PR OSPECT u S
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 to
every citizen, and we shall make extensive ar
engagements to spread before readers the earli-
est, most elaborate, and most correct accounts of
every thing that transpres at the capital The
proceedings Of Congress will be infinitely at
tended to, 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 polit-
cal conflicts, which may be anticipated, the
PEOPLES interests may not be altogether
neglected One party will have the ascendency
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 deialcations 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
tering from the one recommended by Mr.. Tyler,
passed in the House by the casting votes of
twenty-one Democrats-hirtyfre Clay-whigs
voting against it while in the Senate four or five
Democrats voted for it, 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
without 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 Nth
ont any interest at all. 1t will find dema-
gogues and political managers busy cheating
the People as usual, preaching Distribution, as
sumption Of Stale 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 aspi-
! rants.
At such time, it is necessary that the citI-
zens in every section of the Union should know
what is done by their atives, and be &C
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 inducement to sub.
scribe for the Madisonian by The year.
