CONGRESS-.
rHrRrY-rHrRD coEcRsss--rIRsr SESSION.
House Of Representatives.

House Of Representatives..
After our report closed yesterday,
The resolution of Mr.. Jones' of Tennessee, to
terminate the debate on the Presidents mes
sage on Thursday, the Goth Of january, was
adopted.
The House then resolved itself into Commit
tee Of the Whole ON the state Of tho Union,
and took up the Invalid Pension Bill.
Mr. Walsh addressed the House ON the sub
ject of "Hardsv and " Soits'' and condemned
the Administration for interfering in local cleo
tions
Mr.. Smith, Of Alabama, asked for full and
satisfactory definition Of what Hardsn and
S0fts0 were
Mr. Walsh replied, that the difference was
that between an honest man and rogue
Mr. Smith thought the qnarres of u single
State should not influence the national parties,
and likened the quarrels to Incidents in Lilli-
put AS described by CULVER.
Mr. Cutting said there was a period very
recent in the history OF this country, when gen.
tlemen from the South did not stop to inquire
who at the North stood by them through good
ropute and through bad, at a time when STORM
swept over the whole North such as had never
been seem who were true to the constitutional
rights of the States and true to themselves as
the South was to itself. Great and long-con-
tinued applause.
Was there any gentleman from any South
ern State who then rose in his place for the
purpose Of reading Gulliver's travels as a lee
ture to the North; for the purpose Of dispar-
aging those men who, under circumstances
that were enough to quail the stoutest heart,
stood by the equal rights of the States and
insisted that the people Of each State and Of
each Territory should do what they themselves
were doing at the North--govern themselves
in their own way, according to their own best
Judgment And now, in this short space of
time, gentlemen from the South had already
forgotten what that party was, and it's princi-
pies, who stood by them and nailed their colors
to the mast at a time when the ship Of State
appeared to be upon the point of sinking
Mr.. c then reviewed in detail and mt some
length the history Of the Hardsn and "Softs, 7
and narrated the leading acts of each branch
which caused their separation.
When the Committee rose, the House ad-
journed, Mr.. Smith, Of Alabama having the
floor.

OPEN RESISTANCE About three thousand
merchants and manufacturers Of Cincinnati
have signed q set Of resolutions, declaring
that they will no. list their properly accord
ing 10 the instructions Of the State Auditor,
and, should the penalty be attached, they
will openly RESIST any attempt 10 collect the
unjust tax. M q'
While we acknowledge the justice Of their
complaints, and the injustice Of the law,
we think they have ucted very injudciously.
We think the Auditor Of Stale has done
nothing more than his duty in respecting
the decision Of the Supreme Court, and that
County officers are bound 10 carry out his
instructions. The fault lies beyond all these
officers. Ii lies al the door Of The sovereign
people. They elected incompetent and bad
men TO make laws for them, and they have
no right 10 expect any thing else than con-
fusion and anarchy, The cause suggests the
remedy. There is but one way to escape the
evils Of bad legislation, and that is-,o eiecl
good and wise men 10 make laws for you,
and honest men TO execute them.

THE CoNsTlTUTIoN OF ONO UUcoNsTlTU-

day is 10 great distress about recen. decs.
ion Of the Supreme Coun Of the United
States, involving the question of Bank TAXA.
ZION, in which the State came out second
brst. The Supreme Court decided that the
Law Of Ohio taxing banks on their indebted
ness is unconstitutional. The Enquirer does
not b,lieve in Supreme Courts; because they
do not always decide to suit his ideas of
Locoloco:sm. Blu! oil joking aside, between
LocoIocoism and the Supreme Courts Of
Ohio and The United States, the Laws Of
our Stale huvo become beautifully "mixed. !"
The Enquirer acknowledges that the party
has been oui.wilod by The Banks. Hear
