CONGRESS-THE PRES DENCY- THE
COUNTRY

Is Congress mad Is patriotism extinc, in that bo-
dy If not how can It's present conduct be account
ed for 7 These questions are daily asked, and are
making deep and painful Impressions upon the mind
of the people
They see at the head of the Government man sin
cerey DESTROYS of performing his duty faithful to the
Constitution, willing sacrifice himself in main
tanning it. But reckless faction, for the purpose of
achieving petty object Of selfish ambition, strives
to thwa all his noble efforts. In vain the Chief Ma
gstrae Of the nation reminds Congress OF the press
ing wants oil the public service in vain he tells them
of the embarI assments of the finances in vain he
shows them empty Treasury, the public obiga-
tons dishonored, and the national faith violated;
vain he urges the necessity of putting The country
suitable posture OF defence; lis appeals dsre-
garded and even now, when the clouds of war are
gathering blackness, and their muterng ihunders
are distinctly heard in the distance, the Halls of Con
eress resound with the hoangues of facous Jarsans
and the time consumed with the miserable intrgues
and counter inirlgues of few progate aspiranis
the Presidency.
These are facts no less melancholy than true. And
such state Of things calls loudly for reform. We
mistake the character of the American people If they
do not the call in tones that will make those
who are grossly abusing their confidence tremble
in their seats They never elected members of Con-
gress to make Presidents for Them but only to attend
to the legislative business of the nation The people
can take care of the Presidential question without
any Congressional interference. 1t is time that they
should begin to mark those who are trhing with the
mighty interests of the nation, at this most important
crisis for the purpose of visiting vengeance upon
them hereafter
Never did faction appear in so odous light
now. Ten days of vigorous action upon the legiti-
mate business of Congress would change the whole
face of things, bring light out of darkness and restore
confidence and hope. But, to speak always do,
IN plain and direct terms, it feared that if Congress
should give to President Tyler the Of dscharg-
ing his duty to the country he would do it well
that an honest hearted people might feel disposition
to re-ecct him for-another term. Hence, to coun-
teract this danger every effort is made to embarrass
him, and prevent his carrying on the Government
successfully. For the country this is deporable in
the cxtreme-but not for the President personally.
Faction is blind, as well as violent, and seldom fails
to prosecute its victims to immortality. If this dis
graceful upon the country continued for the
purpose of putting down Mr. Tyler, an indignant
people will sustain him by acclamation, We there
fore caution these presidential intrgucrs to beware
There is power that will say TO the Of fac
ton, thus far shalt thou go, but farther" The
people may love their respective parties, hut they
love their country more.

TWO MORE BANKS GONE.

The process is nearly, if not quite completed, OF
wiping oil the insolyent banks which have always
stood in the way of the sound ones and prevented re-
sumption. The run which was commenced upon the
Penn Township one Of the Relief banks continued
day, when the institution closed its doors and
officially announced that they would not be opened
again The run yesterday morning was then trans
ferred to the Mechanics Bank, in Third street above
Chestnut and after standing it about three hours, II
followed the example of the Penn Township and
shut up also There was also brisk run upon the
Manufacturers and Mechanics Bank, of Third
and line street which stood the test, and continued
ing until the usual hour of closing the bank The
Moyamensng also in for share Of the dlstrust,
and run was made upon it, but it net all the de-
mands against ii. Three of these banks are those
which accepted of the Relief law passed last SEES
sion and put forth the bills called the Relief" is

failed would go the moment they were held to any
accountability, and it is generally believed TO be all
the better that they out of the way OF the others,
though much individual loss is experienced in conse-
quence of their failure.
OF the other banks, at least it is confidently
stated will now commence doing business on specie
basis. The sound banks have prepared for an imme-
