WQshil2 gtOn, Jan. l3.

Washington, Jan. l3.
The session has been devoted in the
House to-day to the contested election.
The whole subject has become extreme
ly irksome to the members, and they
avoid hearing the discussion, SO far as
possible. 1t is utterly useless and I'M
profitable, and l trust it may eventually
come to an end.
In the Senate, Mr. Preston occupied the
whole of the session after the morning
hour had closed, in speech on the ques-
ton of the public domain. The day was
exceedingly stormy, but there was large
audience, and the accomplished orator
spoke with his usual animation and fuen-
cy. Mr. Sewer is to speak on the other
side tomorrow. A great deal Of solicit
tude is felt here on the subject Of gen
eral bankrupt law. It seems to be ad-
mted on, all hands tina, the time has come
for the exercise by Congress. of the pow
err vested in it by the Constitution, Of
adjusting the relations existing between
the creditors and debtors. These rela-
lions have been so seriously and extern
slvely disturbed by the financial and COM
mercial difficulties under which the coun-
try has suffered, tina, nothing but gen.
eral bankrupt law can set them right.
Strong hopes are felt by the friends of
the measure, that a law may be passed at
the present session, but it seems to me
extremely doubtful. The Judiciary Com.
mitlee in the House are ready TO report a
bill similar to that of last session, but
nothing is to be gained by anticipating
the action Of the Senate. Mr. Cri,lenden
has been waiting for several days, with a
bill ready to be passed upon in that body,
but this seemingly inlerminable debate
on the pre-emption bill, is thrusting eve
ry thing aside.
Judge Mclean of the Supreme Court
is DESTROYS to be Post Master General.
He wants to be President as soon as pos
sble, and he knows, hom his experience
in welding the official power of the Post
Office Department against Mr. Adams adj
minis,raiion, that it may be made very
potent engine. But he can never be Sc
riously thought Of for either place.

ed to duty by motives ola seemingly opposite ma
ture and we perhaps do not err in saying that
the peculiar nature ola Christians susceptibility
may depend much on his natural temperament
One may be more easily operated upon by fear,
and another by love. One is prevented from
backsdng, by the threatening, that if he does
so, he shall be excluded from the Kingdom of

Master say-wll ye also go away One connects
his sin with all the terrible retributons of etern-

only that sin offends and grieves his Saviour
Happy they who are led to holiness by either

Blessed indeed is the man who hath God for
his portion; he has no cause to fear what man
can do unto him. The Lord hath promised TO be
with him whthersoever he goeth, never to fail nor
forsake him not even in the dark valley Of the
shadow Of death, nut declares his rod aud staff
shall there comfort him. Believer, thy enemies
may assault, and frequently distress thee; and,
through the power Of temptation and ihdwcllne
sin, may cause thee to write bitter things against
myself, and be ready to give up thy hope and
confidence in God; but like David, encourage
myself in the Lord, and say O my soul, rejoice
IN thy God. Behold the captain of thy salvation
bath gone before to prepare the way. He hath
conquered death and hell, and at last will make
thee more than conqueror too 1t has pleased
