The Session.-The next session Of Congress
is destined to be a very lively one, indeed,
outside of their halls "a we'll as within them.
great many measures Of vital importance
to individuals, which were initiated at the
last session, remain to be disposed Of; those
interested in them having declined to press
them to final issues until after the election,
knowing we'll that their chances for favorable
hearings On all sides would be much better
after the composition Of the next House had
been determined for the most part, than be-
fore that event had taken place: Hundreds
will be here for the session to attend to such
cases Other hundreds will come and 90 un-
der the attraction Of the usual intrigues that
mark the advent Of a new national admins
tration. We care not which party come, into
power, its installation is always preceded by
efforts to influence the composition Of the
new administration, that are participated in
by leading politicians from all quarters; and
by not few whose claim to consideration as
advisers is founded wholly on their own good
opinion OF their own discretion, sagacity and
political Importance.
Just now, as strange as it may appear, the
task Of forming an administration for the in
coming Chief Magistrate, without as much as
" by your leave, Sir" has been undertaken
wholly by persons connected with opposition
newspapers, who are evidently determined
that Mr.. Buchanan shall call no one into
his cabinet if they can prevent it, likely
to counsel measures of state that may per-
chance prove distasteful to their notion Of
the fitness Of things. So far the Demo-
cratic papers are prudently and carefully
abstaining from any such improper inter-
ference, and, we believe, no Democratic pub.
lie man has yentured to give Mr.. b. un5
asked advice on any such subject. This state
of things in the Democratic party is neither
more nor less than proof beyond question tn at
its members one and all have great confidence
in his (Mr. B.'s) wisdom, experience and
knowledge Of the real sentiments of those on
whom be must depend for the support neces
sary to make his administration successful
one-the great body of those who voted for
him North and South, East and West. Though
we care not how many Democrats may flock
hither this winter with the idea that their
presence at this point will enable them to
strengthen the chances for the contamination
OF their own particular views in the formation
OF the cabinet, we trust that the remarkable
manner in which all Of their fellow Democrats
have up to this time RETAINED from obtrudipg
unasked advice on Mr.. Buchanan, will influ-
ence them, on arriving here, to abandon all
such thoughts
But 10 return to our mutton) We shall also
have in Washington this winter much larger
number of legitimate sight,seers and pleasure
seekers than heretofore As at each succeed
ing session the fashion Of a trip to Washington
becomes more widely prevalent. Already 1t
is injecting folks of both sexes pretty much az
they are influenced in the stewing, broiling
and baking months 10 the matter of trips to
