THE MEETING OF CONGRESS

On Monday next the flags will be seen to rise over the
domes of the capitol The sound of many and hurrying
feet will resound along the broad leading TO the
two wngs-he laugh from merry visiters, and the low
mutter of political inriguants will be head-he ivory
stamp of the President and Speaker will resound
through their respective domnons and the members of
the twenty fifth Congress will take their seats for evil or
FIR good 1t will be long session. Already the city is
filling up with the right honorabes. We can tell them at
glance-there is an individuality about member of
Congress-the idol Of forty thousand constituents that
makes him marked man. That individuality consists
very much in the large bundle of papers and documents
which he carries under his at the opening of the
sion, to let the groundngs know who passes between

into regular set of workes. Then the waste of

flashing silks whskers bristle forth amid the glare of

cane, next makes his perfumed appearance upon the

where the light Of the windows will show off his contour
to advantage. Then the voice of the Clerk rafting like
miniature battery OF thunder stares the congregated
hundreds, and makes the sken bosoms pant with mo-
mentary fear. Mr. Frankin's voice is torpedo The

THE HERALp.-We learn from authentic source

moral feeling and frmness of the community. BY re-

The revolution has commenced somewhat similar to
our own The tea party, at Boston, were disguised as
Indians-in public they destroyed private pro-
perry. The natives of Canada disguised are battling
under the banner Of natal right and of private pro-
perry must be sacrificed; and the skirmishes of half
dozen badly armed men, will swell into the grand battles
of well accoutred host Arrests made daily by the
officials Of the crown that matter of course but the
tables will be turned, and the government troops instead
prowng about for prisoners, will keep close quarters
that they may not be made prisoners of themselves

THE POOR OF NEW YORK!

THE POOR OF NEW YORK!
8G- Alas, my heart bleeds when | think OF
them. They are legion in number, and suf-
ferers beyond the power Of description. This
Sunday morning have seen two men-and
probably there were dozen-who were taken
up dead this morning, having frozen to death
during The night. There are sights in our city,
which one who mixes with the People sees
every day, enough to make the stoniest heart a
heart of flesh. Mothers begging for bread to
feed their Children and children to feed their
suffering parents. Our almshouses and poor
houses are full to the brim, and there are hun
dreds who should be there, who are all but
dying of cold and starvation beyond their pre-
cincts. You wiU understand the cause of this
distress ,0hen told that the number of emigrants
oho hare arrived from Great Britain alone the
past gear exceeds TWELVE THOUSAND.
The poor are mostly foreigners, although there
is great distress among many of our American
population.

We alluded in last, to the affairs in Canada--we
traced the progress of the ncpent revolution and spoke
perhaps too early for cool poicyour sympathes for the
natives Of the provincebu not too for candor and
truths sake.
The cloud is hanging heavily over the British arms
and we doubt whether they will meet with better fate
than in the united revolution of the American colonies
We believe in the power of native movements-we trust
in the spirit that actuates born on the sod in which
they to be bured beneath which, the bones Of the
fathers are entombed
