' THE EXTRAORDINARY session.
1 1 id time for the people of the United Slates to
begin to inquire whether they are lo be any longer
consulted, in the affairs of Government, or whether
they are to belled blindfold from one measure to
another, until they know not where they are to end.
We have just had a Presidential election, in
which no principle was declared, or any system of
policy, or ahy set of measures, was pul.in’issuq by
t the victo ious party. . , ’ ■
Wo have just had ,a" session of Cpngrcss, in
which, during three months, the victorious party
peremptorily refused to show'their hand, or to
commit themselves on a single principle, measure,
cr system, or even to indicate the substitute for
the Independent Treasury, .which‘they propose to
repeal.
"Wo have just had an inaugural address from the
President elect, the largest one over delivered, and
not a word in it to give a glimpse of the course of
the new Administration in relation to a single
question, foreign or domestic, which occupies the
attention of the cohnlry. ...
And how we have a called sessioh of Congress,
involving no less than ten special elections, in
which the people-are not informed what it is that
they are Id vole oh at thbse elections, or what it is
that their representaliiria are to voteomwhen they;
meet together at tho extraordinary .seßsiondn May.
Truly these are hew scenes in the history, of
our country, and such as distinctly announce to
the people that they are to be governed and not to
govern 1 that hereafter they, arc to fallow and not to
lead the Government! that submission and acqui

« If ever there was an occasion upon earth in
which the people ought to have been. informed
what the extra session was called for—what the
I- toil and expense of ten special elections was to be
> incurred for:—this is the occasion. An election

“.Revenue” and "Jinanea"- aretautological. They
both mean the' same thing/ THey-both mean the
income—the annual income—of the 'Government.
Thq .only. point stated, then, is tbp revenue; and
here two inquiries immediately suggest , them
selves to the mind. Firth Arc the five millions of
Treasury notes which were granted by the late
Congress, in addition to the accruing revenue, in
sufficient to last the new Administration till Sep
tember, when Congress Could come together With
out inconvenience, and tho.oalled session run into
the stated onci and save half the expense! See.
ondlytle the Treasury to be emptied by a-distri
bution bill, and then filled by a.tariflf bill! . These
are questions which wilVoccupy the public mind,
but which cannotfind their solution,until Congress
meets. ",
We say that the proclamation' is studiously
dark on the objects of this called and we
prove it by tho contentsmf a letter wbichcontains
the internal evidence of its own authenticity.—
Tho Now, York Journal of Commerce contains a
letter from Washington written the day before the
proclamation,—Written on the 16th inst.—the proc
lamation being qu the ,17th—which says: “The
proclamation for the extra session will not, as was
supposed, set forth the reasons of the call,- Icon.
Jecturc that it will speak merely in the formal man
ner, of ortAVE and WEiontv MATTERS.’” Here
the character of tho proclamation is disolosed.be
foro.hand—no reasons to be given to the people—
nothing but tho formality of “grave and weighty
matters to be presented to them. - This shows
that there Was a consultation about the propriety
of giving reasons—the propriety of letting tho peo
pleknow^~wllantiey r “wpro-cal!ed-to-iiold--speoiaL
elections for, and what Congress was called to
gether in May.for; andthat it was, determined at
this consultation, to give no such information!—
So we go! The people called out to vote in the
dark—-to follow blindfold a Cabinet* and Presi
dent, and a leader in Congress, .whoso principles,
systems and measures are unknown and unknowa
.ble!—(Jiube,

Tho Jersey City Gazette, a whig paper, has the
following in reference to Pgle’s speech,' fh-hich
was such a favorite with the Tlarrtaonians gener

