seomen,s Friend Society.

The Trustees of the Seamen's Friends Society re-
quest US to state that, having purchased a building
and lot for the of 81 500, they are engaged
in pushing forward the repairs and alterations
cessary to adapt for the purposes for which it is
tended. To meet the expenses of such repairs and
alterations, also to make up the amount of the
purchase money, additional funds will be required
1t is their wish, at the earliest possible moment, to
carry into practical operation the objects of the as
ISOLATION and in order to enable them to do so the
cooperation of all citizens is earnestly solicited
With this view, all who have not already contribu
ted will shortly be waited upon. when it is hoped
that none will withhold their mite according tc
their ability, whatever that may be.

The n1eetlmg of Congress.

The first session of the thirty third Congress of
the United States will convene at Washington on
the first Mondayin next month, and 1t is probable
that its organization will be sufficiently perfected to
allow the message and accompanying documents to
be sent in on Tuesday. These accompanying
documents include the reports of all the depart
ments from which reports are received, except the
report of the Secretary of the Treasury, which is
made directly to Congress, and not through the
President With the immense Democratic prepon-
derance, no difficulty, presume, will be experien-
ced in the election of officers since it is not proba
bic there will be more than one set of candidates
The strength or weakness of the Administration
its power to grappe with the issues arising out OF
the progress and position of the country, or its tall
ure to do so satisfactorily all these will meet their
solution during the coming Congress-at least, so
far as their immediate effects concerned. Ulti-
mate consequences, the more distant future alone
can fully reveal But for the present, it is sufficient
to remark, that all the indications point to state
of things very different from that desiredIand hoped
for by the disorganizers and the GROWERS, generally
speaking They point to generous and liberal sup
port of the Administration and harmonious action
of the Democratic party They point to such re-
concentrations on the subj ects of our foreign and
domestic policy as will be assented to by the judg-
men as we'll as responded to by the feelings of the
| American people The members of the House OF
/ Representatives come fresh from the people that
elected the President Pierce from that people who
so recently sustained him by the results of the cleo
lions in Pennsylvania. Ohio and Georgia-from that
people who know not and not for the squabbles
of Tom, Dick and Harry, for interest or ambition
and that solely.
But in that Congress- aCe have interests to look to-
and Representative to press them. 1t is our duty
less to embarrass him by advice, than to strengthen
his hands by accurate statistics of trade and
necessities-of our harbor and its natural impor-
lance as harbor of refuge and otherwise, which
mercantile men can more fully understand and ex-
plain than those possessing less intimate knowledge
We must have waller. 1t is question of overshad-
owing, if not of vital Importance to US. Our own
people have gone into the matter with their own
means-they have earned right to call upon Gov
eminent to help. They have been trying to help
themselves.

The PROPOSED GREAT CONGRESS OF SNARIERs-
great deal of concern Is manifested by certain
disappointed great and little ones about the state OF
Democracy and one of them proposes grand dem
onstration to take place in Washington city nat
demonstration would be pitiabe sight indeed. A
ccnvocation of all the men in our Union who have
demurred to Democracy, just because they happen
ed not to receive it's honors or its rewards con-
vocation of bad hearts. depicting their selhshness
and disappointment in long faces. A general as,
sembly of all the soured, mortified, dIscontented
malcontents met to resolve that their only purpose
in belonging to the party was to reap the lions
share of the spoils.
Not every one that applied for Offices and failed to
get them would attend, nor be represented IN that
cataleptic Congress The greater portion OF appll-
cants are candid, sincere, respectable honorable
members of the party, and are satisfied with the Sc
lections made although the choice fell not them
And it is a credit to the Democracy of the Union
to say that only those would be present who purify
the party by leaving, who on y exat the party by
abusing it, and who cannot disturb the equinimity
of the pure members of it by anything they can say
or do Their most formidable antagonism now would
be silence and resignation to the fate they deplOre
so loudly; but such men never wise enough to
resort to such udcious modes of attack and redress
They further illustrate those precedents in history
which teach that when folly has woven the net for
it's destruction, it never leaves slipknot in the
meshes by which it can get out.
We should like for a convention of these men to
assemble at Washington. The face of each would
form beautiful study for Cruikshank or barley,
and be first rate orig inals for the comic amanacs.

