Both Houses of Congress resumed business yes- | terday, but as usual accomplished nothing. In the Senate, the expenses of the Mexican war, the | military affairs of the country, and the patent bill | were under consideration, but after a short session | the Senate went into Executive session. The principal points reviewed by those who took part in the debate, were the estimates of the war made by the government; and the proposed plan elect- ing general officers for the volunteers. In the House the debate was almost exclusively confined to the tariff, but after several speeches | there was no quorum present, and an adjourn- ment was forced upon those remaining. There has been no measure before either House of Con- gress, for years, which has been so much harped | upon as the tariff, and it is not surprising that the | members are sick of listening to the old, worn out arguments for, or against, the modifications pro- | posed, We have no doubt several weeks will be used up in discussing this bill, as it will be necessary for every member to make some movement for home consumption. The House is at ths mo- ment better prepared to take a vote on and dis, pose of this endiess subject now, than it will be weeks hence. The greater the delay and the more extended the debate, the greater the uncertainty in relation to any changes being made in the ex- | isting system, This subject has been so long be- | fore the people, that every politician, of any expe- rience at all,must be perfectly conversant with the | matter from one end to the other, and it is a | waste of time and treasure to procrastinate. The | fact is we want Congress to adjourn. We want to get over this session, and then we can form | some idea where we are and what we have done; but so long as the session lasts, everything con- | nected with public afiairs will be in an unsettled, | feverish staze, which will prevent all classes from | reaping the benefits of those measures, both poli- | | noblest rivers and finest harbors—the mouth of the | | an end, when our boundaries on the Pacific ocean | disposal of the President. | services for this patriotic work, and the great dif- | | Europeans this may appear strange, but it is truc, | only, during the existe: their present charte: about seventeen years. If the English gov: ment are satisfied with this, surely we are, more especially as she has always steadfastly ad- | hered to the channel of the Columbia, below its | southern branch as the dividing line. They have now relinquished nearly three degrees of latitude | north of this, and left all that is desirable for culti- | vation and settlement, together with one of the | Columbia—in the world, for our own use and | benefit. While the thanks of the whole country | are due to the administration for securing this, we | cannot withhold our meed of praise to the British cabinet, for so honorably relinquishing what they deemed their own soil. The Oregon territory pro- per is now our own. ‘The whole or none” was | the word, and the whole is secured, for the coun- try absve the 49th parellel is drained, not by the | Columbia, but by Frazier’s river ; a river conce™ | ded to have been discovered, appropriated, and | settled upon by the British, and known as New | Caledonia. | Here then we have a territory, sufficient in ex- | tent for five or six of the largest sizes States, into which our population will fow as steadily as the waters of the Columbia flow into the Pacific.

For this purpose, the whole country appears as one vast encampment. | Twenty-five thousand men were deemed suffi- | cient to conquer a lasting peace.

In less than twenty days thirty-eight full companies were in Camp Washington, at Columbus, eight of which, by proclamation of the Governor, of course, disbanded and sent back to their homes, and further enrollments ordered to be suspended.

The General is, we understand, about to visit New York; and he, no doubt, will be asmuch struck at the size and extent of the city, as our citizens will be delighted to have an opportunity of showing the hospitality of New Yorkers to a distinguished stranger. ‘Theatrical and Musical.

The disease, which is a fungus, seems to be periodical, havi: occurred several times within the last twenty years. It is a pity to be obliged to lose the Sycamores. Doas.—The dogs, like good citizens, have listened to muzzled according to law, or absented themselves from the streets. This is highly creditable on the part of the dogs, but unprofitable for the dog catchers.

It appeared that, previous to the month of De- cember last, a difficulty arose between plaintif and the members of the company, which ied to the present ac- tion. What the nature of the difficulty was, or what gave rise to it, was not stated ; but be that as it may, on the 26th of December last, (Christmas day,) the compan: turned out eee excursion, and selected for their target the effigy of the plaintiff, frst having it pained, so as to represent the pluintitf in his official character, with the star, the insignia of the preseut Price, on the breast, as the bull's eye;—and, in addition, the following . couplet wes inscribed on it, in black lette: “From his heart blood shall r By the bails of *41.
