G. G. PonDExTsR:--With yesterday, enaed Tia
first session Of the Thirty-ffth Congress, and the
disperssment Of that body to whose joint aoion On
exciting public questions, the anxiety Of tie con
fsderaoy has been directed for many months. The
concurrent passage through both Houses Of Con-
gress Of the various appropriations for the current
expenses Of The Executive Departments Of the Gov.
eminent, the authority given to the Secretary Of
the Treasury to negotiate loan Of $50 600 0oO, alta
rate Ofinterest BOT exceeding per cent per annum
and limited g G period Of expiration net over 10
years; the authentic intelligence received by the
Presideat Of the bloOdless abdieation Of Brigham
Young, and the complete establishment Of the civil
authority OfGov. Cunning over 'ghe faithful" in
Salt Lake City; the explicit assurance ofehsr Ma
jestys "Home Government" that the late infrae-
tions upOh our gulf commerce by the British men
OfWar we're without its advisement or concurrence,
and that indemnity should be made for the past and
security offered for the future, all eliminated and
contributed to most satisfactory adjournment, and
gave to the separating members an Ostensible guar
entee that the foreign and internal affairs Of our
country will be administered in such manner as to
secure the peace, order, and happiness Of the peO-
pie during the interim Ofheir absence to their homes
and constituency.
This adjournment has closed the most prctracted,
important aud earnest historical contest Witnessed
within the halls Of national legislation, since the
memorable struggle Of 1920, on the Missouri Com-
promise. The passage Of the Lecomp,on COnstitu-
ton, was measure, which during every stage Of
L II and
faetional alienation that threatened 10 subver the
very foundations Of society, and to uprOot every
litioal tie that bound the brotherhood Of States,
whilst the elements of threatened dismemberment
throughout the country have not been clearly de-
mOnstrated in thirty years before. The evidences
Of political destruction were seen and felt every
where by The patriotic people" whose ealmer
Judgment oyereame The partisan heat, and who lock-
ed their shield around the patriotic purposes Of the
President and his constitutional party, and assisted
by their public uttersnees to strengthen and per-
potuate that triumph OF principle which must for
ever and efeoually disaTm the opposition to the
democracy Of the nation.
Having thus ended session more distinctly
marked by bitter feeling than any for long period
of yesrs, the eve Of separation was most prOpi-
tOus fitting and appropriate time for the exchange
of personal and political congratulations the eessa
ton of all accidental arrangements and the Oblite
ration, in spirit of manly fOrbearance, respect,
and consideration, Of al former differences upon
mere sectional questions. We are rejOiced that
this excellent temper vas manifested the adjourn
msnt, for it is an augury Of quiet and a token of
good faith between the two great sections, which
promises long period Of repOse to the people by
the absence Of all angry agtsions
This the Administration Of JAMES BUCHANAN has
passed its first Congressional cycle-having tri-
unphed in the completest manner upon every great
question that bore the party seal The Cabinet
unit upon all important public measures, there has
been frmness, impartiality, and vgOr in its admin
istratiOn Of public affairs, which have commanded
the support Of Congress, while they have strength
ened the faith and power of the Democratic Organi
cation all over the country, and leaves the party TO-
day in better condition to confront all opposition
to its principles than it was at any time before the
Presidential election Of 1856. Prominent among
the distinguished statesmen in Mr.. Buehanan's
cabinet who have contributed to this important re-
suit is your own eminent fellow citizen, the Hon
A. v BROWN, who has widened personal popular
ity already national, achieved an administrative
distinction that few men will ever possess and more
than fulfilled what the whole country had right
to expect from his well known ability. To such
man, the channel Of public honor is fairly open.
