The Richmond Enquirer has an article, III
relation to Mr.. Letcher's position with re-
gard to the Administration, in which it de-
clares, that "Mr. Letcher is Obliged by policy
as reu as by principle. to OPPOSE openly the
doctrines of the Presidents Message And
it then goes on to say
"If he should fail to do so-if he should
agree to take the Presidents Message for
his platform-he would leave his party only
q choice of evils, as between himself and MIR.
Goggin. 1t is true that very few Demo-
Gratis of the right stamp would, even in that
case, choose the latter alternative. But the
great mass of the party who might vote for
Mr.. Letcher, would do so hesitatingly and
under protest. And we are well assured
that very large portion Of the party would
not vote for him at all. They would quietly
fold their arms and take no part whatever IN
a contest between two Federalist champions.
In short, an endorsement of the President $
message by Mr.. I.etcher, would inevitably
insure Mr.. Letcher's defeat
The reader will not fail to observe the
"straight out" line here marked for Mr.
Lescher. 1t would certainly be curious
thing to see the Democratic candidate Tor
Governor placed in the attitude of an antag-
onist 10 the democratic Administration"

ALEXANDRIA,:
TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH I, 1859.

Unless Congress shall, before Friday next,
the 18th inst, provide for an expected def
cheney Of the revenue for the coming fiscal
year, it is probable the President will find it
necessary to call an extra session. In the
enumeration ofthe powers Of the President of
the United States, Section of the End Arti-
Gle of the Constitution says-"Ie shall, from
time 10 time. give to the Congress informa-
ton of the state of the Union, and recommend
to their consideration such measures as he
shall Judge necessary and expedient he may,
on extraordinary occasions, convene both
Houses, or either of them, aud in case of dis
agreement between them, with respect to the
time of adjournment, he may adjourn them
to such time as he may think proper"
We do not at present recollect all the diff
ferent times at which extra or special ses-
sions Of Congress have been called. The last
three will he remembered by many of our
readers. Mr.. Van Buren, was inaugurated
on the 4th March, 1887. There was then a
surplus of many millions in the Treasury
In May, great revulsion took place, all the
banks in the country suspended, and the sur
plus was very soon absorbed, so that it be-
came necessary to call an extra session Of Con-
gress, which after about sixty days notice by
proclamation, met 4th September, and sat
till 10th October, 1887. Gen. Harrison was
iuauguratsd President on the 18th March,
1S4l. Immediately afterwards Congress was
called by proclamation to meet on the 3lst
May. The President died on the 4th April,
ls4l. Congress met according to notice,
and sat till the 18th September. Congress
having adjourned in August, 1856, without
passing the Army Appropriation Bill, Presl'
dent Pearce Immediately issued a proclama-
ton calling Congress to meet in three days
We shall. perhaps. shortly take some no
tice of all the extra sessions OF Congress
which have taken place since the meeting OF
the first Congress, on the 18th March, 1889
seventy years ago next Thursday.

The House Committee of Ways and Means
agreed on Saturday morning to report the
various tariff bills to the House. Mr.. Phelps
first, Mr.. Morrill's as a substitute, with a
loan attached, and Mr. Phillips to be moved
as an amendment But when this report
was brought into the House, and suspen-
sion of the rules moved, it was refused,
though majority of forty appeared, two
thirds being necessary: so, unless sudden
change should come over the House, such as
is not expected, no modification can carry in
that way. The only hope is by attaching it
to an appropriation bill. Even then the pros
pect is remote: though there is now force
enough to overrule the Speaker in declaring
such an amendment not germane. An effort
will be made to attach Treasury notes on to
some bill in the expiring hours of the session.
