Congressional Summary.


The most important subject now bsr
fore Congress is the Greek cause. On
Monday the 10Th inst. MIR. Webster in
troduced his motion and supported ii
with an eloquent address. He entered
into minute and elaborate examination
of the principles of that, combination
of crowned heads, which threatened the
safety of popular liberty in Europe; and
displayed in forcible manner the omi
nous and dark forebodings towhich that
combination led every thinning mind
He appealed to his country, as the
Great Republic, to take a part in the
general cause Of the rights aud liberties
of mankind, which this question invov-
ed, and concluded by observing, what
ever might be the issue Of the present
struggle of Greece, It would be to him
a theme of no regret that he had asked
in the name of seven millions OF suffer
ing freemen, one word from this house
of cheering and sympathy. Mr. Web
ster was no less ably and cloquently
opposed by Mr.. Cary of Georgia, lie
opposed it because he thought it breach
oil the neutral system which has govern
Gu America long with such tranquility

fowers. Mr. Cary was followed by MIR.

terests. Mr.. Randolph, in short and
eloquent speech concurred in the same
opinion. lie was opposed by Mr.. Clay,
who was followed by Mr.. Dwight, OF
Mass. in an eloquent and mastery
speech. The, discussion is uncommon
ly,warm and animated. The talents of
tha house seem equally divided. And it
may yet be considered doubtful il the
Greek question will pass in the affirma-
tive. 49,.
"a motion has been introduced into
the House and unanimously passed, to
the following effect: That as mark of
national respect, the President cause to
be held in readiness, a ship of the line
and invite the Marquis de la Fayette, to
take passage therein, whenever his dis
position t, visit this country be signi-
fed"
e The present aspect OF the Greek
cause in Congress, affords serious and
interesting subject of contemplation to
the student of American history. Ger
tain it is that the feelings of all America
concur in the motion of Mr.. Webster.
The torrent of enthusiastic admiration,
which, like stream, has rolled from
one extremity to the other of this union,
in favor of the constancy,. perseverance,
and fortitude of the Greeks In the cause
of freedom, would, no doubt, induce us
to take an active part in their behak.
The supreme, deliberative body of the
country seems vaciliating between its
desire of expressing its.public sympathy
in the Suffering cause of liberty and reli-
g;on-and the policy Of avoiding rup-
ture with any. foreign power, What
will he the event of their DELFT arations,
we cannot divine. i Whether they will
suffer cold, contracted, calculating po-
Icy to witaer the noblest feelings of
man in favor of fellow man, and shrink
before the menaced frown of the Holy
Alliance, it will be in vain to progaosti-
cate.
A word to our neighbors. We would
respectfully invite the attention of the
Trustees of the town of Ma;tinsburg to
the vely dangerous and exposed situa-
ton of the Cistern in front of the Court
House. This Cistern has been without
a cover for weeks, with something like
five feet of water in it. We presume it
is not necessary to say, that it is ex-
tremely dangerous on account of the
children. A word, we hope, is sufficient.

Mr.. Webster has at length brought
before Congress, his long-wished for
motion on the Greek Cause. The
Speech which accompanied this motion
may challenge any thing which has been
delivered on the floor of Congress this
twenty years, for the strong and mascu-
line eloquence, the indignant pathOs,
and the close exposition of the subject
which it displays. We are sorry that its
length precludes it from place in our
columns, and to make extracts from it,
wouldbe but to mangle its beauties.
