FOX The NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
The approaching session Of Congress will, doubt
less, be one of great interest. 1t will close III
some, at least, Of the affairs Of Mr. Van Buren's
administration, and usher in the more suspicious
dawn OF Il new and better order of things. The
scenes in Congress will probably be exciting. On
one side we shall see the struggles of an expiring
faction and on the other triumphant party, armed
with the confidence Of the people, imposing Judi
ciGps restraints ugon the cOnvusive throe5 Of their
opponents, and shielding their country a. far a
possible from The dangers of malignant and reckless
violence, and endeayorng to avert tie embaross-
mcnts which defeated men, STING with disappoint-
ment, vii! seek to throw in the way of the new adj
ministratIon' On the third of March next, II
O'Clock, P. NJ, Mr.. Van Buren's dull star will van
ish, and Immediately in its place shrll we behold
appearing the rising sun Of HARRISON.
On the Ali Of March, General Harrison, as Presi-
dent Of the United States, will attend in the Cham
Der of the House Of Representatives to take his
oath OF Office according TO the direction Of the
Constitution. On his entrance, as on the entrance
Iot Washington, and Jefferson, and Madison, the
audience will not be able to ste their disposition to
applaud. Having taken his seat on the elevated
chair of the Speaker of the House of Representa-
lives, the Vice President, Mr.. Van Buren,, (if pre-
sen) end the Secretary Of TIE Senate on his right
the Speaker and Clerk Of the House of Representa-.
lives on his left, and the Chief Justice of the T.
States and Associate Judges at the Clerks table, he
will proceed to deliver his inaugural speech, after
which he will receive the oath of Office from Mr.
fancy, the Chief Justice.% He will then retire,
and such huzzas will go up from the multitude
around the Capitol as have never been heard.
Such vii! be among the interesting incidents
which will occupy the columns of the weekly Mad-
sonian. The paper will contain leading speeches,
spirited sketches Of the Debates and summary of
the results Of the proceedings Of Congress, togeth-
er with the general and political news of the day.
1t will contain the official returns of the vote ia the
Electoral Colleges for President, which will be
opened in the presence of Congress, and the lnau-
gural Address of the President. Tins will include
tic time comprehended between the opening of Con.
glcss in December, and its adjournment on the 4th
OF March. Subscription price for this period FIFTY
