A friend of mine, Mr.. Editor, has sug-
gesled that "there is smack of demOc,
racy in Phio's letters" Ii is strange that
there should be, when the veins of yonr

the interests Of the the mass: but there
can be no refutaton to the fac; that the
Interests of the working classes are inden-

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
There was an interesting debate in the
House Yesterday, on motion to consider
the question Of printing the Report of the
New York Custom House Committee
BY the vote ordering the printing POindex.
ter's Report was alone adoplod-that OF
Kelley and Stewart being rejected as
worse than useless. The motion to re.
consider was made with view of incIu.

Guilty, and that if the Senate should still
refuse, he would introduce the question
in such shape as TO admit ofn evasion
and which could not fail of the object
in view, to wit: Of communicating to the
people all the facts in the case. Mr. Al.

last report, but the motion was discounte.
nanced by decisive vote against the pro.
position This was done from the appre.
henson of the danger Of aglating the
case at this Crisic. What an over cautious
proceeding, 10 be sure. What misera.
