wEEKLY MADIsoNIAN,


The approaching session Of Congress WILL doubt
less, be of great interest 1t win close up some
at least of the affairs of Mr. Van Burens administra-
ton, and usher in the suspicious dawn OF new
and better order Of things. The scenes in Congress
will probably be exciting On one side we shall see
the struggles Of expiring faction, and on the Other
triumphant party, armed with the confidence Of the
people, imposing judicous restraints upon the convu
sive throes of their opponents and shielding their
country far possible from the dangers omalignan
and reckless Violence and endeavoring to avert the
embanassments which defeated men, stung with dis
appointment will seek to throw in the way Of the
administration. On the third Of March next, ~
o'clock, p. NJ. Mr.Van Buren's dull star will vanish,
and Immediately in its place shall we behold appearing
the rising sun Of HARRISON.
On the 4th Of March, General Harrison, As Prcsi-
dent the United States viii attend in the Chamber
Of the House Of Representatives to take his oath OF
Office, according 10 the direction of the Constitution.
On his entrance, as tire entrance of Washington,
and Jefferson and Madison the audience will not be
able to stiAe their disposition to applaud Having ta
ken his seat on the elevated chair Of the Speaker Of
the House of Representatives the Vice President Mr..
Van Buren, (if presently and the Secretary of the
Senate on his right, the Speaker and Clerk Of the
House Of Representatives his lcf, and the Chief
Justice of the United States and Associate Judges at
the Clerks table, he will proceed to deliver his inaugu
raj speech after which he will receive the oath Of of
fee fiom Mr.. Taaey the Chief Justice. lie will
then retire, and such huzzas will 60 up from the null
titude aroundthe Capitol as have never been hesrd.
Such will be among the interesting incidents which
will occupy the columns Of the weekly Madisonian.
The paper will contain leading speeches. spirited
sketches Of the debates and summary Of the results
Of the proceedings in Congress, together with the
general and political news Of the day. 1t will con-
tain the official returns Of the vote in the Electoral
Colleges for President which will be opened in the
presence Of Congress, and the Inaugural Address
Of the President This will include the time
pretended between the opening Of Congress in De-
cember, and its adjournment on the 4th of March.
