From the Anna icnn ,SeniineL

If as is asserted by some the action of the House
of Rel resentatives upon the Navy appropriation was
induced by the fact that no measures had been taken
to provide additional revenue, and that conseq
authority could be given for additional expendi-
ture it would seem, upon superficial view OF the
case that they had acted consistently and from consci-
entous motives of duty in refusing the appropriation:
But opne, that they will not be allowed to lay this
hattering junction to their souls. They have bee n
long enough in Washington to have made provision
for this and every other expenditure necessary keep
the wheels Of government in notion and to relieve
the country from the evils which the want of uni
form currency has inflicted upon u.s. Why have they
done it, The subject has been presented to their
consideration time after timchas been called up, de-
bated, and laid aside for FUTURE action.
They have done nothing, absolutely nothing, and
that the time of adjournment is beginning TO he
agated by the more conscientious among them, they
have all the public business to transact least that
part of which more Immediately concerns the people
As you observed The other day. Mr.. Editor, this Con-
gress is famous one for doing nothing'-yet it is
said they could not make an appropriation, because
there was no provision made for additional revenue
The opposition which almost every measure emana-
ting from the President has met would to evince
determination on the part of members to embarrass
his movements, and if, as strongly suspect the OPP
position TO this proceeded from this cause
hope the Indignation of the people will fall heavily
upon them.
