From the Nationa, Journal.


Over the Committee on Commerce, Mr..
Newton, the venerable father of the House Of
Reprcsenati,e has, for many years, presided
with much ability and usefulness. 1t is true,
he was not on the Committee at The last SEES
sion, because he was prevented by indisposition
from reaching the city until some time after
the Committees were appointed. MIR. Newton
deserves high consideration on the score OF long
and faithful services; and if lie knowledge Of
our commercial interests which is furnished
by experience merits higher rank than spe-
culative notions and crude theories we do not
think that Mr. Newton's claims could have
been Justly postponed 10 make way for MIR.
Cambreleng. 1t is in the ecollection of our
readers tina, Mr.. Cambreleng made speeches
and calculations TO show with what neglect the
commercial interests Of our country had been
treated by the present Administration; and
appended 10 them direful prophecy Of future
depressions. If his estimates and his ominoas
predictions have been VIGOROUSLY defeated in
every respect, they have obtained for him so
moch consideration in his party,as to induce his
appointment TO station his unftness for which
is proved by the misca!culations and miscnn-
captions which are abundant in all his com
merciai dispositions.
Aided by three other Opposition men on the
Committee, Mr.. CambreIens will he able to
carry his measures, against the opposition Of
superior talent and experience: and it will be
matter OF some surprise 10 US, if a legislative
measure does not originate in this Commiuea
which will convey TO the public a lamentable
confirmation Of the estimate we have formed Of
the sagacty of its chairman.
The Administration minority on this Com
miitee consists Of Mr.. Newton, Mr.. Gorbam,
and MI Barney,
