AN ECONOMICAL CONGRESS.

"Ihe session Of Congress which has just ter-
minated is remarkable as having inaugroted a
new era in the history Of our Federal legisla-
ton. The representatives Of the people seem
for ouce 10 have partially lost sight Of their
own interests, and to have looked with watch
full eye to those of their constituents. The
reason of this is plain enough there. was
Democratic majorify in both Houses Of Cong
ress.''
We clip the above characteristic paragraph
from the Gazette of last week We have seen
tall specimens of brazen impudence and false
hood in our day, but we consider the above
article little ahead of anything in modern
times. Economy, forsooth Let US see. This
was the first session of Congress held under
the new law which pays to each momber about
tmo thousand dollars per onnuRl, moro than
under the former law. They adjourned about
ftco months earlier than before for the last ten
years, havtng large amount Of Tie public
business undone, a1sd yet pocketed Their pfoie
gears salwy and mitage. These are the facts,
and this is the evidence on which it is reck-
lessly asserted that "1he representatives of
the people seem for once TO haze partially lost
sight Of thar own Interests very spa,fiaily,'
indeed, Mr.. Meyers.
Again, the flst public act passed by this
great democratic and economical Congress, was
an act authorizing the issue of twenty millions
of paper money, under the name of Treasury
notes, thus running the country 10 debt twenty
millions to start on. Before the session Of
hardly Eve months is over, they pass another
law, authorizing a loan Of fuenfy mtiiions
more, thus pushing the country headjong in
debt forty millions Of dollars, il six months.
Now, it is notorious fact, that there was from
seventeen to twenty millions of dollars surplus
in the Treasury, at the commenc cement of Mr..
Buchanan's term. This has been all spent; all
tho immense revenues from customs, lands, and
other sources since that, have been all spent,
and, in addition to all this, this ''ecoaomicat''
and democratic Congress, at one short ses-
sion, has incurred pationa debt Of fortg
millions Of dollars.
These are only a few Of the items Of profi>
gate and eNtravagant, AMI, we may add, un
precedcntcd expenditures of the last Congress;
and at an early day, when We have more time
and space, we will feel it our duty TO give fur
ther details
And this is the economical Congress" we
arc asked TO admire, and which the democratic
press would hold up as a model. We hope the
people are we'll enough informed, and honest
enough, to repudiate as false aud dsg !aceful
all such economy, and all such sham democra-
cy as this

MORE FARR1CATIONs.

DAT the present session of Congress, bills
have been passed directly admitting two new
free States Minnesota and Oregou-and pro-
viding for the addition of the third fKansas) to
the northern side of the Ledger Here then
are three new free States, and without the off
set Of single new slave State"
We copy the above from the Gazette of last
week, where it purports to have been taken
from that pink of democracy, the .New York
Herald Look at the miserabls subterfuges
and fabrications to which sham democracy is
driven. Before the election it was s'Buehanan
aud Free Krnsas." and now, since the Presi-
dent and Congress have exhausted all their ef
forts, and wasted nearly a whole session to
force slavery on Kansas, their followers insult
the people they have betrayed BY fouting in
their faces such wholesale lies as the above
"Three new free STATES" admitted into the
Union at the last session of Congress, were
they Let us see. OF the whole three nam
ed, Minnesota alone was admitted as free
State. The bill to admit Oregon as free
State passed one House Of Congress, but not
the other She had prepareda free State con-
stitution, and fitted herself in every way for
admission, as tue one branch Admitted by pas
sing the bill, and there was and could be no
substantial reason urged against her admission.
Why then vas she not admitted Fer two
reasons; first, because sue wanted to be free
State, and, secondly, to use the language of the
Gazette, sthere t0qs Democratic majority IN
both Houses of Congress Another reason
may be that they had not time. This demo-
cratic Congress. which could spend four months
out of the five 10 attempting to fasten slavery
on Kansas in defiance of her popular vote, had
not time even to consider the claims OF free
State against which there was and could be no
objection, except that she ,eas free State
Oregon, therefore, is not State yet, and it re-
mains for some other than q democratic Con-
gress to admit her. And then Kansas. She
is another OF the three free STATES, is she p
Why, il is notorious that sho is not admitted at
all, aud win not be, and cannot be, unless up
on compliance with certain terms. The main
conditions are that if she will vote to accept
some three millions OF acres of public lands

We do not entertain doubt but England will
apologize for any wrong committed, because
she well knows that not TO do so renders war
inevitable.
As to boasting, and clustering, and war-like
speeches in the Senate, they are understood by
every intelligent reader. The Administration
does not dream Of war, but its friends threaten
and look to the opposition TO hold it back and
keep it in check and then in 1860 we will be
called the Peace Party willing to submit to
British Aggression Our friends preceive this
game, and check-mate it BY cooliy saying -
We shall not be in your way. The Government
is yours, and if you want war with England,
SO be it--haye il your own way only do not
ask us to hold you back when you pretend to
be anxious tor fight. You are responsible 70
the people for the honor OF the country and
if you decide that war with England is ne
cessary for its vindication, so be it; the
Republican Party will not be in your way

that since the year 1886 tho democratic has
been minority party, aud that its success in
