THK lATK SFSSIOX OF CONGRESS When we took a few days ngo, a brief view of the measures of a public nature -which had been consummated during tie lute Session of Qt'nrress, we intimated an intention to notice, at a future day, those measures of a like character, which were proposed, but were either positively re 'lerted, or failed, from the want of inclina- ti: or tne want or time, to receive a u nal decision in pc tn nouses. 1 lie pro mise we proceed to redeem ; the morv rea 'tty, since we perctivc th:t public at tention is not as generally directed, as we think it ought to he, to the Legisla tive branch of the public concerns, than which it suitly ntcds no argument to shew that those which attract much more attention much less require it. Firft, in the order of importance, may be ranked the question of the power of - Congress over intcrr-'l i mprovemcnt, which occupied so large a portion of the time of the House of Peprcsentatives. The vote which was taken on this subject cannot be said to have settled anv princi ple the votes respecting it, both in the affirmative and negative, having been gi ven tinder various constructions of the terms of the several propositions submit ted for decision, on all of which the oppo- Sing sides were nearly Daiancec. it is j certainv at leat, that no future Congress will feel itself bound by it ; and that no silrsntage has beeu gained, by the long discussion of it, either to the opponents or advocates of the power, excepting the flood of light which the Debate has shed bn the question. The bill, reported in the House of Re 'presentatives, to provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia of the United States, as not so much as taken up ; net: did any. bill pass the Senate on the subject. Thus, fi v o Session to Session, from Cor ress to Ccngress, this subject is agitated, referred ta committees, report ed en, and deferred for a time of greater If 'vure and more convenient opportunity. Mt?.n while, time waits not for Congress"; tl.t: i pp rttinity passes by ; and the an- p oach or prupect of another war will ; stirnui ite attenth.11 to it, at a season and in a siHte cf the public mind, of all others the most utiht iVr correct legislation on it. During peace, few are found to deny ; he importance of such m orgi.izat'on of the' militia as will subject it to a hose authori ties to whom the' constitution has cc i.fided the defence of the country from invasion, the prosecution of war. and the sup ress ion of insurrection. But, when war comes, when rebellion is in arms, party spirit is, up, our bad passions are inflamed, and that is withheld, from distrust, jealousy or hate, which, at other times, would have been readily imparted, under the serse cf duty and the obligations cf pa triotism. This subject would long ago have been acted on, had the people re garded "the means of preserving their li berties wiih half the interest which was excited b the mode of Compensating the IUp- r.tativesin Congress for their ser vices. The disparity in the magnitude of the objects need uot bo remarked The question respecting the Massachu setts claim, for the services of their mili tia during the late w;r, was presented to the attention of Congress, referred to committees, but not acted on. It is be lieved that the prosecution of the claim was vt luntarily deferred, by its advocates, to the next Session cfC egress. A wcrse fate attended the claim of certain citizens of Georgia, fr militia services rendered during the last administration of President Washington ; which -was debated with much zeal, and some acrimony, and final -.... ly rejected. ;:..;".:::v 1 here were several propositions and' bills rejected, at different periods cf the I sessicc, which may be clashed in a series I nf measures, the basis of which was gra-1 tkude and bene w knee, and the anticipa- j ted effect, to secure to the United States i the cheerful repittion of its military ' ranks, should any future emergency re-! qivrc it. i ne w n: ic oi tnese measures. w e cannot recal ; but the following re I the regular aimy, who vt-re kilitd in bat tle, or d;ed m service dm i::g"the late war ; to extend, for a turther ttrin uf five years, the pensions heretofore granted to the widow and orphans of olucers and s'. l diers of the militia who were in like s:.aa Der killed or died in service ; t-.; vrive do nations of land to tlie disbanded ai:d de ranged officers of the arniy ; to allow an 'addition: ! ration per day to each commis sioned officer in the service of the United States. Though f a general siiniliiude cf character, we have by no means re -jirdcd these measures as equal in merit. tjvr readers will probably agree with us, tiuit there is niorc than oue of them afford ing much room for difference of opinion a mrjigst those whose sentiments geuer.dly acccrd. " The establishment ef a corps of inva lids was again proposed at die late session, and again rejected. A like f;tet on simi lar grrunds. attended the proposition to Establish three additional military acade mics, and, ou wliat grounds we know not. the motion to establinb an addiUvinai ar- morv otr the esiern waters. But the ' t " fate of none" of these is so much to be re ! n etted as cf to bsirconcerninc invalid ' ! pensioners, las is an annual bill, tor adding to the pension list those crippled and worn down veteran who present the niselves at the Pennon Oflice during tae preceding year. The bill failed at . . rr'i ... . I tne late session, because its passfcjre in ' . . ii . if-. - . the nusc ox ivcjjieseiiiaiives was tleierr cu to s. late an hour of the session, that - the bci.ute c.u'.u not act on it.

