CoNGREss-BUsfSEss president MAKING.-Con-
gress has now been In session nearly two weeks and
asyet hardly beginning has been made to business
OF any kind. The principal questions OF discussion
will be-lst the Excheqser Scheme; End. the Re
peal OF the Bankrupt Law; Sd. the Appropriations
on the British Treaty; ith the Tariff perchance,
and the Warehousing System for certain.
Many others may spring up, but these will be the
principal topics ofdebate.
Now, what will be done by this Congress? 1t
closes on the 4th Of March next, and they must
work hard, if they expect to execute any thing of
public utility. AT present the probabilities are in
favor of repeal of the Bankrupt Law, provided the
President don't veto the repeal-against the es-
Enlistment Of an Exchequer Scheme--and in favor
of Warehousing System.
The great business of the session, however, will
bePreside nt-making, and to advance the chances
of various candidates, all other measures will be
shaped. These candidates are Clay, the sole cand-
date of the wing party-and Cass, Calhoun and Van
Buren, the rival candidates of the democratic party
For the latter there will be great contest-but what
the result OF these elements may be, no one can tell
One thing is certain, that the contest for the Pres-
dency is always the great topic of the day-all other
movement, laws, measures, or intrigues, bend to
tnls one great 0D]ect one good effect always

to the whole country, which nothing else could give.
The contests in imperial Rome for the purple was
the means of keeping that empire together for cen
turtles. The office of emperor was the highest of
the State-the concentration of power-the great
centre of attraction-and all aspiring spirits of the

their ambition Such is the operation of the election
of President in this country. II gives more unity TO
the republic than all the constitutions in the world

THE PRESIDENTS VETO.

In another column Of to-days paper will be found
the veto message of the President, first given to
readers in the second edition Of yesterdays Times
Its reception here created no extraordinary excite
ment, for it was well known that the professions,
principles, and judgment Of the President, would
never permit him to sanction the passage of the bill
His opinions on this matter had been expressed too
often and his position had been distinctly Defined to
allow the friends of the bill to expect for moment
that he would repudiate the doctrines he had firmly
and noby maintained. The President feels deeply
sensible of the popularity of the position in which he
has been placed-the difficulties and annoyances by
which he is surrounded-but he does not lose sight,
for single moment that he IS called upon to act,
not for clique party but for the people. Although
his opinions have been repeatedly expressed, in the
present message he recapitulates his reasons, and
argues forcibly and unanswerably, we think,
against the measure which has been presented upon
his consi deration.

STATE DEBTS ASSUMPTION.

Should Henry Clay ever be elected President
of the United States, it does not require pro-
phet to predict that this will become favorite
and darling object with his Administration
We have no doubt that there is a general secret
understanding among all the leaders and princi-
pal politicians of the Clay Federaists to keep
close on this subject until after the next Presi-
dental election. There may be a few honora-
BILE exceptions, who have not come into this ar
rangement.
We neglected to notice fact that occurred
the other day, which sheds some light on this
subject, and which serves to show how prone
that party is to bldb out its purposes, even wher
restrained by the most obvious considerations
of policy and prudence.
It will be remembered that VIM Cost Johnson
of Maryland, Boosting 10 be a States Rights
man, and claiming to be the peculiar guardian
of this subject, presented memorial signed by
citizens of Pennsylvania praying the action o
Congress in relation to it. A debate sprung u
on motion to refer the memorial to commit
tee, in which it was claimed as the beginning
