CONGRESS-.

The annual session of Congress is draw
ing nigh, and ere this the members from
the most distant States have set out for the
Capitol Our members left St. Louis a
week since. The public mind is again
beginning TO be agitated on the subject OF
the Bank. What will the President pro-
pose! will it be such an institution as will
give the country the relief which is so
much needed will the wings of Congress
unite on what is proposed? and thousand
other such questions are on the tongues OF
the people. What the President will pro.
pose, and to what extent it will relieve the
wants of the country, and whether it will
be united on by the wings, we cannot say
But we most devoutly wish that he may
propose such a measure as the wings car
and will unite upon, and that will give tc
the country the blessings of agood, sound
uniform currency, and cheap exchanges"
