OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL MADlSoNlAN,

The approaching session Of Congress viii,
doubtless, he the most important Que, IN many
respects, in the annals OF American politics.
The occurrences win be intensely interesting 10
every citizen, and we shall make extensive ar
rangements TO spread before readers the earli-
est, most elaborate, and most correct accounts OF
every thing that transpires at the capital. The
proceedings of Congress will be mnutely at
tended to, and speeches delivered IN both
Houses given at length.
The approaching Congress will differ in ma
ny respects from any OTTER 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 pollt-
cal conflicts, which may be anticipated, The
PEOPLES interests may not be altogether
neglected. One party will have the ascendency
III 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 defalcations have occurred, and that
the agents, entrusted with the public funds,
have merted the confidence of both parties. II
will find tariff somewhat imperfect, and diff
iering from the one recommended by Mr.. Tyler,
passed in the House by the casting votes OF
twenty-one Democrats-thiry.fr Clay wings
voting against il while in the Senate four or FIVE
| Democrats voled for il, and twice that number
| Of Wings against it. 1t will find that the cur
| rency of the country is in a sounder condition
than it has been for twenty years, and that too
| Without 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 pifh
out any interest at all. II 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 agtaled for the benefit of Presidential asp.
rants.
AT such time, 1t is necessary that the citl-
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 SEES
sion will no doubt be long, as well as intensely
exciting, and hence the inducement to sub
