Congress commences its session on the first
Monday of december, "a week from Monday
next) The last session having settled all the
conflicting questions of slavery, and clinched its
peace efforts by passing the fugitive slave bill, of
course we shall hear nothing more about slavery.
There was once King, Canute we believe, who
commanded the waves to recede and not dare to
kiss his royal feet He has been generally reck-
oned as s'some, in the way of assumption; but
these sagacious gentlemen who last winter com.
manded the tides of the popular heart TO roll no
more for freedom, and right, and justice, were a
little ahead of this Royal worthy in the matter of
assurance. 1t would be amusing, if it were not
pitiable to see grave men compromising these
great questions, involving the eternal principles
of right, and expecting thereby to hush the pop
ular voice and still the popular pulse. Does the
human mind get its lessons of truth, of right, of
human freedom, from statute books? Is the
human soul creature of Legislation Do the
people know nothing, see nothing, OF dare moth
ing, except it be thus enacted. There is a pow
er behind the throne greater than the throne it.
self; the power that gives birth to the govern
ment; and that power is the populace. The
creator, it strikes us, is notch above the crea-
ted, and we expect to see these peace measures
overhauled by this ultimate power, and righteous
measures demanded in their stead. We may
look then for continued agitation as long as a
wrong remains to be adjusted, so that the coming
Congress will not be without interest, nor, prob
ably, will many to come.

of the Odd Fellows of this city, for the establish
ment of public Library. The sum of four or
FIVE hundred dollars was appropriated to this OBJ
ject month or two since; and we are gratified
to observe, that the larger portion of the books
ordered, has arrived. In few days the balance
will be on hand and the library be opened. The
selection, so far as we have observed, IS an ex-
cellent one; and the library will unquestionably
in respect to the character of the books it con-
tains, be most valuable. The number of volumes
will doubtless be greatly increased by donations
on the part of our citizens. Several liberal do
nations have already been made, and the prospect
is that the enterprise will soon be established on
basis of permanency and usefulness.

BANKS OR NO BANKS.

There will probably be an effort made the coming
winter to submit the question of Banks to the peo-
pie. We can see no objection to submitting this
question. That causei in the constitution undoubt-
eddy contemplated its submission, and no good de-
mccrat ought to object to allowing the people to
express their voice in the matter. If the people
want Banks let them have them, if they do not they
will say and there will be end of the matter.
We are not friendly to Banks and would not ad-
wise their establishment for we look upon them as
injurious under any and all circumstances to the
interests of the masses of the people, There is no
country in the world that has them, but in it we
find the rich growing richer and the poor poorer.
Their inevitable effect is concentrate the wealth
of the country in a few hands and make the masses
dependant
But we are not prescribe conditions for others;
therefore, say, the people want Banks think
they do. let them have them.
MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION. whig-
gerry has met with an overthrow in this Gibral-
ter of Whiggery. They have failed 10 re-elect
Briggs governor by the popular voice, and are in
minority in the Senate, with very fair pros
pect of being in the same category in the lower
House. The Senate chooses the Governor from
two candidates sent up from the House, so the
probabilities are, Mr.. Briggs will not be chosen.
Should the democrats get the governor, the u.
5. Senator from that state, to take Winthrop's
place, will probably be free soiler.
The giant of the north who has slumbered so
