ADJOURNMENT or CONCRESS.--A-
mong the most important business before the
Senate and House of Representatives OF the
United States, for some weeks past, was rcso-
lutions fixing on an carly day To close the
present session. The question Is atlcngth de-
cidod--a joint resolution having passed both
Houses, agreeing on the 22d Of May, for their
adjournment. 1t is sincerely to be regretted,
that nearly three months ofthc session, should
have been absorbed by NJ DuiIic and CO., IN Il
aoiCLcd and Improbable dobatc on the propos-
cd amendments TO the Constitution--their
principal object being to oppose the admins
tration fmr ADAMS, rather than to effect any
nmcndinont proposed, and leaving only three
or four weeks for the completion Of great
mass orunfnishod business, of immediate ne
ccssHy, and which very seriously demands
their considerations

who may be pleased to favor us with their adj
yeriiscmcnts to be inscrtedin the next number,

Tuesday morning, as we shall be under the re-
ccssity of preparing our paper fdl the pross,

TIE VICE-PRESIDENTS 5 APOLOGY
--Wc have read with care the Speech of the
Hon John c. Calhoun, made by that gentle
man, Immediately after the Senate passed the
resolution resembling the Rule which gave TO
the presiding officer of that body, the appoint
mont of committees 1t is astonishing indeed,
That the Vice President and as John Randolph
said, ,pould-be, aud as WE say, Rorcr-5rW-bc,
PRrsIpENr, should havo attempted TO Justify
himself in the mannor he has, in his most
gross and unprinciped dcrcliction of duty as
President of the Senate. ~ could not have
escaped The recollection of our readers that
ever since the latter part of December, John
Randolph has boon permitted by MIR Calhoun,
TO abuse every member of the Administration,
in the most vulgar and obscene language,
And now, when Mr.. Calhoun, finds that the
people, about whom he aud his 2r0rd. Gro.
M'DurrIE, talk so iocingiy have become dis
gustcd with his conduct in every point of
view that can be taken of At; lac attempts to
iussfy himself by saying-thot "aftcr giving
TO the subject, his right of calling a uAD MAN
to order, the most serious aud candid considc.
ration, 81 am fully satisfied that it does not
belong to the CHAIR, [so are WEI TO call a
member to order" What pity that such a
man should he driven by his own ambition into
such wrctchcd diicmala as that in which mr.
Calhoun is found.
-"ecs"-
1t gives us great pleasure to observe
that the able manner in which Mr.. Pcarce
has acquitted himself during the Session
