-Congress at Philadelphia,—n place chosen as a central position and the most populous of the colonial cities. After independence was declared and estabniade to re move the seat of government. This scheme was aided* in 1703, by an acci dent. A passing company of soldiers, clamorous fof pay, besot the doors of Congress, and the assembly was for the mo(f»eot« broken up. These who wished to change the aeit of government availed ihemseWes of the opportunity to effect a removal 10 Princeton, which was done by proclamation. The tra* dition is that Mf. Kiias Uoudinot, then President of Congress, and another delegate from New*York, effected this change. A ehort time aft©r» the aeat ot Government was removed from Princeton to Trenton. Then it was at Annapolis for a short time, Mr. Elbi idge Gerry proposed a permanent seat o! government, to be under tho jurisdiction of Congress, and detached from all State sovereignties. Commissioners were appointed to select and report a suitable site,—Mr. Gerry proposed two seats one North and South-—to wit: New York and Annapolis. in the mean time, the government was removed to New York where Washington was inaugurated. A bill passed the House naming the banks of Susquehannah. The Senate named Germantown, and the substitute was adopted.— But owing, it is said, to tho efforts of Mr. Madison, the bill was-reconsidered and postponed a bargain was finally made between the New Yorkers and Southern members, by which the seat of Government was to go back to Philadelphia for ten years, and then go permanently to the ten miles square which was to be designated by the South.— This was a compromise measure, and was an equivalent conceded by the North to the South from the assumption of the State Debts. Several times at Philadelphia, Congress was menaced by popular tumults. A military company on one occasion insulted the minority of Congress. The government during John Adam's Administration was removed to Washington, then a desolate and inconvenient place, but, there were few people, and the government exercised exclusive jurisdiction.— The whole police was in tho hands of tho government, and no part of it was' given to the city corporation till some years after.

One of tho reasons assigned for the choice of the present seat on the Potomac was the wish of Gen. Washington. The admiration of his character and serviced caused the selection and dictated the name of the seat of government, which was intended as a monument to his glory,

But personal interests and commerce did not long leave Washington in the quiet enjoyment of the presonee of the federal power. Pennsylvania has never ^rdially assented to the removal of the government from her metropolis.— A project was formed in 1807 to remove the federal capital back to Philadelphia, and steps were taken to obtain some liberal overature pf aid in the object by the city and by the State government of Pennsylvania. The most liberal offers were made, by the ciiizcns of Philadelphia, to get back the government and perhaps in the expectation of obtaining some direct and salutary influence over its policy. The offers were not only to stop further expenses of building in Washington, which had exceeded three or four millions, but provide necessary buildings in Philadelphia for the government, and pay all charges of removal.

Mr. Sloan, of Pensylvania, thus armed, mado a concerted movement, aud wUh a very ctm»Wk,»W* number of votes to back him. lie offered a resolution for the removal of the government to Philadelphia, stating that its continuance at this place was the greatest evil that the nation sustained. lie announced tho determination of a large number of members to agitate the subject till they got a favorable decision

He laid down tho position that there wasj boah!"—[jErii]—Det. Ad nothing fp tho Constitution to fix a permanent seat of government, any more than making a permanent Prosident and that one Congrss* could bind themselves only, but could not compel their succesaora to sit in one place iu preference to another But if wo must have a permanent seat of government, he said, this was not the place tor it. Mr. Sloan sighed for dry pavements, an abundant and cheap market, and the Quaker meet, ingsj &c.» of Philadelphia, The only consolation for iho deprivation of mem* bers from all tho near and dear connections of life, waa he urged to meet in a pleasant and improved city. The House agreed to consider tho resolution, by targe majority, and a most curious do bate followed, lasting for weeks at almost every sitting. But it is to ba remember* ed that, in the whole discussion, not a word was uttered- about slavery, pro or can. Finally tbe subject was dropped for w«m of time.

The matter rested till some six or sev en year* after, when after the burning of tbo Capitol, &c., by the British, the proposition to remove tho scat of government was renewed, and a majority was found to be in its favor, as an ab •tract proposition, but the majority could dot agree upon any one placc as a swbstituio meanwhile, iho increase of the city facilities of communication, generally, haw removed many of the reasons urged for changing the seat of govern* meat.—Jew. of Commerce.

4 toucimh« *NciiBr«\ We heard yesterday of one of the most touching and anno*Jul incident* that, in the whole course of our life, we have been ensiled upon t« record.

An aff©d mother—a woman of seventy year»*-lefl her home in the Ismer aid We tome ten weeka ago to seek tho »bode of her children, M9 W residents of Loutsaille.

After a tedious passage, and the trou* ble incident to along iournev.she reach* ed this city from New Orleans last Monday night on board the Alex Scott, and was surrounded by her children.

Her son was the first to see her. and he hastened to inform his sister of their mother's arrival. They met—(tho moth* er and the daughter) in one long em brace, which only ended as the infirm mother sank with excitement to the Boor, She had swooned away in the rapturous enjoyment of beholding once more a daughter ao long lost to her. She pronounced a blessing upon her children, aud then fainted away, whenever restored to consciousness, the sight of her children, and the pleasing recollection of their presence, would overcome her with emotions, aud agai(\ and again she would faint in their arms.

Physicians were called to her aid, but could affurd her no relief. For two days she continued in this condition tintil worn out with fatigue and excitement, exhausted nature gave way, and tho mother now "sleeps well" in the green earth of her new mado home. How strong how sorrowful and how touching, are the incidents of life.—Louisville Democrat. **w

In fact, not to be mealy mouth ed, it appears to our "eyes" that there must soon be a great scarcity, unless the duty on foreign potatoes is to be repealed

BEETS—Scarcely any in the market, save those of watchmen 011 their lonely round." We cannot account for this without going to the root, and fur that we havn't time.

THE IRON OF ROCK ISLAND. The last number of the Illinois Advertiser, says: "11 is now placed! beyond all peradventure, that, together with the other mineral wealth which this neighbor hood yields, iron of the first quality is to bo found in the greatest abundance only a few miles from this city. We hove within a few days been shown five different specimens of this ore, which was taken from tho land of Samuel Dritton, some two. or three miles above moline, in the country. It is pronounced by the best judges to be equal to the. best iron that is ever seen in the United States, Mr. dritton, who is familiar with the mines of Englund as well as this country assures us that he has never seen a superior article in Urea* Britain. Besides, it has been satisfactory ascertained that the depos ite here is inexhaustible and we look forward to the time, with the utmost as surance, when hundreds of men will be employed among us in unearthing this important source of wealth and making it subservient to the use of man."

It is, in its natural state, sufi and brittle, of a velvet black color, and lustrous. is found in large quantities in Saxony, and also in Prussian amber mines in detached fragment*, and being exceeding resinous, the coarser kinds are there used for fuel, burning with a greenish flame, and a strong bituminous smell leaving an ash, also of a greenish color.
