pledge made by a Locofoco to vote the voice of his constituents—aro all adverted to and properly deprecated. The Locofocos of the

House may be considered the real reprosentativos of the party in the State. The Whigs *V-. of both houses having a fair opportunity of

%,, itnsssing the designs and machinations of our opponents, are well qualified to speak on this subject. They have met and spoken— may their voice be heard ami well pondered —much good advice is given to Whigs, not to permit themselves, ho reader to bo too easily imposed upon—but to be true to the cause «~*nd not only true, but olso faithful and on the alert. To the supinenessof the Whigs at the Inst election, it is now ^well ascertained, the Sthte is at this time indebted for a Locofoco Senator.

This plan seams lobe gaining ground with the people.

OCCUPATION OF OREGON."

The vote in the Senate on this bill, does not appear to have assumed a party cast,— though somewhat sectional in its charac* ter, as might be expccted. Of course the ordeal of the House is yet to be passed— and its fate there still unknown.

CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS. Congressional Districts being now arranged we have already heard the names of many gentlemen named as probable candidates for the next Congress. v* *T

For our own, the seventh District, we have heard mentioned the following names, to wit, JAMES FARHINGTON, JAMBS T. MOFFATT, and AMOBY KBNNEV of Vigo. E» VV. MCGAUGHEY of Putnam, and C. C. NAVE of Hendricks.— Perhaps other names may be added to the list.

Of courso we presume a Convention will bo held of delegates from the several counties through which,« selection of some one name will bo made, as a proper candidate for the support of the Whigs of the seventh District.

We havo just received a copy of the now law regulating the sale of real and personal prq^gy »nder execution. It com9s too 1*®!$^' for publication this veek, but shall appear at length in our next.

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS. From tht Nt* Orltani JBm. &/* MATAMORAS^ IT'' CON FILIATION OF THE CAPTUltf OF THE

TEXIAN ARMY.

By the arrival of the schooncr* ttorju:, ive have advices from MatamorasJ confirmatory of the intelligeDCO received by the last steamer from Texas, that the division of the Texian army under Colonels FISHER and GREEN had been captured at Mier.

On the 15th December, Gen* AMFUDIA received a despatch from Gen. WOLL, informing him that the Texians, 800 or 1000 strong, had taken Loredo, and that he (Gen. WOLL,) had been compelled to ffill back that the Texian forces were taking the northern route towards Matamoras. On the receipt of this intelligence, Gen. AMPUDIA left Matamoras with two battalions of sappers and minors, in quest of the enemy, and reached Mier, 50 leagues distant, on the 23d December. A body of Texians, under the command of Colonels FISHER and GREEN, had, in the mean time, crossed the river and attacked the town in tbe night. Tho Mexican troops stationed in the neighborhood, immediately went to the assistance of the city, when an engagement took placo which lasted 17 hours.

Every house and street was desperately defended. After the battle had been maintained on both sides with^ determination and obstinacy for such a great length of time, the Texians, finding) themselves surronnded on all sides, jesolved to surrender and finally capitulated on honorable terms. It is feared, however, that tho articles of surrender will not be faithfully complied with on the part of Mexico.

The Mexicans report their loss daring this engagement at 480 killed and 130 wounded. The roes on the part of the Texans was 11 killed and 10 wounded. This great disparity evinces tho superior skill of the Texans in the use of fire arms, and the surrender of tbe invading army after sonligfat a loss would lead us to suppose that tbey only surrendered after having exhausted tbeir ammunition. The success of the Mexicans, after suffering so severely, speaks favorably of their courage and perseverance.

Gen. Ampudta returned to Matamoras on the 7th January, and was received by tbe cttixens with great applause and rejoicings. Ho brought with him 21* Texan prisoners, including Colonels Fisher and Green. The Tfex&nft were to* leave Matamoras on the 15th instant for the city of Mexico, there to await their destiny from the hands of Sum Asta. Colonels Fisher and Green, and the prisonera generally, acknowledge ,!ha treXUnent the received* from Gen. AnMudia, since the ca tubtioo, to hate been huma manly.

