The business before CONGRESS cannot be ex-
pected to be as interesting for the first few weeks
ofthe Session as at a latter period ofit. The com
mittees are yet scarcely appointed: and no busi-
ness is likely to come seriously before either
llottse until it has first passed the ordeal of the
committecs.—-The t‘csolut_lons, directing corn-
mittees toinquire into tlteexpediency of enacting
this or that, are agreed to as matters in course,
unless they contain suggestions altogether inad-
missible. It is courtesy winch the house ylCl(l5
to any and every of its members, to allow an in-
'vt-.stig:ation of any matter which in his opinion the
public interest requires to be examined, unlcssit
be so offensive that it cannot be allowed to be 11
subject of inquiry or discussion. It is this cus-
tom which causes much of the time of Congress
to be occupiedjon questions which are ultimately
decided in the negative. It is nevertheless a sal-
utary practice, the abolition of which would be to
narrow the range of free inquiry, and substitute
the pleasure of a majority of the House for the
rights of the individual members. There are
some persons who seem to think that Congress
ought to work by the hour——assemble like the la-
borers at the Capital, when the bull sounds, and-
like them, disperse when it rings again. In the
opinion of such, no doubt, the early part of the
session is wasted, because it is not fertile oflaws.
But the truth is, that no part of the session of
Congress is more usefully employed than that
month or six weeks which is consumed by every
new Congress in inquiries and consultations ne-
cessary to enable its members to discharge the
trust confided to them satisfactorily to themselves,
or advantageously to their country. In the present
Congress there are upwards of ninety new mem-
bers, of whom at least seventy-live have never
been in Congress before. The very best inform-
ed among these has to learn the rou'iue of busi-
ness in Congress, before he can become an elli-
cient member; and there are not a few of them
whose habits ofthought and lTl0L-iCS 0 action have
been so indentilied with the pt".‘.CtlC€ under our
state governments, and so gradu-.tte-:1 to the scale
and uz-.t-are of the objects of their legislation, as
to require some time 'to adapt and familiarize
themselves to their new station. for these and
other reasons, it appears to us not only ailotvalllea
but desirable, that no business of importance
should be pt't:5se(l to (1 conclusion during the first
t.‘.’6£‘l{ or two of the first session of each Congress.
it" this be correct as a general poisitlcfls it is P31"
aicularly so when applied to 3 Congress in which
there is so great a proportion of new members
as in the present.
~ Of the proceedings of Congress for the last
week, our readers have had a regnlut‘ account-
Wltut will be the nature of the business for this
week, is wholly a matter of conjecture, Few re-
ports can be expected from the comm‘otlct:s- in
the course ofthc week, the President may trons-
mit to Congress other documents connected \V.tii‘t
the topics of his Message, or one or the other
House may call for them. Reports may also be
made by some of the Executive of'licers, Szc.
These will extend the field of deliberation over
which the committees have to travel.
The only important paper, ltowcvelw Williill We
have a tight to expect during the week, is the An-
nual Report of the Secretary of the Trmtsury,
which, we presume, may be looked for in a day or
two. From‘ that document we shall have the de-
tails on which is founded the acceptable intimt-.tion
to be found in the President's It;ic'sszt;;'e, tlt;-tt ‘die

adcquate to the national cxpcndittxre. it is sure-
ly a subject of sincere cong_;ratulation that Con-
gress are relieved from the necessity ofest.thhsh-
int; :1 system ofintcrnal taxation, at a pctiorl when
such -.1 system would necessarily operate on apart
only of the Union-—the other part not possessing
a currency in which taxes could be collected by
the United States. In the ensuing three years,
we hope that something like an equality of value
will be restored to the currency in every section
ofthe Union ; and, ifit be necessary then to re-
sort to direct taxation, thatit will be at least pos-
sible to carry such a system into eifcct.
