CONGRESS.-It will be perceived by re-
ferring to the Congressional proceedings in
this days paper, that mr.. Holmes, OF Maine,
has introduced in the Senate, sundry resolu-
tons in relation TO the expediency Of amend
ing the existing rules of the Senate--which
are palpably aimed at tho anomalous course,
that has been pursued by mr. Randolph, in that
venerable body, during the rccen, session of
Congress There can be no doubt as to the
expediency, and moreover, the necessity Of
such a measure and we sincerely hope, and
we do not hesitate to say that it will, meet the
early and efficient consideration Of the Sc
nate, at the commencement Of tho next ses-
sion. The National Journal in remarking up
on the resolutions speaks thus,--"As TO the
resolutions of mr.. Holmes, they do credit to
that gentleman. They evidence that, amidst
the too prevalent disposition to submit 10 all
branches Of order and decorum, and to be-
come willing witnesses Of the prostration of
Senatorial character, there still exists ro-
dccnling spirit in that body, in which the pco
pie may confidently rely, for the protection of
its own dignity, and the character Of the ma
ton"
Congress have now concluded their delibe-
rations, for the present, and we presume have
began to dsperse from tho Capital-"some
one way and some another, and VIC may
soon expect to congratulate our friends on
their return TO their families and homes. The
they have discharged tho duties of the high
trust confidod to them, will cntitle them to Il
warm and generous "weieome home "

COM. PERRY.--We are very suro that
our readers will pcrusc with much pleasure,
the eloquent and feeling remarks of mr.. Ham
ilton, of South Carolina, in tic House of Re-
representatives., (Which will be found in our con
gressional summary relative TO the removal
of tho remains of our lamened PEKRy, from
the Island ofTrinidad, to the place Of his ma
tivity. We can but hope that some measures
will be taken ere long, to cause this desirable
object to be accomplished. Certainly it would
afford to his bcroavcd family, and numerous
friends a source of consolation, to have the
remains of one 80 dear to their memories con-
vcycd from the solitary spot where he is de-
posted, To his native isle and entombed with
in tho circle that encompasses his departed
kinsmen and connections.
We copy tho following from tho Providence
Journal, Of Monday last
What has been may be again" An ounce
ofprcvention is worth pound of cure" and
this maxim applies as well in political as in
other concerns When tho people have the
primary election Of their public servants, il is
almost impossible to corrupt or wheedle them
into an imprudcnt or unworthy choice; but
when they elect those who arc to elect an in
diyidual to fill the most digni6cd and impor-
tant oiiico they can bcstow, the greatest eau
tion ought TO be used before hand in the Sc
lection ofsuch men as will be in truth the or
gans of tho peoples voice, and the peoples
wishes.
Tho choice Of Senator to the United
States Congress for six years from March
next, is to take place in tho Legislature of
this State next October; before which time
the people will have an opportunity Of select
ing their Representatives with view to this
important election.
IL Is rumoured that gentleman, who il
seems is never tired Of being a candidate, and
who has SO often come within one of his wish.
cs, has at this moment majority IN Grand
Committee. If so the form of that body must
have been completely remoulded in the hands
of the potter since the last October Session
II should be recollceted however, that twenty
two. now Representatives were chosen las,
April, and it,would not be surprising il indus
