Is that paradox9 The Second Comp

that the bill passed by Congress, for the
equalization of bounties, is imperative In
consequence Of serious defects in the word

We also perceive that the second section
is totally imperative, as 1t does not apply

The last Hours Of den of Thieves.
OF the last hours OF the late, so called
Congress--no moro a Congress. in the spir-
! it of the Constitution, than was the late
New Orleans mob, and no more respecta-
ble,-a cotemporary remarks, that the en-
tire session, which, from its opening, was a
carcature upon free government, was
almost exclusively elevated to the vilcst
schemes of plumber and corruption, and es--
pccially to those of New England monopo-
lists, spectators, corruptionists and phi
lanthropists; but ut the last hour, when the
great West asked for a snail appropriation
for the Improvement of the navigation OF
the Mississippi, the greatest and cheapest
outlet of the Northwest to the sea, STE
WINS pronounced against it. BANKS slam
dcred 1t, and their serVile followers humbly
repudiated il, These patriots then deliber-
atcly turned about and voted themselves
two thousand dollars each out of the Fed
eral Treasury literally pilfered half mill
lion Of dollars from the public for theirper-
sonai pocket money, This robbery was
smugglod into bill to appropriate from
one to three hundred thousand dollars to
pay bounties TO Northern soldiers-thus
carrying out the traditional policy of the
Abolitionists, by uniting the folilest cor
ruption to pretenslons of patriotism and
philanthropy. There was no connection
between the bill to pay bounty TO soldiers
and the scheme to steal this increase of pay
from the Treasury; and had it not been
