THE REUNION OF CONGRESS.

On Monday week will be opened, at the Capitol
in this city the Second Session of the Thirty second
Congress, the term Of which is limited by the Con-
stitution to the Sd day of March next So that the
Session will not exceed three months in DURATION
but will even fall short of that time by day or two
The shortness of the Session will necessarily make
it an active and busy one 1t may be hoped that
it will be useful one. There are none Of the OBJ
staces in the way of the transaction of business
which embarrassed the last Session. The question
Of The Presidency is put to rest for four years at
least; and the other great stumbling block, the
question Of the Congress Printing, being now re-
placed upon reputable footing, will probably be
allowed to remain so, at least until the next Con-
gress The new Members of both Houses, schooled
in the experience of the late nine months session,
will be much better prepared than before to dis
charge their proper duties with satisfaction q them
selves and advantage to their constituents These
are among the considerations which induce us to
expect, upon the whole, quiet and harmonious
Session.
In anticipation of the approaching Session, some
of the Members Of Congress are already on the
ground We have heard of the presence in this city
of the gentlemen whose names are subjoined, viz:
SENATOR'S DOUGLAS and SHIELDS, of
Illinois PRATT, of Maryland; BRoDHEAD, of Penn
syvania; BRIGHT, of Indiana and WELLER, Of
California.
REPRESENTATIVES, Messrs. STANLY, of North
Carolina; CHAPMAN, of Connecticut: AsHE, of
North Carolina STANTON, of Kentucky BRowN,
of Mississippi; JOHNSON, of Tennessee; DISNEY
and OLDs, Of Ohio; GooDENow, of Maine and Nc
MULLEN, of Virginia
Others have doubtless reached the city of whose
arrival we have not heard

We were informed on Monday night last, by the
Telegraph, of the death of another distinguished

yesterday morning, at his residence in Pittsburgh
in the Goth year of his age. He was for many years
Representative in Congress from the Allegheny dis
trict of Pennsylvania Secretary of the Treasury
during Mr.. Tylers Administration; was subse-
quently Minister Of the United States to Denmark

1t is worthy of note (says the Richmond Whig)
that the principles evolved in Mr.. WEBsTER's cele-
brated speech in the Senate, in reply to Mr. HAYNE,
of South Carolina, are from year to year taking a
frmer hold of the public regard. This fact was dis
closed in the struggle which resulted in the passage
of the acts known as the Compromise measures
and the Washington correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce now points to more recent
manifestation of the potency of the maxim that
" great is the power of truth" He says:
"Among the many tributes to Mr.. wEBsTER's memory,
Of the just and striking the speech of exsena
tor RHErr of Charleston the meeting there called by
the city authorities Mr. Rhett says that the greatest
work of Mr. Webster his argument in the Senate in
reply to Mr. Hayne the principles of the Constitution
Mr. Rhett adds that in his conscientious belief the prn
cpes then laid down by Mr. w. will forever direct and
control the action of this Federal Government This
perfectly true, and is admitted as truth even by the
remnantof those who in 1880 and since have held
sttutonal doctrines opposite to those of Mr. Webster
How great was that achievement Of Mr.. Webster's
only be made real to those who acquainted with the
the constitutional heresies that then extensively pre-
vailed both at the South and the West. The Southern
statesmen deeply imbued with those principles
which, carried into practice would have reduced the Uno
to condition infinitely than that of the old Con
federation Gen. Jackson hestated and compmented Mr.
Haynes speech; but two years afterwards found
it necessary to act upon the principle Of Mr. Webster
argument, and to issue the famous proclamation"
