MEETING OF CONGRESS.

The first session of the thirty.third Congress
commenced yesterday.
Our congressional columns furnish an ac-
count of the proceedings in the two branches,
The House was the preferred scene of in
terest owing to the election of its officers.
The galleries were crowded with anxious spec
tators both ladies and gentlemen and the lob
bies thronged with ex-members and others
who have the privilege of the floor.
All the former officers were continued III
their paces-the speaker and the clerk elected
by cira roce vote, and the doorkeeper, the
sergeant-at-arms, and the postmaster, appointed
by resolution, to save time. Those gentlemen
were the nominees of the democratic caucus
held ON Saturday night.
A committee was appointed by the House to
act in conjunction with one to be appointed by
the Senate, to wait upon the President of the
United States and inform him that the two
branches have organized, and are ready to re-
ceive any communication which he may be
pleased to make. .-.
We may therefore expect that the President
will communicate his annual message to-day;
and OF course we shall lay it before our readers
tomorrow. S..

have had sufficient strength to have reflected
the least credit upon our victory.
There is very little doubt that, if we had been
disturbed by no foreign interference, the de-
mocraey would even now have trumphed over
both wings and freesoilers.
In the next contest the democratic party can
not be clogged by the present State admins
tration, but will be freed from the reproach of
broken pledges and violated principles.

Letter from Rufus W. Peckham.

ALBANY, Noc, Il, 1858.
GENTLEMEN: Your courteous invitation to ad-
dress congratulatory mass meeting of the ma
tional democracy in your city, OH the 23d inst,
is received. ] very much regret that profes-
sional engagements will not allow me to
attend.
But do most cordially unite with you in
congratulating the democracy upon their re-
cent glorious triumph in this State-a triumph
unprecedented in our political history, 1t pre-,
sents spectacle worthy Of the admiration Of
patriots everywhere,
Judge Bronson had the temerity TO be man,
and would not consent to be sert, For this
he was first insulted by Secretary Guthrie, and
then removed from Office What spirit that
conductaroused Scorning the denunciations of
power and the attractions of office, one hundred
thousand democratic freemen stepped boldly
forward and rebuked this high-handed tyranny.
They have exhibited as healthy hatred of
kingly despotism as ever was shown by the men
of CIR unveils time,
1t Is not the mere fact that we have outvoted
our boasting opponents that is matter of graf
ulation. 1t is the spirit of manly independence
that this contest has evoked, that cannot fail
to challenge the unqualified admiration of all.
That high spirit Of '76 that stopped not to count
the cost on question of personal freedom on
one side, and political servitude on the other
1t must be admitted that we were met by the
most unpropitious circumstances. 1t was said
that we we're boilers and entirely irregular
Perhaps there was question as to our regula-
nty; But we were certainly in earnest. ltwas
SAID that we would lose many thousand votes
by vituperative speech of one of our candi-
dates Perhaps we did lose fifteen or twenty
thousand votes by that speech.
But how extremely fortunate for the freesoil-
ers that there was aquestion as to our regula
rrlty, ana that that bitter speech was deliyeredl
bow fortunate too that they we're countenanced
and sustained by both administrations, at
Washington and at Albany. Had not all these
united IN their aid, our opponents would not

people shall go to line the pockets of men who
huckster for their dearest feelings? Farmers
of Indiana, mechanics, honest men of all pro
tessions, are you willing to pay rogues to be
honest? Will you not say with us that the ma
tional democrats were right in putting their feet
on the neck of the freesoil dragon? Will you
not say, you who love the Union, that you have
had enough of agitation, that the compromise
is finality, that it is not, in the words of John
Van Buren, only ITO remain undisturbed du-
ring the administration of President Pierce -
but always and forever? Will you not say that
you do not pay taxes to support traitors and hy-
pocrites? But we need not ask these ques-
tons! We know that this conservative, Union
loving, democratic State Of Indiana will stand
by Dickinson, Cass, the Constitution, and the
compromise, and the true interests Of Frank
Pierce's administration.

