Col. Chambers of the Missouri Repub-
lican in corresponding with his paper UNI

II is now conceded on all sides that
there must be called session of Con-
grsss; in fact, | had authority to-day.
from one who, presume, spoke advised
ly, to say that it was unavoidable, and
would be called. 1t is generally under
stood that if held at all, Congress will be
convened during the month of May. The
Wings have generally been anxious, If
possible, to save the country from the
expense and excitement of an extra SEES
sion, but it is now quite evident that it
cannot be avoided. The only cause is the
bankrupt condition of the Treasury. Mr.
Van Buren, will leave the Government
largely in debt. and without revenue
even sufficient for the ordinary ,expendi-
lures. Provision, therefore, must be made
or the credit of the Government suffer.
The present Congress, if they were actu-
ated by pure and correct motives. could
easily avoid the necessity for called ses-
sion by making such provisions as may
be necessary to carry on the Government
and meet the demands OH the Treasury
but the dominant party are determined not
to do this. They will rather throw OBJ
stacles in the way.
If remember rightly, the State of Hi
nois will not, unless provision is made al
the present session Of the Legislature for
a special election, have any representa-,
ton in the House if this extra session is
held. In any event the session may be
an important one, and if all the subjects
connected with the Treasury and finan-
ces of the Government are taken up it will
be the most i'm "orlant session during Gen
| Harrison's administration, as the whole
OF the measures proposed by the Wings
! for the relief of the country may become
the subject Of consideration. In this view
it is highly important that every State
should be represented. 1t may be true
that Illinois may not send representa-
ton favorable to the new administration
but this is no reason that she should no
be heard. The time for action is short
and if it is the wish of her people to be
heard, her Legislature should not delay
their action. The necessity which indu
ces the call Of an extra session will ne
permit the meeting to be deferred beyond
the time mentioned.
Gen. Harrison is expected here during
this week or early in the next. The cit
liens expect HIM by the 9th, the day the
votes for President and Vice President are
TO be counted, which believe is also the
Generals birth day, when it is intended
to give very splendid ball, in a frame
building erected in the area of Gadsby'.
