ms Congress mas matured more Important pHls,
has made greater number OF valuable and import
ant reports and done more business already, than any
Congress during the whole twelve years OF Jacksons
and Van Burens Administration"
We find this tremendous blast in the United
States Gazette, a paper thai has likewise taken
up the cudgels to beat out the political brains OF
Messrs. Morris and Goode, because they will
not confess that the Wing majority in Congress
Is honest and patriotic.
But let us look at the immense amountof
! business done by this Congress" IL is true
that Congress has made tremendous sight oil
reports-reports on various subjects, and In va
rious ways.
The first report of any note was the work OF
Bolts. Ii was despatched in his own hand
writing 10 Cufee House in Richmond,
where it was spread out 10 the gaze OF his con-
stiluents. 1t cannot be denied that Botts has
reaped all the credit of that re, ort on heading
The Manifesto was tremendou, report. Ii
shook the whole country. But luckily II was
not charged with ball. and 50 when the smoke
cleared away, nobody was found TO be injured
but the shooters, who were all "knocked over"
Subsequently The 'mousers" have not been
idle Mr. Davis made "twelve column re-
port in favor of a NATIONAL BANK! The Peo-'
pie should be remndel of this for, although
it as copied entire in the National lntelgea-
Ger, we do not remember to have seen it in any
other paper. We believe the Kentucky Journals
avoided 1t. But still he reported, and Of course
the country owes him debt of gratitude.
Mr.. Kennedy made loud report also. Our
recollection of il is so iadlstinct, that we know
not how TO designate it. We believe, at the
time it doomed upon the nation, no one could
tell whether it was fish, flesh, or fowl" OF
course the People are indebted to him for it, and
it is set down as portion of the great labor,
industry, and patriotsni," of the Wing MAORI
ty Of the present unrvalled Congress.
Some three or four tariff reports have been
made, for which the country should be thank
full, even if none Of them are adopted by the
Congress making them.
A score or 50 OF 9th reports have been made
by the committees, none of which, where any
good has been effected for the country, have,
we believe, been passed into laws by the Wing
Congress making them. But still the country
must be thankful to the committees for their We
ry great labor.
Mr., Poindexter made deatening report,
and Congress ordered it to be printed, which
was worth fortune to Gales & Seaton, IN
ready money, and made it the duty Of the Intel
ligencer to sing the praises Of Congress.
But the most startling report of all, after
the Wing majority had been in labor screen
months, was the twelve line bill, reported by
Mr. Fillmore, which he moved should be pass
ed in thirty minutes, inasmuch as the commit
tee was disposed to give immediate relief to the
suffering country. Yea, after seven months
confinement, the Wing maj NY brought forth
this fine bill-it was "little,N i, IS true, but yet
it was as great an achievement as that OF the
laboring mountain. Whether il was motse or
!, scorpion, has not yet been ascertained.
Reports have moi been wanting,, truly
Bots reported proviso to cut our throat. He
reported on the floor of Congress, that we had
only 200 subscribers, and the Intelgencer 49,
OO0-which was Wrapper. OF course we
will die hard. Still, the country is grateful TO
Mr. Bolts
Mr.. Davis will make an important report
. soon. ne ndu Us III MS uuih lOOills anu NuSS7
toned us about our business very closely. We
presume he is examining others yet. Every
ct ler man" he can catch. will catch ii. Ac-
cordng to the principle laid down by him, he
has the power 10 catch up farmer wherever
he can find him, and make him answer on oath
who pays the wages of his lahorers, who
loaned him money to buy his farm-how
much money he has laid up, &c. &c, if he Is a
"Tyler man" The mechanic can be dragged
before this terrible tribunal, and be made to an
swer if he evgr did any wo,k for the President
or any of his Cabin t--how much he was paid
whether his tools were paid for by himself,
with his own money, or whether the funds
, were advanced him by the Executive to vince
die him out Of his vole-if he is IA "Tylel
man ~
Truly this is great Congress! After the in
cessant labors Of seren months, do not the stu
pid People see that remedy has been furnish
ed for every evil Isnot the country flourish

praises of Congress- as the following will

THE PRESENT CRISIS.
The affairs of our country appear to have reached
