From the Ne York Daily Advertiser.

A new mode of rgisIatine has been lately in
lroduced into Congress, which bids fair To be
established as regular system hereafter. We
a!luGr TO the practice of admitting double re-
ports from cowmii,res 10 WON specific mai-
tcrs are referred fo the purpose OF ascertaning
facts, and occasionally for The expression Of
their opinirns. IL The present sto'e OF things
this NAV be necessary, Cor aught we know; but
W. are much mistaken if il does no, prove in
the end 70 be very movement. The practice
shows the misc h,ef hat necessarily arises from
such an eleotione'rng spir, as now governs
the national legislature. Almost every subIec.
of the lcas importance, aud some apparently
If no real ,mportance, are selz d hold OF by Vi
client parlzan> Us the means Of forwarding the
views of the party Ia which they belong, and
the discussions which 70 low, Instead of eluc-
dating the matters in debate, are solely Intend
ed To produce effect, abroad The long-wind-
ed harrangurs, which occupy So much time, *
cost so much money to the :reasurv, are no'
calculated, or exrrclrdro convince The me mbers
but TO promote t@e,rw and interests Of some
candidates Tor Office. Bcnring very thing to
,hr furrherance o. cleo riorcelng objects, nresid
inp officers are chosen who will exercise their
mowers and PREF ogarives for The Same purpose.
Under their supremacy, Commi,tefs are APP
pointed who are known 10 be IN tavour Ut = par
ticular individual, and the acts oil sucn COM
mitteeS are directed, not 10 the discovery or
the establishment of truth bur 10 The interests
OF the party, and the pre- jpdice OF an opposing
candidata. This practlc, il presiding was es-
rablished in the Senate two years ago under the
auspices Of the present Vice president OF the
United St ,tes who, single scs ~io", by Lends
ing himself 10 par y views and inIereS's, did
more to PROSTATE me dignity and Character Of
that body L. an had been accomplished bv all
his prpIe crssors. The present Speaker OF the
House of Representatives was doubtless select
ed for The same general purpose; and he has
,hewn himself fai hful 10 the views OF h Sc by
whom he was appointed. On all Committees
Of impor, ance, he took care TO secure majority
friendly To the party to which he belonged, and
in that way, did all he could 10 promote tie in
trre>ts s. eventual Success Of his iavouri,e cam
didarc. The resul: may b" sren in the reports
of several commi, ees, which were obviously
Intended for the great objec, of The parry. On
If these was ca the subject of the "Six Mill
TIA MEN" A more undisguissd attempt to
hoodwink III. pubic than that report, We have
no recollection of having ever seen.
The rsp"r, on the assault upon the Presi
dents private secretary, is now followed up with
a repor' from the minority.
II this course is to- be pursued hereafter, the
election OF Gen ia kson bids fair 10 be very
expensive 10 the country.
