CONGR ESS.

Since our last notice of the proceedings

siderable progress considering the disposi

the first fifteen or twenty days of the ses.
sion to throw all the difficulties in their
power in the way Of the organization "t
The Hnuse. These difficulties, however,
have been surmounted, and the orgahiza-
ton of the House is complete. The Off
GERS have all been elected except the Prin-
ter. The New Jersey question has been
settled, at least for the present, by the re-
lection of resolution offered by Mr.. Ev-
ANS, Of Maine, THAT the members of the
Goth Congress, here present, do advise and
request the Speaker to administer the oath
of qualification to those members from n.
Jersey, who have the regular certificates,
and have presented themselves to be
sworn" This resolution was lost-yeas
liz, nays ll6. Mr.. HUGH A. GARLAND
has been elected Clerk, RoDERIcK Dor
sEY Sergeant at Arms, MIR. FoLLoNsBEE
Door Keeper, and Col. HUNTER Assistant.
These elections took place on the 2lst and
23d ult. and the Message of the President
was sent in on the 24th-since which, we
suppose, the members have been taking
holiday, after their arduous labuurs.

HaS. John T.. CALHoUN.-We noticed
a rumour in our last, in relation to this
gentleman, who it was said, had given his
sanction to the nomination Of Gen. HAR-
R1snN for the Presidency, and would hearth
ly give him the weight Of his great infu-
encr. We take pleasure in stating that
this rumor has been contradicted in the
most positive manner. The Richmond
ENQUIRER denies, in the most unqualified
terms, that Mr.. CALHOUN and his friends
in Congress, are abAut to esrouse the
cause pf Gen. HARRISON. The Enquirer
remarks, that i. is authorised to say that
Mr.. Calhoun "re(uscs all operation

SO, happy are we. If so, the year has
bsen well spent, we have "redecmed the

that has just left Us how rapidly time is
hurrying us to eternity; aud we are re-
minded by our friends who arc constantly
falling into their graves around us, that
our hold upon life is weak and uncertain.
Our frail hold upon every thing earthly,
tells, that our grasp upon none is tor eter-
nifty. The last sigh that we heard upon
the murmuring winds Of the year that has
Just LETT us, whistles in our ears eternity.

change Of commodities, including the pre-
cious metals, and leaving in its transactions
but little foreign debt. Such is not now
the case.
"Aidcd by the facilities afforded by the
banks mere credit has become too COM
monty the basis of trade. Many of the
banks themselves, not content with largely
stimulating this system among others, have
usurped the business, while they impair
the stability of the mercantile community;
they have become large borrowers instead
of lenders; they establish their agencies
abroad; they deal largely in stock and mer-
chandize: they encourage theissue of state
securities until the foreign market is glut-
ted with them; and unsatisfed with the
legitimate use of their own capital, and
the exercise of their lawful privileges, they
raise by large loans, additional means for
every variety of speculation.
The remarks.o of the President, on the
present banking system, are, of course, in
accordance with the doctrines of the party
at the head Of which he stands. Speaking
Of the dependence of one set Of banking
inslitions on another, he says
"But this chain of dependence does not
stop here. 1t does not terminate at Phlla-
