The Next Congress.

In three weeks the Congress OF the United
States will assemble at the Capitol, and will
commence one of the most interesting ses-
sons in its history.
The question of Union and Disunion is
settled, and all legislation will have sole ref
erence 10 the future Of our great, powerful,
and prospefous1eppblc.
The old issues have passed away, and new
subjec.s Of legislation will arise. Instead of
the Redistribution Of national bank, or the
creation of sub..reasury system, the laws
relating 10 the revenue will provide in sim
pie terms for its preservation. Instead Of the
enactment of laws for the protection oil tie
arts of manufacture, we shall hear the pro-
position made TO establish an Ag1icuttural, as
the seventh Department of the Government.
Instead OF the consideration of plans for
procuring the greatest amount OF revenue
from the sale of pablo lands, we shall wit
ness the proposition of plans for facilitating
the settlement and improvement of these
lands, wholly irrespective of profit 10 the
Government; and not only this, but the
most astonishing, yet wise and feasible OBJ
iecis will be submitted, for the construction
of highways that will give access to the vast
and fertile domains TO which the axe and
the plough shall be invitel. Instead of tim
idly quibbling about the details of system
or postage that will enable the Government
10 have all its frankins done gratis, a bold
and manly step will be taken IN the peoples
name, and such accommodations granted as
will frighten the Postmaster General almost
into resigning. Instead of quarreling like
fishmongers about the dreadfully exciting
question of negro slavery, and standing at
the North and South poles TO threaten and
menace, we shall behold The true patriots of
the North and South uniting in grand col
onizaiion scheme hat will result in glorious
blessings 10 mankind, but especially 10 A.
merca and Africa--a scheme that will i'll
volve, as minor details, the construction of a
noble line of glorious steamers between our
ports and Africa, and the opening of re-
gion Of that hitherto benighted land, as
beautiful, prolific, and inviting as the rays of
The golden sun ever shone upon. This, in
deed, may prove the crowning act and glory
of the session. We see nit bow of pro.
mise and of hope, and gladly shall we exult
at its growing splendor /!
But the organization of Congress, and the
Presidential canvass 10 be conducted as by
play throughout the session, will excite in
terest of the most intense character in its
history. The first will not prove tedious,
though the aspirants arc numerous and full
of hopeful energy.
In relation TO the Presidency, there is pro-
badly now more certainty than this period Of
an administration has often seen. The men
are at hand in numbers-the parties disuniied
and unstable. The spirit of each party is
alive, but the members of its body are separ-
ate and discordant. Let US observe the laws
by which they are TO unite, the new bond OF
cohesion, the oil that shall heal each lacera
ted fragment-let US hear the voice that shall
command silence and obedience where both
have so long been wished
The coming session will be pleasant,
Joyous, profitable lime and 'THE GREAT
MODEL REPUBLIC; will surely survive all the
dangers of the past-all the Threats that have
been pronounced for the future. 1t is a great
country, this Of ours-very
