For The LiteAfeld ENQUIRER.

The Convention of the friends of the Home
League, which recently met at Hartford, appointed
committees in the several counties, with power to
call county conventions, for the purpose Of further
organization and action in those counties which
seemed to be sufficiently alive to the importance of
this subject, to render such call expedent. Under
this authority, County Conventions have, believe,
been called in the counties ofNew-Haven Hartford.

their part to give expression to the sentiments Of the
county. Not only the manufacturing, but every 9TH
er interest in New-England, is concerned in this
great question of Protective Tariff. The ruin
which would follow the opening of ports to the
cheap labor of Europe, would indeed strike down
for its first victims the manufacturers scattered.
throughout this section ofthe country, and with them
destroy the beautiful and thriving villages that have
every where sprung up, as by magic. under their
fostering handss With the birth of the protective
policy they were called into existence, with its aban
donment they must perish nor they alone; the thou

WASHINGTON, March 2.
The proceedings in Congress to-day have
been of no great interest. Something has
been said, but nothing whatever done of
any publis interest. Mr.. Wright, in the
Senate, has made a very able and logical
speech upon the resolutions introduced by
Mr.. Clay. The speech was in Mr.. Wright's
best style, and in manner a model of what
a speech should be. Its conclusions will
be regarded as untenable, and many will
think it strange that a man of Mr.. Wright's
strength of mind should maintain such po-
sition as he avows in regard to the Tariff
and Compromise Act. He opposes Protec-
ton, and is for limiting the rate of duty to
20 per cent to effect this, and to bring
about an expenditure corresponding to the
receipts of government. He proposes re-
peal of the Distribution Bill, and has put
his wits to work for upsetting the Distribu-
ton policy and the Tariff at the same
breath.
The House of Representatives have been
discussing. though in a different shape, the
same question Of retrenchment. The other
business has been of no interest.

deep consciousness of the political cheat that
is praetised. is fast stealing over every part
ofShe country-and its natural causes and
effects are beginning to be accurately appre-
ciated.
1t is already matter of general observa-
ton, that the real business interests of the
country are not duly represented in Con-
gress, and in the State Legislatures. 1t is
seen That, with the exception of the two
Rhode Island members, the whole Senate of
the United States consists of men bred to one
professionalism of the law. 1t is also no.
ticed that about three fourths ofthe House of
Representatives are of the same profession.
May it not, in part at least, be ascribed to
this fact, that there are so many political
wrangles, so much indifference to the public
business! We mean no dsrespect to the le-
gal profession, when we say that a whole
Congress professional men Is not SO likely
to understand the true, practical interests of
the great mass ofthe people, nor so likely TO
feel sympathy with them, as Congress
drawn from all the different classes and oc-
equations of society. The question whether
these remarks are entitled to much considc.
ration, we must leave to our readers to de-
cide--but one thing is perfectly certain
and that is. that there is some radical error
in the selection of men to manage the impor.
tant public matters which deyolve upon Con.
gress. They are, many of them, either
Grossly deficient of the requisite practical
knowledge, or they are criminally negligent
rs the exercise of that knowledge, or they
are criminally negligent in the exercise O

9rNo business Of any public importance was
transacted in either house Of Congress last week, and
with the exception of very able speeches from Messrs
Clay, Wright and Smith Of Indiana, on the resolu.
tons introduced by Mr. Clay in reference to the Ia
riff, &c. nothing of interest occurred. 1fthe sugges-
ton of friend Of the Tribune could be adopted Of
paying Members Of Congress five hundred or thou

ance. the business Of the nation would be transacted
with much less delay.
