The frst session of the 18th Congress has
been brought TO close, after sitting of t5Venty-
AE,tr weeks The following extract from the
National Journal will, perhaps, show how their
time has been disposed Of
aIt appears that fve weeks we're spent IN
discussing the Judicial Biltln the House Of Re
Dresenta,ives, which bill was afterwards indsf-
,iteiv bosfponed--seven weeks were devoted TO
the debate on the Constitutional amendments,
from the further consideration OF which the
Select Committee .,as ultimately discharged, with
c14 coming 10 any result-f0sr weeks were occu-
MED in dIsputation on the restrictive amend
lnent of the resolutions of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs relative to the mission TO rama
ms which was finally rejected, and the appro'
priation bill passed without reference TO any
,esoIuions--fzoo weeks were allowed TO the
claims of the revolutionary officers, which were

probation of the great mass OF the American

shall be recorded, that under bis auspices the
Senate ef the United States was converted INTO
an arena for the display OF the viiest passions Oh
che human heart--that neither personal worth,
talents or gray hairs, the living or the DEAD,
found respect or protectlon--that men, the re-
presentatlves OF sovereign states, elected Tor
their age and experience, and supposed oy
these qualifications to be able to exert saiuta'
rv controlling influence over the more impetu-
Gus branch of the National Legislature--that
these men should be driven by the policy OF
