The first session of the thirty-seyentb Con-
gress closed yesterday afternoon 1t is not
exaggeration to say that no more important
session has been held since the adoption of the
constitution. Left by the treason of one third
Of the States of the Union in the political con-
troll of republicans, or of men sympathzing
with the predominant sentiment of the free
States, they have had to bear the responsibility
of its legislation, and in great degree also of
events in the management of the war. which
were not clearly within their control But in
dependent of the crude and unjust criticism
of the hour, which often measures questions
not by their merits. but by their supposed ex-
pediency, the present Congress will be histori-
cally as far above all former Congresses as the
events with which it has had to deal were the
more grand and important. When the politi-
cal machinery, by which the policy of the ma
ton has been shaped and formed, perishes, and
men can judge its worth without prejudice and
without fear,t distinguishing act of the pres
ent Congress win shine forth with clear lustre
men will will date progress from them, as
the ancients reckoned from the birth of their
heroes or the reigns of their consuls.
1t is needless to specify particular: acts of leg
islation which entitle it TO the gratitude of the
layal people of the country, since its whole
spirit has flowed in the channel Of the best pa
triotism-JUsTICE. The homestead bill, the
Pacific railroad bill, the prompt and vigorous
measures which the exigencies of the war have
from time to time compelled it to adopt, the
large and difficult questions of finance which
it has met and decided, are greatly to its cred
It, Not less so is the courage with which it
has met and solved the questions on which the
political controversies of the last forty years
have turned, in which this extraordinary war
had its origin, and in the established and per-
manent settlement of which alone can there be

ital, freedom the law of territories, freedom the
law wherever the federal jurisdiction extends,
here and hereafter-if these glorious acts are
in any degree owing to the rebellion, they are
no small atonement for the grief it has brought
upon the nation. Whatever may happen here
after these lights and guides will stand 9th

will ever have the courage to reverse them

Meeting mt New City Hall.

Last evening, the citizens OF Portland met
at the New City Hall according to previous
notice-John A. Poor, Esq, in the chair, NJ.
G. Dow of Westbrook, Secretary.
Mr.. Poor, on taking the chair, announced
the object of the meeting, and after a few STIR
ring and patriotic remarks introduced to the
audience, Hon. Benz. Kingsbury, Jr., of this
city.
Mr.. Kingsbury addressed the meeting in an
earnest, eloquent and patriotic manner. He
said that Jackson, years ago. answered the
question, ''Shall the Union be preserved" when
he uttered that glorious sentiment, "The Union
it must and shall be preserved" We can all
stand upon the platform of the Union. THE
lateness of the hour and press of telegraphic
matter compels us to omit full report of the
speeches. We may publish them Tomorrow
Charles =. Kimball, Esq, was called upon
and made some patriotic remarks. He said he
was not man of wealth or of much influence,
but he was ready to enlist or procure a substi-
tute. tApplause) He paid high compli-
ment to Gen. Mcclellan.
Moses G. IDow then addressed then meeting.
He said he heard Secretary Cameron say last
year that Maine had responded to the call OF
the country better than any other state in the
union. She had sent the finest and noblest
men to the war. He spoke of the bravery of
Maine troops in the field.
An old veteran of the war of 1912, whose
name we did not learn, then addressed the
meeting in very happy manner, and was fire.
quently interrupted by applause. He said he
stood draft in 1872 dew blank, but would
enlist, did enlist and went TO Canada. He
spoke of the lberality of the City Govern
ment, and said they had done nobly, (enthus-
astic cheering and the band struck up Yankee
Doodle.)
Ailer which series of resolutions were in
by the Secretary.
We omit the resolutions, owing to the late
ness of the hour and want of space They
were expressive of the necessity of still
greater increase of bounty, and of censure of
the city govenment
Hon. +. o. j. Smith of Westbrook, was then
introduced who expressed himself strongly in
favor OF still more liberal action on the part of
the city government He spoke at length of
the magnitude of the rebellion, and expressed
much regret that the men of wealth of the
city of Portland were not up to the crisis upon
them. His remarks were lengthy, and devot-
ed principally to denunciations of the city
government, and animadversions of the veal
thy men of Portland. He thought the city
ought to give bounty of seventy Five dollars
Hon. John b. Brown proposed to pay one
half of the amount necessary to be raised to
increase the bounty from forty-five to seventy
five dollars, if Mr.. Smith would pay the other
half, which that gentleman declined 10 do.
Remarks were made by several other gen.
tlemen, after which the resolutions were pass
ed and the meeting adjourned.
The Portland Band were in attendance, and,
as usual, acquitted themselves admirably. 1t
is one of the best bands in the State.
