From the Correspond nj Of the Tr;bsne.
WASHING TON. Saturday, June ;.
The two Houses will not adjourn next
week. The courtesy extended BY the
Wings 10 the Loco Focos. on occasion Of
the Convention Of the latter at Baltimore,
will no, be returned. not certainly from
any churlishness on the part Of tho Loco
Focos. bu. from disnchnation on the part
of the Wings.
The l.oco-Focos viii urge. during tho
quasi-suSpension Of Congress. no strictly
partisan measure. |, is probable that liz.
tie save business M ,rely formal viii be
transacted. No measure that requires
much discussion. or would be likely 10
give rise to much diversity OF opinion.
viii be introduced.
To-day the Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Ways and Means. Mr. VuNroN,
made successful effort to get up the Ma.
val Appropriation bin. in opposition to tho
private calendar. The latter has con.
sumcd about one-third Of the session 30
far. and members begin to think that
measures in which the people Of the
whole country are entcrcsted should re-
ccive at least equal consideration with
matters of limited individual chasacter.-
Every man feels an interest in general
appropriation bill-but one in thousa and
prefers private claim 10 Congress.
Still Mr.. NiNroN's success was but spe.
cious. 1t had no sensible fruits: Enr the
House had no sooner resolved itself into
Committee of the Whole. than Mr.. BRoD.
HEAD of Penn, took the floor on the Sla-
rcry question. What Slavery had to do
with an appropriation bill. the n,c".bcr
from Pennsylvania did not undertake to
inform the House. lie thought. perhaps.
he was periorming a more grateful duty BY
; giving his opinions on a subject SO oppo-
site. In one case the House might feel
il proper 10 listen, in the other no such
hypocrisy was necessary; the speech.
es of the Dough.faccs arc not 10 the
House.
| To those who arc ever complaining that
the Introduction Of the ..pestiierous ques.
ton of Slavery" come from the Anti-Sia-
very men, and clogs all public business,
II may be matter for observation. md
perhaps for contrition, that in this debate
at least all speech has been inonopoiizcd
by Southern or Pro Slavery men.
Mr., RHErT consumed the first day on
the subject. Mr.. BsopHE spoke an hour
to-day. and was followed by Gov BgowN
of Miss. The latter. il is true, spoke well;
and the better, inasmucll. as unlike manv
of his way Of thinking. he never borrs
the House. llc is gen,lemaniy alike in
manner and character, aid seeks to of.
fend none.
Still it cannot but be noticed, whence
the interruption To public business pro.
ceeds. The Wings have urged OH n.
ways this session. the maturing Of the
Appropriation bills. With generosity
: never instituted by their opponents, aud
and probably never destined 10 be irnita.
ted. they have endcavored. in all honesty
Of purpose. to make gooI the contracts ol
this Administration, aud to rescue It's ex-
pirng credit from complete prosfration -
In this, they have been met either with oh.
st,natc opposition, or 1t the best. luke.
!. warm aid from the party Of the Admins.
tration. The party seeks rather 10 in.
, flame public opinion out Of doors against
their opponents by feigned or false issues,
than to attend to their own proper duties
indoors.
