 SIGNs-Shortly after the appearance of the Presi- dents proclamation converting Congress in Septen- Der, the publishers of the Globe issued prospectus tor ther Congressional Globe, at the regular price of one dollar, ascribing than usual value to that work for the next session of Congress- in cOnsidera- ton of the anticipated great length ofit New light issued another prospectus for the Congressional GoIe at the price of tDo dollars for the first tUO sessions of the 25h Congress- which indicates that it is n- tended or expected at Washington tt at Congress will not remain in session continuously through the au tumn and wlnter and that there will be recess be- fore the commencement of the regular business of Congress Tn December. The prospectus also speaks ot the next fall and winter sessons, and then pro ceeds thus :-
 "The Fall Session will be looked to by the country to settle all that has been unsettled by the over throw ot the system of Deposites established by COngress-the overthrow of the currency establish ed by the Constituton-and the overthrow of the tenn of revenue, both means of adequate supply for present demands, the maintainance of manufac- turers, and the regulation of commerce. Every thing interest NIOVeTnInenL ana Lne n1- tion will be involved in the discussions of the next Congress and It was because the President would not have those allimporant subjects left to the Ex ecutive discretion 9 moment beyond the time when full Congress could be summoned that the Septem- Der session was convok ked. The machinery of Gov ernment, even when thrown out of geer, must con- tinue to work but when so dsordered, it's movement may be driven in wrong direction. The peoples representatives alone competent to set to rights No democratic Chiet Magistrate would continue, in the condition of things at present istng to substi tute Executive experiments for clearly defined law sprnging from the public will.
 This is quite significant. MT. Van Buren, it seems, has acquired very. salutary horror of Executive discretion" and Executive expedents' This is now the professed creed of the "Democratic Chief he may be sincere in these professions. We have had enough of Executive expedients," arbitrarily adop- ted in defiance of" clearly defined law"-of Exec uve discretion" rashly assuming the responsbili- ty' of acting counter to the decision of the Re presentatives of the People," Congress the Repre- senatves of the People, refused withdraw the pub lie deposites from the United States Bank; but Gen eral Jackson, in his Executive discretion, and contrary to clearly defined law presumed to do it.. Congress passed bill chartering a National Bank :; but General Jackson chose to try the Executive ex- pedent" of league of State Banks. The Senate re- fused to pass law to require specie exclusively in the penitude of his Executive discreton, chose to do that which the Representatives of the People, had refused, and which the clearly defined law for bade. We'll it is satisfaction, at last, to have President who condescends to recognise the Repre- sentatives of the People," and who repudiates Ex- ecutve discretion and Executive expedents"
