W.suIsoroS, July l3 Some weeks since, we no,
/ ticed the singular faculty displayed by the Natonai
Intelligencer Of reporting IN adrance the proceedings

raj majority as the work of one dny, was announced
by the mornings Intelligencer as a thing to De accom-
plrshed during that day-and, as we saw an e3l'a,
ordinary attendance on the Federal side, we hazaiaeo
the conjecture, that this antici patton OF events, ny 'ne

learn that the Federal party, to save the tronoie OF d

party nothing further than to vote for the measures

Under this general order, the work was instantly he
pun-debate was gagged-a day fixed to put an end

In this stage Of the question, the National Intelligent
Ger of his morning comes out with another annuncia-
ton from the committee Of managers, explaining what
has been done, and what is to be done, viz
"The debate on The new Tariff bill was brought 10 n close in

President tor his appreciation
This is the programme by which legislation is to be
conducted. With such summary powers Of ~dIsposing
of things in the hands Of 4 few, the country will inquire
why the Federal majority, in session now almost a year,
have accomplished so little.
The President has thwarted them in nothing but a
National Bank and the little Tariff, which was to live
but n month. And now we find them in the midst oil
the great finance measure-by which their duty required
them to anticipate according 10 their own construction
the expiration of all the revenue laws. Will not the ma
ton have a right TO demand of the omnipolent leaders OF
Federal legislation, why they have made almost a per-
manent session Of their two years lease oil power, and
done nothing but 10 heap embarrassment upon the Go
yernment and al, the business Of The country. We have
heard that a witty, sagaciOus, and pleasant member oil
tho dominant majority remarked that the party never
expected 10 get power again, and therefore, were re-
solved to make the present exercise OF 1t as long as pos
sible. This is the best account OF the matter We nave
vet had Globe.
