CoNGREss.-Again are our columns filed with the
dongs OF Congress, to the exclusion of other matter
1 ne past week has been one of peculiar and strong
excitement. The introduction Of new Bank Bill its
passage through the House, coupled with the express
sed belief of good many of the prominent wing men,
bers that passed. it would be vetoed by the Presi
dent, has produced extraordinarily everish state
OF feeling. What will be the result or whether Con-
gress will adjourn this week, or this month"; is all nm
certainty. We hope, however, that in our next pap
we shall have the pleasure Of saying that it has adj
journed
The Loan Bill, the Bankrup. Bill, the Navy Pen.
sion Bill, and the Land Bill having been passed, moth
ing OF Importance remains to be passed upon except
the Revenue Bill and the Bank Bi-and if the latter
be rejected or signed by Mr.. Tyler, the sooner Con-
gress adjourns the better
The following letter from Washington of the latest
date that we have seen, to the N. Y. Express shows
better state of feeling than had for some time pre-.
viously existed -
A great effort will probably be made to bring the
session to "a close during the coming week, either
with or without the establishment of Fiscal Agent
OF the character Of the bill now before Congress- or
very similar to that important measure, which by the
way may as well remark here is regarded on ali
hands as much more useful and practical, well as
less Objectionable measure than the bill returned to
Congress. This bill, it has been we'll understood
here from its introduction the constitutional
objections of the Presdent-irst, for the reason that
the institution has no power TO deal in local discounts,
and secondly, because the bill is deal solely IN for.
eIgn and domestic exchanges. The Indications of
pu0iIc sentiment have been SO strongly in favor of
this Bunk that cannot doubt it will operate favora-
bly, upon the mind OF the President.
Notwithstanding all that has been said and written
in regard to dissolution Of the Cabinet, and the de.
signed veto Of the new Bank bill, regard neither
the course OF events one or both may happen. 1t is
true that many believe the result will come and there
are some who have been bold enough to make the
prediction and pronounce the punishment on the floor
OF Congress. regard the denunciation as MOI only
out OF place but out OF time 1t has been the msfor
tune OF the President 10 be surrounded by bad and
dtftoxs men, who, under the guse of pretended friend
ship, have proved not only the worst enemies of the
executive hut of the country. There are men whom
l could name who would sell not merely themselves
but their party and their country. for place and pow
er: They have as MIR. Clay has said, sought to pour
poison into the heart of the President and to ALLEVIATE
men whom years Of fond personal and political asso
al and political friendship Such were the ussocia-
could have been better friends or more confding-
and the secret history Of the Harrisburg Convention,
lift should ever be written, would give an evidence
OF 1t that would the best synpathes between
not merely two men, but all their friends. The sep.
araon OF such men, both of whom had their hearts in
the right place, originate from villa, cause i; might,
must have been temporary. In the nature Of things
it could have existed no longer than the breath of
scandal, calumny, ambition or hatred, tainted the
breeze. That alienation fleeing, lift has existed at
all, am happy to assure you, exists no longer. Mr..
Clay has borne public and private testimony 10 the
integrity Of the President, and in that frank and tar
manner, characteristic OF every act OF his life, he has
held the President and the world, the motives which
prompted his own and the action OF his friends upon
the yeXed question Of currency, WHICH creates
seeming collision between the President and the
Wing party in Congress. That speech you have
declared it to be- declaration that the President had
been perfidous in refusing his sanction great and
perpexcd question public policy So far from il is
be said to be true There is no ground Of difference
between Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Tyler then, but an hon
est difference of opinion upon great question Of H.
nance and in spite Of all that has been said and done
by corrupt and heartless politicians to magnify this
difference into the great and impossible gulf the
treacherous motives believe. are now understood
/ by both the President and Mr. Clay and their friends
II runior speak true-pot the !eif-tale rumor that
comes to be the gossip and tale bearer between the
Presidents house and the Capitol and to with its
hundred eyes HUNDRED things not visihle-but the
speak true the President and Mr.. Clay have had
within the last twenty -four hours an accidental but a
most pleasant, social and friendly interview there
has been fang, the sting is Withdrawn, and only
therefore the men themselves and their friends
in Congress, but to the country, promise myself the
hest results from this restoration OF good good feeling
believe the President will veto the Bank bill be-
fore Congress.
The announcement, of speedy dissolution Of the
Cabinet regard aleo as premature, notwithstanding
all that has been said upon the subject, and the wish
and readiness OF perhaps some hall dozen men to
rush to the places which would be made vacant by
the resignation. In all that meets the peoples eye
the Cabinet and the President are upon the best
terms. Socially they were together this evening with
manv friends, including among them Mr.. Clay and
score Of others. The meeting was every way cor
dial and harmonious, anC such as showed full and
mutual confidence in one another.-N. T. Express.
1t is probably in the recollection OF most Of our 10

and went to parts most Of his townsmen unknown

upon the alert; and last week he was brought from
