THE, EXPIRING CONGRESS.
The Commercial Advertiser does the ma-
j‘ority of the expiring Congress great injus-
tice in attributing the rejection of Mr. Web-
ster’s Exchequer bil'l entirely to the fact that
it was a measure of John T‘yler’s Adminis-
-tration. Such an irnpeachinent of the mo-
tives of the great Whig party from the Globe
or Argus would have excited no surprise,
because those journals make it their profes-
siohand pride to vilify whatever is done by
their opponents. Against attacks from such
quarters the Whigs may well defend tliem-
selves, for hostility is expected. But to be
forced to fight, at once, their foes and their
friends, to ward offthe direct, manly blows
oftheirgopcn enemies and at the same time
dodge the side thrusts of professed allies, is
a. task too hard even for Whig soldiers. No
Congress that ever convened has been placed
in so difficulta position asythat which is now
so near its end; every measure the majority
has suggested or favored has been met by
the bitterest and most virulent hostility ofthe
.locofocos; and this warefare has been aiced
we are sorry to say, not only by the small
,I-Iessian phalanx, whose political support
was always in the market, and who without
the least power to do good could by no pos-
sibility injure any but their friends, but also
by a large portion of the whig press through-
out_ the country, which has deemed it pat-
riotic and a mark of independence to vilify
their friends for not achieving iinpossibilities.
. The Commercial kno_ws that the Whigs
.of this Congress have been uttcrly powerless
on all greatquestions of national policy.——
Their hands have been tied by the Veto.
Theyfound very soon after the death of
President Harrison that their wisdom and
their-deliberations were to be utterly useless
They were to have no will of their own
and could do nothing at all for the relief of
the country, except to give the form of law
to John Tyler's edicts and arm with the
whole power of the nation whatever com-
mands it might please him to issue. The
‘ question ofa National Currency the Com-
mercial very properly deems one ofthe first
importance; and what Congress. we would
risk, has ever manifested so deep anxiety, or
exerted themselves with so zealous and pat-
riotic devotion to the public good, to place
the finances of the nation upon a sound
foundation, as the present? They made
repeated and most earnest efforts to devise a
plan which should afford relief; they chose
to rush into no rash experiments, to adopt r.o
c.__rude devices; but adhered ste.i(lf.-istly and
truly to the outlines, of that plan which all
sound theory and all experience had proved
to be sale. They evinced the utmost anxiety
to relieve it of all grounds of objection, sub
stantial or fiinciful; and laying aside the
dignity of sovereign Legislators, they even
went so far as to consult the wishes and
whims of the Executive, in relation even to
the phraseology and title of the bill they had
framed. An’! yet, the Coininercial says 'a
quarrel was resolved upon.—l3y whom we
should like to know. Did all these anxious
attempts at concili-ition evince a determina-
tion ‘to quarrel’ on the pirt of Congress?
All their plans were contemptuously vetoed
and they were told distinctly and with the
» authority of a master, that unless they chose
to take the Excheqtiet‘ which John Tyler of-
fered they should have nothing.
And for not accepting the terms thus (lic-
tatcd, as by a conqueror. the Commercial
sternly rebukes them. They have again &. c-
gain proclziiiiicd the reasons why they could
neversanction the Exch.-quer scheme. They
have cxpos -d the tremendous power it
would confer upon. the Executive: giving to
the President, directly or in lirectly, the ap-
pointment ofall its officers and to those o»f£i-
cers the authority to use the money of the
Nation for Banking purposes; thus making
the scheme at once a Government Bank, and
arining it with powers which in the heat of
party conflicts could not fail to be abused
anl made most dangerous to the rights and
iibzrties ofthe prople. They have shown
thit-,—thius potent for evil as it is, thus cloth‘-
ed with power far more terrible than the
Sub Treasury Scheme which was so em-
phatically condemned by the p--ople in 1840
-_——it could do nothing wliatever to relieve
the country fro:.n its distress and pl not its
business upon a firm foundation. Whenev-
er they have spoken ofthe plan at all it has
been in this tune: they have proclaiined their
‘:b:'lief.that it involves in itself for greater
evil, than it even professes to remove, and
for thisrezison they have steadily refused it
their sanction. Yet the Commercial choses
to transfer to its own head, from that of the
stolid organ ofthe Presitlu-at, a garbled slan-
der upon Congress and_, in the face of facts
to c.h'.1i'gc the Whigs, upon its own account,
with liming rejected the Exchequer solely
because it was proposed by Mr. Trlcr. This
is utterly untrue and wantonly unjust.
_— We do not believe there has been for years
a _Congress whose members have been actu-
ated by a more pure and lofty desire to leg
istatc forthe public good than this. They
have been opposed in their efforts. their in
tentions slandcrt-d, their motives impeached
and belied by pretended friends still more
g-Iossl" than by open foes. Even those who
once battled most firmly and declaimed most
-loudly against the dangerous encroachments
of Executive power have vilified the Con-
gress or" the Nation for claiming any power
at all or daring in the least to evince their
consciousness of its possession.
.6.-nrl -yet in spite of all this iinuxanipled
liostil'it'y,.the present Caog.r.ess has done an
amount of business never surpassed, and
cfvinccd a steady endurance of misfortune
and c,e.iseless opposition. a calm dignity in
the midst ofstruggles which have i_tgita_teCl
and put to test the very principles of our
Government, unequalled in the recent histo-
ry ofthe Nation. it is a favoritz_2dec!aration
with many who call themselves staunch
Whigs throughout the country, that the pres-
‘cut Congress goes out of being, in disgrace.
It ‘will not appear thus long. ',l".lt._e'hafe» WC-

