THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Sandry of the. papers in the country publishing statements of the relative strength of parties in the next and the past Congress all of which doubtless nearly correct-or they agree in most particulars. There are few members, however, which both par ties claiH-among whom are MT. Legare of South Carolina, MT. Lyon of Alabama, MT. Pope of Ken tucky, and two or three others It should be remem- bered that MT. Legare is particular friend of MT. Calhoun, consequently it hardly be credited that he should be an administration man; and MT. Pope has once beena Jacksonian, and publicly aburedit- and it is not to be expected that he is now-for Jacksonism is said to be a disease which, like the small pox, is rarely taken second time. We think the following statement will be found pretty nearly correct, if not entirely Rhode Island and Michi gan yet to hear from. asr

The Hartford newspaper publidhsrs we perceive by their last papers, have adopted new rule in regard to publishing wiat has been called eleemOsynary ad- yertisements, which we think should have been done long ago-that is. to charge for Military notices, Fire Department Medical Societies, Ecclesiastical Socie-
 ties, Literary Institutions, and all others of similar character, the regular prices for advertisements. This is right There is no reason why printers any less than other mechanics should not have pay for labor performed for such services. Medical Society for instance, applies to a carpenter for piece of work and expects to pay for much as if for indivd- ual; but it applies to printer and says this is for the public good, you must not charge any thng.''- And so the printer must work for "glOry' and find himself. Why moi, when the members come to turn pike gate, say, ".we are on business for the public good, and must pass free'-or to tavern keeper, "Col Ode our services todny are to benefit the con- munityhe printer advertises for nothing, and it is expected that you will furnish us room and good dinner gratis2'' This would be in character for con- sistency of conduct

 Gen. Jackson" lacks the moral courage and honesty to think and act for himself even now, when his ter is consigned to private life. Veracify of the Van Buren Press.-How far any prospective opinion of the administration editors be relied on, in States thoroughly opposition, may be gathered from the following paragraph of the Nash vile Union before the recent elections in Tennessee "The friends of General Armstrong will no doubt be gratfied to earn that the accounts received from the various parts of the State, east, west north and south, respecting his increasing popularity with the people, atterng in the highest degree, and leave sno doubt, not only of certain. but TRIUMPHANT | SUCCESS. Such is the enthusiasm manifested for strongest White counties in the State, the present in- cumbent, Governor Cannon, will scarcely be known as candidate"

4th of that month, the President Of the
United States responded to the New
York delegation of merchants, who soli-
cited of him to convene Congress, in the
following terms: You must be aware
of the obstacles to an immediate convo-
cation of Congress, arising from the inn
perfect state Of the representation in one
branch of that body. Independent Of
that consideration, do not see at pres
ent sufficient reasons to justify me in re-
quiring an earlier meeting than that ap-
pointed by the Constitution" That is,
the president answered in substance
and at the time we thought he was right
on that point-I am Of opinion it is iner-'
pediemt lat present) to call Congress to-
gether. Such was his answer on the
18th day of May. On the 18th day of the
same month, he issued his Proclamation,
now lying before us, solemnly declaring
that agreat and weighty matters, claim
ing the consideration Of the Congress Of
the United States, form an extraordina-
nv occasion for convening 'them,' &c. In
the short space of eleven days, we here
perceive, what was inexpedient became,
in the opinion of the Executive, not only
erpedient but indispensable. A narrow
er range of discretion will not, it is pre-
sumed, be prescribed to the members Of
the Legislature hereafter, in relation to
their duties, than has been already con-
ceded, without a breath of disapproba-
ton, to the Executive Of the United
States.-Nd. Int.

THE CONSERVATIVES. Es.-There are ma
ny things in the measures of this party
which are highly commendable. Acting
as they have done for many years upon
the principles of the past and present ad-
ministrations, they have now come out
and declared that they can go no further.
They consider the experience OF the past
as too valuable to be thrown aslde,and re-
fuse to give their wholesale Endorsement
to those doctrines, which they believe de-
structive to our institutions. There is
however one strange anomolvin theirpro.
fession. While the favorite measures o.
the President are believed to be revolu-
tionary and destructive, and as such
calling for their opposition by every
honorable means, they still profess the
warmest attachment for his person
Fighting for principles they seem to
fight weakly from their attachment to
The person ,n oftheir enemy, and laboring
to correct abuses they are continually
losing ground out Of respect to the atl.
thor of the injury. This is not right

CONTINENTAL CURRENCy.-Whenw we was
younker, and we recolect it well, an ancient
veteran of the Revolution made us present
of a Continental BILL and for the want, perhaps
of the "better currency" wherewithal to sup
ply its place in our young pocket book, we car
ried the same until its features were indellby
impressed upon our memory. 1t was rather
a coarse piece of paper, therein tipifying the
rustic infancy ofour home manufactures, small
as we were then, an economical nation, and
bore the name of its fabrcator on the back.
But the face was curiosity. The viginette,
in coarse, but strong engraving was full
grown, amply bristled porker, under full mo-
ton, with head erect, and tail beautifully cur
led. From the loins backward, he was red;
from thence forward, black. What was to be
understood by this outre specimen of heraldry
surmounting the Governments promises to pay
we know not neither are we aware that the
suine coat ofarms, fathered upon distinguish.
ed individual in the nation, has any thing to dc
with the whole hog ofthe Continetal currency
1t strikes us, however, that the new issues o.
Government currency, have some strange af'
finity to those that we have been describing
and that if the whole matter was investiga ted
tie secret of the heraldic hog might be disin'
terre.l. and its use discovered to be equally
applicable to the new as to the old Continen-
tai issues.

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

The Florida war has already cost
the government THIRTY MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS. 1t is no nearer to an end, apar-
emily, now than it was two years ago,
and new appropriations are asked for to
prosecute it.
In one instance. the sum of SEVEN
THOUSAND dollars was paid by the gov
ernment for forty cords Of acoOd, or one
hundred and seventy fue dollars per
cord!
In another, sum equal to the whole
cost of the steamboat was paid for sim
gle trip of steamboat upon the Apa-
lachicola river.
An individual calling himself cap
tain of volunteers drew, in one instance,
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, as pay for
himself and his company. He never
had but five men, and the pay was at the
rate of THREE THOUSAND THREE HUMID
RED and THIRTY THREE DOLLARS apiece
for his force.
These facts are stated on the floor Of
Congress, and undisputed. Another
appropriation Of sl ,5OO,0O0is now asked
for. Truly, the economy of this admin
istration is Que of its ornaments. No
wonder they need treasury notes to the
amount of TEN MILLIONS. All the ex-
chequers on earth would not suffice, in
such hands, to keep the wheels govern
ment in motion. How long will the
people groan under government oppres-
sion, and tolerate such extravaganza in
their rulers? If a war with a handful
of savages costs at this rate, what would
war with any nation Of Europe cost!
Yet they talk of rigid economy i'll the.
expenditures ofgovernment, at the very
moment they are squandering millions
in fruitiess war, in such items as those
above named.-Cleueland Herald.
