 91- Congress has again assembled, and will, be- yond probability, take hold of business with eagerness than at its former sessons-iffor other cause, having only about three months allotted them for labor. The Message of their officiating President has been submitted to their serious care and attention which have spread before our req. ders this week. With what consideration this doc ument will be received is beyond our conjecture, as the author is noted for instability in carrying out schemes of his own introduction-when supported though not eractly as he intended they should be.
 It will be observed that he is particularly laudato- ry of my administration. Notice, too, is made of the existing defects in the present Tariff and the Warehousing System and the Exchange Scheme are strongly recommended. Following these is a re- commendation to refund Ex-President Jackson the fine imposed upon him at New-Orleans. Some poli- tiea motive is apparent n this last scheme PerAaps he will be able to accomplish his object; but doubtful
 0r To preserve memorials of those we love, is, to all right feeling minds, of the purest plea sure. Gifts are the tributes of affection; and how fondly are they cherished; ring, book, an auto graph in an album, any thing that recalls the absent friend - especially with what a sacred tenderness they cherished when the donors are parted from us by the grave. How trebly dear, thea, are those gifts and memorials, which to the force of dead as- sociation add the power of lfeike recall-TAlrHru1 PORTRAITS memorials given, it may be, by parents to their children, and which, the course of nature to endure long after the faces of the gvers are changed by death silent witnesses of what ever of good or evil fortune may befall the households in which their hopes and affections garnered up it the parents were so wisely good as to have been objects of respect and pous reverence in life, then ever present mintors perchancs guardian angels of those households.
 We arc led to these thoughts by visit to the gall lery of MT. SNYDER, Portrait Painter, who is spend ing the winter in village. MT. Snyder has alrea- dy taken the portraits of many of our inhabitants with singularly happy success. His terms, as we understand, are moderate, and visit to his rooms where his "works do praise him. will speak more forcibly ofhis merits than any language of ours we may however be permitted to say that such an opportunity of obtaining correct kenesses of their friends. is presented to our fellow citizens, as may not soon recur.
 91 Daniel Webster has accepted an invitation to deliver Address at the celebration of the comple- ton of the Bunker Hill Monument, on the r of June next.
 At recent town meeting in Danbury, the Wings elected their Selecsmen and other officers by about 90 majority.
 In Norwalk the Wings elected clean ticket.
 Our New-York papers having failed reaching us on Friday morning last, we are indebted to MT. Oliver Wolcot for an early copy of the Presidents Message
 a- We are gradfed to learn that dancing school is to be again established amongst us. The objections to this species of amusement seems to be almost entirely done away with by the progress of temperance. Dancing parties and dissipation are no longer conjoined, and youth meet for the purpose of enjoying few hours of this hsalthfu and rational indulgence without danger of falling into those pernicious habits formerly too often connected with balls and dancing assemblys. The generous and enlightened public spirit of those of our land lords who have suitable rooms has already, we are told, afforded some enjoyment to our young people
 MAssAcHusErrs.-It appears, after all, says the Hartford Courantthat parties are so near being equal ly divided in the Legislature, that it win be imposs ble to tell which has a majority in joint ballot until that body shall assemble. Giving the Locos all they claim of the Senators, and taking the Whig account of the politics of the members elected to the House. and the Loco majority on joint ballot will be one-a favorable number for ex.Governor Morton We hope, however, for different result.
 SoUTH CARoLINA.-A gentleman of this city. says the Hartford Courant, received letter yesterday, dated Columbia, South Caroline. Dec. 2d, which states that the Hon. Geo. M'Dufis, was on ths, day elected U. S. Senator, fill the vacancy occasion. ed by Mir. Preston's resignation, and also for six years from the 4th of March next The writer adds, that Mir.
