INTELLIGENCE FROM WASHINGTON.

| ORGANIZATION AT DEFEAT coALI-
TIoN OF Loco FoCoIsM AND IMPRACTICAL
BLEs-DEMocRACY AND ORDER TRIUMPHANT.
Ii is with the deepest feelings of satisfaction that
| we are enabled, at length, TO announce the organ-
| izaton of the House of Representatives at Wash
'ngton, and tho signal and complete defeat Of the
attempts OF the Loco Focos, and those or The wings
who have been weak enough to lend themselves TO
be their patient cat's-paws-to delay and prevent
action and attention to business. Order has once
more been restored. Business will now, trust,
receive full and sole attention. Every attempt to
waste and consume the time will be frowned down.
And the watchword, until the adjournment OF
Congress, will be ACTION, ACTION, AC-
TION.
1t is to be hoped that the lesson ofthe past week
will not have b cen lost upon the Wing members
of Congress, nor upon the country. Both cannot
have failed to perceive, with certainty that may
not be questioned, the infamorsly unprincped
and factious course pursued by the Tory members
OF Congress- Their sole aim Mroug hout has been
to defeat the object for aohch Congrcss called 10
gethe1 and to pre0ent The transaction Of any bust
ness. And, while they themselves the real
and efficient of all those scenes of anarchy
| and confusion which have disgraced the country,
they would have it appear that the Admin strat,on
| and the Wing party responsible for all that
ihey themselves have been doing! But we have
no fears that intelligent people can be so far
deceived by their Infamous course, to fail to
perceive to what an extent the Loco Focos have
been the real cul prits and have been the prime
movers in all these disgraceful proceedings. The
people will not fail to notice, tina: both the motions
which have been the direct means of calling into
ing all these scenes Of riot, confusion and dis
organization, aoere made by Loco Focos! Nor will
they lose sight of the important fact that ecery Loco
Foco Doted AGAIN sT the motion Of Mr. Stuart!-Of
the one hundred and nineteen good men and true
who sustained this noble Virgnan in his patriotic
and praiseworthy attempt to restore order and at
ention to business, EVERY ONE ARE WHIGs!
In the account which give below at length
of the proceedings in Congress on Wednesday, it
will be seen that to the Wing members, and to
them alone, we indebted for a restoration from
chaos once more to order On what other grounds
than with the sole view to continue, for indef.
mite period, the scene OF riot and disorder of the
two preceding days the Tory members opposed the
motion Of Mr. Stuart, it will be found we opine
somewhat difficult to determine. 1t is perfectly
idle to pretend they did to prevent the reception

ton, and on just and proper grounds 1t voted

at least for the time, deemed it satisfactory There
can be no other explanation of their factious in
consistent and unprincipled conduct, than their
