ADJoURNEESv OF CoSc REss-Several move
menrs have been recently made in Congress rela-
tive TO an adjournment of that body, but we hope
that no motion OF the kind viii succeed, until At
least, the regulsr appropriations are made, and a
vote be taken the Compromise bill now before
the Senate. In the present state 81 the country,
and Of the sgi,a,ion growing cat Of the slavery
question, it would, in our opinioa be highly impo-
htic to adjourn without taking vote on IL Let a
vote be taken a. soon possible, and Is 1t be found
that the question cannot be settled let Congress
pass the appropriations, and then adjourn soon
as they please When they meet again in Decem-
Der they may be iess wanted than they are now
and, in addition ~ that, they will have opporu
nifty Of seeing and ssonversing with their consttu
ents and ascertsining the state Of public feel
ing on this topic. Members Of both houses have
said all they have had to say the slavery ques-
hon, and their opinions were long since formed as
TO the way in which they would vote. The best
method to adopt, therefore, is to bring the subject
70 test, in some way or other, and II the matter
cannot be settled, Vet them adjourp 10 meet again
at the usual time in December.
