will speedily transact the business Tor
which they were called together, and
return home to their families and to
their farms. If they launch out anto

should be but little of it done, except
to keep the sinews strong, and tue ma
chinery of Government in good order'
Bad Legislation on the part of ou'
Congress has nccessitated the present
call of our Governor.
