The American Congress, after all, does not get
along very rapidly or tremendously, and yet do
| not see any evidences Of design, on the part of
any one, to commit highway robbery, rape, or muir
der. Every thing is quiet, as sucking dove; and,
if do not err, some of the oafers in the city,
who often make great parade about blood and
thunder, and all that, sucking doves il fact.
Before Congress assembled, we had many bug "a
boo, tales retarded each day, about the diretul
sequences that were TO grow out Of the New Jersey
contested election, and alarmed about the matter
were many Of the Saints and Patriots who tscry
aloud and spare not" about the I" integrity Of the
Union that, if they had been listened to- and beliey
ed, we should indeed have been enveloped in an
ocean Of tears.
1t is said that the devil is never so large or so
humbly as he is when at a distance. A more true
and palpable saying escaped the lips Of NOR
tai man. Before Congress had ass m 5led we heard
deal about blood and murder The wings had set
forth in the papers that they intended TO fog the
0cofocos, Unto strips Of bunting" If they attempted
to send locofoco delegation from New Jersey to
Congress-; and the locviocos said that they would
slick" the wings like sacks if they have the hardi
hood to make their appearance south of Baltimore
here in hr uiuhho mod Of
the Three Horse Shoes
In fact, all the newspaper asses Of the country,
who tug and toll for party and party spirit, predict
ed dreadful time for the natives as soon as Con.
gress assembled. Well, Congress has metz both
lsco focos and wings from New Jersey at the
capital, and as yet, no
Deed Of dreadful note"
has been enacted, and all the beautiful beys" who
emgrate this way from the different sections Of the
Union, topocket eight dollars the day, for humbug-
ging the people alive and well; md, il rumor
does not lie, some Of them sober. But, let that
pass.
twelve O clock, Mr.. Hugh A. Garland, clerk OF the
present " national nenagerie'' of bulls and bears,
called that illustrions body to order, by rapping
the late Mr.. Folks desk, with any ivory hammer.
As soon the menagerie had come to order, and
each member had blown his 8 nasal crgan,'-it
would not be delicate TO say nOse-with his fingers,
and wiped ''the said fngers' on the desk before
him-Mr. Hugh A. Garland, the clerk, said that he
wished to say a few words, and II the menagerie
wcnld listen to him, he would proceed
No objection be made, Mr. Garland proceeded to
say, that he felt the delicacy OF his singular and de
licaie position, and had prepared document
pressive Of his views the subject, which he
would read, if tina *menagerle would consent.
Here there were loud cries OF no, no-go on, go
on-hear him. hear him.
At this instant, a half dozen members leaped to
the floor; but the right Of speech given to Mr..
Charles G.. Atherton, OF New Hampshire. This
excellent young gentleman was understood to
hat IN n ~ finpf he cle rk In
read the document he had referred to.
Mr.. Stanley, of North Carolina, was opposed to
the clerks reading anything. II he had got any
thing read, he hoped it would be read by the gem
tleman from New Hampshire, or some other loco
foco.
Mr.. Atherton looked those unutterable things at
Mr. Stanley, which he did not think proper to ex.
press, and declined going into personal debate, in
which nothing Of nd vantage was to be gained.
Mr.. White, Of Kentucky, made piping no, speech
against the meeting Of the clerks document, and
was very severe on MIR. Garland
Mr.. Wise, Henry Hutspur Of Alcomac, took
the floor aid made very elegant and beautiful
speech in favor of reading Mr.. Garland document;
and in the midst Of has Grafton did ample justice to
the better qualities Of that pshed and gentle
manly officer.
The debate now assumed very wide range, and
sis usual at Washington, il soon became Immensely
stupid and rapid. Taken whole, il may be re-
gsrded, after Of Parson Steers homilies, TO be
the greatest bore that was ever imposed on two
hundred and forty ons members, and two or three
< Ii did not possess single merit to redeem il from
the general charge Of" profound simplicity" 1t was
kept up till about four o'clock, when DIR Duncan Of
Ohio, got the floor, and the natural menagere adj
journcd, without having advanced one inch from the
position II was in yesterday. ).
The senate met, did nothing, and adjourned.
In the Globe Of today there is an article signed,
&C one who knows" in which Parson Slicer 10 made
20 make an attack on the New York Herald, and Mr..
Tobias Trott 1t smy duty TO reply to this article
and to Parson Scer, and shall do so to his " de Il
clarative glory" As a proper day should be set
apart for so important duty, shall devote hour
Of the next Sabbath to that most Apostolic man Of
God; that Saint in a leather apron and leather
breaches, the Reverend Parson Slieer that devout
minister Of soies and guardian Of red petticoats-
Justice shall be done to him; and he shall not COM
plain that he has not been mmortallsed by Of the
elect, and your correspondent.
