WHAT WILL CONGRESS Do?-This nues.
ton is pretty generally. asked but il is
hard TO be answered. There seems. indeed
10 be no doubt that il will adopt measures
10 relieve The gorcnlmeE. from lis emharAss-
ment: but beyond that we do not know
what il Gao do, as al present constituted,
to reliere The people UNLESS, indeed, it be
true, as stated in Schenectady New
York; paper, that Van Buren, member
oC Congress from that State has asserted
that meeting of the New York members
Of that party, will be held, previously 10
the opening of Congress, for the purpose
OF advising Mr.. Van Buren, to recommend
the speedy passage of an act for new
National Bank and that if he does not and
persists in carrying out the gold humbug,
be will find them in the ranks Of the opno-
sition-a statement the truth of which we
are strongly disposed to question. and
which, even If II were true, we should
much doubt, whether. under the circum-
STAGES, it should otinspre more of dread
thaa ofbope. A National Bank, organized
upon proper principles, would unqnestiona
bly, be a desideratua but National
Bank, such as the party now in power
would make it, would in all probability be
mere treasury machine, and an engine of
boundless corruption --an instrumentin tho
hands Of " the government" TO carry out
the views Of its Executive head. In pref
erance TO such Bank as this. we, for one
say, let the present state of things contin
ne, bad as 1t is, even to the crack ofdoom.
However, we shall not anticipate their
plans Of relief. Let them hiring them for
ward. and if they be such as the Wings
can, consistently with their principles, sup
port, we do not doubt that they vii. receive
from that party hearty and sincere co ope
ration.
We would here remark. that we hope
the Wings both IN Congress and the State
Legislature will suggest no scheme what
ever, but that they will leave the whole
game in the hands Of " the government "
party. They have stalled The Wagon /; let
them get it out by their own wisdom and
strength. Or if Hercules must eventually
assist them. let it only be after comics sion
Of their errors and their impotence.
