CONGRESS.

In the House Of Representatives on Monday
Mr.. Briggs submitted a motion that when the
House adjourns on Thursday next, It VIII ad-
journ to Monday, to give an opportunity to ven
tilate the Hall. Cries Of this is race week i
The motion was agreed to, after some discus
sion, by vote of ia Ito IL.
Mr.. Everett moved to go into Committee OF
the Whole on the Apportionment Bill. Mr.. w. z.
Johnson said that, though he was entltled TO the
floor, he hoped the bill would not TO be taken up
until the unfinished business Of Saturday even
ing, which was the motion TO print the Mes
sage OF the President transmitting the report OF
Messrs. Kelly and Stewart, commissioners TO
investigate the affairs Of the New York Custom
House. Mr.. Everett, however, pressed the
motion, and Mr.. Hopkins asked for the ayes and
noes, that il might be seen who were opposed
to the printing of an Executive document; but
the yeas and nays were not ordered, ana Mr.
Everett's motion was agreed to.
The Apportionment bill was taken up, the
question being on the amendment proposing
that the Legislatures Of the several States shall
divide them into representative districts, winch
was discussed by Messrs. w. Cost Johnson,
Pope, Pendetol, Everett, Halsted, and others !;
and, without taking any question, the Commit
tee rose.
resolution was adopted providing to take
the bill out of committee on TUESDAY at Two
O'clock and the House then adjourned.
The Senate were occupied for more than two
hour, in discussing points of order, growing out
of Mr.. Aliens third or fourth attempt to induce
the Senate to pass his resolution calling upon the
President of the United States for certain lnfor-
nation in relation TO the controversy in Rhode
Island Thus the greatest portion OF the DAY
was consumed, and the Appropriation bill was,
consequently not taken up.

TRANSLATED FROM THE eERMAN.l

From the Democratic Free Press o. PoftspHe.
1t affords us much pleasure to notice the determin-
ed spirit evnced by the people to sustain the Pres
dents views with regard to the currency The Elk
chequer plan, prepared by the Secretary of the 1rea-
sury is ample in its provisions to carry out the imam
cia operations of the Government, and at the same
time furnishes the basis of sound circulating me-
dunn. which is that which the country requires. AS
TO an old fashioned u s. Bank, it is preposerois to
think about in these latter days of Bank degenera-
ton The friends of the measure, in its most palmy
DAYS had not dared to make it direct issue before
the people, while hundreds yea thousands, OF those
who heretofore honestly advocated the re-establlsh-
ment of U. s. Bank, have been fully convinced of
their past error and arc loudcst in their denun
Citations Why, then, in the name OF common sense,
this bitterness of feeling towards the President by a
portion of the opposition in Congress- because, in the
conscientious exercise of his duty he cannot sanction
measure which is uncallcd for by the great mass of
the people, We would impore our Representatives
in Congress to diyest themselves for once of all par
tisan feeling and in good earnest legsate for the be-
ncft of suffering people instead of the political ele-
but give us the Exchequer plan and discriminating
Tariff for the protection of home industry, and our
word for it we will again becomea happy and pros
porous people

| Has not his " Creole" letter given the mos, en-
tire satisfaction to the whole country7 Was
not recommendation Of a postponement OF
Distribution. unanimous Cabinet measure
If the ground assumed towards Mexico be pro-
per, then Mr.. Webster is right, for he stands by
the side Of the President in the occupancy OF
that position. IL the President be right in the
principles which he lays down for the guidance
of the Chief Magistrate in the Rhode Island
controversy, then is Mr. w ebster also right, for
these are entirely similar to his own opinions on
the subject
Then, in what respect does Mr.. Webster noio
offend, that he only, of all men, should be repu-
dated by Republicans? What foregnerspeaks
OF America without associating Mr. Webster's
name in the front rank with those who adorn
the country, and make its name glorious for ia
lent and craftsmanship? What American
abroad does not take pride in Mr.. Webster Z
And is it possible that any one will permit their
feelings of enmity, for past transgressons, SO
to blind him TO Mr. Webster's great intellect,
and the present sound attitude which he occu-
pies in the political history of the country, as
not only constantly to be harping on his past acts
and opinions, but to refuse his hand of protlered
friendship? A Bentonian may do this, but we
hope none other.
The present nice and important negotiations
going on between the British and American Go
vernments, are calculated, if well or i'll conduct
ed, to be either of great service or Of vast evil
to the country. The Locofoco Gin contradis-
tlnction to Democratic) presses are daily attack
ing the Secretary in the most bitter, malignant,
and unjustiiable manner, personally and polltl-
cally; and anticipating an ominous concu-
sion of our difficulties with Great Britain. or
course this is neither decent nor just, but we
will make an issue with these sensitive polit-
cians-perfect sensitive plants on the subject
of political capitai-and dare them to the test,
that Mr.. Webster will occupy no other ground
than patriot should assume in these negota-
tons, and that the country will testify to this,
if, after ii happens, they will cease to abuse him.
Now, this is fair bargain. Will it be agreed
tol We will gladly hear an affirmative reply
given.

COMPARATIVE TARIFFS.

We have, at length, financial document,
embracing a synoptcal view of ''our tariffs and
those Of foreign countries" that must be accept
able to the whole community-not partial,
but full compendium Of import duties. 1t has
been furnished by the Secretary the Treasury,
on a call from the Senate, preparedby Mr. Jona-
than Elliot who has done ample justice TO the
work, having endeavored to assimate LAS
of our enumerated articles TO those OF fourteen
foreign countries. The design is original and
though he claims its execution TO be merely an
approximation, yet he has attained precision
aud closeness in the calculations Of his moneys,
weights and measures, creditable to his talents
and industry We are not aware that any com
mercial country possesses work as ample as
that before US on comparative import duties
on the contrary, the extent of prior labors on the
subject do not, we learn, extend beyond com
parative view of tlro or three nations Mr.. II
has, therefore, the credit Of making an import
ant advance in this department OF statistics fo
such a service, at this crisis of our revenue, ht
is entitled to some substantial reward from those
who reap the benefit of his laborlous under
taking.
