From the Albany Evening Atlas
THE OPENING OF CONGRESS.

II is somewhat striking illustration Of the char
acter of the wing press that, after nearly twelve
month of Industrious scanda-mongering the fact of
which was to illustrate the force Of the dissensons
in the democratic party, the extent of its rupture,
and its probable fatal manifestations, Congress should
meet together and exhibit greater harmony upon
principle and in action than has ever before been
Witnessed
1t shows the fidelity and sagacity of the corps of
eaves.droppers at Washington in the employ of the
wing press-the foresight of that body Of intclec-
tual editors, who 80 uniformly prophecy wing VIC
tories at every election, and uniformly spy
out in the rpening seeds of time, the of DEM
ocratc overthrow.
Congress has organized, the democratic caucuss-
have met and completed their business with far
les division manifestation Of dissent than usual,
and their decisions have received concurrence
unanimous, according to the confessions of these
very wing prints than ever before.
The unity of political sentiment manifested is
hardly less striking not only in itself, but in the
contrast it offers to the predictions Of the wing
press. The message Of the President has received
an appreciation unanimous and earnest, not only on
the part of the body to which it addressed, but
Of the whole democratic party, and we may safely
add, of the popular Masses The measures it puts
out and the general line Of policy it indicates have
invoked the cordial corporation Of the democratic
ranks They constitute the bonds of unity, which
keep together the democratic hosts in that concert Of
action, which has much surprised and disappoin,-
ed our political opponents. Here the founda-
ton error of the wing prophets. They should have
sought some cause Of diversity of principe-should
have established the fact that the democratic ranks
would be counsellcd to compromise in principle or
TO seek new grounds Of action, and that proved
should have built thereon their vaccinations Of rup-
ture and factous animosity in ranks. But fail
ing to find this, they might have learned in the past
history Of the democracy that the bonds Of prnci.
Pile were the surest ties to political unity and concert
of action.

The following is q "private" note; but we take
the liberty of making it public. 1t is from man
who is in every way worth possessing both from
his military experience and his independence of
character:
I send you the incosed, taken from the "Journal
Of Commerce" which, as it gives some satisfactory
account Of the army in Texas, and Just praise TO
our excellent Secretary Of War, think it would be
well to publish it in the "Union:"
FROM CORPUS CHRISTI
Correspondence Of the Journal of Commerce.
CoRPus CHRIsTi, Texas,
October 30, I645
Our army now amounts to about 1000 men and
300 officers. No sight can be more beautiful than
our camp, as seen from the hills stretching along
the shores Of the bay for the distance Of two miles
Long avenues Of tents, resembling streets in this
canvass city, make up most exciting scene. At
night the illusion is very great; and, when the camp
fires are lit, one may easily imagine himself in the
vicinity of some great town.
The bay-which, before the arrival Of the army,
only disturbed once or twice month by the ar
rival of some small craft or smugger from Calves
TOMS alive with vessels of every description
constantly arriving and departing Twenty or thr-
ty vessels, including steamers, schooners, and
sloops, may be seen here at one time. Houses, too,
arise as if by magic. II is, however, doubtful
whether they all can aspire to that name or import
ance, most Of them being built of canvass cloth,
hides, and covered with the same materials.
We hear nothing of the Mexicans, and are not
likely to see them, except mule-drvers; many in
that capacity daily arrive here from the Rio Grande
with droves of mules and horses.
The army in high spirits. and the best feelings
prevail in all its branches All hands award 10 our
Secretary Of War the highest praise for the
ful manner in which he has thus promptly provided
for our comforts. The equipments Of the army are
substantial, and all that we require for prompt
ton in the field. Our seem much attached TO
their officers, and all prepared to follow the
lead of General Taylor upon an instant's notice.

shown that il was fairly and honorably made, the
next inquiry is, whether this organization failed in
any of their dutcs The charge is, that 'the State
committee did little or nothing"
That committee is best able to vindicate itself, if
any vndicaton be needed against this aspersion
But we deem it proper to say, that the committee
did all in their power TO give effect TO the nomi-
nations Of the convention, which were cordially
approved, and TO induce the voters TO come to
the polls Meetings were held once fortnight, at
which the members attended, at their individual ex-
pense, from remote parts of the State. The candi-
date nominated by the convention for lieutenat gov
ernor having declined the delicate duty OF supply
ing the vacancy devolved on the State committee, and
was performed with unanimty and TO the entire nc.
ccptance Of the party. A thorough and efficient
plan Of organization for the whole State was formed,
and printed circulars, urging this organization in de-
towns throughout the State. Had it been carried into
effect, the democratic party would have gone into
the election more perfectly organized than at any
period in their history. If it not carried into
effect il could not be attributed TO the democracy of
Boston, but TO other causes operating throughout
the State, and over which they could have no con-
troll. The State committee also prepared and wide
ly circulated an address which indicated nothing but
union, and exhorted to jealous cooperation, and
which has been universally approved by the whole
party in the State, and by the Washington Union,
and other prominent democratic papers throughout
the nation In no State election, within our recol-
lection, has the State committee done more within
the time for which il appointed before the cleo
ton and never has il acted with more entire unanim-
ity.
Again, il is charged by the writer in the "Union'
that ''the county committee Of Boston did nothing
This is equally untrue with the asperson upon the
State committee. The meetings Of the county and
ward committees were frequent and az numerous
y attended as has ever happened in the same penod
