General Remarks.
The imports of The past week have been
uncomfortable. The prices of sugar are so
low that supplies from the w. Indies can-
not be looked for. Our domestic growth
protected by the heavy duty on imports
presses down the rates of every other des-
cription so low. ds for time 70 exclude
them from the market The growth Of Lou
isiana is however, not only quite insufficient
for the consumption of the country, but the
quality is such, that however beautiful in
appe arance at FIRST, it soon loses its lustre
and cannot bear our summer heats without
incredible waste FROM drainage. Our bust.
ness has resumed some Of its usual activity,
but that portion Of the trade, whose depen-
dence is chiefly on produce from the back
| country are not doing much, owing to the
bad state Of the roads and the very low
prices, to which all our agricultural products
have fallen. When we find Indian corn sell
ling at Is cents per bushel, we need not be
surprised at the natural decline in the con.
sumption Of imported articles, which our
habits only have led US to consider as the alb
soiute necessaries Of life.

Maine and Missouri, tone east, the o'hes

stellation; and, ia admitting one OF them'

most dangerous question that has ever arise n
in the Republic. The act OF the first ses-

ton may be justly proud In Our foreign
relations, the late Congre: cautiously actea'
and wisely abstained. Provision has been
made for the further protection OF our navi~
CATION, in competition with that of England
and France: a. the same time that DISPOSE
ton has been shewn to reciprocate the most
liberal policy as to both countries. In this
Congress, when it has acted, has acted with
caution. II has refrained from offensive
measures towards Spain, pending our dit :
ferences with that nation, and from measures
of compromitment in regard 10 the South
American war In this y has wisely abstain
ed. five add to this general view OF the
measures of the last Congress, that the an
nual expenditure has been, by its measures,
reduced more than two millions of dollars
we must allow, if the record OF its acts be
not brilliant. that it affords. on retrospect
ton, much to approve, and little to regret.
Few important appointments were made
during The late Session of Congress, by the
Executive OF the United States; and no
changes have taken place on the commen.e-
ment of the second term of President Mon
roe's administration. The Senate therefore
did not meet alter the Inauguration, by
call from the President, as is usual on
change of administration. We shall endea-

were made during the Session.. Among
them. we know were the following:

WASHINGTON, March g.

WASHINGTON, MaTCn y.
a fe1r cursory remarks on the late Session
Of Congress-We need no, remind our rea-
ders, how truly he prediction has been re-
alrzed, that the agitation OF the Missouri
subject to so late period of the late ses
sim of Congress, would defeat much USE
iul Legislation. Ii has been said, that we
wronged The opponents 10 the admission of
Missouri BY such intimations. TO this we
reply. that we only stated facts. and anlci-
pated consequences that could not but re-
suit from them. When men individually
are in state Of agitation, they are not in
a condition to do business, and still less
when congregated. When the ocean is vex-
ed by raging winds, the mariner of neces-
s,ty lies by, content to furl has sail when it
requires AL his skill 10 keep his good ship
from laundering under bare poles. With
respect TO the blame of what rs past, we
have said no more than that, II the admis.
sion OF Missouri into the Union had not
been opposed. this stale OF things had not
happened. To those who conscientiously
opposed the admission of Missouri we
should be the last TO shew any thing like
disrespect. We believe, indeed, that such
as opposed the admission OF Missouri; in or
der to compel her, by refusing to admit her
on any other terms, to introduce into her
constitution clause inhibiting slavery, la
al
information, and OF a misapprehension OF
the effect OF the course which they pro-
posed. The private letter, from Missouri
ought no. so nuch 10 have been relied on
as the unanimous declaration OF her author
ised agents; and, whatever Missouri might
have done had no attempt been made 10
coerce her, We are persuaded she would
never, under compulsiop, have introduced
such feature into her constitution. The
whole affair. however, is now happily set
tied, and we only advert 10 it as prelimina-
Ty to a lew observations on the late session
Of Congress.
OF the acts which passed, we have pub
lished list; anu we shall in day or two
present our readers with general view Of
the effect OF their provisions.
Of bills reported, anc not finally acted
upon, there were left on the table, of the
House OF Representatives alone; more than
one hundred-not TO speak Of measures
which were not reported upon. All these
bills must be introduced de novo at the ne xt
session, which does not commence until the
1st Monday in December next, as all bills
pending, in whatever state of their progress
through either house, fall to the ground OF
course, on the termination, not Of every seS-
sion, but of each congress.
The great subject Of the proposed alter
alton of the tariff of duties on the impora-
ton of foreign goods, was not once touch
ed during tie session, though repeatedly
pressed By the author OF the measure. The
bill, of kindred origin, for laying duties ON
sales of merchandise at auction, occupied
the attention OF The House of Repretenta-
tives one day, under rather favorable auspi-
ess and was then put to sleep, to wake no
mote We do not know that it can be co.,
s;dered q national misfortune, tina! the hrst
