ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
Congress adjourned on the 3lst ult. If
ter session Of nine montls--,he longest
ever known in this country.
Nothing Of interest to our Territory
has been done Cor the last three months
and nothing for the country-,he time
and moneythat belonged to the people hav-
ing been squandered by the wings in their
patriotic efforts to ';hcad the President"
Inc House, ON the day Of adjourn
mcnt, did business without quorum
voting away money by wholesale which
had been refused by full house. This
is the "rctrenchment' we were promis
ed.
The passage Of a law authorizing the
issue of treasury notes-and the new
Tariff act, were among the importan
proceedings Of the last hour Of the Sos
sion. Some private bills were passed
but nothing Of general interest wa:
done.
And thus has ended the everlastin
Congress Of 842-without one cent o
profit to the people, Notwithstanding the
promises Of whiggery, and leaving tn
government millions in debt by thei
long session and their extravagant np
preparations to illegitimate objects.
What do the. people think Of thu
