We are Of the same mind with the Boston Cou.
,ier when il confesses il has not the courage to
speculate upon the matters which are to occupy
the attention of Congress from its down sitting
tots uprising, Sufficient to the night is the evil
brOuyh. by every mail: and we expect to realize
many fearful visions of long messages, and Ion
ger speeches, sarcastic retnr!s and pugnacious re
ionders. the line whereof stretches out TO the
crack Of DOOM or to the crack of patience.
Jmdes Smah-A resolution was offered IL
the House Of Representatives of the Georgia Lee
gislature, by Mr.. Petit, on the 18th inst. recon-
intending General Jackson, for reelection to the
Presidency, and another by MIR. Hudson, of Put
nam, recommending Judge Smith, Of S. c. as
candidate for the Vice Presidency, in the follow
ing terms:
R.sOIrsd, That the pure patriotism, unbend-
,ng integrity. uniform political consistency, and
faithful public services Of William Smith, OF
South Carolina. entitle him to the second office
IN the gift Of the American people; and that we
will recommend, and cordially support him for
the Vice Presidency of these States.
The u, S. Gazette, (Philadelphia) in referring
to the business likely to be brought before Con-
sress at the ensuing session, says:
There can be but little doubt, we think, that
bill to renew the charter of the United States
Bank will be presented to Congress early in the
session. We believe majority OF both houses
are decidedly friendly to the Bank as 1t is now
chartered; and many of those who rank among

such an Institution, and limit their opposition to
change in some Of the provisions OF its charter.
The bill, therefore, we ausur, will pass both hou-
ses, and be offered to the President for his appro.
val. Will he sign the bill? He has twice ex-
pressed himself opposed to the Bank upon con-
sututiOna scruples, and offered for the conslde-
ration oil Congress, rough plans OF nonstrous H.
sntutiOns that have nc affinity to the policy and
plan OF our government--schemes Of treasury
n'l5 and governmental interference, that shock
ed lle sober sense of experienced statesmen, and
me transactors of regular exchange. The Pre-
'dent NAV find it best; we really think he may,
ogYe another instance Of opposing practice to
theory, and pleading necessity" the tyrant's
plea.
The Legislature Of South Carolina was to
commence its annual session on Monday last
The Charleston Gazette, referring to the event.
says: A crisis in state affairs is generally sup
posed to be at hand, and to depend upon its deli
oerations. Parties have arrived at this pitch Of
excitement. that half measures are not to be look
ed Tor. Every effort will doubtless be made by
the violent for the attainment of Nulli6cation,
whether through the legitimate call Of Conven'
lion, or by the less protraeted, aud uncoustitu
''Onal assumption of power, to that end. By
That body itself. We forbear to conjecture and
dread to contemplate the progress Of the dim
