general interests of the country Questions not
few in number, and of vital importance, yet re-
main untouched. Ifa period proportionate to
their importance be devoted to these topics,
Congress will not be able to adjourn for year,
even were the discussion Of them to be COM
menced at once
But, from present appearances, there seems
no probability that any of the great questions
will be soon taken up. 1t has been resolved to
strike out the contingent items from the appro-
pration bills for the protested purpose of avoid
inf debateable topics, so that the bill might be
passed without further difficulty, AS we CON-
jectured, the object has not been attained. An
unexpected debate has sprung up on an item au-
thorized by law. This, we foresee, is not the
only point where clog may be found to retard
the progress of the real business of legislation.
Where partisanship is the only impulsiye prin-
ciple, we may expect that hindrances to action
matters of general interest will not be difficult
of discovery. If to embarrass be the object, the
way to effect it will be easily found.
We make these remarks that the attention
Of the People may be drawn to those to whom
the fault is attributable Of neglecting the coun-
try for the ful6lment of their selfish purposes.

THE SLOW MARCH OF LEGISLATION

THE SLOW MARCH OF LEGISLATION.
We have ''defned our position" as to the
object and purport of the remarks we have made
or may make on the manner in which the public
business is neglected by Congress. Hoping that
hereafter all observations on this subject will be
understood as not penned with the intent either
oftaunting Congress or OF endeavoring to crimi-
nate any set of men, we shall pursue the course,
whenever we think proper, of drawing the at
tention of the People to the acts of their Repre-
sentatives. We shall make our comments on
the proceedings of both Houses whenever we
deem proper, in conformity with our ideas of
the duty which we owe to the People of the
country.
One objection made to representative GO
vernment is, that it frequently Injuries instead
OF benefting the country, by propensity to re-
dundancy of legislation. 1t endeavors, 100 Of
ten, to regulate by law those interests which
prosper the most by being left to sef-regulation.
This, no doubt, is frequently true But without
recurring to the past, we may, from the prog
nostes furnished by the present, be justified in
the prediction, that the country will not be ma
terially injured by the exuberant legislation at
the present session of Congress. Or ifthe prog
nostics should not indicate the truth, the conse-
quence will be, that the legislation will be SO
hasty as not TO merit the name. 1t is not to be
| supposed that the members Of Congress will be
induced to remain in Washington much after
the middle of July. Fixing the goth of July as
the probable p ROD Of final adjournment, the
half Of the session has nearly expired, and near
. ly the whole of that time has been spent in de

How beautifully illustrative are the facts
here mentioned, of the necessity Of cherishing
a purely national feeling, Invested Of all sec

wicked, on the part Of interested individuals to
draw lines of distinction between the North
and the South, the East and the West, and en-
deavor to array them against each other. Our
political and social institutions form system as
beautiful and perfect as it is extensive, and to
the cooperation Of each Of its parts with the
others, we are to look for the attainment of the
noble results to which our forefathers looked in
arranging the machinery of our Government.
If there be any want of adaptation or Earring in
the movements Of this vast machine, no matter
in what quarter it may occur, they are alike de-
structive to the harmonious movement for which
it was intended. Wecall, then, upon the people
Of every section of the Union to disembarass
themselves of all unworthy and selfish motive,
and unite as band of brothers in sustaining
those who would administer our institutions in
a spirit Of thorough nationality and disinterest-
ed patriotism. Let every feeling save that Of
Americanism be regarded as of secondary inn
portance, and let the warnings of parties be for
gotten amid the general zeal to serve the coum-
try and the aDh0le country.

its drafts on the Treasury, to pay the
wagcs of Congressman, have been dishon-
ored. 1t has tried the markets for months,
and cannot borrow sufficient to meet its
expenses. lis per cent. liabilities are
at discount Of per cent. Ii Is unable
to borrow. In this dilemma il proposes
TO 90 precisely that which the dishunored
States have done, viZ:-to make a forced
loan of the people, by issuing notes bear
ing interest, but purportng to be on de-
mand. This scheme TO relieve the wants
OF Government, is cloaked under the SEM
bIance of a fiscal agent, which shall take
care of the Government funds and meet
the wants of the mercantile community.
For this purpose the new bill proposes
LIST, TO receive deposits and issue there
for certificates, payable on presentation
these would be extensively used as me-
dunn of exchange. ID, to allow Of an issue
of three dollars Of Treasury notes, paya-
bic on demand, for one dollar Of specie on
hand.
Under this rule, if $5,000,000 should
be deposited by individuals, who wished to
remit funds to distant places, for which
object deposits would alone be made, as a
premium for the certificates is charged,
those certificates would therefore be n cur
rency, and $40, 900, 900 would thus be is
sued on deposit of most unstable cha
racter. OF the $4,000 900 Of notes is
sued. $40, 100000 would Immediately be
paid out for Government, debts. 1t is said
that the value Of this paper as a currency
would make it great benefit to the peo-
pie. We may arrive at this value by taxi
ing into consideration that the notes Of the
Treasury, bearing interest, may be bought
at a rate yielding 10 per cent. The new
notes are to be issued without interest,
thus making a difference of 10 per cent
TO the holder, between his investment IN
Treasury notes and that in the currency
notes. The people will thus pay 10 per
cent per annum for the use OF the Gov
eminent credit as currency-cert0lnly
very cheap currency. The result OF
such a forced loan on the part OF the Gov
ernment, may be seen in the fate OF all
paper money that ever was issued by any
government, and in that Of all the States
above described.

New HAMPsHIRE.-The following is
beautiful extract from the Speech of Mr..
Burke in defence of the State he repre-
sents from the aspersions of Mr.. Arnold
of Tenn.
New Hampshire is, indeed, thrown
among the hills. She is the Switzerland
Of America. Her mountains point high
up among the clouds, where eagles take
their flight, and enjoy unrestrained the
freedom of the skies. She is land, sir,
Of ''moun,ain and of flood" Her cloud
capt hills, even in midsummer, glisten with
the frosts and SHOWS of winter. The ter
rife avalanche springs from their SUBMITS
and thunders down their sides. But, sir,
she is also land of crystal streams, of
CLASSY lakes, embosomed among her hills
and Of beautiful valleys and meadows s, dot
ted with neat and pretty villages, teemng
with fertility, the hum of industry, and all
the evidences Of wealth and prosperity
She has more of those noble triumphs Of
liberty, common Schools more village spires
pointing to heaven, and more of the monu-
ments which mark Il high and advanced
state Of civilization, than any other State
Of this Union, with perhaps one or two
exceptions. If there are any exceptions
| am not aware Of them. And, Mr. Speak
err, if she is indebted to any cause under
heaven for this advancement in prosperity,
wealth and civilization, it is to her lofty
mountains and her beautiful and fertile val
Ieys. Her people breathe the mountain
air, the air Of heaven end Of liberty and
her rugged surface, not barren and sterile,
calls forth their mental and physical pow
ers, and makes them what they area
hardy, vigorous, intelligent, and energetic
people, people sir, schooled in industry,
morals and virtue, lovers Of justice and
equality, and democratic because they are
the lovers Of justice. Such is the outline
Of the character Of New Hampshire and
Of her people.
