THE FAMILY CIRCLE.

We know not how it is with our readers, but there is something in those simple yet endearing words, family circle which, whenever we hear them uttered, touches tender chord within us. How true is the sentiment, that we do not rightly value privilege until we have been deprived of it! He who, by death, or the various changes of life, has been compelled to witness the. breaking up of this family circle, he only can fully appreciate the blessed condition of those who, under the parental roof and around tho old fireside of childhood, can gather in one unbroken circle, evening af- ter evening-Father, Mother, sister ard brother, happy in themselves and in each other. ....
 A full unbroken household!
 It fs pleasant sights
 The Mothers smile is sweeter tlien
 The Fathers glance more bright.
 Would that such scenes were moro common, that there were more sympathy between the young and the aged that the child, instead of being forced abroad in search of those amusements which his na- ture demands, might find his home the fountain head of all his enjoyments; that the parent, instead of rendering that home cold and gloomy, might strive to illuminate it with a perpetual sunshine, the sunshine of the heart, by entering more into the feelings of the child, casting off tho crust ..f ,Ua'o and becoming young again. There is too little confidence, too little common feeling existing between the aged and the young. Were there more, we should not sec so many deserted firesides, SO much coldness and restraint where thero should be nothing but warmth and fulIness of affection. Our young men would be less exposed to temptations and ruin, and our old men would not find the weight of years go bnrdensome Portl0nder.
 A debtor being confined in jail, sent to his creditor to let him know that he had propo- sal to make, which he believed would be for their mutual benefit. The creditor called on him to hear 1t. "I have been thinking" said the former. "that 1t is Q very bad thing for me to lie here, and put you to the expense of one dollar and twenty five cents per week. My being so chargeable to you has given me great uneasiness. for God knows what 1t may cost you in the end. Therefore. what would propose Is this; you shall let me out of lail. and allow me ono dollar per week, ana let the twenty'fve cents go towards dlSchareing tho debt"

c-. The endeavors Of the Hon. \ A
WISE TO unveil to the public eye, some OF The
m;,doings Of the executive departments, have
c.used the presses friendly TO the administration
If Gen. Jackson to assail his character in a
hitter and yindictive msnner-aud 10 misrePre-
seut SANDER, and BLACKBOARD his motives in eve
~ possible shape. The course Of this fearless
exposer of public wrongs, will we hope, ere
long be viewed by the people in its true light,
and hi. motives appreciated by those whom he
has endeavored TO serve by attempting to lay
omen to their view the corruption and dishonesty
that exists among those who manage the affairs
of the government. There are, it is true, some
carts of his conduct that cannot escape censure,
for when highly excited, he, like most other
men, often passes the bounds of prudence and
aavs his course open to animadversion. But,
notwithstanding he sometimes errs, we believe
him to be actuated by pure motives, and a sin
cere desire to acqualnt the people, and the world
with the true character and pursuits OF the ex-
ecuiiye officers, at Washington. And this should
be done. Eight years have passed away-two
terms Oh buc presiuCutisi SmOC ba'c NAP4iSN~
and no one, except the managers, knows in what
manner the trusts confided to their care, have
been executed. A thorough examination ought
to be had into all the departments of the gov
eminent to ascertain if possible, if frauds have
been practised, and if they have, the public
should know it, if not, an examination could do
no harm TO any one.
We have waited for some time since the ad-
journment of Congress. to see if those papers
which have been so loud in their condemnation
of Mr.. Wise, would show him justice enough TO
publish one re solution Of the Investigating Com
nittee Of which he was chairman, but as yet, IT
has not, as we can discover, appeared in one OF
them. The resolution was offered by a red hot
Jackson Van Buren, man, (Mr. Pearce of r. ID
and adopted, unanimously, by a com
posed Of six friends Of the administration, and
three Wings.
Resoired, uNANIMoUsLY, That notwithstand
ing the highly exciting topics which have been
discussed before this committee, and the frequent
animatIng debates, the Hon. Henry A. Wise, as
their chairman, has at all times SO conducted
as TO entitle him 10 their thanks, which are here
by accorded.

Now tat Congress has adjourned, and its
members gone TO their homes, the question is be
ginning 10 be asked, " what has it done Z" The
answer is short, and easily given. Nothing for
the public good. This may seem an abrupt and
harsh answer, but it is true to the letter. The
great and important measures that ought to have
claimed the attention and action of that body,
have all, in some way or other, been passed by
or put down. The disposition OF the Surplus Re
venue and the Fertilization Bill were strangied
in the Senate. The House had passed them
both together and sent them to the Senate, where
the leaders, T. Benton & Co, determined, ra-
Their than the Surplus Revenue should be distri-
buted, TO let the public service suffer by being left
without the means for its prosecution. The Ar
my Bill, the Land Bill, aud the Revenue Bill,
were all defeated. The Bill for repeating the
Treasury Circular, passed both houses OF Con-
rres,. and was sent 10 the President for his sig
nature, but it never afterward saw the light OF
day. The past session, we believe, was the
first since the election Of Gen. jackson, in which
the friends of the administration have had a
majority in both houses Of Congress, and no SEES
sion since the commencement of our government
has been so barren of usefulness TO the country.
Formerly, the Wings were charged with re-
tarding or defeating the wise and benihcent
plans of the administration but that plea is des-
troyed-the Wings have no longer a majority
and the public business suffers more than ever.
If such be the results of the beginning of their
power in the halls of Congress, what may be ex-
pected when 1t has advanced in strength and
maturity, when the plans and schemes for party
organisation that have occupied the attention OF
Congressman, as paramount to the duties OF l'
gislation. shall have been carried into operation,
and the power Of controlling the business OF Con
gress, to suit the wishes of a party, firmly secu'
red in the hands of the present dynasty. ell
these things be done in the green tree, what will
be done in the dry ?"
