CONGRESS.

Last Monday week was the d,y CIR the meet
ing Of Congress. We shall BY our next probably
get the two or three irst days proceeding and also
the Presidents Message, dpcu neut which is
looked for with great de Il Of Interest, aad which
We will lay before our readers al soon as it comes
10 hand.
Among the important subjects which viii come
before Congress during the present Sc ssion, will
be the ad mission Of Texls into the Union, and
the disposition of the surplus revenue. As 10 the
first we believe little opposition will he n AIDE to
the admission, except by John q. Adams, and a
few others Of the northern members who are tlnc-
tured with abolonisln. The surplus revenue
will be the apple Of d>cord, Tie entire ii de,al
party, and all the advocates of Claws nsca-
ed American System, will be for making the plan
Of distribution commenced last year, permanent.
They see IN this plan the resurrection Of all their
long cherished federal principles; ii is, indeed,
Just such one as would SUIT the views Of IL imam
cier like Alexander Hamilton. In opposition to
this distribution party, will be the whole democrat
&c portion Of the members. They Will be in ia
vor OF the red Iction OF the revenue /, the actual
wants of the gwernneut. This Is the poper
plan, and this il the plan which will no ,ubt ut-
mately prevail. Neither President jackson, nor
Pre- sldeat Van Burea, will ever sanction a mea-
sure, the Obvious tendency Of which is 10 it,
crease the power and influence OF toe General
Goyernr ct by making the States pensioners to
1t; a measure which has no warrant IN the consti.
tuition. and Is altogether foreign to tie genius Of
our institutions.
CJisress, At the present session, cla do much
to arrest tuiue pem'cious legislation. Let then
cut d1wn the reveaue t. the necessary expenses
Of tie Government let the me nbers avoid the
unnecessary debates, and disgracetul buwhms
which characterized the last session: let them at
iend 10 the general Interests of the county, avoid
Iag party feeling and sectional prejudice, al,
when they retirh h nc tfo II their IaJ,s they WI
be greeted with the appiovms voice OF their con
stltnents, ""eIl JIae god a ID ialauI servants.

graceful dciea,. upsn tic land, winch had d'sl'car-
tened thu sanguine patriots and thrown a deep
gloom over the public mind. We we're not very
Old At the time, bu, recollect well the intense
an,iet, which pervaded every breast and marked
every countcnanoc, when the news Of Huil's sur
render and the invasion Of our Northwestern IRON
tier reached Richmond. 1t was at such IA moment
as this that the New York Republicans, OF
whom Van Buren, was one Of the leaders, deserted
the administration OF Mr.. Madison, already suiii-
cientlv thwarted bv the violence OF iactions OPP
position, and wen, over 10 Dewitt, Clinton, man
of splendid talents but of unstable principles. Who
mi,led By hs ambition, lent his name for this pur-
pose, 10 the +" iederalists OF the Boston stamp,
who we're so insensible to the honor ofther coun-
try and to the obligations Of patriotism, as to toast
at their festivals the ast-anchor'd isle" and, in
their legislative and municipal resolutions, to de-
clare it " unbccomnc moral and religious Peo-
pie to rejocc at the victories" achieved by our
arms
That Van Buren, afterwards deserted from the
Clnonian party, and endeavorcd, by zeal which
outs,rpped that of the steady supporters of Mr..
Madison, to conceal his previous aposlacy, we
have never questioned No sooner was Mr.. Madison
reelected by triumphant vote, than, with ,ha, in
stinctivc hostility 10 minorics, which is the lead
ing feature Of his political creed, he abandoned the
sinking ship. What credi, he deserves for the de-
serton OF his Cntonian friends, il is not for us TO
say. l, was only adding treachery to ,rea,hery.
In conclusion, i, may no, be amss 10 add tina,
Rufus King himself supported the war. after the
reelection of MIR. Madison, wha zeal and efIicicn-
CIV not surpassed BY any other indsidnal-and yet
he never pretended that on this account he was
less feaero!ist than before. and when VIC reco-
lec, that, eight years afterwards, Mr.. Van Buren,
was the warm advocate of MIR. Kings election to
the Senate, for the express purpose Of opposing
the admission Of Missouri into the Union, upon a
footing of equality with her sister States, we see
the attraction Of affinity" again brought into ae.
ton, and uniting them together as closely as in the
Caucus nomination of 1912
With these facts, we are done with the subject
at least for the present having shown, we trust
conclusively, to every UMPIRE ,diced mind, that
though we mistaken in CHASING Mr. Van Blu
rem among the members of the " Y Caucus of
1872, we were not mistaken in the fact of which
that membership, was only referred to as IA very
immatcial and insignificant circumstance. Ii he
approved Of the proceedings of that Caucus, as
Mr.. Butler admits that he did, we have Just the
same right to quote those proceedings in evidence
against him, rs though he had actively particpa-
ted in them.

State who have incurred his hate by daring to think
for themselves-Among those whom he has thu, de-

1--WE understand the President, while here the

Tor voting against the appropriations for carrying
mo effect the late treaty with the Cherokee,.
Upon being told that Mr.. Peyton had voted for
the appropriations, he persisted in his assertion TO
the contrary, stating that he correctly informed
upon the subject and could rot be mistaken. To
do Justice TO Mr.. Peyton and to ascertain whether
the President had not been deceived upon this, as
upon many other sub ects we examined our files OF
the Globe, and find in the one under date of July
IND, that Mr.. Peyton both voted and spoke in ia
YOUR OF the appropriations in question. We have
also understood that the original journals of the
House have been examined upon this subject, and
are found to correspond exactly with the account
OF the proceedings in the GIObe'

MIR. Peyton Not he. Having taken up the iul-
preston that Mr.. P.h had voted against the Cherokee