Tdirtts EDITOEOT twiCotnaiis The first paper I lifted 4tt fe* foments since on coming from the Stage into the Tavern, was T. DOWWUG'S "Express" of today, and my eye was attracted to the apeecb of Mr. MCGAUGHEY, wliich. as 1 anticipated in my reply in Senate* was suited for the columns of that insidious and malevolent vehicle, and should there secure favor to the disiwterested, and eloquent author. The scurrilous personal abuse cast at me by DowtHpo and resting upon his own. authority* I afford to disregard but that of^Mr. ?W&GJTDGHEY was corrected at tho tiftie it was uttered, and shall be corrected as often oi.lt be repeated—not with any wisla to deprive him of the support it may entice to advance his "Exchequer" Congressional aim! As Mr« DOWLING was present in Senate when tbe discussion took place, it may seem to be uncharitable to lessen the benefit he derived from jt and as it was not reported, he may well bo thankful for the exemplary kindness. Aware of the intent at the moment, I asked three Senators who heard my remarks, (delivered a month or more before Mr. McG. misrepresented them) lo give me their impressions, and knowledge and neither of them court the "Express" columns to get votes for Congress. The following is their state merit, and Mr. MCGAUGHEY and the "Express" may now "go ahead." '1 Respectfully yours,

Under this section ilie Board have been in the habit of laying tho taxes for the improve ment of the streets, on those lots only in front of which the improvements were made, and obliging the owners of such lots, each to pay for all the improvements necessary in front of his lot, though it should be twice as much as that done opposite the adjoining lot: What then beomes of tho provision, that this tax shall be assessed in proportion to the value .of the lot Suppose that of two adjoining lots, one should be worth 9400, and the other $200 and the amount of grading to be done in front of each is just equal would not the grade of the one be just twico as high as that of the other? for remember, it must be in ^iropor tion to the value of the lot.

The section provides that the improvements on streets are to be "at the expense of tho owners of property fronting thereon."

Does this word faptont refer to the grad ing, draining, J*c«»br to the Streets?' plainly the latter, as every school-boy can at once decide. Again, this construction is consistent with justice—for according to it, all the property on a street is made to pay for all the improvements done on it, in proportion to the value of the lots and as a general rule all the property on a street is enhanced in value a

STATEMENT,

The undersigned Senators, were present in their seats, and heard Senator Ewing's remarks some week's ago, when a bill to repay the amount allowed by certuin counties and individuals, to an ESUngioeer for locating the canal between Lafayette & Terre-Haute, was under consideration. The act of last session providing for the work, foreclosed and forbade the payrtient of the claim and the representatives in both Houses, of the counties and individuals interested, voted for the act which repudiated it. Mr. Ewing's remarks were in opposition to the claim on account of that act and we heard nothing from him to sustain or justify a charge this day made, that on the occasion alluded to, "he (Mr". E had abused the citizens of Terre-Haute, or of Vigo county." We heard all that was uttered on that occasion, and heard nothing of the kind therefore, wo deem the charge to be groundless and unwarrantable, let it come from what quarter it may.

It clearly refers only to sidewalk#, and it is reasonable that if a person has the luxury of a side-walk in front of his lot, he should be* made to pay for it—-whereas in the case of grading, the work done in front of bis lot, is neqoo^y damage to ita ownor.

Tfie proviso of this section. Is Just as reconcilable with my construction of the. section, as with that put upon it by tbe Common Council.

if WamxiWToit, Eeb.Ti, 1843i?* HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

utieft of tbe sarord or ceu^rai vr ailu aii tke walking Cam of JFmnk» I f3! Ac&frdittg to ilbHc?^-t^tntbt?

Mr. Summers of V«., arose this morning in the House* and said that the duty which he had to perform was as gratifying to bim as such a course was unusual. JSamuel T.s Washington, of Kenawha, Virginia, and one of his constituents, had requested him, in his name, and in his behalf, to present to the Congress of the United States, and through them to the people of the Uoited States, two of the most interesting and valuable articles connected witb the past history of our coun

The one Iras a sword worn by Gen. Washington, first as a colonel to tbe Colonial service of Virginia, and afterwards during tfee*hole period of the Revolutionary War, as Commander-in-Chief of the American Army.

The other relic was the cano that belonged to Benjamin Franklin. It is a crab tree walking stick, With a gold head curiously wrought in the form of a Cap of Liberty, which was bequeathed to General Washington by Franklin himself After some remarks illustrative of these precious relics^of the past, he said that the sword of the hero and statesman should go with the staff of the philosopher, and be deposited among the proudest trophies of *lhe nation's achievements.

