The Meeting nt the Exchange.
We attended the meeting at the Exchange =ves

The sentiments OF It's Resolutions too, were sucI
in the main as heartily concur in. But tht
speeches of Messrs. Hugh Maxwell and Hiram
ketchurn embodied many IDEAS and views which
cannot assent 10, ever bysilcnce. We=though
.hosc gentlemen unreasonably censorious on Con.
gress, first for not having perfected the great nca
pending before the two Houses BY the mid
die Of March, when very little of general mpol.
lance is ever achieved u: the long session before
the lst of April. Besides, it must be considered
that Loan Bill well as Supply bill ha,
already been passed at this session, while much
time has been inevitably consumed in resisting The
desperate assaults Of our antagonists on the Gene
raj Bankrupt Law, and incidentally on the Other
great measures Of the Extra Session 1t strike
US that Wing dcclainers might make allowance
for these facts.
Next, Congress was assaulted for wasting time
in correcting the fragrant and proiliguc abuse,
which have crcpt into the Contingent, Expenses Of
Tie House. For this conduct we think thc Hous,
deserving Of praise rather than ccnsure, since b.

True, some time has been devoted to the subject

Again, Congrcss-and especially the Wing por-

Exchequcr or Fiscal bill before this time. There
is fragrant injustice in this. The Administration

Again: the Wings were blamed at the En-