The prominent one was that to alter the organization of the courts of the U. States, wfs to constitute a Supreme J Court, to be composed of the present Cir j cuit Judgi s, and to authm ize the appoint- ment of other Circuit Judges in Ik u of ' them. This proposition was not debated, and of course not decided on A bill to increase the compensation of the present 1 Circuit. Judges passed the Senate, and was rejected in the other House ; revived in a dila:rent shnpe, but finally rejected, on the last right of the Session, in consequence of a disagreement between the two Hou ses as to some other point in the bill The bill to prescribe the effect which certain records and judicial proceedings of the courts -f each state, and in the courts of the United States ; the bill res) cting fu gitives froni justice ; the bill t - regulate prisentrr ships ?nd vessels ; the bdl re sjiectii g the transportation of persons of color for sale or to be field to labor, all failed, the first i f them after a Ion de bate, in which much law le irni;;g was displayed- In regard to those su'yccts strictly ''.legal, we profess not to lie sutnV.- j ently acquaintetl with to speak of them. ! We cnv.not but believe, however, that the framers of the constitution never intended : tlie judges c: our highest court of judica- ture to travel, !he year round, with the . undignified speed of postboys, from Court House to Court House, leaving a space of a few days ;u a yeai only for their most solemn duties. VVitlv such a bench as ours ; indt pendent ly i all consideration : of the genera! ii.terest.a little more regard ; we think, ourht to be paid to the perso nal comfort, nay, to the personal safety, 'of those' who illustrate it by their charac ter and abilities. The proposition to increase the salaries of the Heads of Departments was also re jected, in consequence of a disagreement betwi u the two Ho ;-;es as to the rate of increase. This meas ire, as well as the increase of the Compensation of the Judg may be regarded as only deferred un til the next session of Congress ; when it appears to us impossible they should not take effect. The poor stipend now al lowed to them does not pay the house rent and marketing of the former, and scarcely the iunerarv expenses of the latter, even on the most economical scale ; and it is derouaturv"To"the character of a nation, to cul its eminent citizens from h.me into jnibiic statinus, leaving to them the opuon of sturvgutin or impoverish ment. .' ;: ', ;' '.:;:;; Tne bill to authorize the appointment i.f a Vice-P resident and V ice-Cashie r for the Bank cf the United Mates, pas.st ti the Senate, but was rejected in the II. use of Rep rv aer.tat i e s, hem w arm 1 y i.ssa : ed , by the Western members p uticularly, whose constituents were sufteiin under the pressure occasioned, as they contend- Besides these propositions of a public j nature, which failed after being submit ; ted to one or the ether house, there were j more than an hundred reports and bills respecting private claims, which were rejected, or not acted on tor Want ot f ime. Far the greater part of them fell within the latter description, and most of them, if acted c-n at ait, would have been reject ed. One of the rejected cases we cannot help regarding as one ot great hardship, li was that of a bill, or two bills, for the relief of John Auderson.in cases of losses, of 'small-amount, su-tainedin consequence of his spirited and patriotic conduct du ring the late war. After these biils had found favor with the House of Represen tatives, he cominkred that unfortunate mistake, by confounding the duties of a mere clerk with those of a legislator, and offering money to a member for labor he neslred to be rendered, which cost the j House so much time. His error was not j , so great, but public exposure as a crimi- i ; n il was, ad indeed, w as so deemed by I v.ongress, a suiiicieiu punisnment. jt a fine had been lev ied t;,r this offence, it i would have been a different matter; but we cannot c-usider that what was ratiier scat of Guvtnuueut by t'ae hope of sue- !: cess, some with, and si r.ie without jiist ; cause, mer.ihig equal commiseration.