Great applause followed this speech, from members as well as persons in the galleries. Mr. Adams said, that in presenting this resolution to the House it may perhaps be expected that I should accompany it with some remarks suitable to the occasion and yet, sir, «ever rose to address this House under a deeper conviction of the want of words to express the emotions that I feel. It is precisely because occasions like this are adapted to produce universal sympathy, that little can be said by any one but what,in the language of the heart, in tones not loud, but deep, every one present has literally said to himself.

My respected friend from Virginia, by whom this offering of patriotic sentiment has been presented to the Representative Assembly of the nation, has, it seems to me, alrea|/«aid all that can be said suitable to this occasion. In parting from him, as after a few short days we must all do, it will, on my part, be' sorrowing that in all probability, I shall see his face, and hear his voice no more. But his words of thi3 day have been planted in my memory, and will there, remain till the last pulsation of my heart. 1

The Sword of Washington! The Stsff of Franklin! Oh, sir, what associations are linked adamant with those names! Washington, ihe warrior of human freedom! Washin§lonr whose sword my friend ha* said was never drawn but in the cause of his country, and never sheathed when ueeded in his country's cause. Franklin, tbe philosopher of the thunderbolt, the printing press, and the ploughshare—what names are these in the scanty catalogue of the benefactors of mankind? VjliJbington and Franklirri What other two •Milf whose lives belong to the eighteenth century1 of Christendom, uave left a deeper impression of',!|£paeta» upon tho age itvwhich ibpon aff a'ft&r time.

Vfashington, the warrior and the legislator!^ In war contending by the wager of batthe independence of hk country, and ftr the freedom of the human raee—ever manifesting, amidst the horrors of war, by

precept and example, his reverence for the laws of peace and for the tenderest sympathies of humanity. In peace, soothing the ferocious spirit of discord among his own countrygien into harmony, and giving to that very? eword now presented to his country ch'tam more potent than that imputed in ancient times to the lyre of Orpheus.

Franklin, the mechanic of his own fortune, teaching, in early youth, under the shackles of indigence, the way of wealth, and in the shade of obscurity the path to greatness. In the maturity of manhood disabling the thun der of its terror, and tending to monarch* of Europe the olive branch of peace, the mer curial wand of Commerce, and the armlet of protection and safety to lite man of pcaco on th#pathles8 ocean from the inevitable cruel ty and merciless rapacity of war und finally, in the last stage of life, with fourscore win tera on his head, under the torture of an in curable disease, retiring to his native land, closing his days as the chief magistrate of his adopted Commonwealth. After some fur ther remarks, Mr. Adams concluded and ap« pJnupe long and loud rung through the Hall

Mr. Adams then submitted a joint resolotMMigendering to S. T. Washington the thanks of Congress for the donation of the Sword and Walking-stick, and ordering a copy of tho resolution to be sent to the donor.

The' resolution was adopted unanimously. Mr- Taliaferro moved that the remarks of Messra. Summers and Adams be entered on the Journal, and the motion wus agreed to. "Jo»rMcKennan said that it was evident, from the feelings produced by the interesting proceedings, that the members were in no condition to attend to business, and on his motion the House adjourned.

THE SUPREME REMEDY TOR rEYEIf AND AGUE AND BILLIOVS FETEIW. rpHERE is no remedy known either in profrMfoast or domestic practice, so absolutely, immediately, and permanently eflRcatious in this prevalent and ob. stinate malsHjt, as MoHat^s celebrsteo and long established lids pills, and phmnix bitters. Extraordinary snd renowned as are their effecta upon diaeaaes in general, in Fever and Ague, and all Billioua Affections they are more so because, in these they are as infallibto as any hnman means can be. This has been proved ia more than ten thousand cases, nor is there sn instanoa in which they have failed, or reaaonably can fail, when taken In strict accordance with the directions here subjoined, and which are also given in Mo0afs Medical Manuanl and Good Samaritan. But to insure inv»ria» ble success, these mnst he rigidly followed.

