SELECTIONS.

WAsHINGroN, December 4. This day will
commence according to the Constitution, the Sc
cond Session OF the Nineteeth Congress, which
must, according to the authority, terminate
on the Sd day of March next when its term will
expire.
The Senate and the House Of Repl esentstves,
II Is Known to our readers, composed OF the
same Members as al the last session, with the ey
ception oil the persons chosen, in the intermediate
time, to ill vacancies. II is reasonable suppo
sition, therefore, that the same opinions which
were expressed, on different topics, during the last
session, still prevail So that less of development
may be looked for than that which chsIacle yzed
the last session.
From that reason, however, and others, il may
be also fairly inferred, that more business will be
actually transacted. Some of the topics which will
present themselves have already been widely
debated, that nothing remains be said upon theln
and Others are Of nature too practical TO call for
much orato!ical illustration. Less time will there
lore De devoted TO each particular subject. The
Members who came into Congress with the last
Session, have become familiar with the mode of
transacting business in the bodies TO which they
respectively belong, and with details in the ope-
ration OF the several Departments of the Govern
ment OF which personal observation alone can en-
able citizen, however well instructed, TO form an
accurate conception. These causes will co-ope-
rate TO facilitate the despatch of the public bust
ness
What measures will receive the sanction of
Congress, al this session, experience de,ers us
from veniuring to predict. That the usual APP
preparations Tor the support of Government will be
made, as well as those for the permanent improves
meni OF our national detences, reason
to doubt That no new taxes are necessary, with
view 10 revenue, believe; and we doubt
whether any will be laid with view to the fur
Their encouragement of manufactures, though il
Will be much pressed, in reference PAT ticuarly to
the manufactures of wool. The most important
domestic question which anticipate, is that
which relates 10 the establishment of uniform sys-
TEN OF bankruptcy; not seeing much reason 10 hope,
from the tenscity OF opinion exhibited on the sub
Ject at the last session, that there will be effected
at this Session, any reform of the Judiciary.
As to our foreign relations, always rejoice
when they are OF such nature require no IN
deposition on the part of Congress- because that
Tact itself betokens amity and stability. We dis-
cover, In the perspective, however, at least two
subjects OF that nature which likely 10 come
under deliberations: the first, our commercial diff
ferences with Great British 1.-The second, the dis
pu,ed claims of our citizens on the Government OF
France, for indemnity for spoliatons. The frsl
we hope, will be easily arranged: with the latter
there will be more difficulty We trust il will be
handled with GOODNESS and deliberatioa Ii other
wise treated, 1t may prove, in the cad, 10 be the
Goriisn knot
With the anxious hope that the results of the
Session may be beneficial 10 common country,
and honorable to those who Contribute to them,
we enter upon the duties and lAboGs which the
season deso.yes upon us, with a determination, as
lar as lies in our power, TO 10 duty in all
things. Nat. Int
