THE NEXT CONGRESS

Inc approaching meeting OF new Congress,
which every body knows win take place on
Monday next has given the numerous editors,
who have announced it as an item of news, an
opportunity to speculate upon the probable
course that body would pursue, and Of sketching
a plan of business to be transacted during their
winter session. Although we have little knowl-
edge Of the political green-room, and have no
privileges Of looking behind lie scenes at the
capitol, we may, nevertheless, be allowed the
common right Of our countrymen TO guess at
some OF the most prominent topics of Congress
deliberation. We are told from some quarters
that new discriminating, if not exterminating
tariff will be carried through triumphantIy-
that internal improvements viii find new and
powerful advocates, and last, though not least,
Congress must settle in Caucus, who shall be
the Legitimate" candidate for the next Presi-
deHcy, and be accordingly considered in reg
ular nomination"
We have before taken occasion to express
our opinion Of the ineficacy Of such measures
to the attainment Of any object in view, BY the
promoters of these self-formed Juntas. Nor
have any recent elections, where the principle
has been tried, afforded us any ground for alter
ing that opinion. We are, moreover, wen
satisfied that members Of Congress were sent to
Washington for other purposes, than contriving,
and compromising for the next succession and
that il they make any contracts or pledges in
consistent with the free expression Of public O.
pinion, the people, instead Of ratifying their
treaties or contracts, will not fail to reject them
with the contempt they deserve. We do yet
hope better things Of this Congress and that
practical regard to duty, and sense Of resPoR-
sibility to their constituents, win take the place
Of political continuance and selfish management.