While House /’urmburc.-'—Tlm “palace” j s said

document to lay to our conscience, having no lot
or part in the matter, we ban consistently acquiesce
in w'hatever proposal is made'for providing the
President’s house with respectable fixtures>- How
stand'ouf Whig brethren in the premises, and how
will they escape the dilemma in which their ready
endorsement of Ogle’s nonsense has placed them?
“Nonsense” is a mild term,.to be sure, to apply
to tlie outrageous stories thus circulated against
Martin Van Burch, but stilt it is something to find
thatdmong tho whig press, journals are to be found

upon which to predicate charges of peculation,
and not unfrequentiy his interrogatories are ip;
clear violation of every principle of laW and com

which an impartial tribunal would scout at as
INFAMOUS in tho extreme —that this investiga

and unimpeachable board of canal commissioners

All that will come out of it, however, will be, that
the state will bo saddled with an expense of same
FIFTEEN or TWENTY THOUSAND DOL

tho federal editors to puff him as a wonderful re

McLeod’s trial has not yot taken place, nor will

THE FEDEh>t “PAPERS-AND-THE INAUGURAL.
Atflaost every place that we hear from, llie Fed
eral editors and leadcrs looked upon Che Inaugural
address of President Harrison, when it was first
received as a hoax.; 'There is not mucli wonder in
this, for they, had flattered themkolves that it wis
to bo something extraordinary—and so, it is—but
■not in the way they supposed,. It ia extraordinary,,
for Us for;iis.sjlly bonihast
and egptism—extraordinary '.forjts clulhsy,-awk
ward,and’unrheaning references to ancient history,
having, no. bearing, parallel to the cases with.which
they were compjvrcd-—extraordinary because it
proposes nothing for the consideration of the peo
ple, nor any measures for their relief from the pe
cuniary embarrassments with which they are sur
rounded, and which were t0..b0- swept aWay as
with the wand of the magician. No wonder, then,
that'his friends considered it a hoax, for they wore
hoaxed moefcgregiously,-whety they believed, or
pretended to believe, that Gen. Harrison was a
man of statesman-like talents, capable of produ
cing a document creditable to the nation and the
station he occupies. All who believed this were
hoaxed, and we verily believe that many now'wish
that the, apnuncialion of his election had been ,a
hoax rather than reality. Sven the venerable'
editor of the Cincinnati Advertiser, the'biographer
of Gen. Harrison, though an opponent, could not
believe the document to be genuine, so far was its
stylo and character below what he had expected;
Wo predict that Harrison’s supporters are not.yct
done beinghoaxed. He Will, if life and health bo.
spared him, wd fear, not hoax them only, but the
whole country, before his four years expire, to
such an extent, that a few years hence there will
be none possessed of hardihood enough to avow
that they were Harrison men.— Canton (O.) Dem.
The Inaugural Address again.—Vie make the
following additional extracts from our exchanges,
to show the estimate put upon the ‘lnaugural by '
some of those editors who ranked among*lho
friends of the present Executive.
Speaking of the address, the Now York Herald,
a Whig paper, says;
“Tlie address isdho of tho most unevenly com
posed and written documents tiiat ever came from
the brain or .pen of a .public functionary. Parts
of it ate most excellent,' and other parts most
trashy. ‘ The best parts of, it contain some of the
'soundest and purest doctrines that wete ever con
ceived; but they are hard, very hard to live up to.
Many otlier parts are unworthy tho tyro at college,
on his first attempt at composition, >.
The nonsense about “an exclusive metallic cur
rency,” is a crotchet of his own brain; a sort of a
shuttlecock which he stuck up and knocked down
for amusement three times in one paragraph. The
remarks about the District of Columbia are misera
bly Written; tho sentences are involved, complica
ted, and torfupus; they may be construed to mean
anythingor nothing. ■ The balderdash about.Qliver
CromwellaCtesar, and Bolivar; will elevate the
President m*the eyes of no oho". He dpes not .un*
dersland the character of either.' ‘ The clumsy al
lusions to Greece hnd Borne repeated again and a
gnin, may be Ihoughtolasaic by some, hut it would
be difficult to prove them so, ", '
As to the statement about no republic oyer merg
ing ’into an arialoefaoy; Gen. Harrison ought to
have read the history of Venice, and onedr two
republics wo could,name, before he made the.
sweeping-assertions we find-in his:measage. :_;' ~
The miserable manner:injvhich the subject of
abolition, and especially thedubjeot of our foreign
relations are slurred oyer; is sufficient to dtamp.the
