4 .Nhnrt Sesslnu


The proposition that made few days ago. seems
TO take, only because II is in unison with the general
WISHES of the country. The Speaker Of The House III
his Introductory speech struck The first ball OF the ses-
sion, and recommended energy of action for pur-
pose of abrldgng The duration OF Inc and the
expenses OF the Treasury. Some Of the members re-
echoed the senliment-and hnaar, that il the de-
termination Of the Republican Delegates 10 bring the
session TO close pessiba. Some early day
IN February is the umost limit to which some Of them
are willing to 90; but the members must recoliect that
the length Of the session in the ratio Of the
length Of their speeches. The longer they talk, the
more they SPIN out the session. We stated, after the
election OF last Spring, that should take The liberty
OF ringing in their the knc of the press from
week t, week, if net from day to day. We shall re
publish these declarations in next they now
"words in season. but in the mean time, we submit,
far better article from late member of the Lagsa-
tu!e, who las witnessed the evil Of which he COM
plains, has studied the remedy and is most anxious to
apply 1t to tie present session, without fear, favor,
affection.
