CONGRESS-.

The House, yesterday, continued TO be occu-
MED BY the arid and undressing business Of
the reception of petitions. Few Of them were
of character 10 be of general interest. Mr..
Roosevelt presented memorial respecting the
Bankrupt law, ard moved its reference TO the
Judiciary Committee, with instructions to re-
port bill of uniform character in relation to
moneyed corporations" The resolution was
condemned to lie over.
AT the opening of the session, Mr.. Bolts
called on Mr.. Gushing to know when a report
might be expected from the Currency Commit
tee Mr.. Gushing replied that the Committee
was busily employed on the subject intrusted to
them, and that he would be ready TO report
whenever he was instructed by the Committee
10 do so.
In the Senate, an interesting debate arose on
the proposal to strike out the proviso, which au-
thorizes the issue Of Treasury notes in lieu OF
an equal amount Of the loan not yet negotiated.
Mr.. Woodbury. insisted that the loan and the
notes would not be both required and entered
into minute examination Of facts TO show his
position to be correct. Messrs. Rives, King,
Preston, Calhoun, and Evans, participated in
the discussion. Mr.. Calhoun deprecated the re-
session of the provlso-and Mr.. Evans replied,
that, acting as the organ of the Committee, he
could not consent to withdraw or modify the
amendment. 1t was finally decided, that the
proviso should be struck out.

to an article, which appeared some days since in the
Richmond Whig in which Mr.. Wise was very Sue
cessfuly indicated from the Incorporate assault of
writer in the New World We do not intend TO
add word in defence Of Mr. Wise to what has been
ably said by his friend in the Wig We only
wish to assert the rights of another individual whom
this young gentleman that cultvates cmls, has far
more deeply injured by pilfcring his bold and iorcble
language, and mixing il without scrupe or acknow-
ledgment with his own ribald abuse. We shall put
two passages in juxtaposon, and let them show
how much claim this promising young critic has to
originality or common literary honesty

CoNGRESS-THE PRESIDENT-THE CoUN
TRY

In the history of parties, nothing can be found
which bears resemblance 10 the persecution OF
President Tyler by party leaders but, II the
signs in the political zoliac are not most decep-
tive, these leaders will soon be left alone IN their
glory Like fallen angels, their fury gathers
strength from despair and in the violence OF
their hate there is no epthet of abuse with
which he has not been assailed. Could their
PRAYERS be granted, we should see it come TO
pass, in the language Of the Psalmist, that
He, snatched by some untimely fate,
Shan't live out half his days
Another, by divine decree,
Shall on his office seize"
Win the People look. on quietly and witness
the sacrifice of distinguished and resoute Patr-
OF, who has resisted alike the denuncations of
enemies and the entreaties of friends, rather
than sanction what he conceived 10 be violation
of the Constitution which he had sworn to sup
port? How treacherous is the memory of amb-
tious men! What was itthat stlhed the camor o
partisan leaders, and secured, as by one univer-
sal shout of reclamation, the reelection OF Mr..
Monroe? 1t was because he put his foot upon
the monster party, and administered the Go
vernment as the President Of the People
What was il that procured for General Jackson,
when first elected, the support Of so many OF
the good and the wise of all parties Was it
not his advice to Mr.. Monroe 10 g destroy the
monster party and call the best men around
him2 However aspiring demagogues may be
influenced by factious aims and impulses, they
ought to remember that the Government is yet
in the hands of a wise and pirtuOus People,
And what is the spectacle which they behold al
this moment in the Capitol? The President
has said to Congress-thc People are suffering
we present you with plan for their relief
which is not forbidden by the Constitution-the
result of our most anxious deliberations. We
are not tenacious about its details-modly them
in spirit of patriotism and sound discretion
but do something for the Peopie-and, that il
may be elfectual, do that something quickly
Nearly eight weeks have passed. and except the
cure for a vicious currency TO be derived from
abuse of John Tyler, what has been done
But the day Of relrbution is beginning to dawn,
and before the meeting of new Congress, the
swell Of popular favor, which brought certain
leaders into power, will have receded forever
leaving them sheer hulks to mark the fate Of
men who lose sight of their country IN derotion

CONSISTENCY.

The proposal in the Exchequer bill to issue
Treasury notes has given occasion for many
violent trades against the issue Of paper cur
lency, no matter by what authority or upon what
basis il may be emitted. AT some Of these
ebulIitions Of invective we have, we confess,
felt some surprise, and we have already given
some instances Of the rreconcilabty between
the doctrines now promulgated by some Of the
prominent personages in the debate of the DILL
and opinions protested at other periods. Whe-
ther paper money, issued by State banks, regu-
lated by the power of the Federal Government,
through the agency ofthe Treasury Department,
will furnish currency more sale and stable than
paper emissions by the Government itse {, under
regulation of law, we are not at present going
to discuss. Our intention is merely, BY small
example, for the present, to show that the zeal
now SO strongly exhibited against Treasury
notes, has at another period, and that not very
distant, shown itself as earnest in favor of paper
circulation by State banks.
Ina speech of Mr.. Benton, delivered not eight
years ago, we find the following expressive Ian
guage:
"The resolution of 1916 admitted the notes of all
specie paying banks to receivability in payment of
Federal dues II resolution Of cardinal inn
portance for the regulation Of local paper currency.
The effect it had in rectifying and purifying dsor-
dered currency has been too much overlooked. Its
protested object to regulate the currency of the
State banks and to regulate it by the power of the
Federal Government, through the agency of the
Treasury Department"
The preceding passage we have quoted, not
with the view Of expressing any opinion on the
merits Of the resolution Of 1916, but to exhibit
that the same horror has not been uniformly felt
for paper emissions by the gentleman who is
now decided in his denunciations of paper
issues.

From the N. Y. Tribune
We are indebted to our Baltimore Cores
pondent for the Lexington Intelligencer of
the 10th inst containing an account of the
GREAT FESTIVAL given in that city on the 9th
in honor of HENRY CLAY. The occasion
must have been one Of unequaled interest.
More than TWENTY THOUSAND of the gallant
sons of Kentucky assembled to do honor to
the illustrious statesman who returns to them
after long public service, unsurpassed by
any in the annals of any nation, for the
strong energy, the pure patriotism, the un-
bending integrity and the unequalled INTEL
slectual power with which its duties have
been discharged.
After dinner many toasts were drank.
among which was the following, in honor of
Mr.. Clay.
HENRY CLAY-Farmer of Ashland, Patriot
and PhilGnthropist-the AMERICAN Salesman,
and unripGlled Orator Of the Age-illustrious
abroad. beloved at home: In long career
of eminent public service, often, like Aristi-
des, he breasted the raging storm of passion
rifice, saved the Republic; and now like
Cincinnatus and Washington, having volunta-
rily retired to the tranquil walks of private
lite, the grateful hearts of his countrymen
will do him ample justice but come what
may, Kentucky Oiu stand By hinl, and still con-
tinue to cherish and defend, as her own, the
fame of a son who has emblaZoned her Es-
cutcheon with immortal renown.
@The last toast" says the Intelligencer,
was prefaced by the President of the day
with some happy and eloquent remarks
Mr.. CLAY rose in response, and for more
than two ours.enchained that vast audience
by the exercise of those mighty powers Of
oratory with which he is SO eminently gifted.
| With an ease peculiar to himself he swayed
the feelings of his auditory at will-at one
time convulsed with laughter, again filled
with indignation. and anon the glistening
tear betrayed the deep emotions of the
heart. !. But il needs not that we should at
tempt description of the eloquence of such
man,-to say that HENRY CLAY spoke
would be sufficient"
