DU BUaUE, saturday, April II.

CoNGREss.-.-Our Washington dates are up
70 the oath March, but contain nothing Of i'm
por,ance to our readers. The great mass Of
business before Congress has delayed its ac-
,on on all subjects Of interest to the Territory.
Matters having political bearing mostly re-
tons seems to be cautiously evaded. Near
Eve months have been spent in session, and
but very little has been done; nor is there a
prospect Of change for the better. Long
speeches seem TO be the order Of the day, as
though members talents and devotion 10 the
cause Of his constituents was to be measured
according to the length Of his speeches.
The Independent Treasury Bill, which pass
ed the Senate after a long and heated discus
sion, was laid OH the table in the House, by
. large vote, and when twill again be taken
up, depends much upon the subjects Of little
interest which can be brought forward to take
the attention Of the House.
No action. whatever, has yet been had in
tho House on the Pre-Emption Bill. and not
withs,anding its great Importance to vast
number of the citizens Of the new States and
Territories, and the strong vote by which it
passed the Senate, it may yet meet the fate of
many important bills before it.--.be laid over
among the unfinished business of the House
q. the adjournment Of Congress.
No further proceedings have been had on
the Bill dividing this Territory and establish
ing the Territorial Government of Iowa, yet
persons who have been at Washington during
The session, from what they could learn from
members, are Of opinion that the Bill will pass.
....This is matter Of great importance to the
people on the west side Of the river. and we
hope that it may soon receive the attention Of
Congress. Although remaining component
part Of Wisconsin Territory does not necessa-
lily impose upon us any great evil. yet as the
two districts must necessarily be divided, and
our population is sufficiently strong to justify
the division, the sooner it is made, the better.
Great Inconvenience having been felt by the
people in being governed by code Of laws
framed by the Territory of Michigan, imp-r-
feet and unsuitcd to our population, we should
guard we'll against being again thrown into the
same difficulties in separating from Wisconsin.
Should the bill pass both Houses Of Con-
eress and become a law, no obstacle will then
lay in our way, and Iowa, the garden spot Of
the west, will march onward with all nninter-
rupted step, to her destined power and great
ness.