AMERICAN STATE PApERs.-The London News
pays the following handsome compliment to Amer
lean statesmanship
From the time of Alexander Hamilton to that of
Edward Everett the reports and correspondence
out by Congressional committees and heads of e.
partments have been of such singular merit as to fix
the attention of society in Europe, wherever the
English language is famiiarly read. The wonder
is less, to persons familiar with the structure and
workings of the American government than to those
who know only European ways The statesmen at
Washington are usually educated gentlemen and
men of business at once-usually professional men,
who yet have had occasion, in the course of their
lives, to do with their own hands much of the real
business of life; and there is nothing like that sort
of experience. when combined with liberal educa-
ton. for enabling men to take and express sound
and clear views of political subjects. Webster used
to say that he did his business all the better for hav
ing taken his fathers horse water before he went
to College; and Clay boosted of his manual tolls as
one OF the chief preparations of his craftsmanship
Chosen from among the people, the officers of Gov
eminent know how to address the popular mind
and the popular mind in America, when dispassion-
ate, is d mind Of high order.

The BRITISH PRovINcEs.-A recent number of the
London Spectator contains article confrmatory of
the report, which we copied few days since from a
province paper, TO the effect that a governmental
union of all the provinces of British America is 10
take place soon. The Spectator says
An inmation has been thrown out that the re-
turn of Lord Egin to this county, whether he
his government IN Canada or moi. is likely TO lead 10
important modification of the British provinces in
North America that the union having proved 50
successful between the two provinces of Canada it is
TO be extended by union of all the provnces-not a
federative, Blu! legislative union The idea was
distinctly developed in Lord Durham's famous report
1t was advocated long ago by Mr. Roebuck it i:
popular among many of the more intelligent colo
nlsls, and is likely enough TO have certain convent
ences in practice. So much, however, would depend
upon the nature Of the union that we must see tn,
plan before we can pronounce it desirable or other
wse.'

As the Herald continues to endeavor to drag it's
proprietor Out of the Office seeking dilemma in which
W. placed him by our original announcement of the
fact that he, too aspirant to the French mis-
sion, may we'll put stop to its efforts to that
end, by informing the public. that though no one
connected with the Government can be induced to
open his lips the subject, we have satisfied our
self frcn other that there is now on the files
of tine State Department, a formal application for
that same mission to France, in his behalf.
When we first published the fact that he had as
pired to the position, not aware that his
instruments had gone further than to advocate his
claims verbally But we now know of the existence
of written proof of the fact which we shall take
due care to get before the country shortly after
Congress meets. through some call " for papers
which shall make it the duty of the President or
Secretary of State spread it before the country.
We shall do this only by way of opening the eyes
of the country to the necessity for such reform in
its political affairs, will teach the many indepen-

ing to the world in black and white that affairs
have already to ebb so low to justify such
gentleman Mr.. James Gordon Bennett in set

of this act would be amusing, but for the fact that
it conveys lesson of the rapid tendency of Amer

Since the return Of James Bennett from Europe,
the Herald has been unusually ferce-madly and
suicidally so. The spas of Baden-Baden have given
a spas modic energy to the hatred of the man he
seems to have lost the cunning instincts of the
Scotchman. and will sacrifice his interests to
forward his revenge. His paper is losing the only
character it ever had-that namely, of good news
paper the Daily Times has entered into rivalry
with it in this in other particulars, and is sngu
larly successful Of late the Herald has published
some unwarrantable libels on Mr.. Hiram Ketchum,
who had been selected by the New York bar to pro-
nounce the public enlogy upon the late Chancellor
Jones. At first we could not understand what mo-
tive actuated the Iibels, but we now fnd and it
proves what retentye memory some may have
in particular direction that upwards of eleven

in an action of libel against the proprietor of the
