CONGRESS.

The next session of Congress bids fair to
be the stormiest which has ever taken place
since the foundation of the government. The
best friends of the country look forward to
it with feelings Of apprehension, little short
of dismay. 1t is feared that the sectional
conflict which will rage within the capitol,
will drive reason and patriotism from the
minds of the beligerents. We shall be
equally disappointed if the contest is confined
to war of tongues, and does not take the
shape Of rough and tumble fight, with re-
volvers and bowie knives, in the very halls
OF legislation. So far as the brawls of Con.
gress can disgrace the country and dissolve
the Union, the work viii be thoroughly done
If we may judge from the menacing and bel
hEerent temper Of the free soil journals.
1t is to be hoped that the representatives
ofths South will 20 to Washington with q
resolute purpose to abstain from the strife of
words, to which they viii be invited, and
confine themselves to firm, united and har
monious action. Let there be no unseemly
threats, no prstsxt given to those who so
much desire II, for fastening the responsible
y Of disastrous consequences upon Southern
shoulders. Let them resolve not to yield an
inch. but to leave talking and gasconade to
their enemies. None of the aggressive mea
surss proposed BY the Free Soil party, can

apparently authentic, of farmer contented
with his crop. The Cincinnati Commercial
of last Monday, after stating that friend
who has recently returned from a tour
through Northern and Southern Illinois, con-
firms all the previous accounts of the vast
grain crops now on the ground and being
gathered in that country, adds the following
Between st Louis and Vincennes great al of

machinery to secure it. Our informant hailed one

though half dozen plethoric stacks stood guard
