the speech until next week. 1t is an able speech,

The collective wisdom of the people, in Con-
Uress assembled, continues to be engaged in the
great work. of retrenchment and reform. Only
three months and one week of the session have
yet passed, at an expense of less than ten thous-
and dollars day, and already have retrench-
ments been made to the extent of two deputy
clerks, besides decaptating four little boys, at
twelve shillings per diem, acting as pages to the
House. The wages of the cart and donkey of

predict how far the work of form will advance
during the present month, but valuable sugges-

may be achieved by creating the office of pin fin
der to Congress, whose duty it shall be to sweep
the galleries, after the ladies' have retired, for the

WHAT is CONGRESS- DONG ? is question
that people have everywhere asked themselves,
for some weeks past, and to which nowhere as
yet has any satisfactory answer been made.
1t is now repeated with such manifestations
of disappointment and dissatisfaction, as with
very little appliance from the press might be con
verified into angry resentment.
Nor can this be wondered at. While the Ma
ton, as it were, pIostrate-while public and pr-
vate credit are shaken-whle industry is uncer-
tain of its reward-and all that is needed, all that
is asked, is that the National Cove nment should
do its duty, decide upon its line of policy, and
through uniform curreh cy, give to the country
the means of renvigorating its prosperity, and
through discriminating tariff, the opportunity
of competing upon equal terms with the ngenu-
ity and industry of other nations, under such
stringent crcumstances-we find the Senate
discussing future amendments to the Constitu-
ton, and the House wasting its time upon the
most miserable economies.
The General Government is living from hour
to hour upon Treasury Notes paid out to-day,
paid in for duties tomorrow, and paid out again
the next day; the Departments are at stand
for want of the ordinary means to carry on their
operations preparations for defence in the
too possible contingency of war-the season for
ndvantageously commencing work near at
hand-and yet nothing done or doing.

Economy in Government is question now dis
cussed both in Congress, the State Legislatures
md the Press. There have been very grave de-
bates in Congress- upon the expediency Of schar-
cling two or three clerks, and lessening the sal
nries of minor officers, and we believe that &C
tual bona file reduction has been effected amount
ing in the aggregate, to the important sum of
three four or five thousand dollars,-not more,
perhaps less. The time spent in arguing the
propriety of this measure, cost the nation some
ST. or seven thousand dollars. which is a very
provident mode of carrying the economical spirit
into Eject.
