Az the time approaches for the assembling of

They are travelling from point to point, and bring
ing into requiston all their resources of art TACT

of Members Of Congress, who alone have the
power of filing the various Offices attached to each
House, but OF schenrng outsiders, are daily held In
this city, we understand, 10 determine how the
elections shah be conducted, how the Members of
Congress shall be influenced, and what men shall
be chosen Speaker, Clerk, Printer, &C., &c.
ct is no doubt kind and amiable in these gentle
men to take the trouble of these elections off the
shoulders Of Congress- but we are inclined to think
that Congress win not consent to be dictated TO by
any man, or set Of men, whether they be high or
low, rich or poor, good or bad, patriots or dema-
gogues If Congress cannot make choice of it's
own officers, without the officious intermeddng Of
the outsiders, then Congress Is not fit to make
laws for the country. For our part, we prefer
trusting the affairs of the nation TO the elected
Representatives of the people, to confidng them

3 We, too, have heard Of various conferences
Of office-seekers for the purpose of instructing

with the Sentinel in the opinion that econ

man or set of men, whether they be high or

American Order in south Carolina.

The opposition papers, including the Ma
tional Intelligenctr and Union, are endeavor-
ing TO convey the impression that the Ameri-
Gun party of South Carolina had disbanded.
These papers know well that the statement is
wholly incorrect 1t has resolved itself into an
open organization, and thus gotten rid Of the
secret feature, which was so Objectionable to
the opposition. Yet these same papers or a
portion Of them are secretly colleaguing togeth-
er to effect certain purposes before the ensuing
Congress. 1t is well enough to denounce "se.
crecy,' and to represent the American party as
disbanded, but these pseudo mssalists avail
themselves Of the same means when their pc
ctlniary interests are likely to be advanced by it.
