a 8 ‘What Has Congress Bone} OUR WASHING(ON CORRESPONDENCE. Wasmmoron, May 10, 1856. Bin} Mo: hs’ Work im Congress—Bight Unimportant Lancs Bnacted——The Labers of Three Hundred Statesmen. ‘The thirty-fourth Congress will soon have been in ses- sion six months—just double the time allotted for its ee0nd session—and it mayjbe interesting to recur briefly te some of the exciting if not profitable scenes through which it has passed—to tts prospects, its labors and its future promise. ‘The elections at which many of the members of the present House of Represen‘atives were returned to Con- gress, were contralled by new parties, new tissues and new exci’ements, and the result was tue congregation in eur national Capitol of a heterogeneous crowd, having no prineip'ss or interest in common, but with the popular idea abroad over the country that Know Nothingiam or Americaniem had triumphed at the polls, axd that “Sam’’ would coatrol Congress. Tae state of parties had algg resulted in the return to the lower house of an unt large proporiion of young men—men new in the political field, and inexperienced in matters of legis- lation, The old national democratis party, however, had sent up berfbest parlismen‘arians—her most expzrienced and best drilled leaders, and the result was » pro- teacted struggle for the organization of the House— ability ead experience contending agains! numbers. Tt was oon ascertained that there was D0 lender in the ranks of the triamphect opposition who could rally all his forces and bring them to a general engegewent. The resuit was!an exot.ing straggie through ome bucared and thirty two baliotings without an elec- tion, when on the one hundred and thirty-third bailot, just two months from the day the sersicn commencad, the Hon. Nathan P. Banks, Jr., was chosen Speaker under the p'urality rule. During this exciting contest—a contest long to be re- membgaif ia the annals of the republic, and which was tor awtfy tantamount to practical bu: peaceful revola- tion—one important tact was clearly demonstrated to the world: that our government rests not alone upon the checks and balances provided for 1. is the constitution, but upon the good ju’gment ftbe people, The former may, for awhile, be cisturbed, as was the case in the election of Speaker of the present Congress, but the latter—the good sound sense of the massez—will rectify all such mishaps. Here we had it demonstrated that the execu- tive and jadisial depart=eais cou'd move on smoothly end regulaly in spite of en absence of the third co- ordinate department—the jegis! 2. Could the same be said of any other governmen’ on earth? It is believed not, Gen, Vasa was in attendance cn a party givan by Louis Philippe, King of the French at that time, when news reached Paris that there had been a row in the Penn- sylvaaia Legislature, and that Mr. Penrose, the president, had made his eseape by jumping from the wicdow. Bverything excitement, and the whisper went the rounds that ‘‘the republic of the United Siates had fallen King Philippe met Gen. Cass, and, much agi- ired what itll meant. In reply, ths distia- ~Michigander” laughed, and said that ‘ tie first Justis of the Peace who shou'd be found would soon set- tle the whole difficul'y—aad there it would end.” This eircumstan:e shows us the European idea as to the sta- bility ct our glorious Union of free and independent States. The spectacle cf last winter in the elestion of Speaker must have satisfied every inteligent foreigaer that ovr governweat rested not particularly on one idea for ker ewpport, but upon many; and being deprivei of one, she aveils herself of another. Such was the pollii- eal leesom taught by this contest of one hundred and thirty-three ballots, Strange to say, that out of the one buadred acé thirty-six members voted for for Speaker, only two of them ran on every ba lot—Mesars, Banks and Fuller. Thoee two candidates ran entirely throagh the ballots, cm the firat to the inst. Dur'ag this protracted delay in the organizetion of the House, he Senate submitted a great virie'y of legislative billa, bat took mo astion on taem, and disicess seemed ‘at 0'deed look, when Presiien’ Fierce, evidently fearing tbat the matter of his would w stale determ ined upon 8 grand coup Pat, end bis message wea thrust upon the two houses of Congress, unsan anced ook ee new year’s git, however, reached the Spesker’s tabie in eptte ot eries for impeachment, and the country hai the message, though Congress has never yet made a refer. ‘ence oi it to the appropriate committees “Another result of this protracted absence of all legisla- tive Gxty was the preparation of numberiess pulls and resolutions, both public and private, for the considera Vion of Congress whensver an crgauization should oe had, ‘Aitbough only ten or # Cozen bills have passed iato faws, amoog which I would enumera‘e the following as — ® public character, yet the amont of busiaess re g before the two houses is greater than ever cefore ‘LAWe PAABED SY THE THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS AND APPROVED. ‘BU making sppropriations for the Military Aesdemy.
