The stock market is by no means in satisfactory
condition, and the future far from encouraging The
movements Of Congress will be highly interesting
and, We have no doubt, highly exciting and alarming
The slavery question will be agated this session to az
extent never before realized and the effect upon the
public mind OF this country and Of Europe will be of
nature calculated to depreeae the market value al
our public securities particularly those Of the general
government. We have idea tina. this question will
be permanently settled during the present session Of
Congress; but there will be movements made that will
place the matter before the country in clearer light
give better insight into &C. and enable US to antc
pate more definitely the probable termination of the
struggle which has been going on so long between the
extreme sections Of the Union That Is Just what all
parties want and the the issue IL raised the
better for every interest Of the country. We have
lodged and eyadsd the question long enough and the
presentation Of the constitution of California will bring
the matter up in proper and legitimate manner and
force result. VIVA. that result will be- no man car

frequently not fer several months after that time II
would be some satisfaction 20 have the lower house
organised that the Presidents message and the va.
rious reports could be distributed among the people
but that would be about all should gain But for
that II would be little loss II the House was not
organized until the opening Of the short session.
