THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
After a prolonged session of sev
enteen Weeks Congress adjunrfted
tiii the 1st flay of this month, and
its acts and doings have become a
jMirt of the history of the count ry and
re open to the criticism of the sov
ereign peoide. For tlie first lime
in ninny long years ihe democratic
party had a majority iu both branches
It is but natural therefore to
inquire whether that majority has
so acted as to justify their retention.
Have the democrats in Congress
endeavored to redeem their pledges
to the people, and what have they
duoc? Wo will attempt briefly to
smswer these questions.
At the beginning of the session
the democratic nartv declared throe
