Tho Appropriations Commttoo, in a wasteful poriod, becomes the principal fignro of tho body ; and a8 Congross, for soveral yoars ‘post, has boon a large number of mon sont Lore to securo the most monoy possiblo for each locality, a placo on this Committoo has boon considered superior to almost auy offico within tho gift of the Bponker, Indoed, tho reat of Congress has shown much joalotig} vf the compondious suthotity of tho Appropriations junto, and demanded that its work be distributed amongst seversl committoes, oach with jurisdiction over o cortain class of mattors. Mr. Hawloy, of Connectiout, made this point's fow days ngo, in & passage-at-arms with Mr. Halo, of New York, HUSDANDRY IN CONGRESS. Congross is a very simplo thing,'if you can dis- miss non-cssentinls from your mind.

Wo aro now in s pogition like this: Privato credit amongat Americans has run out, oxceptin & fow cases; and, if wo should for an instant hesitato about paying interest on {ho public credit, its prineipal would bo put up at anction, pnd then tho bonds of the United States would Inetand of boiug, 28 at prosent, sought for by peoplo with money, who pn}‘ about one dollar and a shilling for overy dollar's worth of bonds, 80 as to bo suro of got~ ting relinble interost as income, theso bonds would go shoap, solicited by iuternntionsl usurers only; and of course a nation's flunucial namo is estimated by whst its noto will eell for.
