THE LAST LEyEE OF THE SEASON

The levee held by the President on Tue day
evening last, was most brilliant affair, aud gave
satisfactory evidence of the esteem in which
that high functionary is held in his social rela-
tlons. Among the vislers of peculiar note were
Washington Irving and the distinguished au-
thor OF the Pickwlck Papers, in addition to
whom almost all oil the Ministers OF Foreign
Powers near our Government We're IN atten-
dance in their full court dresses. The rooms
were filled TO overlooking with the talent and
beauty OF the metropolis, whilst Senators and
Members OF Congress. without distinction Of
party, served TO give interest and animation to
the scene II seems TO us that these leyees are
peculiarly adapted TO the genius of our inslilu
lions, inasmuch as all who please may go with
out infringement Of etiquette, and whilst we
almost regret that they are at an end for sea
son, we look forward with pleasure to the period
when they will be renewed.

have predcated this opinion in part upon the report
Of Lieutenant Powell and ia part upon such general
information as have derived from other sources,
which II is impossible now TO specify. OF the
SHY of such an establishment cannot entertain a

In accordance with the request of the Committee
communicated in your note | now submit for their
consideration the rough DRAFT of bill to authorize the
Postmaster General to contract with railroad compa

to Congress would not desire, but would repudatc
power to make contracts of the magnitude which the
subject involves, to bind the United States, without
any further action of Congress.
This far from seeking to enlarge the
patronage and power of this branch of the Executive

to surrender il forever TO the Legislative Department,
and deprives the Postmaster General of all power or
control over these companies other than the power TO
the contracts faithfully executed by them.

of paying debts to that amount only, it must
have served to discharge obligations to an inf
nitely greater extent
Keeping the process above described in view,
we will ask Congress to assign, if It can, a
limit to the benefits which its procrastination
has withheld from the country, during a time of
universal pressure, dependency, and distress.
The exclusive friends of National Bank may
talk as they please of the injury done by the
Veto, in preventing the chartering of such an
institution but, with all due Difference, we will
assert that, as times have been, their charter
would have been entirely ineffective in correct
