I,d,isry IN Congyass--C C0n7rataiation for the
Peopie-tteir I,,fiacnce-the fear Of their P06-
&c Scrrants-A Correspondence DoiaJs ia tho
Hoase-Nee Years day.
Tho industry Of Senators and Representa-.
tives during last week certainly indicates a re-
turn Of nationality and much surprises all who
are acquainted with their customs, particular
ly about the holidays Instead of the usual adj
journment, for the commemoration Of New
Years day from Monday till Thursday, and
from Thursday until Monday again, only two
days were allotted 10 the celebration OF the first
day Of this year by either House of Congress.
Let the people congratulate themselves upon
the happy influence they exert over their pub.
lie servants in this city. The Representatives
in both Houses feel that the ever watchiul eye
Of their constituents is upon them, and have
sort Of nervous dread of the censure of those
newspapers which vindcatc the principles OF
propriety, sobricty and LIBERTY; to weaken the
power OF which, 80 much anxiety Is frequently
manifested, by attaching such epithcis as incen-
diary, faiatical, &c.
Notwithstanding the combined efforts Of
Northern dough. faces and Southern bruggarts
to bring into dsrcpute the character Of this por
ton Of the press, it had sufficient influence over
the former class to compel sufficient number
OF thom to vote with the fanatics, (who always
oppose long adjournmcnts,) to deprive southern
chirairy OF that accession of spirits which is
usual on similar occasions.

or fear God nor regard man, as general thing,
yet 1t appears that "a love TO occupy honorable
/ position, or something else, drives them some-
times to sacrifice their personal inelinations to
the demands oil their masters.
A spirited and interesting correspondence,
Charge dc AlIairs and the Secretary OF State, was
laid before the Senate on Monday, S0th ut.--
In this correspondence the Austrian Charge
complains OF The imrudcEcc OF the American
government in sending an agent to Hungary To
watch pnd spy up IN the actions OF the Austrian
nation.
Mr. Webster replied, at considerable length,
to the com laints OF tho Austrian Chat,c Gar.

New Ycar's invited all who would to call on
the Chief Magistrate of this great nation, and
threw open the houses of the members Of his
Cabinet and of many private citizens. where
Intoxicating hospitalities were dispensed with
godiikc generosity. Among the hospitahlc hosts
whose liquids were spoken of-none were prais-
cd with more enthusiasm than those provided
by the godlikc, and perhaps there were none, on
that occasion, more merry than he.
1t is to be hoped that tho time is at hand
when our most distinguished men will not be
our most unexcmplary and most degraded.