We publish below the two following letters
read before the recent meeting Of the national
democrats, held at Metropolitan Hall, in the
city of New York.
The cause of our having omitted to publish
that meeting was, that they were not in the
paper from which we copied the proceedings
of that great gathering of the democracy.
They are from the pens of two very distin-
guished gentlemen.
Mr.. Mather was the late able and popular
candidate of the New York national democrats
for canal commissioner.
Hon. Rufus w. Peckham is a distinguished
member of Congress from the same State.

the existing circumstances, in both instances.

labor in the field of politics, yet would we often
fan turn to the cultivation of the partere The
heart of the sweet poet.ploughman relented when
he saw the
"Wee, modest crmsontipped flower"
crushed beneath his relentless share, and we blush
for the feelings of the politician who is so immers-
ed in his pursuit TO be unmoved by the sweet
eflusions Of the poets heart.
With these views, and with heart still aliye TO
the beauties of poesy, we tender TO Mr. Thomas
Bibb Bradley sincere thanks for the sweet bou-
quet OF rhymes which he has presented to us,
and we look with much interest to his forthcoming
volume of poems, which will, doubtless, reflect
credit alike on their author and on the State of his
BIRTH For our own part, we are inclined to think
that America has lost many brilliant bard, and
gained in their stead several Indifferent statesmen,
by the fatal procvity of her sons TO dedicate their
lives to her service. If Mr.. Bradley's Apheila
could induce more Of the youth of our country to
turn their eyes from the alluring heights of poti-
cal ambition, he would forfeit his name as I" de-
stroyer," and remove the shadow which he is said
TO "cast over things fair and beautiful
We look upon this little poem, "Apheila," as
gem in its way, and destined 10 give high repn-
taton to its author. There are, il is true, some
few faults, both of style and thought in the poem,
but the general impression created by its perusal
has been OF most pleasing character. 1t is an
ungrateful task, when impressed with the beauty
Of any object, TO dissect and anayze its every ea-
ture, and subject it to the crucibe of cold, un-
feeling criticism; but we feel il our duty TO point
out some of the prominent defects in the poem be.
fore us, which may be easily avoided hereafter by
its gifted author.
1t is unfortunate, for Mr.. Bradley, that he has
selected the anomalous measure suggested by the
brilliant author of the Raven. BY bringing afresh
before the mind that wonderful production, we
are prepared 10 see slight resemblances, which
might otherwise have been passed pnnotced. Al
though we would not charge our author with will
fal and direct plagiarism, il is impossible not to be
struck, in many places, with strange similarity
in structure, in figure, and in language to his
great model, than exactly comports with high
claim to originality AS an example, we may re-
fer to the quaint repetition of the same sentiment
with slight variation in language thereby tick,
ling the ear at the expense the chas,eness and
beauty OF The thought In the Raven we are told
that

in the raven-haunted chamber the eforlorn and
weary" student; and, 10 our mind, old Apheila
himself does not materially differ from the stately
and ominous bird which came from the Nights
Plutonian Shore" TO cast its shadow on the poets
heart.
Iaere is another fault in this beautiful poem
which we would gladly see corrected, not only in
Mr., Bradley, but in many of his contemporaries
If he plead the example of other poets, to justify
him in its commission, we can only answer, that if
it be custom, il is, 10 our mind, far more honored
in the breach than in the observance. We refer
any who has read the poem, will easily lore
see, TO his great pracivity 10 the use of inverted
sentences. Ever since we We're whpt at school
fornot knowing howt take in," as the boys term
ed il we have congratulated ourselves that tho Eng,
lish language was comparatively free from those
stumbling blocks to the Juvenile students Of svntax
tits true that Mton's Heavenly muse five lines
below :" Mans first disobedience," which il is de-
signed to govern-but besides that, tho pious bard
may have had a good motive for the separations
we may allow to the genius of Milton MANY lber-
ties which must be denied TO the lesser lights of
the armament Of letters. The spot, which oan
scarcely be disoerned upon the disk of the sun
would completely obscure the radiance Of a star
We have no desire 10 judge too harshly when we
appeal TO Mr.. Bradley to know what justification
he can plead for the following line:
Though the portals goden Of the temple vast and
oden." ~ "'N
We are aware that the muse capnot be expected
always TO "trip very lightly, when her feet are
confined with the chains of rhyme but allowing
for all disadvantages has she not made an awk-

rhythmical alliance with olden" the necessity for
which alliance we are willing 10 admit might not

Another and perhaps a more striking example
Of the fault is TO be found in the last line of
subsequent stanza;

Here il would be matter of speculation whe-
ther the temple foatcd over the echo, or the echo
over the temple, which last constructions we pre-
sumo, was intended by the author.
These, however, are but bemishes which the
author will readily acknowledge, and as readily
correct in his future productions. Nor would we
arraign him before the bar Of a stern criticism

And, as similar violation of good taste, we ex-
tract from Apheila, the following lines:

Now in both the cases which we have cited, the
repetition, though pleasing TO the ear, might well
have been dispensed with, without material injury
10 any one but the printer.
