PERPETUAL SESSION OF CONGRESS-ITS
OBJECTS

The decree appears to have gone forth that Con-
gress will not adjourn before the month Of Sepem-
Der, and from the unusually small amount of bust
that has yet been perfected, compared with
the immense that TO be done, it is hard
ly probable that even September will bring the
sion 10 close but 1t will find lis ending only imme-
dlaely preceding the time when the must
by law commence. The present Congress, by thus
protractng their session, il they have done good to
else, have at least done good to themselves
and all charity is said to begin home the mem
bers of the present Congress must at all events be
set down very charitable collection of self
esteeming gentlemen, careful Of their interests, if
not of their patriotism But the midst of the self
complacency duged by these able and faithful rep
resentatives of their own purses and pockets it may
be well to inquire whether that the special bust
for which they were sent to legisate and whe-
Their they not chosen rather to regulate and
guard the affairs of the great nation TO enact such
laws necessary for the public veal TO perfect
such measures calculated to subserve the best
interests of their constituency instead of having
their whole attention directed to their individual
comforts and consequence, and violating the conf
dence reposcd in them by talking against time. and
endeavoring to degrade coordinate de- artment of
the Government.
In the good old days of the republic, before selfish
had ripened into science, the ar. of caioling
the people had been counted as one of the cardinal
virtues-the representatives considered as the
serpdntS-the people their sovereigns and masters
Ii was then deemed part at least of the duty of
the legislators TO reg I'd the will of the people and
carry out their wishes far as il was possible to
do But this principle, if still in existence is not
reduced to practice IN any considerable degree in onr
degenerate days. For appears now to be the very
of patriotism to trhe with he wishes and in
erest of the people, and TO regard them in no other
light, than the convenient stepping stones of the
representatives interest and ambition. When on g
warmly nestled in their seats in Congress-the first
business lat'erly has been the passage of act APP
proprating money to pay themselves their wages
and then tardiy to devise and tcdiously to discuss
other measures, ostensby for the benefit of the com
munity, butin reality to benefit themselves, TO put
money ~ their pockets, or to accomplish some object
selfish IN ITS purpose and intended to advance their
future fortunes or fame, in the way of official eleya
ton. AS necessarily connected with these is the i'm

DIR. Brgham's views with regard to insanity, ex-
tend much farther than those adopted by the people
generally. He seems to think that genius is very
closely allied to insanity and instances several very
distinguished men, whose greatest efforts he attri-
butes to ncipient madness while he seems to admit
that the insanity was rather an improvement of their
mental powers than otherwise. Among those ames
are Byron, Luther, Rosseau, Robert Hall and even
Dr. Johnson He thinks that in their writings ode
scrpons of incpient madness" may be found, "ev-
IDENTITY drawn from their sensations
The Institution continues to enjoy the valuable
services of the Rev +. II Gallaudet, whose aid as
Chaplain, is essential in the moral treatment of pa
tents.

NATIONAL RRENCY-PRESIDENT TYLER

National currency why, we have none you say
Well, and what is the reason The Wings in Con-
gress think it will compromise what they consider
fundam ntal principle, to go for any thing short of
National Bank. This at least is the assigned
why they will not take up and pass the Exchequer
bill AS times are now, this fiscal scheme must if
tried afford some relief Ii would at least affect and
regulate the exchanges of the country, and this alone
would be an important item, if, suppose the
excess that the merchant pays in exchange put on
the price of his goods. But it we think it would do
more. We think it would considerably affect and
regulate the general currency. But if did no more
than equalize exchanges this would in a measure re-
lieve the country from its present embarrassing
dition. Why then does not Congress, while it has
the power, minister this partial relief We fear
there is something behind the assigned, why
the Exchequer scheme receives little favor In
stead of compromising any fundamental principle of
the Wings, very much fear many of the Wings in
Congress are afraid of compromising the interests of
Henry Clay. We have no desire to judge hal SHY
neither have any desire to bring false accusa-
ton against any of the Wings in Congress By their
fruits do Judge them Seven months have elapsed,
and all is barrenness, as far as the settlement OF any
important national question is concerned They have
certainly known all along that President Tyler with
his present scrupes cannot conscieDtiously in his
own estimation sign such Bank bill as the " higs
think the exigencies of the country require. Very
well must the country remain without any national
currency three years longer ~hen we have the pow
er to have something better merely through the lear
of jeopardzing the political prospects of one man,
however great that man may be acknowledged to be
If this be the principle Of acton-lf this be the test
If this be the issue-hen must we oppose this dan
gerous one man influence. Not that we love the
Wing party less but that love our country and
its true interests more. Patriotism forbds our TAX
ing any other course. AS much have admired
the better traits IN Mr. Clays character-as much as
love the trle principles Of the political creed OF
| the Wing party, we would utter our humble protest
against this destructive ant-Whig doctrine OF doing
| ''ev that good may come" The glory of one man
cannot be weighed in the same balance with the sui-
| ferngs of whole nation. Tho people are oyerbur
dened and g ound to the earth in consequence of the
arrangement of the currency. The very for relief OF
some kind. If they cannot get what they may con-
slider the greater, give them the less. Let Congr IS
then try the Exchequer scheme and if it works well
and answers the purpose, let President Tyler have
the praise-if otherwise let him endure the censure