Fever and Ague, in all its fonr leading species, is a pernliar periodical disease, and Dr.Moffat haa fully established the important dincorerv that its cure can na vet be effected with precision and certainty, except by a periodical adminietration of a proper remedy, in con* nectioirwiih the specific powers of one of the ingredi* entsin his medicines, ia the aecret of hie invsriablo triumph, while all other practitioners either entirely fart or on Iv temporarily auceced, were with tho very best remedies that were known. Anetus, or Ague is either Quotidian, or dsil? Tertian, or third-day Qwirton, or fourth-day Erratic, or sometimes one of these periods and sometimos another or it ia Complies ted, by taking these periods in sucoeesion, and then running in* to intermittent fever of a more malignant character. But it lea remarkable fnct, however mystenons ana unaccountable it may appear, that each and all of these species of Ague, have a fourteenth-day crisis, in which thev may be curcd with certainty, but by neglecting which they osn only be cured by chance. Dr. Moflatfs directions for taking the medicines in ihisdissawu aro therefore these:—First, take two of thp Life Pills at bed time, and next morning before breakfast a roll

ime, glass

tho Phronix Bitters in sboat the saws a,wtaa«ia«tnofain a fuU half an hour before SatfB tht second night take thros

ooontUv of water, and half a wThe irTasS tff wstef, about meal during the day. On ills and the bittefi as before on p: foi

tills and me outers as oefore on the third nignlW our pills snd the bitten as before, and continue tak- p-. ing four pills every night for ihree nights more, with tho bitters during tho day. On or before tho seventh day, the Acne willsoeni robe entirely cured, and tlia patient will feel well, hungry, and hearty, but he must nevertheless continue ro take the bitters ss before preaoribed, nntil and on the fourteenth day, with two pins every night alter thrfseventh day. Ho will than, snd not until then, with positive and invariable certainty, be permanently cared, not only of Fever and Ague bat of whatever biliious and lircr nflections it may havo superinduced or even in any way.connected. Il,how* ever, the patient should by any neglect, or undue confidenee in restored health, omit to take the Phoenix ^. Bitters in the full quantities prescribed, at least thro* times on the fourteenth day. Dr. Moffat must not b« |k: blamed if the disease shonld return, srd the patient Jfc* should iesrn wisdom from affliction, and go ihrocgk another course of the medicines for a fortnight longer. Obeying these instructions, however, lie wilt be so thoroughly cured, thst he may hid defiance to the die- P", ease, however unheslthv may be his location or preva» lent the malady around him. For children between

seven and fourteen years of age, half of tho shove quantities of the medicines will suffice for younger chitdren, a quarter of those qustitities, to bo increased or diminished in proportion ssthe sge varies from advsa-v ced childhood to infancy. For very young children, small quantities of ihe bitters only will alone bo ne* cemry.

This treatment, withtlicsesupremelyeffectual "Lifo^ Medicines," hna been pcrfectlv triumphant in die worst |^My regions of the Soutliern and Western country, and around the northern lakes, where the malady prevails^ with the universality of nn epidemic, and the demand for this sovereign remedy lias been far grtBter than tho supply. Dr. Moffht'a Agents, however, aro now welt furnished, and will make ever/ effort to aend this s4* vertisement into the mnsi afflicted districts- Voluntary and iealooslv graiefnl teatrmonialssre received ST the proprietor's office in New York, by every mail ia lt incredible numbers, to the absolute efficacy of these SOtonishing medicines, not only in Feversnd Ague,oth» er intermitent fevets. liver and billiooa affections, snd derangements of tho digestive functions generally, hat also in chronic and inflammatory rheumatism, oostivo* nets, pain* in the side and limps, eruptions of the skis, scrofula, piles, worms, scurry, snd a host of other eom» plaints,for the ctre of which, these Vegetable Life' Medicines are so pre-eminently renowned throughout the United States. Knowing, hov ever that many of these diseases, as well ss most fatal undermining of the general health are occasioned by Fever and Agno. Dr. Moffst, in faiendvertisements, invites the special si-' tention of the pablic to ihe absolute ascendency of his medicines over this mslsdy. the fountain head nf sd many others. He lias only to add that the Life Medicines sre agreeable and invigorating in their opera* tions, require neither confinement nor change of diot, and have acquired the reputation they hove long p«o» sessed, not by tbe osnal artificial efforts, bat solely by their invariable and exfensive lawfulness Prepared and sold by Dr. Willism B.
