THE LATE SESSJON OF CONGllESS.
The Legislative business of the ses
sion of Congress which has just ter-
minaicu, nas Deen conauctea witn
: more assiduity and zeal, perhaps, and
? .1 t t . . : t
vruu more ccicrity anueneci certain
ly, than at any previous session which
has falleh within oar observation. The
object for Which Congress was conve
ned at this Extra Session, was crene
rally understood to be, to provide a
system of war taxes, calculated to de
fray the interest of the Public Debt
now existing, and which mav be ere'
ated during the war, . To this object'
then, they bent their principal atten
tion. It has been deliberate! V but
speedily accomplished; and the ses
sidrJ was not protracted a moment af
ter the several bills on this subject!
were perfected. I here .was conside
rable difference of opinion'even a-
morig.the majority, on the proper Ob
jects of taxation ; but. these' differen
ces were not permitted W interfere!
with the public interest, :ol frustrate
the 'measures it required ; add those
who could pot Obtain such a variation
or modification of the system as they
wcucu, gave uicjr support io inai
s stem, which, was'. proposed. by "the
comrfiittee of .Waysahd Mears, ra-
ther ;han defeat the measures neces-l
sary to support thejertdit of the Gov-
ernment. I he laws on this subject,
therefore notwithstanding the oppo-
suion inaouuai on an occasions; oi
those wild Have clamoured most about
the necessity of taxes, were passed by
commanaing majcriues. a nese se-
vefal laws, besides containing the ge.
neral provisions for the assessment fit
collection of direct and internal taxes 1
irid for establflhing the officelof Com?
missioner or tne itevenue, -emorace
the following prOv'r.iohsi yizVto lay
ouues on licences io rciaucrs oi wines ji
spirituoos liquors , and foreign mer-
chandize ; on licences. to distillers off
spirituous liquors ; on sates at auction adventurous seamen, wno nave 91
of 'merchandize and ofhips antl ves4 ready signalized themselves in every
sets;-on sugar renneo vyitnin tne u
niteb! States ; on banknotes', and cer
tain, negociable paper i and on im
ported salt. These laws to continue
in force during the present war; and
until one y ear-aft e"r its7terrnination.
i'' Besides these several law st in mim-
ber ten", providing ayystem pf direct
ana.imeruar laxauoo, a aw .was pass1
ed authorising ZUof f!75QQ OOO,
a part ofwfiich js;.to"fc"e,appropriited
to the -service cfthiVrewnlfyear for
exnenecs ( Ol-mi uua principally ; notii
oeiore catcuiarea on, una tne 4 jmaini e
dtr for the service of tte'firitrjuaiter 1 1
onne-
ed could pot be provided for in time
at the next session of Congress.
These are. all the, measures taken
for raising a revenue or providing the
ways and means for the support of go
vernment: -A: .ji.., -';,;
Besides the passage of these, laws,
however,Copgress adopted many pro
visions for encouraging the prosecu
tion of the war, and to render it, both
offensively and defensively, more effi
cient. Of this character,' we- may
pronounce the aets which were pass
ed, to authorise the raising a corps of
sea fencibles ; to authorise the pur
chase and sinking of hulks for the fur
ther defence of the ports and harbors
of the United States ; to authorise C.ic
building of barges to protect pur bays
and rivers; to Continue in. force the
severances authorising the employ
ment of mounted rangers on the fron
tiers, and to explain and amend those
acts ; to prolong the the term of en
listment of 6 regiments of the twelve
months' men authorised by the. act of
the last session, to five years or dur
ing the wax; to amend the U esta
blishing the ordnance department ; to
regulate -the allowance of forage: to
the officers of the army, &c. Be
sides these military and naval prepa
rations and regulations, two acts wpre
passed the first of them unanimously
io both'-Houses, which, having an im
portant bearing pn our military ope
rations, we also class under. this head.
We speak of the act to provide for
the widows and orphans of militia
slain, and for militia disabled io the
service of the United States ; and the
act making compensation for waggons
and teams captured and destroyed by
the enemy at Detroit. The first of
these acts assures to. the militia-man
who is called out under his country's
banners, that if he is disabled his go
vernment will secure him. from want,
and that, if he falls, his . country will
take his family under its, guardian
care ; the last assures compensation
to the citizen for his property destroy
ed in the public service. v
It md become notorious, and the
tact was established by the woful ex
pecience of many who had engaged
ia.& suffered by it, that Privateering
on the ocean, that mode of warfare
which we believe more tfiari'any ci
ther, harrasses the enemy by distress
ing his commerce, had. languished &
had almost asedi from thearit of
encouragement from the government,
the absence of which,' together with
the obstructions thrown in the way by
those opposed td the .success of their
country's arms, had discouraged and
smothered that enter prizing spirit, un-
jjcr the impulse of which, on the dc.
claration of the war, privateerincr' s6
vigojpusiy commencea. congress
took this subject, into iheir mature
consideration; and: during the ses-
sioh, passed several laws, having for
their object to release thevclaims of
the United States to certain British
property captured by private armed
vessels j to reduce the duties on prize
goods captured by the private armed
vessels j to allow a b'ourity of 2S.d6l
lars tor every prisoner captured ana
brought in by them y to extend the
act allowing pensions to the wounded
in action on board private armed ves
sels, to such as shall be accidentally
wounaeo ouringine cruize, unaer
these' salutary provisions, It is hoped
anu pxuevea a new spring. wui oc gi
ven to enterprise, and that the ocean
will again swarm with our hardy and
sea by their bravery and skill whene-
vcrincy nxvc cucuuuicrcu au cuciuy.
