| The two Houses ofCongress terminated lhr.I
| legislative labors, for the present session, OF
Saturday night. The meeting this mornings
merely pro lorna matter; and before his Ds
| per will be in the hands of the greater pat d
even our City readers, the adjournment Ui0
have taken place. The House Of Represent
tives were taken by surprise on Saturday, BY
the unusual course If Mr.. S. Wright, evidsnI!
the resul! Of concert and consultation, IN NOV
ing a vote Of thanks TO the Speaker. Such
resolution at the first session OF a Congress ur'
less where the speaker resigns his stauon, q
entirely without precedent. II is true. that l&
leaders of the Opposition have omitted no OF
porluni,y, during the session which hasJos' ter
minated, Of expressing their universal and u1
qualified contempt Of preceden,s; and in IhN
case they have given another practical lllus'a
ton of that feeling. The Speaker has cera''
ly meritrd the thanks Of his party. lhoS
thanks he has now received. But The ProP'
may be as much 1t loss as we are 10 dIstoW
any extraordinary merit in his course, or adj"
~ in his decisions, which should call Tor 80 e.
traordinarv a mark Of appreciation. DID 'h'
Opposition party in The House consider 1t ne
cessary to direct and fix public opinion on 'o'
subject? Did they desire, by this course, 1"
awe the people into thai. admiration which ioH
might not voluntariaIly express? Was ap,
tended to CONVEX, the voice Of the nation MO-
mere echo of party reclamation! We ~
justified in supposing that some such mou,'
led TO this movements; because we are r''e''
a, loss to perceive, in the career oil he oFs.'
CT, any of those Indications OF mental super"
i,y or political magnamimiiy, which Of 'o'~
selves, would be sufficient TO warrant thi' ho'
procedure.
