The Washington correspondent OF the
n. Y. Courier and Enquirer holds tho
following language with reference to tho
action ef Congress:
The temper of the House, hive had
occasion 10 remark before, is not good
and there nre some few members in it,
by whose pcrtlnacious demands for the
yeas and nays whenever motion is
made to adjourn, the Sessions are pro-
tracted to an unnecessary and n most
unhealthy length. Here we arc, sitting
in m atmosphere Of fire, for six, seven,
aud eight hours n day, before even
chance has been given TO the new MEM
bers, on whom the change must ia II the
heaviest, to suit their habits to their new
condition and mode of life. The con-
sequence must he either that many Of
them will take sick, or that, in self pro-
lection, they viii absent themselves from
the House, and that the House will
thus find itself without n quorum during
The greater part Of the day, us it is accus-
toned to do during the last six weeks OF
the long session.
Strange as it may seem, il is ncverilie-
less true, that men whose physical cour-
age is equal to any trial, frequently dare
not adjourn, nor do any other net which
their feelings or conscirnces approve,
because the yeas and nays nre required
by small minority; aud propositions,
right in themselves, which would be car
red by acclanation but for the yeas and
nays, ave lremblngy voted down when
they are called. A single glance at the
business of the last nine days, will satisfy
any man as tn the amount OF good whIcn
has resulted from sessions al such dura-

selves this duty of eternally calling The
yeas and nays on questions oil daily ad-

THE CAUSE.

A Locofoco Paper at the South ,h1s asks:
viii some friend tell us what portion OF
the Presidents Message contains the reasons
assigned for calling an extra session OF Con-
gress
We do no, know (says the U. s. Gaxette)
that Mr.. Tyler was called upon to assign
reasons for General l!arrisons calling tho
Extra session of Congress. Blu, if such
session was convened for President, who
had time to look into the state Of the nation,
then a )oriiori was il necessary to n President,
suddenly coming TO the Presidency, without
expectation Of tho honor, and consequently,
without preparation for The position.
We should think, however, that the fye
hundred thousand dollars deficiency in the
Post Office Department, the twelve millions
deficiency in the Treasury Department, tho
incalculable frauds and dcicicncics in the
agencies under the War Department, and tho
want OF order in the Navy Department, might
be considered us causes for Congressional
action.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT Court
The United States Circuit Court, for
Rhode Island District, commenced its
June Term in this town on Tuesday
morning last. The Court was opened
with prayer by Rev. FRANCIS VINToN.
after which, Mr.. JUSTICE SroRY gave q
charge to the grand Jury, in his usual
concise and impressive manner.
The docket is not large at tho present
term, and there is nothing Of importance
before the Court. There are several
jury trials, bot none Of them are inter-
es,ing, except to the parties concerned.
We understand that there arc two boys
in Jail, 10 this town, who will probably
be tried at the present term of the
Court, for breaking into the Engineers
office, at Fort Adams, in this harbor.

RICH MOND:
THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL $.

Ii Is source Of deep modification and regret to
us, that the Richmond Wing can touch nothing,
~n'ch u does not turn TO party poison. We had
| supposed-we had hoped, that if there were any
| subject in the world on which we of the South
might move as one people, Il was this very con.
troNersy with New York. Differ we may abou, the
remedy-DIffer We cannot about the right. But

SEQ nj all upon this occason1 Why should any at.
tempt he made to draw the line between the parties
IN Virginia on this subjeeil-Enquirer.
The physic begins to work. The Editor of the
Enquirer begins to find that he has, in his own ina
sination, ovcrrated the stupidity Of the people Of
Virginia, and that they such very dolts as to
believe in his anti abolition orthodoxy, or the CHI
valry of General Tsnioss. Ten days ago he pu,
forth "Bayy's bill" as test question at the polls
an issue for the Spring Elections, and invoked the
spurious Democracy to rally to it. Now Few lights
have dawned upon him-and he depreeates nothing
so much as connecting the New York controversy.
IN any respect, with party. "The Bayly bill" is
not the thing 1t was cracked up to be. The sober
thought OF the people is beginning to bear upon il.
1t is found to be as crude and illmannered as the
inflated, unlocked cub that begot it-as unworthy
the proud old Commonwealth of Virginia, as brag-
CART airs are Of a man of true courage IL is want
IN IN chivalry-except of the modern order-inas
much as It is not to take effect for twelve months
during all which time, its bellicose champions can
indulge their propensity for blood thirsty vaporings.

gina, too, where it designed to be particularly
popular, rejecting men see, that il enforced so far
rom protecting their property, it will prove vexa-
hous, and destructive of their commerce.
II is no, wonderful that the Editor of the Enou |

Of wonder is, that he was ever entrapped into its

We have TO thank the Editor of the Enquirer for |

the hands of his readers the refuta,on of the calum

sides with New York in this controversy-A ca. |
lumny, which never had the slightest foundation to
rest upon-eXeept that we desired Virginia to take
the right steps to maintain her rights and honour,

The generosity of character of tho deceased, the
| conspicuous honesty of his principles and purposes
together with the skill and irmness with which he
maintained them in all situations, had won for him
the affection and confidence of his countrymen; but
at the moment when, by their voice. he was raised

have been anticipated from his great experience
his sound Judgment, the high estimation in which he
was held by the people, and his unquestioned de-
votion TO the Constitution and TO the Union il has
pleased an all-wise but mysterious Providence to
remove him suddenly from that and every other
earthly employment.
While the officers and soldiers Of the Army share
IN the general grief which these considerations so
naturally and irresistibly INSPIRE they will doubt

appropriate TO them, the full measure of nations
gratitude Tor the eminent services of the departed
patriot, and in rendering just and adequate honors
TO his memory, because he himself soldier, !

IN camp, and when in ripper years, called to the !
command of armies, illustrating the profession OF
arms by his personal qualities, and contributing |
largely, by his successes, to the stock OF his
