BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.

BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
The interest as to the important meas.
ures OF public policy Is transferred from
the Senate - the Huuse Of Representa-.
tives. Every question, savelhat Of post
ponement Of deposite with the States of
a surplus which does not exist in the Trea-
suiy, is now before the House. The ops
position have resolved TO make war on
all the measures that passed the Senate
Their object is sagilalion. They perceive
that il the recommendations of the Mes
sage, as embodied in bills, and sanction-
ed by the Senate, should become laws,
that quiet will be restored TO the country
an" that the pecuniary affairs Of banks
and individuals, separated from politics,
will at once fall into their natural chan
nels, and pursue that even tenor which
leads to prosperity, when uninterrupted
by party conflicts. Seeing this, the op,
position have resolved to fight down, by
long speaking. every proposition calcula-
ted to produce this favorable result. The
Treasury Note Bill, which received the
almost unanimous vote Of the Senate
there were only five dissen,ients, has
been for days, and is still, the subject Of
violent federal oppugnation in the House.
II is connected with every measure of re-
lief that has been proposed in either
branch Of Congress. I, is a measure de-
signed 10 enable Government to convert
its credn into the means of raising ten
millions Of money TO meet the demands of
the creditors Of the Treasury, while time
is given the merchants to pay their duty
bonds--the banks to pay their depostes---
and the customers Of both the banks and
merchants an opportunity Of raising the
means to meet their engagements to their
creditors. II is in this way that the Co.
vernment, as far as it is a creditor, en-
deavors to relieve the pressure on every
class OF society; and vet the effort is furi-
ously opposed by that very party most
clamorously crying out for relief from
Maine to Georgia, and throughout the
valley Of the Mississippi, from the Gulf
to the Lake of the Woods! Until these
relief patriots discovered that the bills
which passed the Senate were likely tn
give repose to the country-untll they
found that their predictions, that 10 good
would eome Of sny thing tina. was pro-

TIE ELECTION.

| We had not time to mako any remark
on the recent election in this county. la& !
week, and we will now say but a fe,s
words. The Star, in its anguish at a.
partial doieat of its ticket, falls upon the
poor wings in most unmercirul manner,
because they did not elect the whole tick
ct. This reminds us OF a wretch of a
teamster who had SO heavy load on his
wagon that lis horses could not draw Il
up the hl', and after whipping them until
they cxerted their utmost strength. and
could not start it, he went at them and
beat them most cruelty. just so with the
Wing toamster-he has loaded his ticket
with the corrupt and dishonest banking
system-with old Federalism and Anti
masonry, and now because the Whies
could not elect it, with all this incums
brance, he lashes them most terribly.
The editor Of the S.ar complains that
tho Wings did not turn out, aud that the
Democrats did-this he supposes, from
the fact thattlie Wing vote is moi as large
this year as it was last, and tho. d an,o- !,
cratic vote heavier. We can account foS
1t much easier than he does. The facti$
there has been clear Democratic gaibM
and a Wing loss in this county since la
year. Tn, wings have sung tho so1M
that the whig voters did not turn out, ev,

make the Democrats turn out better than
