In accordance with the provisions of the Consti,u-
ton Of the United States the 9th Congress convened
to day at the Capital and commenced its third and
last Session. But very few Members had arrived in

that q quorum would not be found in attendance;
this expectation however proved well founded with
regard only to one House.
The Senate was called to order at 2 O'Clock by
its President PRO TEN. Hon. W.P. NInngum orN
c., and it being ascertancd that hut "a members (no
quorum) were present, an ad iournment was moved
and carried.
Tn the House the Speaker, Hon. John White, of
Ky, took the chair at the same hour The roll was
called and ia members answered to their names.
A quorum being in attendance, on motion of Mr.
Gushing it WINS ordered that message be sent to
the Senate informing that body that quorum of the
House had assembled and were ready TO proceed to
business
Mr. Everett gave notice that tomorrow, or ut the
earliest opportunity he should ask leave TO introduce
bill TO repeal the Bankrupt law.
Mr. Adams caused burst of laughter b also Civ
ing notice Of resolution to rescnd the famous 2lst
rule, excluding petitions on the subject Of slavery.
Ness,s Wise and VIM Cost Johneon were in their
places, prepared, usual, TO resist any effort of this
kind. The notice. however received and the
renewal Of the oft repeated struggle on this subject
remains ye; be witnessed when the resolution shall
be offered
It being ascertained that 70 quorum of the Senate
had assembled.

LET JUSTICE SPEAK.

Time will always tell the truth. She is a
little coy sometimes as to committing herself to
an honest conclusion, but let her alone and in
the end her justice lriumphs, and she speaks the
truth.
Our readers will doubtless recollect, that one
of the grave charges preferred by the "Mani-
festo" politicians against the President during
the last summer session, and ever since reiterat-
ed, was supposed intention on his part in We
arms Of Benton and The Locofocos, What is
now, alas, for the the consistency of ultra
Whigism! the precise condition of things 3
Why the utter reputation of the Presdentby
Benton and his satellites, as an unworthy sub
ject of Radcalism, and a coalition at this very
moment existing between the Radical-Fede-
railsts. and the Radical Agrarians in Congress.
This combination has for its immediate object
the prostration of the Jeffersonian Republican
Administration now in power.
Every day some combination vote, either to
reject friend of the President appointed by
him to office, or to cramp his administrative
policy in some particular or ether of vital mo-
ment, is witnessed in the halls Of Congress-
Let the People look TO the votes in the Senate
upon the late rejected nominations, and the votes
in both Houses upon various other propositions
which have the effect Of striking down the
Executive arm, and they will be at once salts
fed Of the truth Of our assertion
Indeed, Federalism on the one hand, and
Radcalism on the other, are taking the alarm.
The Jeffersonian spirit Of the land is atousing,
and Jeffersonians, whether Wings or Demo
Gratis, heretofore discovered by accidental cir
cumstances, and kept asunder by the influence
of party lines, are rallying together to support
an honest Chief Magistrate. The President il
is perceived, is daily concentrating a vast
strength. The People go for the right, and
they look to the interests Of the country rather
than TO President-making, and they oiil moi
oppose any man who does right and admins
tiers the Government on sound principles, fol
the sake of making any mere party man Presi
dent

The horrid details of the trial of Holmes, that
Gently took plac in the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Eastern District of Pennsyya have
been spread before the public and whilst disposition
has been evnced by to paate the conduct of the
accused, is seen in the recommendation of Holmes
by the jury to the mercy of the court, not word is
uttered relative to the condition in which the William
Brown left Europe for this country. Every person
who enters vessel, publicly advertised passen-
ger vessel and pays his fare to be carried to his port
of destination, has right to expect that she shall be
properly equipped for that service. To be fitted out
only for calm sea, is fraud upon the persons who
committed their lives to such an imperfecly prepared
vessel To be competent in every peril to bear the pas
sengers in safety the ocean, each vessel employed
in that dangerous service ought to have the requisite
number Of boats to furnish each of the passengers
with seat, in the event of its becoming necessary

the persons in command daily to examine these boats,
and see that they in proper condition in the event
of such an appalling disaster IL there were am

the sinking of passenger ships We call public at
tenon to this subject and especially invite mem
bers of Congress to take this matter into their serious
deliberations We should have a highly penal law
providing for boats according to the number of pas
sengers. BY passing such an act Of humanity, our
Senators and Representatives will, while they dis
charge their duty, at the time the thanks

EXCHEQUER.

No man Of even the most ordinary intellect can
pretend seriously to doubt that the plan recommend
ed by the President, the plan OF Mr.. Gushing, OF
that OF the Senae's Committee, would render an in-
porant and essential service to the suffering country,
in the present condition OF the currency and exchanges
Nor any doubt that the protrac,ed neglect OF

forms, will ultimately be brought home to the real au-
thors of this unnecessary and un)ushahle delay
We do not hesitate to say that there fair
prospect that within the four years, National

at once be adopted, measure OF temporary Tellei
National Bank if chartered his month, could not be
put in operation in less than two years so as to pro.
duce any sensible effect in the community. The E1-
chequer could be made available in sixty days, from
the passage of the bill creating il, and round up IN
the same period il better plan should be devised =
Considered then in the light OF mere temporary expe-
dent should unquestionhbly be adopted as decidedly
preferable TO the subreasury. But not is feared
ay feared! The friends of National Bank fear il,
Is it asked how They fear, that if adopted, il will
prove acceptable to the peope, and become popular
enough to prevent the creation Of National Bank
Is not this true If not then let them establish an

their forces fol National Bank, and create one, II
they can to take The place of the Exchequer! They
cannot have National Bank short OF three years,

1t is now scarcely two months since the cry was a
rally for Tyler party-come in for offices, and
tain the President for second term. These are the
very words.--U. S. Gazette.
The very words in the Gazette--we never wrote
them. But the Gazette has said that Mr. Clay would
be made President What other press says so in Phi
ladelphia. We think more can be found to say nay
than yea. The nays, though, are charged with being
bought up" The nays have it.--IMadisonian.
The Madsonian hints that all the papers in Phila-
dephia, but the United States Gazette bought up.
We do not think so. But we advise the Mad isonan
not to trust too much to the present silence Of the
presseyen portion of those that have accepted the
patronage.-U. S. Gazette.
We hint no such thing. Our remark does
not admit of the inference. On the contrary,
we hint" at the groundless charge" made by
others-others that happen not TO have the pa
tronage, and may or may not make the charge
because they have il not.
Doubtless the Gazette will haye company in
the coming campaign; but we again assert that
majority of the Philadelphia papers will say
nay TO Mr.. Clay.
