PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL MADISONIAN.

The approaching session Of Congress Will
doubtless, be the most important one, in many
respects, in the annals of American politics
The occurrences will be intensely interesting 10
every citizen and we shall make extensive ar
rangements 10 spread before readers the earll-
est, mos, elaborate, and most correct accounts OF
every thing that transpires at the capital, The
proceedings of Congress will be mnutely at
tended 10, and speeches delivered in both
Houses given at length.
The approaching Congress will differ in ma
ny respects from any other ever convened
The Executive will be firm and just, and
yet courteous and conciliatory TO all the parties
that compose the Congress- SO that in the politi-
cal conflicts, which may be anticipated, The
PEOPLES interests may not be altogether
neglected. One. party will have the asceudency
in the Senate-the other in the House, while
the President will strive, IN BEHALF OF THE
COUNTRY, TO harmonic their legislative action.
Congress will find that, under the present
Executive, the revenues being in responsible
hands, no delalcaions have occurred, and that
the agents, entrusted with the public funds,
have merited the confidence of both parties. 1t
will find tariff somewhat imperfect, and diff
ierng from the one recommended by Mr.. Tyler
passed in the House by the casting votes OF
twenty-one ID tmocrats-fhirty.fre Clay wings
voting against il; while in the Senate four or FIVE
Democrats voted for il, and twice that number
of Wings against it. II will find that the cur
rency of the country is in sounder condition
than it has been for twenty years, and that too
aoithout a Bank, or anything of kindred ma
ture; while the FIVE millions of Treasury notes
authorized to be issued bearing six per cent,
are taken by the Government creditors With
Ont any interest at all. 1t will find dema-
gogues and political managers busy cheating
the People as usual, preaching Distribution, as
sumption of State debts, Bank, &c. But they
can never make much progress while Mr. Tyler
is President All these exciting subjects will
be agitated for the benefit of Presidential asp-
rants.
AT such time, it is necessary that the citi-
zens in every section of the Union should know
what is done by their representatives, and be ac-
quainted with the import and design of the de-
bates and movements in Congress The ses
sion will no doubt be long, as well as intensely
exciting, and hence the nducement to SUBJ
scribe for the Madisonian by The year.

Missouri. The ST. Louis Democra, states
that james Layton had been convicted a

committed upon his wife, two and n half
years since, aud Saturday week, was the
appointed day for his execution. He had
obtained from the Governor q respite ill

lumber OF 5000, assembled 20 witness The
execution ut the appointed time. An i'm
