!. DEAR DEMOCRAT:
Having &c out-walxed" my friend NJ, (whom
left in Baltimore and taken the ''early train, :"
as Beau Hickman would say. Ireached this City
yesterday morning, and have "rung in" at the
National After slight ablution of phiz and
digits. and donning nenO harness, an indispensa-
Bile requisite for a youthful debutant, on the
avenue" wended my way to the Capitol,
to witness the closing scene of the late session
Of Congress 1t seems that the two houses, fin
ding 1t impossible to perfect the bills. which
had been already passed on the 4th, determined
to extend the session until 81 o'clock, A. M, OF
the 9TH, with the understanding that no new bo-
siness shGhald be entertained. On SATURDAY. the
ring was open for free fight upon every thing
in general and nothing in particular, winch, tho
amusing in itself, was not calculated to inspire
much respect for the assembled wisdom Of the
nation. This turmoil and confusion, resem-
bled rather the deliberations of a disorder
ly town meeting than those OF the most enlight-
ened body in the world. Our representative.
Mr.. Barksdale was drawn into the debate, and
humorously and appropriately rebuked Mr..
Richardson for his expressed disposition to aid
and abet Mr. Campbell. u Ohio, in some pecu-
liar internal improvement views which the lat
ter gentleman entertained he said he had
heard of the fusion of Abolitionist, free soiler
and wing, but the country would be unprepared
for the announcement of a fusion of such dis
corlaut elements as the afiliation of the two
gentlemen would imply. He proceeded in this
way and addressed the house some minutes In
an interesting manner. when he was interrupted
by dozen voices. some moving an adjournment
and others asking permission 70 print their spec
