Thsnext Congress, which conyenes on Non
day week, will, from the Importance ef the
questions which will be brought before iti be
session Of great interest to the people through
out the country. Not for many years. have 50
many and such vital measures awaited the action
of a Congress, as are now awaiting the coming
session. And to dispose Of them properly and
satisfactorily, win require wisdom, Judgment and
concession on the part OF members. Tie fnan-
cial troubles Of the country, the rebellion in
Utah, Central Americrn affairs, the admission
into she Union of three flew States-Minnesota,
Oregon and Kansas, and the organization Of Sew
eral new territories, will all be fruitful themes
of discussion and legislation. The Democracy
have clean majority in both branches, and
upon them will rest the responsibility OF the
laws which may be passed. Let them be care
ful that they misuse it not, lest they be visited
with the disapprohation Of the American peo-
pie. That the Democratic members will be al
lowed to pass Democratic measures, without a
bitter and violent opposition from their roliti-
cal opponents, IS not to be expected. The Re-
publicans of the North ami the Americans Of
the South, will unite in their endeavors to cre
ate dissatisfaction and dissensions IN the ranks
of the now victorious Democracy. They will
spare no effort to inhsme sectional predjudccs
on the slavery question, and, if possible, create
breach in our party, as in 1854, by which
means only they can hope to secure future po-
litical triumphs. so long as our members re-
main united;--so long as they faithfully and
honestly legislate for the benefit Of all sections
of the country;-so longas they remain true to
the principles of the Democratic creed, just SO
| long will the Democratic party remain in the
ascendant and the country go on prospering and
to prosper. They must do Ms-the people ex-
pect it of them, and will not tamely submit to
disappointment.
Members are now daily arriving, and the city
is rapidly filling up with strangers. AS to the
organization Of the next House, l still think
| Hon. James L. Orr, of S. c., will be elected
| Speaker, and Hon. James G. Allen, of Illinois,
Clerk. There is rumor current here that the
Democratic members from New York, have u
unanimously resolved to support these gentle
men, in caucus. 1t would be we'll if the Dem
ocratic members OF your State were also to cast
their votes unanimously as it will tend to give
them more influence, than they would other
wise enjoy. A. j. Glosbenner, of Pa, is also
up for reelection as Sergeant-at-Arms. AS
yet, have heard of no serious opposition to
hi For Post Master of the House, there are
some three or four candidates, and for Door
Keeper, some thirty. Among the latter is J.
| P. Santmeyer, of Columbus, Ohio. There are
so many, that it is impossible to mako even
guess gs to who will win.
On Monday last, most disgraceful scene oc.
curfed at the White House. 1t appears that
claim agent from Mobile, as | am informed, OBJ
tanned an audience with President Buchanan,
and duriug the course Of conversation, became
Hoffended, and used most dsrespectfiil and in
sultng langdage towards tho Chief Magistrate.
When the President requested him to leave the
room he refused, upon which Attorney General
Black who was present, stepped up, and took
the blackguard, for only blaekguard would
stoop so loves TO insult the President of the
United States-by the collar of his coat and led
| him out of the room Let the American peo-
pie place the man where he belongs in thir es-
timation.
Hon. II. j. Walker reached this city couple
of days ago. That the Administration will
sustain his course as Governor ofKansas, have
no doubt, Notwithstanding the violent hostility
manifested toward him in some Southern States
by fire-eatng politicians | think the Senate will
promptly confirm the appointment.
\ Scarcely day passes that our city is not dis
graced with rioting and lawlessness. In this
respect we are fast following in the footsteps of
our sister city Baltimore. Neither life nor prop
erty are longer safe from the attacks Of the
gangs Of rowdies who infest the Federal Me-
tropolis b.
