WHAT IS CoSoREss DOINei-Thers
is something wrong in the manner Of
legislation, or somsthing wrong in
those who have the control ofn.-
Congress has now been in session
nearly i've months, and in ell that
time, it has not even consummated
one act Of legislation, which bears the
impress Of public importance. Sons
dozen acts or so have passed--.oms
resolutions agreed to--and some
scenes enacted in both houses,--but
all were unimporiant, and have pas.
sed from recollection, except, per.
haps, the scenes, which NAV be re.
membersd, though The act ors in
them, OF all things, should desire that
oblivion should be thrown over them.
Congress has done wrong--wrone
in wasting time in idle talking. in an
CRY debate and wrangling. and in
doing nothing. This is an evil from
which the public suffer, and the
shame oil II rests upon this Congress.
The good work to be done by leg
islaiion is ample, and members OF this
Congress have reason therefore to
rejoice that the opportunity Of doing
it, is presented to them. There are
many private bills now before them,
the passage of which would signalize
their session as one Of industry, and
leave record for all time, that right
and justice ruled and controlled them
in their legislation. There are pub
lie measures TOO, pending, which
have already been too long DELAYED.
but which may now be tsken up and
promptly acted upon, that the error
of the delay will be forgotten in the
admiration for the Industry and
Promptness evinced in their final
passage. Bait. Patriot.
