CLOSE OF THE SESSION.

The session Of Congress closed its nine
months labor at o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon.
On Wednesday morning the following
senate bills, or bills, with senate amend
ments, before matured, passed the house,
and become laws by the signature of the
President: the Fertilization bill, the Wyan-
dot Treaty bill, the bill for the pay Of
Engineers, the bill provided for the sup
port Of the Penitentiary Of the District,
and several local and private bills. There
was no debate-lhe time having been most
ly consumed in calling the house, and cal
ling yeas and nays.
The Treasury Note bill was passed in
the Senate, 10 to g. and became a law.
The bill recognizing the Navy depart
ment, also passed both houses, and is
law.
The Senate again re ected the nomina-
ton of Mr.. CLINTON, as collector at But
falo, and Mr.. LATHRop was nominated and
confirmed.

States, ministers were despatched by Mexi
CO to all the South American Republics

ing language:-
That the United States would conquer
this country, and unless you enable us to
resist such aggressons as may be perpe-
trated Ivy the United States-she will pro-
coed to embrace in her mighty grasp the
whole Of the Southern Continent
Accordingly Columbia has agreed to fur
nish 1000 men, and more pecuniary aid.
No answers TO these propositions had been

ME AR Vi \.

In the National lntelligencer Of yester-
day, we find the laws passed for re-organi-
zing the Army and making appropriations,
and as there has much confusion about
them, we subjoin the chief items of inter-
est:
Sec. |. The bill for organization directs
thai as soon as the reduction can be eflec-
ted, each company of dragons shall con-
sist of 50 Prlvates, retaining its present
complement of officers, non-commissioned
officers, &c.-that the second dragoon
shall be converted after fth March, into Il
rifle regiment-that each company OF ar
tllery and infantry shall consist OF ~ pr-
Yates, retaining in other respects It's pres
ent organization.
Sec. IL. Abolishes the office Of superin-
tendent o. armories at Springfield and Har-
per's Ferry and confines the superinten-
dence hereafter to ordnance officers 10 be
designated by the President, regulars 10
pay of armorers, &c. and Of military store
keepers-of which latter, ten only are to
be retained. The remainder (l3 we be-
Iieve) to be discharged with three months
pay.
Sec. III. Abolishes the office Of Com
missary General, aud transfers its duties TO
the Quartermaster's Department.
Sec. ". Aboishes one Inspector Gen
eral, three paymasters, trO surgeons and
ten assistant surgeons, all to be allowed 3
months pay.
Sec. V. Provides for a competent per-
son to be employed by the ordnance bureau

The opposition to the regularly nominated DEM
ocratc ticket indusriously endeavoring to per-
suade the electors of the county, that the democrat
ic party are rent with divisions and that local diff
culties exist to such extent, renders the
cess of the whig ticket almost certain. These
reports will doubtless be magnifed and heralded
through the country. The democratic party can
not be mlsled by this kind of arfce. Were it even
true, that divisions among the democrats exist to
such an extent, as to work their defeat, what does
that argue against the principles of democracy, or
in favour of the opposite party? According to the
doctrines of some OF the wing leaders, it is virtue
for to vote with the party, which has the
greatest prospect of success, and that bare tri-
umph, is more than paramount to any principles
that are involved in the contest.
But we apprehend the result will prove, that the
dssentions which reported to exist in our ranks
exist more in ina gnation than in fact. The de-
mocrats in this county are clearly in the majority
and melted by regard for the cause, they will be
found doing their duty the polls of the election.
" Loco NoMrNAT1oNs-We do not intend to offer
any thing in relation to their candidates at present
But we nave nearu many lnlelHgeHl anu IeSpeCtd-
bic men of that party say that the ticket as whole
was an insult to the good sense of the people, and
if elected, would be a disgrace to the party.
The foregoing paragraph is from paper, which
processes be the organ of the wing party in this
county its tone and spirit is probably an index to
the kind of opposition which will be waged against
the democratic candidates. How far such language
and such electioneering, will find favour with the
people remains to be seen. Those who rely upon
such means for success, must have formed low
estimate of the public mind which they attempt to
influence. We are not disposed to retaliate or
throw any unjust imputa'ions upon the candidates
of the WING party-they are before the people; and
at the tribunal of the ballot box, they will be poii