the country, providing for all our mechanics

land a market for their productions, and

alone would redeem the character of a far
worse Congress than even its worst friends
have ever represented this to be.
Beauties of Locofoco Fi7za.nciering.-——Ev-
ory body knows, or ought to know that an
English gentleman named Smithson. made
a large bequesta few years ago to the U.
States, for scientific purposes. ‘Vt-ll--the
money was received all in gold. Of this
money, the then locofoco Secretary of the
Treasury (Levi ‘tVoodbury) gavehalfa mill-
ion in gold to the loco foco State of Arkan-
sas, and took her bonds at pom A. [-1. Se-
vier (locofoco U. S Senator) and F. T. Wil-
liamson. were the agents ofArkansas in this
business. They delivered the paper bonds.
took the gold from Woodbury and sold it,
of course for a large premium, for Southern
and Western bank notes, and put the premi-
um in their own pockets In addition to
that, Sevier charged $3000 for his services.
and Williamson $2000 for his, and they paid
a Washington broker, who was thoiragt-nt,
35,000 out ofthe fund--loaned 89.000 rriore
to sundry New York brokers—and Sevier
then ttppropriatr-d $14,300, and Williamson
$14,094, each to his own use, as further
compensation for services! The upshot of
the matter is, that Sevier and Williamson
lined their pockets, and the government has
now to look to Arkansas for pay. Arkan-
sas put the money in the vaults ofthe Arkan-.
sas Bank, and that bank has now but $15,:
000 of specie in its vaults!

Nucleus of the Comet.——VVe had -.1 fair op-
portunity, on Saturday evening, the llth. of
observing the nucleus or head of the comet,
t being elevated above the horizon, and
close to the well known star Batcn of the
Whale (55 celi.) At this time, its right as-
ceution was 1 hour 43 minutes, and its decli-
nation 1! 1-4 degrees, i.e.irly—settiag about
twenty ll"llnU_tt‘S be-fore.S o’clock. The train
occupied in fact more than two hours in set-
ting; but being immersed in the vapor near
the horizon‘, its fr-eble light was extinguish-
ed rapidly, and long before it had actually
set. The nucleus was doubtless far less
briliant that it would have been had its lati-
tude been greater and the moon absent; but
- ven under these diszdvantages, it presented
theappcarance of a bright central spot, en-
veloped in :1 mistyhaze, elongated in ll’lCtll-
rection ofthe train the whole SOlDe\\‘l'i8f.«rl‘a-
sembling a lamp seen through a shade of
ground glass. The train was better seen
than heretofore. being more elevated above
the horizon, and cxtcnclingifuirtlier oa_sl.\\':'tl‘Cl.
Its visible length was about forty degrees-
northern margin about two degrees south of
Gamma Erid-.irn——eastern visible limit near
the Sceptrc—shape resembling a very large
feather, with the convex side upwards.

It is a curious fact that the b.estsla.te quar-
ries in Europe are in Bangor. in Wales, and
slate quarries have been discovered pear
the town ofthe same name in this country,
Bangor. Maine, which are pronounced by
all the‘ Geologists to be quite as valuable and
extensive as those of Wales. The quarries
at Bangor, VValrs, employ 2000 men and
boys, and during the shipping season twenty
or thirty vessels are constantly waiting for
cargoes, which are deliveredqat the wharf
for $l0 to -$12 per ton. It has been ascer-
tained from actual experiment on a consider-
able quantity, that equally good slate from
the Maine quarries can be delivered on the
wharf at Bangor. Me. at the same price,

This law specific‘-s a class cfof nicn, viz 2,

a riglit which is unalienable: that ofexercis

and oppression never disgraced any body of
men. Let me call the attention of honest
men, to the following View of ihecase.
