CONGRESS-

In the Senate, the greater part Of yesterday
was devoted to the consideration OF the report
of the Committee Of Conference Of the Senate
on the subject of the dsagreeing votes OF the
two Hou ,es, on the bill making appropriations
for CARRYING into effect the Greek treaty. a re-
solution was finally adopted to agree to the
proposition of the Conferees of the House Of
Renre sentatives. A resolution was offered by
MIR. Harrison, and passed by vote Of 26 TO IA
to proong the session Of Congress until Thurs
day next, to enable Congress to dispose oil the
great mass of pressing business that must other
wise remain Enacted on for the want Of time.
In the Hoase Of Representatives, yesterday,
several resolutions asking for information on
various subjects, were laid on the table The
resolution laid on the table on the preceding
dav, by Mr.. Sloane, Of Ohio, on the subject OF
any grant Of land to any Commissioner or Agent
of the United States. for the negotiation OF any
Indian treaty, was adopted by tie House. TIE a
mendment made by the Senate in the bill for the
relief of Mr. Monroe, by which the sum APP
propria,ed was raised from S $4,000 to some
what more than 500 900, was disagreed to by a
vol. of sc 10 81. Several private bills, received
from the Senate, were then taken up, acted on
in Committee, and ordered 70 a third reading
to day. Some bills from the Senate, 10 enable
the Presiden, Of the United States TO hold trea-
ties with certain Indian nations, were acted on
in Committee, and passed.

ters, insinua.es, softens, and denounccs, just as
the fit is on him, in the same breath: there is
something forever behind the curtain,sto dis
close. but il is never told. The most bitter in
vectives are penned; and yet the administration
gets on as smoothly as il these chivalrous
knights Of the type never existed.
The real object Of all this abuse about the cor
rup,ion of the press, may be easily seen through.
An incumbent for the Presidential chair in 1929
is uppermost in the heads Of these restless edi
tors; but it is not our purpose to agitate that
topic at present; or we might attempt TO clear
away the rubbish with which they are o3scuring
the real merits Of the question: we take i, for
granted President Adams will be reelected by
the people to that exalted station, and though
we are not sufficiently sansuine rot to expect
opposition, vet the result every day appears
more certain. His administration; so FAR has
proceeded on ground purely american; and ii
his opponents wish TO examine how hrmiy his
popularity is based, for the present among
hundred instances we will merely refer them to
the vote appropriating money for the long con-
tested Panama mission, which was carried bya
triumphant majority As the charge Of cor
ruption is particularly laid TO the door OF the
Secretary Of State, the reader mustat this stage
oil our argument, perceive is entirely ground
less. On future occasion we shall incon'ro-
vertibly prove that some Of the leading prints,
commissioned by him to print the laws are a.
mong the few that oppose the administration
Their names and place OF publication from the
official list shall be inserted, to put this matter
beyond doubt. 1t will then appear that the
corruption Of the press does not arise from the
patry pittance Of 500 per annum, dispensed
to seventy four presses out Of four hundred and
fifty, but from designing men who take advan-
tage of the editorial depravity Of the day, to
accomplish their own purposes at the expense
Of the public veal The success OF the present
administration it is evident does not depend
on their breath; it has weight Of character;
in the estimation Of the nation and Of Congress,
which despises the Vaccinations ofpoIitical adj
venturers and demagogues, which looks for no
support or appreciation, that does not emanate
from the spontaneous affection and unbiased
sdffrages OF the people. The measures Of the
administration shall occupy future number

chiefly of the Mechanics and Farmers bank OF
Philadelphia, Elkton bank Of Maryland, Cor

of Banks Of the State Of New-York. This spu-

A correspondent Of the National Advocate,
not Noah's0 says that "the selection OF Mr.,
Barbour to preside over the War Department,
gave grea, satisfaction TO the officers and friends
Of the army, who had been disguised by the
wicketlness and folly Of his predeccssor-by
the system Of espionage, partiaity, favouritisn
and extravaganza which had characterized his
ad Administrations" The writer then complains
that the incumbent has not discarded the fawn-
ing sycophanls by whom his predecessor was
surrounded. He says there are SO many per-
sons, and those Immediately abou. the Score
tary, who are interested in preserving the pre-
sent order Of things, that it is feared he is not
correctly informed of the real state of the ar
my; and adds, "There can be but little hope Of
reform so long as the sleek Ma or V. d. V. re-
mains Chief Clerk, and Mr.. Calhoun's bosom
friend, one ofthe late Directors Of the Bank Of
Columbia, is at the head OF the Indian Office
They will tell him fifty times a day that Calls
WE'LL" but all is not well, reformation is ne
cessary 10 preserve the army"
We repose too much confidence in the indus
try, sagacity and independence of Mr.. Barbour,
to believe for a moment, that his Chief Clerk,
or the "Chicf Of the Bureau Of India Affairs"
could long deceive him; or that they would be
retained a day after being suspected by him. 1t
is worthy Of his inquiry, however, whether pub
lie opinion in relation to the administration of
the War Department, is in any manner inf1u-
enced by the presence of men known to be the
devoted friends Of MIR. Calhoun. The waning
popularity Of the Vice President, makes 1t ne
cessary that his old partizans Who are retained
in office, should not be suspected Of usins their
places TO the furlherance of his ambitious pro-
jects.
