Congress. AT length, after eleven bal
lettings, Speaker o! the House Of Repre-
scntalyes has been elected IN the person
of Mr.. Hunter, Of Virginia. We may
now expect Congress to proceed to busi-
ness, and may look for the long delayed
message Of the President.
Mr.. Hurer is represented by some OF
the presses, as Sub-Treasury Wing, by
ohersSs a Sab-Tressury NuIIifier. The
Globe states, that his political principles
are in direct conflict with the Northern
Wings, on every point, aud in concur
renee with The Administrator on all the
great political questions OF ;he day. Mr.
Hunter IN every instance voted tor an
Administration candidate. This OF itself
wouldseem to indicate his feelings towards
The Administration. He was not, howcv-
Ell, the choice of the party, and owes his
election 10 the circumstance Of being sup.

a number OF Democrats, toHagds the close

to immagine thatany intelligent Southern

that this consideration in some shape or

we shall only say,that General Harrison's
fiagltous proposition TO appropriate the
Surplus Revenue to The purchase of South
