the facts for their reports Might they not make
these reports authentic bodies Of information for
Congress and the country! And how is this to be
done? BY making them the expression Of the ideas
of some committees chairman or member, who,
perhaps, has not the smallest practical knowledge
of the matter, or possibly cares only to make out
good case for party, in the next election or is it
to be done only by fair and complete inquest,
which shall embody not the guesses and theories of
an M. c., nor the misrepresentation of party
but the facts and the results of practice derived
from taking counsel with all the most skilful men
that can be got together.
In the former sort of legislative report we can
see nothing that is of value towards shaping wise
laws il is but the written discourse of one or two
men it is but Mr.. A. or BIS speech upon paper ;
and perhaps Mr.. A. or Mr.. B. knows of the sub
iec exceedingly little or possibly he is, under the
mask of legislator, only the advocate, the attor-
ney of faction, who care not fig what laws are
made, so that, under pretence Of preparing your
legislation, they may blacken their adversaries and
delude the public with success.
On the other hand, what not the advantages
Of the other method 1t makes committee not
the instrument of party-constituted with majority
representing party, that il may bring in report
such as party wants. a committee not to do fac
tons work, or intrgue's, or deception's but that
of wisdom and honesty, in framing what is good
for the commonwealth. Once let your Congress
sional committees be employed chiefly in the minis
teral duty of examining The grounds OF legislation,
and asceraining the facts that should govern it; let
them once begin to be The medium for conveying
to the minds of the Legislature The kaoscledge and
the judgments Of the most skiyM and upright
men of business on those subjects and as TO those
facts of 1ohih ha1-n,akerS and politicians kno,c so
much less; let them once grow into mere COM
mission Of scrutiny, to obtain and record for Con
gress the clements upon which to form right con-
cluson, and certainly great step will have been
taken towards sound system of legislation, instead
Of that exceedingly inefficient and even mischievous
one which we now practise.
The faul, then, in the British plan, of which the
Chronicle complains, is an inconvenience natural to
that plan, but compensated by very great advan-
tages while the fault in our American plan is a
radical one.

INDIAN SUMMER.

We do not always have " Indian Summer" properly
speaking and the Question whether ths is the Indian
Summer often very puzzlng subject for teaable talk.

chiefly derive literature. 1t is like the farewell lingering
look of departed friend We persuade ourselves
that winter is pleasant Winter like old age
may be kindly and have its charms but youth and
tuy, spring and summer the joyous The
origin Of the term Indian Summer probably unknown to
many Of readers With the white man engaged in agr-
cultural pursuits which, during the early settlement of this
country his chief occupaon the and early part
of the fall the chief for gathering crops and these
he then made the occasion for peculiar enjoyment and esy

fall rusng from the trees the shines dmy through

December hailed with every feeling of delight by the In
dans; fire set 10 the dry leaves Of the Forest which

SHAMEFUL WASTE OF MoNEY.-The leaders OF
the Abolitionists in this State Notwithstanding the
diminishing paucity of their numbers, persist, year
after year, in wasting money-collected in most in
stances from their deuded followers, who are poorly
able TO afford it from their hard earnngs-in print
ing handbills and tickets, for the pretended purpose
of being put into the ballot boxes. In this quarter OF
the State the number of votes poed by this party is
too small to excite any other feeling than that of RI
dicue and contempt. For instance, in this city, at the
election just over, Charles O. Shepherd, their
didae for Lieutenant Governor, received 80 votes
or one Uote in every thousand Uotes polied. The
expenses Of printing and distributing Abolition
tickets and handbills advertising and eectioneerng,
must have been several hundred dollars. Is it not
time for this contemplate party to desist from
wasting the money Of their poor followers in this
way ~. y. Express.

Governor MARTIN, of Alabama, has just issued his
third proclamation calling on the war patriots to
volunteer and fill up the five companies required OF
that State some six months ago. Only one COM
pany has yet been raised in that thorough Locofoco
State from which it seems that the Locofocos greatly
prefer to talk against Mexico to fighting against her.
Where are the Locofoco editors and demagogues of
Alabama who have written and talked so much of
the justice of this war, and of the duty of all pari-
OTIS to volunteer their services in tl There are
enough of them to form a regiment but these per-
refuse TO enlist notwithstanding it is their duty
to do so according to their own doctrine.
