s4TTIIE EXTRA SESSION will, we think, close
on Saturday night neXt-or rather on the Monday
morning following. Our disinterostod politicians, OF
both parties, take very good care not TO do themselves
the ftvJr of losing a days pay, when that day IS a
holiday. Perhaps VIC have no right to blame them,
for as they cannot very properly take Their departure
upon the Sabbath, they tn ni it hight TO clam indeln-
nifty. We think they might manage to adjourn on a
Thursday or Friday, oc' a iJnally, though 1t might b,
against a prece lent. Eut IS We h I'VE no reason 10
suppose that they propose any 'exrerimsnt OF TINS
description we shall give them unit Monday fortnight
to finish the Session, if they do not rise on Monday
wcck.
In that week or fortnight one moro veto is to he re-
ceived. II il understood that the Wing Senatorsw VIII
PIT the Bank Bill througl that body, in the same
shape as it came from the House and It ls understood
also, that in such case the President viii mos. assrr-
eddy veto 1t. The proprlety or policy of this we
deem gu %stonahlc, at leas, so far as the party IS con
cerned or cared for. 1t would certainly serve the pur-
pose of the country as well to postpone a bill which
I is known the President will veto, asto pass it, and
insist upon his performing that finishing act
Upon the veto, or after the adjournment ar Congress
mnuy of the best informed politicians confidently
predict a dissolution of the Cabinet, and we must say
IT IS m event which we do not deem at all unlikely
We do not expect any such sudden departure in a
hufT as was seen during the early part of the Presi-
| dcncy of General Jackson. We do not imagine that
the parties will separate in any i'll blood, or that there
will he nr,-enactmcnt OF the depart ire CT four as an
unit as Genera! Jackson phrascd II. All may not
leave, or fall do II may not he at once. For aug hi
we know, also, the whole may remain. and although
appearances are ng nst an event 50 desirable. it is not
all unlikely to o cur.
TIE delay in the confirmation of the nomination OF
Mr.. EVERETT has gwen rise to a great deal Of com
mont in the news apcra. That the nomination has
been made, Is well UNDERSTOOD, and that some ohsta-
Gle has p'eventedits confirmation is evident enough
W. think, however, tina. III. pIcss-and the Northern
press II parlIrular,-has been upon n wrong scent
The National Int.l)iGencer gives some hlats, from
which we iufcr III true state of the case to be that the
opposition haze been PLAYING a very skill!ul game
The Whg majority in the Senate j. small, bat upon
the subject of nominate IA, or on any other, where
thov concur, a majority # two is az good as ten
When, howe"lr, sk!lful party tactics are brought into
play, then the Wings have no spare men in the Sen
ate.
l. In the case of Ny. Everett, the opposition, who
never break partv lines, are sac TO be against him
to a man. This is not sufficient 10 defeat his noni
nation bat To detach n portion Of the Southern Wings
if it were only two or three, would answer the pur-
pose. To this end the oppos tIon have been working
and there il every reason TO believe with partial, bnl
We hope not with the chlnce Of Ultimate success
There is no hope fr tho PIP '.ition hat they crn send
a man FROM their side OF lie housc and for the hon
or Of New England sc trust, that If two or tire,
Southern WHY'S are detlciei from Mr.. Everett, as
many Northern opposition members as arc %suffi"icn
to cou1tervail thar drfacion, will support the rights o
the Northern portion of the con.eicracy by voting
for Mr.. Everett.

COMPROMISE for the SAX e of union, and more shoult

think, be one of the most useful to the country tina
