Gas the session Of Congress draws to q
slose, the two Houses are kept constantly
busy. After working all day, the House Of
Representatives has, for several days past,
taken recess until evening for the purpose
ofgeneral discussion. We believe that these
discussions will tend to enlighten the coun-
try ION the monstfosities of the new Secret
Order. 1t is we'll that there should be q
Stir in Congress on that subject"
The above from the "WAsHINGToN SEN
TrNEL," indicates glorious state Of things
TO be sure "H is lceH that tacre should be
a stir in Congress !" The people need to
be enlightened by their servants Here are
men chosen to legislate, neglecting and sac
rifcing the pressing and vital interests of
the country, at the close of tie short session,
in order to manufacture public sentiment
men who obtain the confidence and favor of
the people by fattering their wisdom, and
virtue, and capacity to govern, and then set
themselves up as their instructors and guides
aye, as their detamers. The more imme-
date obje:t of these discussions, it is inti-
mated, is to furnish staple for the Virginia
elections. We shall doubtless have the
stste-and this District particularly-food-
ed with the speeches Of the assailants of the
"Secret Order" to prove its utilization with
Aboltionism. This is TIE last plank for the
drowning demagogues. So, look out Cor the
Documents We should hail the triumph
Of the American Party all over tie country,
II for TO other reason, that il will teach these
Wise men in Congress, that the time has
come, when the people mean to resent and
chastise the impertiuence of public men in
lecturiug them upon their opinion, and their
conduct.
