November s9.-It appears to he supposed by
some, but we do not know why, that the Con
gress will have before it, at the coming SEES
sion, but little business of interest. We are
of opinion, on the contrary, that there will be
an unusual despatch of business at this SEES
sion aud that it will be rendered additional
ly interesting, by the accession Of splendid la
lent which this Congress has received. We
hope that nothing in the state of our Foreign
Relations may call for the exercise of the
powers of Congress; but we should imagine,
that the unusually long recess, of Just three
quarters of year, cannot have been wholly
barren of incident in that department of our
Government. Under this impression, we look
with some interest to the disclosures which
the Executive Message will afford on that
head, as well as TO the recommendations re-
garding our Domestic Policy which it may
contain. In the vast field of our Domestic
Concerns, the objects which invite the atten-
ton Of Congress are so numerous, and in their
nature SO various, that the difficulty will be in
selecting, and not in discovering them. We
shall not attempt to enumerate them they
are present to every readers mind. We will
venture but one prediction, and express but "A
single wish. We predict the passage, in some
shape, of an act for very moderate increase
Of the duties on certain imported articles, such
as wOollens, cutlery, SJc.-and we trust anO-
Their Session viii not pass, without abolshing,
or at least modifying, SO much Of onr laws AS
makes debt, and even suspicion of debt, pc
nal offence.
OF whatever may be transacted IN either
House Of Congress, our readers shall have an
account, which we hope will be more than u
sualy satisfactory, from our having engaged
talented Reporters. When The subject is of
sufficient interest, the only limit ito the am
pIitude Of our reports will be the limit of our
space for recording them. Prompiitude how
ever, will be aimed at, rather than dilation =
and, as far as il is possible, the Proceedings Of
each day shall be fully reported on the follow
ing morning. H..
