Quere-is it right that members Of Con
gress, whether of the Senate or the House,
should desert their seats, for several days,
when legislative business Of the highest i'm
portance is to be transacted - for the purpose
j of making nominations OF President and Vice
President? As the choice of members Of
Congress by the President, for offices, has
become frequent, do they not expose them
selves to the suspicion of seeking that kind
of favor, by participating in the nomination
OF a President, or a Vice President who is to
be all powertul?-Nat. Ga=.
a. Gov Hamilton, who was some time
since elected an Ensign, has been rapidly
promoted A resignation of Brigadier Gene

is said that some of his votes are illegal, and
that Walter is elected. We need not inform
the reader what all this means, and that 5

Something Ne1c.-We observe in one of
$fhe letters Of the Washington Correspondent
3of the United States Gazette, the following
zparagraph, which attracted our attention as
something entirely NEW in the history Of le
2gislatiun in this country. Speaking of the
various attempts to delay and defeat the
Bank Bill in the Senate, the writer adds
ait is feared that some such machinery
svill be put in operation as was used in The
ease of the silk Bill, while il was pending in
the House of Representatives. There was
N confident expectation OF the passage OF that
Dill. even among the experienced members OF
y Congress, only the morning before the bill
was rejected. But it is said that a great re-
Noiution OF votes was effected by the %circula
a ion of a paper, among the jackson men, APP
aealing to them not TO place the President in
he unpleasant situation of being compelled
Mo veto the bill. Thus the decision of the
blouse is said to have been diverted from the
course in which il was going, and the bill was
defeated. presume that there was no sig
hature to the paper but the party by whom
Sd was handed about, testified the source

found e~flectual in reference to the Silk Bill,
why may it not be resorted to, and with
/ equal success, 10 reference to the bill to con
\ tinue the charter OF the Bank? There APP
snears to be no limit to the schemes to discip-
Zine Congress. When violence fails, appeals
Mare made TO personal prejudices; and when
&ppeals OF that kind iail, outrage Is resorted
